CATSKILL — Residents packed town hall Tuesday night to learn more about a proposal to import construction and demolition debris to a former cement plant in Smith’s Landing. Peckham Industries submitted an application to the state Department of Environmental Conservation last month for a berm construction project. The berms will be made of construction and demolition, or C&D, materials, brought by barge up the Hudson River from Allocco Recycling in Brooklyn and Inwood Marine Terminal in Inwood.

Dozens of residents packed town hall Tuesday night for a presentation about a proposal to use construction and demolition debris to construct berms at Peckham Industries in Catskill.

The proposal calls for importing 600,000 tons of C&D materials over the life of the project, which is three to six years. The Catskill Town Planning Board has decided not to be lead agency for the project but will remain an interested party, Planning Board Chairman Joseph Izzo said. The DEC will be lead agency on the project and carry out the state environmental review. “There is no application from Peckham before this board,” Izzo said. “Our duty in this project is as an interested party. DEC will forward us information about the project as they See C&D A2

Working together on holiday feasts By Amanda Purcell Columbia-Greene Media

HUDSON — A band of volunteers have come together to show that helping others is its own reward. Greener Pathways to Recovery teamed up with small business Arica’s Insurance at 209 Fairview Ave., Wednesday in 7th Street Park to deliver Thanksgiving dinners to the homeless and others struggling to afford hot meals. A dozen volunteers handed out home-cooked turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, stuffing, rolls, cranberry sauce, gravy, sandwiches, fruit, and hot chocolate. Volunteers also brought free clothing and shoes for people in need to pick out.

High stakes for hard-to-count communities By Massarah Mikati Johnson Newspapers

ALBANY — Hundreds of billions of dollars in aid, representation in Congress and resources improving daily quality of life are just a few of the changes that will be brought by the 2020 Census. But as the rollout of the survey quickly approaches, states and municipalities are funneling their own resources to ensure their communities are not undercounted — a goal that is no easy feat. “Part of this is really kind of a civics lesson that we need to make sure we can articulate,” said Dan Irizarry, chairman of Capital District Latinos. “It’s pertinent to...making people understand how (apportionment) affects their day-to-day

lives.” Municipalities and organizations in the Hudson Valley, Western New York and the North Country are mobilizing and marshalling their own resources to encourage “hard to reach” communities — ranging from immigrants to students, senior citizens and Amish communities — to participate in the 2020 Census and reap the benefits of the resources at stake. “Counting every New Yorker in the 2020 Census is critical to ensuring we are accurately represented in Congress and receive the federal funding we deserve,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a statement last week. “While the federal government has thrown up roadblock after roadblock — spreading fear among immigrant

communities in the process — in New York we will break through and make sure that even our most difficult-to-reach communities are counted.”

A LACK OF PREPARATION? Last week, Cuomo announced the allocation of $20 million to fund organizations working with hard-to-reach communities, in addition to a statewide campaign that “will leverage resources across dozens of agencies, public authorities, CUNY and SUNY that regularly interact with millions of New Yorkers,” according to a statement from Cuomo’s office. Members of Complete Count Committees, or organizations across the nation that have signed up to combat an undercount of their areas, have

all commended the recent announcement from the governor, saying more funding to support their outreach efforts is welcome. Orville Abrahams, director of community development at the Capital District YMCA — another Complete Count Committee — said Cuomo’s use of already existing infrastructure is particularly efficient. “I’m very pleased with the governor’s incorporation of that money for the Census to ensure it backs up the Census Bureau itself, the Census Bureau’s local efforts to organize grassroots, local, community-based organizations and even different municipalities,” Abrahams said. “Complete Count Committees are...really making the responsibility known to communities

that if they’re not going to have the count accurately reflect who is residing and using services, they could end up suffering from a lack of representation, a lack of federal funds, etc.” Irzarry said that Capital District Latinos and other local groups have already been involved in Census outreach efforts “without charging the government any money.” “So we’re looking forward to an opportunity to now get some funding to really strategize and execute a plan to have maximum participation of the Hispanic community,” he said. But others have been more critical of Cuomo and the state government for their timing in preparing for the census.

continue with the state Environmental Quality Review.” The project will be subjected to some kind of review by the town, but the Code Enforcement Office has not decided whether it will be a site plan review, a special-use permit or a local waterfront review, Izzo said. “We can’t schedule a public hearing because there is nothing before the board,” Izzo said. “We are requesting that Peckham hold a public information meeting.” The planning board will hold a public hearing when it does its review of the project, Izzo said. “We are more than happy to hold a public information session,” Peckham Industries Vice President Joe Wildermuth said. The public should not be alarmed by C&D material, Wildermuth said. “RU carbs are recognized uncontaminated concrete, asphalt, rock, brick and soil,” he said. “The product we’re bringing in there, we want it to be clean.” Greg Peckham of Peckham Industries said the company

has been in business for more than 75 years. “We care a lot about our impact on the community and the environment,” he said. The project is appropriately sited, Wildermuth said. “We would like to develop the area for future industrial activity,” he said. “This is not a residential area.” The berms will be 40 feet high and will be built at the former Holcim cement plant. “The materials would be used to construct a series of visual, noise and dust barriers across the site to screen the industrial recycled asphalt pavement handling and processing operations from surrounding viewsheds, including the Hudson River,” according to the DEC. The berms will be constructed with consideration given to slope and will be seeded with vegetation, Peckham Industries Environmental Compliance Manager Jason Kappel said. The project will be subject to many state regulations, Kappel said. The two sources of the C&D materials are regularly subjected to state inspections, he added. Peckham’s site, if approved, would also be regularly inspected by DEC, Kappel said. These recycling facilities

are responsible for sorting out contaminated materials before the C&D debris can be distributed. Peckham is also requiring these two facilities to abide by sampling regulations the state will invoke in May 2021, Kappel said. The C&D debris will be sampled by the two facilities before shipping to ensure it is not contaminated and will be sampled again upon arrival before Peckham accepts the materials, Kappel said. “We cannot have that material on our property,” he said. In addition to these safeguards, Peckham will also put up a $1.3 million performance bond, Kappel said. “It is not a C&D processing facility,” Kappel said. Although an asphalt recycling building is noted in the plans, it is located away from the site, Izzo said. Scenic Hudson Land Use Advocacy Director Jeff Anzevino said the organization will be mindful of the project. “We have not had any conversation with them about this,” he said. Scenic Hudson worked with Peckham on a previous easement, Anzevino said. “That transaction is completely separate,” he said. Former EPA Regional Administrator Judith Enck

opposes the project. “It is very close to the Hudson River and wetlands,” Enck said. “This could not be proposed at a worse location, especially with the violent weather we see from the effects of climate change. C&D historically has other material laced in, including lead and asbestos. As someone who is committed to protecting public health and the Hudson River, I am firmly opposed to this project and call on Peckham to withdraw it.” Catskill resident Hudson Talbott was impressed with Tuesday’s turnout. “I’m so glad the community is alert and aware and active now, and taking action about our own health and environment,” he said. Talbott found Kappel’s presentation informative, he said, but described Kappel’s tone as “unnecessarily defensive.” “We just want to get informed,” Talbott said. “There is no reason for his defensiveness.” Talbott said he looks forward to opportunities for the public to ask questions about the project. “There is always the potential for it to be abused and for toxic waste to be included if it’s not properly monitored,” he said.

caught on in other cities, including Troy, Schenectady and Saratoga, setting up in community parks in all the cities, Quinn said. “For us this is just a matter for us to say we’re thankful everybody’s here, especially in the line of work we do when you see people die from overdoses all the time,” Quinn said. “We know there are families that are struggling this time of year. So this is just to outreach and for us to say, ‘You’re not alone. You don’t have to do this alone.’ That is what Thanksgiving means to us.” Quinn said the homeless population in the Twin Counties is small compared to some in the larger cities. Many are placed with county Department of Social Services when the temperatures drop, but that doesn’t mean they have access to hot meals. That’s where Quinn and fellow volunteers come in.

It’s something the crew hopes to expand and do more of in the future and venture out into Greene County. “Greene County works out really well because we partner with Community Action (7856 Route 9W) so they let us set up right in their parking lot,” Quinn said. “So it is a nice network between the two of us. Because we serve both counties we would love to do both.” Eventually the group would like to set up slow cookers so they can offer soup and other hot meals that many people staying in motels can’t prepare. Hot plates are not allowed in many supportive housing units and heating food in the microwave is not the same as having a homecooked meal, Quinn said. “Even if we just have a handful of people that come each week, it is worth it,” Quinn said. Several people in the

community and other businesses, including Hairy Situations salon, supported the volunteers’ efforts. “The community has been good to us and it is time to give back,” said Louise Pietragallo, whose daughter owns Hairy Situations, 26 Park Place. Quinn’s niece, Emily Valdez of Arica’s Insurance, and others spent the previous day preparing the 45 turkey dinners for the community. “When I was little we used to hand out dinner to people on Thanksgiving, and I wanted my kids to be part of that, as well,” Valdez said. “So I called my uncle and he said let’s do it. We decided to see what the need is and go from there.” To reach reporter Amanda Purcell, call 518-828-1616 ext. 2500, or send an email to apurcell@thedailymail.net, or tweet to @amandajpurcell.

of the benefits Capital District Latinos cites to its community as it tries to encourage Hispanics to make sure they’re counted in the census. “Even before you get to the idea of empowering our community, though, you have to overcome the fear component which is out there in the zeitgeist,” Irazarry said. “The fear is law enforcement surveillance, but also the fear of deportation and marginalization.” The Trump administration had been planning on putting a question on whether respondents are citizens in the 2020 Census, but was permanently blocked from doing so by three federal judges over the summer. Immigrants’ rights groups lamented the plan, saying it would make immigrants fearful of deportation and discourage them from participating in the census. Other minority communities that have been marginalized and discriminated against for generations may fear that participating in the census would mean “exposing themselves and their families to whatever malign kind of influence you think the government might have,” Irizarry said. That’s where communitybased groups come into play. By being of similar backgrounds as respondents and having the trust of their communities, these organizations are the most equipped to dispel misconceptions — all

survey responses remain confidential — and educate their communities about the empowerment that can come with census participation. “They’re the ones who can help bridge that trust gap,” Abrahams said. “They worked hard for their reputation to be at a place where it is to say, ‘No, we believe that your information will be held in confidence.’” In Livingston County, the planning department has connected with over 80 people working in local government, school districts and community organizations for outreach efforts. “The goal of organizing a large network of community groups and organizations was to identify those who may work with hard-to-count communities and those who work with groups affecting a large amount of the population in Livingston County,” Planning Assistant Shawn Rooney wrote in an email. “Our effort was to ask them to develop actionable ways that they can execute with the community members they interact to influence and promote a complete count.” Those organizations include libraries, the Geneseo Migrant Center and Catholic Charities. John Tenbusch, of the St. Lawrence County Planning Department, another Complete Count Commission, said he is particularly concerned about the county’s large

student population, senior citizens — who he referred to as “snow birds” — and local Amish communities getting counted in the census. “In 2010, every person that got missed cost local governments over $2,000 per year,” he said. “The stakes are important.”

Cuomo was responsible for appointing half of the members of the New York State Complete Count Commission, which is tasked with providing a report with recommendations on how to engage communities to participate in the census. But Cuomo did not complete his appointments until two weeks after their report was due, and the report was subsequently put out nine months after its January deadline. “This has been a colossal waste of time for everybody involved, and really an indictment of the way the governor and state government have approached this,” New York Immigration Coalition Executive Director Steve Choi said in a radio interview with Capitol Confidential. He also said the report lacked substantial, concrete recommendations, despite the numerous public hearings the commission conducted for community input. Despite the criticisms, Abrahams said “you can’t turn back the clock, so you really have to move forward and say, ‘What are we going to do now?’”

OUR VIEW

Small businesses are backbone of community Small Business Saturday, Nov. 30 this year, is a day to support the little guys. They are the merchants who own and operate the modest shops along Main Street in almost every town in America and especially here in the Twin Counties. But what does Small Business Saturday mean to us? Well, a recent study by American Express found that for every $100 spent at a local business, $68 of it stays within the local economy — compared to just $43 for large businesses. But, in the bigger picture, according to the study, small businesses create an atmosphere — the vibrant, unique soul of a community. They give community members a point of local connection and common experience. Small Business Saturday was born in the midst of the recession in 2010. It was judiciously placed on the Saturday after Black Friday, traditionally the biggest shopping day of the year and a day when shoppers head out in droves to big box stores and even bigger suburban malls. The intent of the day is to encourage people to “shop small” and take more holiday shopping to small businesses. In 2011, the U.S. Senate unanimously passes a

resolution in support of the day. President Barack Obama gives the resolution his seal of approval. In 2013, according to American Express, the founder of Small Business Saturday, more than 1,400 people and organizations form a group called Neighborhood Champions to rally and support their local communities with events and activities on Small Business Saturday. Since the day began in 2010, consumer spending on Small Business Saturday has reached a reported estimate of $103 billion, according to surveys conducted by American Express. Translation: That is $103 billion in just nine days. This is encouraging news. Small retailers, mom-and-pop stores, entrepreneurial shops and family-owned storefronts are rebounding as big malls switch their focus to restaurants, family entertainment complexes and factory outlet stores. We are glad to see small businesses, the backbone of every community in Greene and Columbia counties, are not merely surviving. They are thriving in the face of big competition and, in many places, winning.

ANOTHER VIEW

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has published a disturbing new report on antibiotic resistance, the first since its benchmark survey in 2013. Antibiotic resistance is the tendency of pathogens - bacteria and fungi - to fight back against antibiotic drugs, making some infections harder to treat, or untreatable altogether, one of the most severe public health threats in the world today. The CDC’s report offers a glimmer of hope that resistance can be slowed, but it also shows how the dangers are deepening and changing, including with a new pathogen that wasn’t even on the radar screen six years ago. Antibiotics, the miracle drugs invented in the mid-20th century, have made possible a revolution in modern medicine - for example, enabling organ transplants - and have spared countless individuals from death and illness. When bacteria became resistant in the early years, new antibiotics were readily created. But more recently, the pipeline of antibiotic development has slowed, and patients are again confronting untreatable illnesses. The CDC knew this when it estimated in 2013 that 2 million Americans suffered antibiotic-resistant infections resulting in 23,000 deaths a year. But using improved data methods, the CDC has now revised the estimates to 2.6 million infections then, and 44,000 deaths, nearly twice as many as thought. Today, the agency says there are 2.8 million infections and 35,000 deaths a year. The

number of deaths due to antibiotic-resistant infections has dropped by 18%, according to the CDC, largely because of successful interventions by hospitals. That’s the good news. But there is plenty to worry about. Though hospitals are making headway, the agency found some of the greatest increases in infections are acquired outside hospitals. Also, the threat of antibiotic resistance is remarkably fluid; new threats arise even as old ones are mitigated. For example, the CDC has raised the alert level to “urgent” for Candida auris, a multi-drug-resistant yeast that can cause invasive infection and death. Some strains are resistant to all three available classes of antibiotics. It wasn’t even listed in the 2013 report, but the CDC says reported cases have surged 318% in 2018 compared with 2015 to 2017. The CDC has also raised the alert level to “urgent” for strains of Acinetobacterthat are resistant to carbapenems, a class of highly effective antibiotics. Also concerning: Gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted disease, has rapidly become resistant to all but one class of antibiotics. The CDC has put a welcome and needed emphasis on fighting antibiotic resistance as a “one health” problem that is interconnected between human and animal health, and the environment. Big challenges remain, including being vigilant against overuse of antibiotics and creating an improved model for developing new antibiotics. There is no excuse for inaction. The threats are real, dynamic and persistent.

Give thanks for the ‘indigenous American berserk’ WASHINGTON — While giving thanks, save some for this: The dilapidation of the nation’s life, although painful for Americans to behold and embarrassing when others behold it, has illustrated this year what novelist Philip Roth called the “indigenous American berserk.” After visiting Japan, Donald Trump praised as “well meaning” his aides who ordered the Navy to move a warship “out of sight” lest the president see its offensive name: USS John S. McCain. Touring Mount Vernon, Trump was judgmental when informed by his guide that George Washington had owned much real estate. The former resident of Trump Tower, according to three sources, wondered why Washington had not put his name on his Virginia home and other stuff: “If he was smart, he would’ve put his name on it.” And: “You’ve got to put your name on stuff or no one remembers you.” Celebrating the wonders of his protectionism, Trump tweeted: “I opened a major Apple Manufacturing plant in Texas that will bring high paying jobs back to America.” It opened in 2013. The — definite article — Republican value, which is loyalty to the maximum leader, was exemplified by South Dakota Sen. Mike Rounds, who explained that Trump’s hush-money payment to his porn-star friend was in the service of family values: “I honestly think this president loves his family, and I think it has much to do with trying not to have public discussions about something that is for him a private matter.” By overturning licensing requirements, Texas decriminalized children’s lemonade stands. California’s government, which in 2017 increased gas taxes — the nation’s second-highest — in 2019 demanded an investigation of high gas prices. Progressives like high minimum wages. New York City’s progressive Book Culture stores blamed increased payroll costs for their financial distress after the city increased the minimum wage.

WASHINGTON POST

GEORGE F.

WILL New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was tickled pink, so he ordered several bridges and buildings to be lit in pink to celebrate “our progressive values” as expressed in legislation permitting abortions up to the moment of birth. NPR reiterated its language guidelines regarding abortion that discourage the term “unborn” because it “implies that there is a baby inside a pregnant woman.” Seeking exotic new things to put inside customers, KFC tested a new delicacy: a sandwich of breaded chicken with a layer of Cheetos. To make Williams College a “more welcoming, supportive and safe community for minoritized [sic] students,” the student newspaper endorsed, for blacks and other minorities, “affinity housing,” aka segregated dorms. When Williams’ student government refused to recognize a pro-Israel student group, one student explained that although Jews had experienced horrible “conditions” during the Holocaust, Palestinians today are “experiencing worse.” Elsewhere in higher education, the Alabama football fan who in 2011 poisoned several venerated oak trees at Auburn University, finally explained why: “I just don’t like Auburn.” Wary Lotharios at the University of New Orleans wondered whether valentines might violate the sexual-harassment policy (since updated) that forbade “suggestive” communications. A federal judge ruled in favor of Northeast Wisconsin Technical College student Polly Olsen a year and a half after she was prevented from distributing valentines with messages such as “Jesus loves you!” and

“You are never alone!” A security officer said someone might find her messages offensive. The NBA, careful to not give offense to Beijing regarding Hong Kong, continued “moving away” from referring to team owners as owners. Slaves, you see, were owned. The New York Yankees, whose industry effectively banned black players until 1947, and who waited eight years after that to hire one, stopped playing Kate Smith’s recording of “God Bless America” because long ago she had sung some racially insensitive songs, including one sung by Paul Robeson, a black civil rights radical. The city council of Berkeley, of course, voted that manholes shall now be called maintenance holes. Speaking during her brief attempt to become commander in chief, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand twice voiced opposition to “tactile” nuclear weapons. James Madison said the federal government’s powers are “few and defined.” New Jersey’s and Virginia’s senators said the government should address the problem of wind-blown beach umbrellas. There was, however, better news this year about government. Examining 15,000 handwritten notes in the archives of former Supreme Court justices, an academic found a limerick written by Chief Justice William Rehnquist during oral arguments concerning a New York regulation — similar to one the court had disapproved when Alabama adopted it to “discourage immorality” — that reduced welfare payments to mothers who took in lodgers: There was a young girl from Cape Cod, Who thought little babies came from God. But it wasn’t the Almighty Who lifted her nighty It was Roger the lodger, by God! George Will’s email address is georgewill@washpost.com. (c) 2019, Washington Post Writers Group

N.Korea launches two projectiles in Thanksgiving message to Trump Min Joo Kim The Washington Post

SEOUL - North Korea fired two projectiles on Thursday, using the start of the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States to telegraph its frustration over Washington’s refusal to grant sanctions relief. The short-range projectiles were launched from Ryonpo on the North’s east coast around 5 p.m. local time, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said. They added that the projectiles, presumed to have been fired from a super-large multiple rocket launcher, traveled a distance of about 235 miles and reached an altitude of 60 miles. “This type of act from North Korea does not help efforts to alleviate tensions on the Korean Peninsula,” the JCS said. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe described Pyongyang’s actions as a threat to the region and the world. “We will remain in close contact with the United States, South Korea and the international community to monitor the situation. We will increase our vigilance to preserve the safety and assets of the Japanese people,” he told reporters. The launch continues a more aggressive posture by North Korea over recent months as talks with Washington hit a stalemate. Pyongyang has warned that its patience is running thin, and has given the United States until the end of the year to change its “hostile” policy and salvage the dialogue process. Last month, North Korea test-fired what it said was a new “super-large” multiple rocket launcher. And earlier this week, North Korea said its troops carried out artillery drills near its disputed sea border with South Korea. Thursday’s launches appeared timed to coincide with the Thanksgiving break and the two-year anniversary of Pyongyang’s test of an

intercontinental ballistic missile known as the Hwasong-15, emphasizing the message to President Trump, said Rachel Minyoung Lee, senior analyst at North Korea-focused website NK Pro. “All in all, I think North Korea may be on a path toward more militaristic actions until the end of the year,” she said. The regime had not issued official pronouncements on the United States since Nov. 19 and appeared to be letting its weapons do the talking, Lee added. Pyongyang has threatened to resume long-range missile and nuclear tests, which leader Kim Jong Un agreed to freeze after he met with Trump in Singapore last year. Relations deteriorated after a follow-up summit in February ended without an agreement on nuclear disarmament in exchange for sanctions relief. Earlier this month, North Korea accused the United States of “betrayal” for continuing to hold military exercises with South Korea, and said it no longer felt bound by its previous promises. Pyongyang has conducted more than a dozen shorterrange ballistic missile tests since April, though Trump has repeatedly played down their significance. Kim has called for relief from the international sanctions that hobble his economy, but the United States says North Korea has not taken sufficient disarmament steps to justify easing the pressure. “The deadlock in nuclear talks with the United States is pushing North Korea to ramp up the level of provocation,” said Shin Beom-chul, a researcher at Asan Institute for Policy Studies in Seoul. North Korea has previously used U.S. holidays to send messages to Washington. It launched its first intercontinental ballistic missile on July 4, 2017.

Trump keeps losing in court. But his legal strategy is winning anyway. By Charlie Savage c.2019 The New York Times Company

WASHINGTON — Critics of President Donald Trump cheered Monday when a federal judge ruled that the former White House counsel Don McGahn must testify to Congress — and scathingly labeled “fiction” the administration’s arguments that top White House aides are immune from congressional subpoenas. Indeed, the outcome was the latest in a string of lowercourt losses for Trump as he defends his stonewalling of lawmakers’ oversight and the impeachment investigation. Other fights are playing out in the courts over Trump’s financial records and grand-jury evidence in the Russia investigation. But from a realist perspective, Trump is winning despite losing. That is because it is now late November — not May, when McGahn, on Trump’s directions, first defied the subpoena, or even August, when the House asked the judge, Ketanji Brown Jackson, to enforce its subpoena. The proceedings before Jackson consumed nearly a third of the year as she took briefs, conducted oral arguments and then composed a 120-page opinion. And her ruling was merely the end of the first step. The Justice Department immediately filed an appeal and sought a stay — virtually ensuring that the fight over McGahn will remain bogged down for the foreseeable future. (On Wednesday, Jackson placed a hold on her ruling to consider the stay motion.) And even if McGahn someday is forced to show up, a new cycle of litigation will inevitably start over whether specific information he might testify about is subject to executive privilege. Meanwhile, time is on Trump’s side. The realistic window for Congress to consider impeaching him is closing, with the 2020 election less than a year away. If the overriding goal is to keep information from coming out while his term and potential reelection hang in the balance, the Trump legal strategy is succeeding despite all the adverse rulings. “This is not about putting down markers for all time — it’s more about particular short-term objectives,” said Martin Lederman, a Georgetown law professor who worked on executive-power issues as a lawyer in the Justice Department’s Office of Legal

Doug Mills/The New York Times

President Donald Trump with Attorney General William Barr over his shoulder, makes during an executive order signing ceremony establishing the Task Force on Missing and Murdered American Indians and Alaska Natives, in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington on Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2019. As fights over the president’Äôs stonewalling of Congress play out slowly in courts, he is reducing the prospect that voters learn new damaging facts about him before the 2020 election.

Counsel. Like a football team up late in a game whose defense hangs back to prevent big plays while letting its opponent make shorter gains, Trump’s legal team is looking to run out the clock, putting forth aggressive legal theories often backed by scant precedent. The strategy risks periodic bad headlines in the short term and could lead to definitive rulings that hamstring future presidents — but it is demonstrably advantageous for consuming time. The theories include asserting that Congress lacks legitimate legislative authority to conduct oversight of whether government officials are engaged in wrongdoing, even though lawmakers have done so for generations; that impeachment investigators cannot gain access to grandjury evidence, even though an appeals court permitted just that during Watergate; and that senior presidential aides are immune from subpoenas, even though a judge rejected that theory in 2008. House Democrats have turned to the courts at an unprecedented tempo in their clashes with Trump, and they went into court Tuesday to file yet another case — this one challenging the administration’s defiance of a subpoena for documents about its attempt to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. But they are also growing disillusioned with the courts as a solution. The Democrat leading the

investigation into the Ukraine affair, Rep. Adam Schiff of California, has made clear that lawmakers will move forward with weighing articles of impeachment rather than getting bogged down in courts. He used another sports metaphor, the tactic of boxers who lean against the ring ropes and trick their opponents into exhausting themselves by ineffectively pummeling them. “We are not willing to go the months and months and months of rope-a-dope in the courts, which the administration would love to do,” Schiff said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, explaining that he and his colleagues view their investigation as urgent because Trump has solicited foreign interference in the 2020 election. Because of that, Schiff said, they will not wait even for witness testimony and documents they would like to obtain. Indeed, in another major court development Monday that got far less attention than the McGahn lawsuit, the Supreme Court blocked an appeals court ruling that the House can subpoena Trump’s financial records while the justices consider whether to hear the case — alongside a similar case involving the Manhattan district attorney’s push for such records. Both cases generated headlines when district court judges and then appeals courts ruled against the president. But if the Supreme Court does take the appeals, justices may

She invited a stranger to Thanksgiving by accident. This will be their fourth holiday together. Hannah Knowles The Washington Post In 2016, Wanda Dench texted the wrong number while inviting her grandson over for Thanksgiving dinner. The mix-up quickly became clear as Jamal Hinton, now 20, asked for a photo from the woman who said he hoped to see him at her house at 3 p.m. “You not my grandma,” he texted back, an emoji added to convey his laughter. But Dench, now 62, said her invitation stood. She lived 25 minutes away in Arizona. Hinton accepted. Four years later, they’re still celebrating the holiday together. And having barbecues. And going on dinner dates to Benihana’s. “She’s a great cook and she’s a great person to just hang out with,” Hinton told Time as the latest get-together approached. His favorite dishes from Dench’s kitchen: her turkey and green bean casserole. Dench and Hinton’s accidental friendship charmed the Internet back in 2016

- and every November since, as they snap a new Thanksgiving selfie. Pictures from the last three years sit pinned atop Hinton’s Twitter timeline. It all started with the errant text that Dench said she was initially embarrassed about. Her grandchildren thought it was “a hoot” and still tease her, she told The Post in 2017. Hinton said he was joking when - after confirming the unknown was not, in fact, his grandma - he texted, “Can I still get a plate tho?” “Of course you can,” said Dench. “That’s what [grandmas] do . . . Feed everyone.” So on Nov. 24, Hinton made the short drive to Mesa, Arizona, where he met not only Dench but her husband and her family - including her grandson. “She was very sweet and open,” Hinton told The Post two years ago. “I thought, ‘I can’t really not accept an offer like that.’ “ In a video of last year’s Thanksgiving meetup that Hinton posted online, Dench traced her attitude to

her military family upbringing. She was always moving around and meeting new people, she said. “Family is more than blood,” Dench added. “It’s the people you want to be with.” The circle of people keeps expanding. Now, Hinton brings his girlfriend Mikaela to dinner. This year’s gettogether will bring Dench to the house of Mikaela’s aunt, he told Good Morning America. Also coming along is the Monopoly set that Hinton says he got from Dench as a gift. “We don’t watch TV or anything. We just sit at the table for a couple of hours and talk the whole time and tell stories and see how we’ve been,” he told Time. “Time kind of just flies, we don’t even realize how long we’ve been there. They’re really good company.” Hinton said that he wants to play the host someday but that the logistics were tough this year as he and Mikaela move into a new apartment. “Next year,” he added.

issue no final judgment until the court’s term ends in seven months. To be sure, Trump may also be hoping that the Supreme Court — with its majority of five justices appointed by Republicans now including two by him — could eventually rule for him, just as it ultimately voted, 5-4, to permit a watered-down version of his travel ban even though lower courts had blocked it. Many administrations have sometimes made privilege and immunity claims to fend off or delay congressional attempts to pry information out of the executive branch, Lederman noted. But prior presidents, unlike Trump, were willing to resolve disputes through negotiation and compromise long before they could reach the Supreme Court. “If the Supreme Court justices decide they want to drag these disputes out, they can,” Lederman said.

The Knight’s Chamber Orchestra performs ‘Homage to Bach’ HUNTER – The Catskill Mountain Foundation presents The Knights Chamber Orchestra’s “Homage To Bach” at the Doctorow Center for the Arts in Hunter on Saturday, Nov. 30, at 8 p.m. The Knights are a Grammynominated collection of adventurous musicians dedicated to transforming the orchestral experience and eliminating barriers between audiences and music. Having performed and recorded with such renowned soloists as Yo-Yo Ma, Dawn Upshaw, Béla Fleck and Gil Shaham, and appeared in venues including Vienna’s Musikverein and New York’s Carnegie Hall, recent highlights include a performance as part of the opening season of the new Hamburg Elbphilharmonie and an appearance as the first American orchestra-in-residence at the Festival du Paques in Aix-enProvence, performing multiple concerts throughout the city, including programs with pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet and

The Knights Chamber Orchestra

violinist Renaud Capucon. The Knights recently presented a fully-staged version of Leonard Bernstein’s “Candide” in honor of his 100th birthday at both the Tanglewood Music Festival and the Ravinia Festival, and premiered The Head and the Load with international artist William Kentridge at London’s Tate Modern and New York’s Park Avenue Armory. The Knights evolved out of late-night chamber music sessions at the

home of violinist Colin Jacobsen and cellist Eric Jacobsen. Since the orchestra’s incorporation in 2007, the brothers have served as its artistic directors. In this “Homage to Bach,” The Knights look at a large range of music that was either directly or indirectly influenced by the master, including modernist giants such as Stravinsky, Ligeti and Kurtag. The virtuosity and dialogue between soloist and orchestra present in

Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto is a thread that is continued in Judd Greenstein’s concerto featuring The Knights’ flute soloist, Alex Sopp. Bach’s ghost makes an appearance in Colin Jacobsen’s new work, “Back in Your Cage,” as well as in Schnittke’s haunting piece, “In Memoriam Dmitri Shostakovich.” The flexibility and diverse talents of The Knights are showcased as solo and duo movements (some improvised in response to Bach) and are juxtaposed with larger ensemble works. “These two dozen musicians from Brooklyn ... playfully combine early music with avant-garde, great classics with world music—constantly blowing away audiences because this mix is simply irresistibly refined.” —Hamburger Abendblatt (Germany) Tickets purchased ahead are: $25, $20 seniors, and $7 for children/students. Tickets at the door are $30, $25 seniors and $7 for children/students. Visit www.catskillmtn.org or call 518- 263-2063.

Where childlike pleasure meets adult pain By Raymond Pignone Columbia-Greene Media

As the U.S. wallows in a moral quagmire and an epidemic of incivility, it’s time to reassess an appreciation for Fred Rogers. A living icon of unambiguous goodness, this genial entertainer held a firm and steady hand on the rudder of a nation plagued by one emotional crisis after another from the turbulent late 1960s to his retirement from public television in 2001. In “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,” director Marielle Heller transforms a foursquare biopic into a fantasia of childlike pleasures and adult pain. The movie presents Rogers as the embodiment of kindness, tolerance and self-esteem without turning preachy or mushy. Heller captures the essence of the beloved television personality: grounded and confident, yet always gentle and attainable. The movie is based on journalist Tom Junod’s cover-story profile of Rogers for Esquire magazine titled “Can You Say...Hero?” But Heller cleverly shifts the plot’s emphasis

Tom Hanks as Fred Rogers in “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.”

from Rogers to Matthew Rhys’ Lloyd Vogel (the character based on Junod), an investigative reporter struggling with his new responsibilities as husband and father and confounded by his estrangement from his father. This plot is introduced by a prologue filmed in the style of the children’s TV series “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” as Rogers talks softly to his young viewers about forgiveness. It’s an understated yet fantastical approach that sets up the

establishing shots depicting miniature cities with toy cars and airplanes. At first, the skeptical Vogel bristles at his assignment to profile Rogers, claiming he is too saintly to make an interesting subject. Hanks’ performance as Mister Rogers puts a comic spin on Vogel’s perception. Hanks skillfully integrates the myth of the public figure with a touch of mystery about his famed humility and his private eccentricities. Hanks steers clear

of impersonation (and caricature), while Heller resists plunging into a nostalgic narrative. Instead, she uses Rogers as a sort of mirror through which reflect both his values and the effect they have on the people who come into contact with him. “A Beautiful Day” is really the story of Vogel, who has to make his way, sometimes painfully, through emotional obstacles to focus on reconnecting with his father and growing closer to his patient wife and infant son. Rhys is very good in a performance of a man in the grip of moral rot eating away at him with rage and regret. With help from Rogers, Vogel gradually learns to shed his cynicism and patch up his life. On the surface, the plot of “A Beautiful Day” is conventional, but Heller adds wonderful creative flourishes to the story that raises it above the level of a standard biopic to something both entertaining and challenging. The movie isn’t a cinematic marvel, but it’s hard to resist its heartwarming charms.

CALENDAR LISTINGS TSL Movies November 28 December 5 n Stuffed — A documentary on the surprising world of taxidermy. Told through the eyes and hands of acclaimed artists across the world, the film explores this diverse subculture, where sculptors must also be scientists, seeing life where others only see death. From an all-female studio in Los Angeles that has elevated taxidermy to the forefront of fashion and modern art, to fine artists in the Netherlands, these passionate experts push creative boundaries. The film highlights a diversity of perspectives including an anatomical sculptor in South Africa and a big game taxidermist in Ohio. Stuffed reveals the importance of preserving nature, using taxidermy as its unlikely vehicle, and the taxidermist as its wild driver. 2019. 1h24m. n American Dharma — No stranger to interviewing some of the most controversial figures of our time, Errol Morris (The Fog of War, The Unknown Known) trains his lens on Stephen K. Bannon, questioning him closely about his beliefs, current feelings about President Trump, and films that shaped and continue to animate Bannon’s understanding of the world. Morris concludes that whatever one thinks of Bannon, ignoring him is the most dangerous course of action. 2019. 1h37m. n Synonyms — Winner of the Golden Bear at Berlinale, the latest from Nadav Lapid (The Kindergarten Teacher) features a dynamic lead performance from newcomer Tom Mercier, whose feral intensity practically bursts out of the frame. Mercier plays Yoav, a disaffected young Israeli who flees Tel Aviv for Paris to start a new life. Desperate to erase his origins, Yoav sees becoming French as his only hope for salvation. Step one is to replace his language. From now on, he will not utter a single word of Hebrew and his dictionary becomes his constant companion. His work at the Israeli embassy is a burden, but studying for his naturalization test also has its pitfalls. And the young French couple he befriends has some rather strange ideas about how to help him. Based on writer-director Nadav Lapid’s own experiences, Synonyms explores the challenges of putting down roots in a new place. In French with subtitles. 2019. 2h03m. n Varda by Agnes — The final film from the late, beloved Agnès Varda is a characteristically playful, profound, and personal summation of the director’s own brilliant career. At once impish and wise, she acts as our spirit guide on a free-associative tour through her six-decade artistic journey, shedding light on her films, photography, and recent installation works while offering her one-of-a-kind reflections on everything from filmmaking to feminism to aging. Suffused with the people, places, and things she loved – Jacques Demy, cats, colors, beaches, heart-shaped potatoes – this wonderfully idiosyncratic work of imaginative autobiography is a warmly human, touchingly bittersweet parting gift from one of cinema’s most luminous talents. In French with subtitles. 2019. 2h. n Queen of Hearts: Audrey Flack — Q&A with filmmaker Deborah Shaffer on Sunday, 11/17 following 5:00pm screening. At 88 years-old, Audrey Flack holds a unique place in the history of contemporary art in America. She has been a trailblazer, from her early days as an Abstract Expressionist in the 50s, to her successful career as the sole female Photorealist in the 70s, to her monumental public sculptures of recent decades. Queen of Hearts follows Flack as she takes her work in a brand new direction and reveals her long-term struggles as the mother of child with autism. A moving portrait of an artist who is still testing, still experimenting, still searching. 2019. 1h15m. n Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project — Q&A with the film’s producer Kyle Martin on Saturday, 11/23 following 6:00pm screening. A Communist radical who became fabulously wealthy, Marion Stokes secretly recorded American television 24 hours a day from 1975 until her death in 2012. For Marion, taping was a form of activism to seek the truth, and she believed that a comprehensive archive of the media would one day be invaluable. Her visionary and maddening project nearly tore her family apart, but now her 70,000 VHS tapes are being digitized for future generations. 2019. 1h27m. n The Servant (1963) — Posh Tony (James Fox) hires the seemingly proper and very attentive Barrett (Dirk Bogarde) as his manservant. Tony’s lady friend, Susan (Wendy Craig), disapproves of the everunflappable Barrett, which causes a strain in the couple’s relationship. When Barrett’s “sister,” Vera (Sarah Miles), arrives to stay, the situation descends into depravity, with the servant vying to become the new

master of the house. 1963. 1h55m. TIME & SPACE LIMITED 434 COLUMBIA STREET, HUDSON, NY | (518) 822-8100 | FYI@TIMEANDSPACE.ORG

Holiday Cottages Workshop at ACC ATHENS — Families are invited to the Athens Cultural Center, 24 Second St., on Saturday, Dec. 7, from 10:30-noon for a free workshop to create holiday cottages. These cottages are so easy and fun to make. Older children can do it on their own but parents will need to accompany children younger than seven and will enjoy this activity as well. To make it easy participants will start with a milk carton, put royal icing on all sides so the graham crackers will stick. The roof is where some children

will need a little help. Next comes the creative part — each child will decorate their cottage using miniature marshmallows and a variety of holiday candies. The group will create a Christmas Village using the cottages, which will be displayed for all to see during the annual Victorian Stroll, which takes place on Saturday, Dec. 14. Prizes will be awarded on that day and cottages can be picked up after the stroll. Email any questions to info@athensculturalcenter.org or call 945-2136.

Jets’ Darnold is the best quarterback in the AFC East Manish Mehta New York Daily News

Robert Deutsch/USA TODAY

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (14) throws against the Oakland Raiders at MetLife Stadium.

Giants’ Barkley shuts down speculation his health is causing his slump Pat Leonard New York Daily News

Saquon Barkley’s in-andout juke on Buster Skrine last Sunday in Chicago was vintage Barkley, leaving the Bears’ corner in the dust on an impressive 22-yard fourth quarter run. Barkley has slumped as a playmaker recently, so he is constantly asked whether his right ankle is preventing him from playing to his full potential. But it has been more than two months since Barkley’s high ankle sprain, and on Wednesday, the Giants’ frustrated running back set the record straight once and for all. “Did I look hurt?” Barkley said, interrupting a question about Sunday’s amazing cut. “I know that’s where you’re going towards (with this question). So did I look hurt? No. So let’s stop making an excuse that I’m hurt. I’m not hurt. Let’s stop making an excuse that I’m not 100%. No one’s 100%.” Barkley typically talks on Thursdays, but the media isn’t in the facility on Thanksgiving Day. So he stepped to his locker on Wednesday, with his hood up a second straight week like Odell Beckham Jr. used to do as a Giant, and continued to exude restlessness

Sam Darnold answered all the wisecrackers thinking up unfunny ways to lampoon him by lifting a figurative middle finger through his play on Sundays. The Jets second-year quarterback has officially turned the seemingly endless stream of ghost jokes that trailed him for a couple weeks after his nightmarish primetime performance in a loss to the Patriots into a memory. At the risk of offending Patriots Nation and Bills Mafia, Darnold is playing the best among AFC East quarterbacks these days, fueling a Jets resurgence that has them on a three-game high entering Sunday’s game in Cincinnati. It’s been five weeks since Darnold was caught muttering to himself on the sideline about seeing ghosts during his five-turnover nightmare against Bill Belichick’s team. He followed that up with a three-interception game in Jacksonville that cued critics to pile on. Then, everything changed.

with this season. “I could pull up multiple clips where you can look back and you could see I’m doing the same things I did in college or I did in my first year,” Barkley continued, discussing his physical capabilities. “This season’s not going the way I would like it. I’m not gonna put the blame on anyone else. You’ve got to point the finger

at yourself first. You’ve got to be better. I’ve got to be better. And I’m gonna keep working.” Barkley probably is sick of the injury questions because what he’s really being asked for is a reason why he’s not producing. And that’s a reminder of the frustrating reality he is already well aware of himself. The ankle sidelined him

Weeks 4 through 6, and in the five games since he returned, Barkley is averaging 2.7 yards per carry (81 rushes, 224 yards), he is averaging 21 total touches for just 81.8 yards per game, and he has not scored a touchdown in three weeks. He was held to that embarrassing 13 carries for one yard by the Jets before the bye

Duso leads Chatham bowlers past Hudson Columbia-Greene Media

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (26) runs in the second against Chicago Bears cornerback Kyle Fuller (23) at Soldier Field.

“I thought he handled it really well,” Adam Gase said Wednesday. “I mean, considering that was one of those games (against the Patriots) where you want to burn the tape. You want that thing eliminated from your resume. So, the fact that he handled it as well as he did... I’m sure it wasn’t easy. He never said anything to me. He just put his head down. But I’m sure that wasn’t an easy thing to do for him.” Darnold has been on fire since he had five touchdowns and eight interceptions (nine turnovers) in his first four games. The 22-year-old signal caller has 10 total touchdowns (eight passing) and only two interceptions to help Gang Green go 3-1 in their last four games. He has completed 66.4% of his passes with a 108.1 passer rating during that stretch. For all the good things Buffalo’s Josh Allen has done during that same span (10 total TDs, 1 INT, 60.5 completion rate and 98.7 passer rating),

CHATHAM — Andrew Duso rolled a 247-625 to spark Chatham to a 4-1 victory over Hudson in Tuesday’s Patroon Conference bowling match. LJ Morse had a 201-574 for the Panthers (1-1).

Hudson hit games of 868, 947 and 876 for 2,691. Maple Hill 5, CoxsackieAthens 0 CASTLETON — Michael Laney tossed a 233-614 to highlight Maple Hill’s 5-0 victory over CoxsackieAthens in Tuesday’s Patroon Conference bowling match.

Fizdale’s seat gets hotter after Raptors rout Knicks Stefan Bondy New York Daily News

John E. Sokolowski/USA TODAY

Toronto Raptors forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (4) controls the ball against New York Knicks forward Ignas Brazdeikis (17) at Scotiabank Arena.

This can’t be good for David Fizdale’s job security. Seventeen days after team president Steve Mills hijacked the postgame media availability to announce his disappointment with the Knicks’ performance, the Knicks were absolutely crushed by the Raptors on the road, 126-98. It represented a fourth consecutive defeat for the Knicks (4-14), who own the worst record in the Eastern Conference. Mills, who is on his fifth coach as either GM or president, has been “laying the groundwork” to fire Fizdale, according to ESPN. Mills has said he’s judging the season in 10 game increments. The Knicks went 2-8 in the opening 10 and are now 2-6 in the second increment. Their next two games are against top-flight opponents — home against

the Sixers on Friday and the Celtics on Sunday. Against another contender Wednesday, the Knicks folded like origami paper. They led by 11 early in the second quarter but then immediately succumbed to a 34-13 Toronto run and never recovered. New York trailed by as many as 32. If anything, the game reinforced that Dolan should chase Raptors president Masai Ujiri to run his basketball operations. Ujiri lost his best player from last season’s championship squad — Kawhi Leonard — but still has a contender with a 13-4 record. Toronto gained another superstar through development in Pascal Siakam. The 25-year-old from Cameroon, who was last season’s Most Improved Player, finished with 31 points in just 30 min. It was a homecoming for RJ Barrett, a Toronto product whose father,

Rowan, is the GM of the Canadian national team. Barrett missed the previous game because of an illness but recovered for his big night at Scotiabank Arena, where he scored an inefficient 16 points on 5-of-17 shooting. The rookie said he had about 300 friends and family in attendance. Before the game, Barrett told reporters he plans to play for the Canadian national team in June at the Olympic Qualifying Tournament. Barrett skipped the FIBA World Cup last summer. “One hundred percent. I definitely plan on playing for my country this summer,” Barrett said. “I’m very proud to say that. Try to play every summer, as much as I can, so 100 percent planning on playing. It’s great to see everyone buying, trying to do something great for our country, try to get to Tokyo. Just really excited.”

virtually unplayable. Still, he was the only option when Dinwiddie needed rest. Pinson finished 1 of 8 from the field for three points. He was able to find his teammates to the tune of eight assists on the night, but Pinson’s inability to hit shots was the difference against the Celtics. The Nets, though, were never truly out of this game. Whenever they fell behind by double figures, they rallied back, one flurry of 3s at a time. “They play hard each and

New York Daily News

The Celtics fans who flooded Boston’s TD Garden for their matchup against the Nets may have been ready to boo Kyrie Irving’s new team all night long. But those “Kyrie sucks!” chants quickly turned into cheers. That’s because the game turned into the Kemba Walker show, and Irving’s replacement dominated with 39 points in the Celtics’ 121-110 win over the Nets — which snapped Brooklyn’s four-game win streak — on Wednesday. Irving, of course, did not make the trip to Boston, nor did he travel with the Nets to Cleveland. He has missed the Nets’ last seven games with a right shoulder impingement that has prevented him from practicing with the team. Walker, on the other hand, was stretchered off the floor after running into his teammate on a Nov. 22 matchup against the Nuggets. He missed one game with what was diagnosed as a neck sprain. “I couldn’t wait. I had a chance to watch my team,” Walker said on the ESPN telecast postgame. “It kind of just showed me the things I can do to help my team. I kind of needed that day off. I’m happy I was able to get it. I’m happy I’m feeling good.” Walker returned to the lineup and played his best game as a Celtic. Walker was 13 of

every night, every possession,” Walker said of the Nets postgame. “Those guys do not quit. Much credit to their coach for having his team ready. You have to respect a team like that.” The Nets and Celtics should get used to seeing each other. They’ll play again on Friday night in Brooklyn. It’s unclear whether Irving will be available after Thanksgiving. But one thing’s for sure: He’d better be ready when the Nets go back to Boston on March 3.

24 from the field and shot 6 of 10 from 3-point range. The Nets, who rode Spencer Dinwiddie’s hot streak to a 5-1 record in the games leading into Wednesday night, just didn’t have enough. The Nets were good in spurts, particularly the

second quarter, when they scorched earth from the 3-point line. They finished with 21 made 3s on the night with Taurean Prince, Garrett Temple and Joe Harris each hitting at least four. But the killer for the Nets was the second unit, which

is really made up of thirdunit players due to injuries to Irving, Caris LeVert, Wilson Chandler and, of course, Kevin Durant, who is presumptively out for the season. Spencer Dinwiddie was already having a cold night. His backup, Theo Pinson, was

Isaac Likekele scored a career-high 26 points, and coach Mike Boynton Jr. had a successful homecoming as the Oklahoma State Cowboys defeated the Syracuse Orange 86-72 in the semifinals of the NIT Tip-Off in Brooklyn, New York. Likekele, a sophomore point guard, added eight assists, five rebounds and five steals. He made 8 of 11 attempts from the floor, including his only 3-point attempt, and 9 of 10 free throws. The Cowboys also got 19 points and eight rebounds from Yor Anei and 16 points from Thomas Dziagwa. Boynton, who grew up in Brooklyn, has directed the Cowboys to a 6-0 record, their best start in five years. The Cowboys will play the Ole Miss Rebels on Friday for the NIT Tip-Off title. Syracuse forward Elijah Hughes, the only returning scorer from last season’s 20-win, NCAA Tournament team, led the Orange with a game-high 28 points. Freshman point guard Joe Girard III of Glens Falls added 12 points and a game-high nine assists. Syracuse (4-2) had its fourgame win streak snapped, and the Orange fell to 1-4 at the Barclays Center, site of the 2018 ACC Tournament. Oklahoma State is now 4-2 in its series against Syracuse, although this was their first meeting since 2006. The Cowboys got off to an 11-0 start in a first-half full of runs. Syracuse answered with a 10-0 stretch to make it 1110, and that Orange hot streak morphed into a 21-3 run and a 21-14 lead. But, just like that, the Cowboys turned it on again, posting a 29-10 run to take a 43-31 lead into the break. The big difference in the first half was Oklahoma State’s shooting from the floor (50 percent) compared to Syracuse (28 percent). Likekele led all scorers at the half with 12 points, and Hughes had 11. The Cowboys led by as many as 21 points on two occasions in the second half, and Syracuse never seriously threatened in those final 20 minutes.

Rangers grab 3-0 lead, hold off Hurricanes Field Level Media

Mika Zibanejad scored a power-play goal in his return from an upper-body injury and Henrik Lundqvist made 41 saves in his 1,000th career appearance for the Rangers, counting the regular-season and postseason, as New York built a three-goal lead in the opening period and held on for a 3-2 victory over the visiting Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday. In his first game since Oct. 27 when he was injured on a hit by Boston’s Patrice Bergeron, Zibanejad made his first appearance when Carolina took two penalties in the opening 2:39. Zibanejad scored his fifth goal of the season but the first since getting a hat trick at Ottawa on Oct. 5. He scored by positioning himself at the left side of the crease, where

Lundqvist made four saves on Foegele in a span of about four seconds midway through the first after the Rangers went up 2-0. After allowing two goals in 89 seconds on Dzingel’s tip-in and Foegele jamming his own rebound in, Lundqvist dove across the crease to make a stick save on Martin Necas with about 3 1/2 minutes left in the second. In the third, Lundqvist withstood a late Carolina power play by making consecutive point-blank stops on Dougie Hamilton and Andrei Svechnikov to preserve the one-goal lead.

he waited for a cross-ice pass from defenseman Adam Fox and lifted the puck into the vacated side of the net before Carolina goaltender Petr Mrazek could get back in position. Brendan Smith and Fox also scored for the Rangers, who won a third consecutive game for the first time this season. Artemi Panarin collected two assists for his ninth multipoint game in his last 11 contests. The Rangers improved to 9-4-1 in their last 14 games. Lundqvist joined Hall of Famer Martin Brodeur as the second goaltender to appear in 1,000 games (postseason and regular season) with the same team. He became the sixth player in Rangers’ history to reach the milestone. Ryan Dzingel and Warren Foegele scored in the second

‘Next Lamar?’ Top 5 dual-threat QBs in 2020 draft Field Level Media

The old adage goes, “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em,” which certainly applies to the NFL and its collective feeling on Baltimore Ravens 22-year old superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson. Despite winning the Heisman Trophy at Louisville using the same dazzling combination of athleticism and accuracy that has earned him obvious front-runner MVP status, Jacksons slipped to the 32nd and final pick of the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He had as many critics as proponents, with some even suggesting that his best shot at success against the pros would require a switch to wide receiver. Jackson, currently tied for the NFL lead in passing touchdowns (24) and leading all rushers with nine plays of at least 20 yards, not only has silenced his critics in guiding the Ravens to a 9-2 start (including a seven-game winning streak), his stellar play has turned doubters into fans, forcing some front office executives and NFL scouts to wonder if, perhaps, strictly pocket passers could be dinosaurs as the pro game evolves. As such, the race is on this winter to canvas the country in search of the “next Lamar.” The frank reality is that while college football does offer some intriguing dual-threat quarterbacks, Jackson is special. How special? Consider that despite being bigger, more elusive and more accurate on short and intermediate passes, Jackson has tirelessly

Darnold From B1

Darnold has been the top player at his position in the division since those back-toback losses to the Patriots and the Jaguars. Truth be told, Tom Brady (4 TDs, 1 INT, 56 completion rate, 78.9 passer rating) isn’t playing

Giants From B1

week, and had 14 carries for a measly 28 yards the week before against Dallas. It’s not all on him, obviously. The offensive line, playcalling, everything factors into a run game not working. Still, Barkley hasn’t played his best either. There have been yards he’s left on the field. (More Giants) Pat

been compared to Michael Vick, who entered the league when the former was just five years old. The cliché “generational talent” actually applies with these quarterbacks. The closest comparable to either currently playing college football is Ohio State true sophomore Justin Fields, who won’t be eligible to enter the NFL draft until 2021. But should an NFL team really be willing to commit to basing their offense around a dualthreat dynamo from this year’s draft class, these are the must-see candidates. Jalen Hurts, Oklahoma Sooners, 6-1, 218, 4.50 40-yard dash: A legitimate Heisman candidate, Hurts is easily the most celebrated and proven of the quarterbacks on this list, starring not only for the Sooners but previously at Alabama. Though he possesses the vision and nimble feet to elude defenders, Hurts relies on his rifle for an arm and a more physical running style than either Jackson or Vick, proving more F-150 than Ferrari. Along with his physical traits, Hurts will earn high marks with scouts for his leadership. Through 11 games, Hurts has completed 71.3 percent of his passes with 30 touchdowns against just six interceptions, while rushing for another 1,156 yards and 17 scores. Khalil Tate, Arizona Wildcats, 6-1, 215, 4.60: Like Hurts, Tate is a such a gifted athlete that many have already pegged him as a candidate to switch positions in the NFL. His vision,

lateral agility and burst could draw looks at running back, or depending on his ball-skills, either wide receiver or safety. Tate currently has 2,207 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns to his credit, including a spectacular 2017 when the thensophomore averaged an eye-popping 9.2 yards per carry for a total of 1,411 yards and 12 scores. Unlike some of the others on this list, however, Tate has not improved his accuracy with experience, completing just 60.4 percent of his passes this season with a disappointing 12-8 TD to INT ratio through 10 starts. Tyler Huntley, Utah Utes, 6-1, 215, 4.60: The fastest-rising dual-threat passer in the country this year is Huntley, who quietly has made significant strides in his accuracy while guiding the Utes to their second consecutive Pac-12 title game and a potential College Football Playoff berth. Huntley sports a shorter, squattier frame than Jackson and is more of a scrambler than a true breakaway threat. He currently has 1,084 rushing yards on his resumé along with 16 touchdowns, and has shown much better precision and poise from the pocket this year, especially on the critical intermediate passes that have helped Jackson distinguish himself from Vick. Bryce Perkins, Virginia Cavaliers, 6-2, 215, 4.55: From a size and style perspective, Perkins may be the closest comparable to Jackson. Virginia head coach Bronco Mendenhall recognizes the unique versatility Perkins provides,

incorporating plenty of read-option and designed runs for the fleet-footed quarterback, as well as passes to all levels of the field. While talented, Perkins remains quite raw as a passer, too often throwing off his back foot and spraying the ball. The Arizona State transfer flashed as a junior, completing 64.5 percent of his passes for 2,680 yards and an impressive 25 touchdowns against just eight interceptions but has failed to build upon these numbers in 2019, watching his touchdowns (15) drop along with his yards per attempt. He doesn’t have the same make-you-miss that Jackson possesses - frankly, no one does - but is a decisive runner with smooth acceleration, as his 1,446 rushing yards and 18 scores in just under two seasons for the Cavaliers prove. Kelly Bryant, Missouri Tigers, 6-3, 225, 4.70: After being sandwiched between Deshaun Watson and projected future first-round pick Trevor Lawrence at Clemson, Bryant has relied more upon his arm than legs at Missouri, throwing for a career-high 15 touchdowns against just six interceptions while rushing for just 242 yards and a single score. Scouts who remember him at Clemson, however, will recall that Bryant can be very effective on the ground, as well. He ran for 665 yards and 11 scores in 14 starts in 2017 and possesses the size, arm talent and name recognition to warrant an invite to a senior all-star game where his dual-threat talents might be put more on display.

anywhere close to Darnold (or Allen) in the past month. “He did a good job of resetting,” Gase said. “The best thing that happens is when you play the next game. All your focus has to go in on that. If it doesn’t, then it’s tough. If you’re worried about something else, it’s not going to work out well.” “So, I think that he did a good job of wiring in on what

was going on that week,” Gase continued. “Focusing on that team, pouring into the film, pouring into the game plan, practicing. It’s just all those things. All the other stuff goes away because you have to put so much effort to get ready for the next game.” Darnold has made smarter decisions in the heat of the moment, taking strategic chances without being reckless. He’s

hardly been perfect, but there have been tangible signs of improvement. He’s throwing the ball away much more often rather than trying to be a hero. Darnold deserves the bulk of praise for course-correcting, but Gase has done a solid job helping his young quarterback in recent weeks. The coach has been better at tailoring plays to what makes most sense for this young quarterback. That

wasn’t always the case. “A lot of the guys I’ve been around have been older players,” Gase said. “I think those guys have... got scars from the past. They know how to get through a lot of that stuff. It’s the first time I’ve been through a rough spell like that with a really young quarterback.” The recent results have been encouraging even if they haven’t exactly come against

the toughest opponents. Darnold has led an offensive resurgence that has included 95 points during their threegame winning streak. “I think it’s closer to what we want,” Gase said about his offense. Darnold definitely ain’t afraid of no ghosts. He’s the best quarterback in the AFC East right now.

Shurmur’s Giants can’t afford unforced errors like Sunday’s punt return gaffe “ He had a killer drop early in Sunday’s loss to the Bears that set a sour tone for the rest of the afternoon. And last week the tone in Barkley’s words reflected increased frustration. He talked about returning to his own running style and having fun again, how his dad always told him to play the way he knows how to play “when people tried to change my running style in high

school and middle school and so on.” Barkley said he did have fun in Chicago and expressed optimism in his team’s ability to start getting results despite the seven-game losing streak. “We’re not as far as everyone thinks,” Barkley said. Those words sound like nothing more, though, than a smart young man who knows the right thing to say. Head coach Pat Shurmur said, in an answer to whether this losing will zap Barkley of

his spirit, that the Giants are young as a team, and they’re learning together how to correct their critical errors, they’re persevering. And he added: “I think Saquon’s learning that as well, and I don’t think he’s any different than any young player that’s out there.” Barkley, asked if it’s accurate when Shurmur says he’s young and still learning like anyone else, said: “I don’t look at it that way, but I guess he’s not lying. I’m only 22. On my

second year. “But you’ve got to hold yourself to a higher standard and hold yourself to higher expectations,” the running back added. “And that’s how I am, that’s how I’m gonna continue to be, even though you face adversity or this season’s not going how we want as a team, we just got to keep working.” Barkley also quoted two people before he wrapped up for the Thanksgiving holiday. One was Bill Parcells. “You are what your record says you

are.” Barkley said that’s true of the 2-9 Giants but they can still show they’re more than what outsiders believe. He also said: “I wrote in my notes today, ‘The great ones figure it out.’ And I want to be great, and I’m gonna figure it out.” You know who said that? No one, to Barkley’s knowledge. That’s an original. That’s how he’s trying to drive himself through this increasingly frustrating time.

Despondency intensifies as cold weather approaches Dear Abby, I’ve been thinking about suicide a lot lately, more than usual. I’m not angry about anything, just in pain. I keep getting knocked down after I try so hard to pick myself up. I tried calling a hotline, gave up on that. (I guess they’re busy.) I can’t afford doctors and psychiatrists. DEAR ABBY The weather’s changing, and I don’t do well in the cold. I love my home, but sometimes I wonder if I’m really happy here. My kids live within a couple hours’ drive. They have beautiful kids of their own. I’m going to miss them dearly. I no longer feel I have anything to offer in other aspects of my life. I wonder why I have to just exist. I’ve heard people say when someone dies “at least they’re not in pain anymore.” That sounds pretty good to me. I guess I just really wanted to get this off my chest. I don’t expect a miracle, but thanks for listening. Anonymous In Arkansas

If she persists, and other co-workers feel as you do about it, bring it to the attention of your supervisor or HR and let that person handle it.

JEANNE PHILLIPS

Dear Abby, One of my co-workers constantly interrupts when I’m having a conversation with other people. It doesn’t seem to matter who I am speaking with or what the subject is. She’ll interrupt in the middle of the conversation, and everyone must stop and look at her or acknowledge her. We are in a professional environment, and I feel her behavior is extremely discourteous. The subjects she discusses are things like the sandwiches her husband bought the day before, what they had for dinner that night or whatever is trending at the moment. She never discusses work-related issues. This happens every day and it’s disruptive. Would you kindly share some ideas on how to deal with her interruptions? Bothered Office Guy

Goal-setting for diabetics: What is a ‘normal’ glucose level? All my friends who are hypertensive have been able to bring their blood pressure to 120/80 or less. However, I have diabetic friends who are taking several diabetic drugs but none has been able to bring the fasting glucose levels to the ideal amount, around 85. As a matter of fact, none is even near 100. Is this situation common? Why is it so hard to lower the fasting glucose levels? The “ideal” level for neither blood pressure nor blood sugar is known for certain across all age groups and risk levels. The consensus opinion for the best goal has changed over time, depends TO YOUR on a person’s situation, and isn’t GOOD HEALTH even agreed upon by all experts. However, there is indeed increasing evidence that blood pressure, at least for people at higher risk for heart disease, should be in the low range of 120/80. The medications we have now are very effective at getting the blood pressure down, with a low risk of side effects, for most people, even if without a very healthy lifestyle, including diet, exercise and stress. Diabetes control can be measured by fasting glucose, but a better predictor of diabetes complications is the hemoglobin A1C. It is affected by both fasting and non-fasting glucose, and looks at overall blood sugars over the preceding weeks to months. Some people have low fasting sugars but extremely high sugars after eating. The A1C level in a person without diabetes is normally between 4% and 5.6%. That’s an AVERAGE (not fasting) blood sugar of 70 to 126 mg/dL. However, it’s not recommended for most older Type 2 diabetics to have an A1C level that low. Part of the reason is that people with an A1C that low are at risk for having so low a blood glucose that they can develop symptoms of hypoglycemia. Extremely low blood sugars are very dangerous

DR. KEITH ROACH

for a person taking diabetes medication. Another part of the reason that many people with diabetes are recommended an A1C level closer to 7% (an average glucose level of less than 154 mg/dL) is the result of the ACCORD study. It showed that people with diabetes who are at high risk for heart disease were more likely to suffer a heart attack if striving for more stringent blood sugar goals. So, the idea that there is an ideal fasting blood sugar goal is oversimplified; 85 will be wrong for many, but 80-130 is a range most will fit into. Some people with diabetes, especially younger people or those with Type 1 diabetes, may be recommended to have a near-normal A1C. Very tight control reduces the risks of developing certain complications, especially of the eyes, nerves and kidneys. So, part of the reason your friends don’t have a near-normal blood sugar is that they have been told that isn’t the right goal for them. Those who do have a goal of tight control need to be meticulous about their diet, their exercise and their medication in order to achieve a near-normal A1C without risk of low blood glucose. It’s not easy and requires coordinated effort, not just by the patient, but also by the health care team, which may include physicians, registered dietitians and nurses. Newer treatments and diagnostics, such as insulin pumps, more medication options and continuous glucose monitors, have made the goal more possible to obtain for people with hard-to-control diabetes, but is still very difficult for some. Many people with Type 2 diabetes will have a much easier time getting blood sugars near normal with weight loss, especially if they lose weight early in the course of the disease.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you can confidently boast that you are one of everyone’s favorite people — and though this may be something of an exaggeration, the truth is that there are very few who do not want to spend time with you — be it for professional, personal or recreational reasons. You are stable, consistent, reliable and always honest; you tell it like it is, and you never try to bend the truth to favor your own views or bias. While others may wonder at times if there is enough of them to go around, you are confident that you will always be able to satisfy the needs of those around you. This is due, perhaps, to the fact that you put more stock in feelings than in actions — so it is unlikely that you will ever run out of fuel as you do what you can for others. Also born on this date are: Louisa May Alcott, author; Cathy Moriarty, actress; Kim Delaney, actress; Howie Mandel, comedian and TV host; Chuck Mangione, musician; C.S. Lewis, author; Busby Berkeley, choreographer. 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 30 SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Honesty is the best policy, but that doesn’t mean it will come easily to you today. There may be some tricky issues to discuss. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — A good friend is on your mind, and it’s a good day to reach out and get in touch. You can make progress, but a rekindling may be impossible. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You may require

help rearranging your schedule today in the wake of a development that you only partially anticipated. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You can connect with someone whose help will prove instrumental as you attempt something others have avoided doing altogether. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You’re not likely to get the same results today even though what you are doing and the way you are doing it are the same as yesterday. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You feel as though you are “coming into your own.” It’s a good day to make plans — and you mustn’t be afraid of surprising those around you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You’ll want to keep an accurate record of what happens today, as you are likely going to be called upon to provide the official report. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Luck is a factor, but you can offset any negative situation with your keen instincts and certain abilities you’ve cultivated just in case. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You may be trying to overreach, overstep or overstate in some way today. It’s best to take a moderate approach at this time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You can show others how to do something without giving explicit instructions. Demonstration can be a valuable tool; make use of it! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You’ll enjoy the fruits of your labors very quickly today — provided that you stay focused on what you’ve done and what you hope to gain. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Why not show off a little today? You have what it takes to impress those around you, and the opportunity to shine may prove unmistakable.
