HUDSON — To some New York legislators, there is an evident disconnect between rural, upstate communities and the federal government. U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, D-19, and U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., hope to bridge the gap with new proposed legislation they announced Monday.

The Rebuild Rural America Act proposes an overhaul of the current federal funding model with a $50 billion,

multiyear federal grant solely for rural communities across the country. The grant would address complex rural issues ranging from rural broadband to aging infrastructure to child care.

“Our rural communities have too often been on the sidelines, missing critical investment needs that have been persistent for way too long,” Delgado said at a press conference at Hudson Hall.

“This bill gives rural communities the funding flexibility and technical assistance to

help do what they know will assist their towns.”

Delgado and Gillibrand both said the current complex, bureaucratic system that requires excessive time, energy, expert staff and finances to apply for and continue receiving grants has put rural communities without sufficient resources at a disadvantage.

In addition, federal grants are too narrowly defined and inflexible, they said. The Rebuild Rural America Act would even See FUNDING A8

What would you do to address this issue if elected?

We as a community need to get our arms around the broadband/ cell issue. We are appreciative of the Mark Vian efforts made to date but still have roads that don’t have access to broadband. I believe the solution absolutely has to be done at the town level and will focus my efforts on that challenge in my next term. We need to access funding at the municipal level which I will spearhead getting the appropriate data on where we need help and then work with the private sector to ensure we have a business interested in working with us.

For the past four years, I’ve led a diverse town board that has worked together to close that gap by investing our time and money in projects that improve life for all of us. We’re nearing completion of the long-awaited sewer project in the commercial corridor through Jefferson Heights and Leeds that will enable development of the area at Exit 21.

In Cementon, Leeds, Palenville and Kiskatom, we’re helping to restore our “walkable villages” of Pat mcCulloch the past with new sidewalks and infrastructure. This work needs to continue. We’ve supported smart energy and the greening of Catskill with new solar farms coming on line.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday morning officially overturned a ruling that had called for nearly three dozen congressional and legislative districts in Michigan to be redrawn because they unfairly helped one political party.

The decision — which vacated an earlier ruling made by a three-judge panel by the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati — had been widely expected since the Supreme Court decided in June that it would allow state courts to decide questions about political boundary lines rather than ruling on them itself.

Rare and endangered whale shark spotted off Florida coast

By Richard Tribou Orlando Sentinel (TNS) Bigger than Jaws, but not nearly as dangerous, the largest fish in the sea, a whale shark, was spotted off the Florida coast.

The endangered species of shark that can normally grow to more than 40 feet does is not normally seen in Florida, staying mainly in more tropical waters closer to the equator, but has been spotted all the way up to New York on occasion, according to the Florida Museum of Natural History.

Still, the sighting by a group on board a fishing charter out of Palm Beach County spotted the spotted shark and posted an image to the company’s Facebook page on Sunday.

“Whale shark!! Amazing!

Let’s go fishing!!” reads the post from Blue Heron Fishing that sails out of Riviera Beach.

Krzysztof Odziomek/Dreamstime/TNS

View of a whale shark from Maldives, in the Indian Ocean.

The whale shark is a plankton-feeding shark, so not dangerous to humans like its tinier cousins like great white sharks.

“Generally considered harmless. However, there have been a few cases of

whale sharks butting sportfishing boats, possibly after being provoked,” according to a page about the sharks from the Florida Museum of Natural History. “Usually the sharks are more at risk from being struck accidentally by

vessels whilst basking or feeding on the surface.”

The whale sharks are classified as endangered internationally as they are often hunted by commercial fisheries.

“Although the worldwide population is unknown, the reduction in sightings has placed them in a vulnerable situation,” reads a post on sharks-world.com that cited estimates of 7,100 whale sharks in the ocean as of 2016.

Warren’s education plan promises billions for low-income schools Dana Goldstein and Thomas Kaplan The New York Times News Service

Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts had released dozens of policy plans before tackling K-12 education, making her the last leading Democratic primary contender to do so.

But on Monday, the candidate who speaks frequently about her time as a publicschool teacher offered her long-awaited proposal: a characteristically dense white paper that promises to quadruple federal funding for schools that serve low-income students, and to pump tens of billions of new dollars per year into desegregation, special education, bilingual programs and mental health support, while increasing federal oversight of racial and gender discrimination in schools.

The plan would be paid for by Warren’s signature wealth tax on net worth over $50 million.

To encourage states to spend more on low-income students,

those that fund poor and rich schools more equally would be awarded new federal dollars.

And it proposes a mix of housing and educational strategies to racially integrate schools, such as inclusive zoning to make it easier to build affordable housing in areas with quality schools, and magnet schools to draw students outside their neighborhoods.

Many of these policies enjoy wide support among Democrats. But the Warren campaign also chose a clear side in the party’s long-running education war by vowing to end “high-stakes testing” and federal funding for opening new charter schools, and to ban for-profit charters, which make up about 15% of the sector.

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont issued a similar proposal on charters in May. Charter schools are publicly funded but privately managed, and most are not unionized.

Like Sanders, Warren offers little to the bipartisan group of

school reformers who fought, under Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush, .

In his own education plan, former Vice President Joe Biden proposed tripling federal funding for low-income schools and, like Warren and Sanders, supported bringing health services into schools.

Democrats for Education Reform, a group that supports charters and tougher accountability for teachers and schools, has met with most of the leading candidates. Charles Barone, the group’s chief policy officer, said that while he welcomed big new investments in education, including in teacher pay, he was disappointed that the

3 charged in separate burglaries

By Amanda Purcell Columbia-Greene Media

VALATIE — Police are seeking the public’s help in wrapping up investigations of several burglaries in Columbia County.

The Columbia County Sheriff’s Office and state police announced multiple arrests Thursday in separate burglary incidents at a cafe in Valatie and a home in Kinderhook.

James H. Smith, 48, of Hudson, was arrested and charged at 10:42 p.m. Oct. 14 with thirddegree burglary, a class D felony, and fourth-degree criminal mischief and petty larceny, both class A misdemeanors, according to a statement from Columbia County Sheriff David

Bartlett.

The arrest comes after the sheriff’s investigative branch has been looking into multiple burglaries at businesses over the past two months in different parts of the county.

Special details were conducted by police in an effort to catch the person responsible for several reported burglaries.

While conducting one of these details at about 10 p.m. Monday, investigators discovered a burglary that had just occurred Chris’ Cafe at 1048 Kinderhook St. in Valatie.

Using the vehicle type and a description of a suspect, investigators pulled over Smith in a vehicle on Route 9H in the town of Kinderhook, police

said. Evidence recovered from inside the car pointed to Smith as the person who allegedly committed the burglary earlier that night.

While he was in police custody, Smith admitted his involvement in the burglary at the Valatie restaurant.

Additional charges are possible in this case. Meanwhile, Smith was sent to the Columbia County Jail without bail after his arraignment by Kinderhook Town Judge David Dellehunt in Kinderhook Town Court.

An investigation into the other reported burglaries is continuing. Investigators are asking anyone with information related to other possible burglaries to contact the Sheriff’s

Office Criminal Investigative Branch at 518-828-4316, Senior Investigator Kevin Skype or Investigator Kris Bauhoff.

On Wednesday, Brendan Crotty, 30, and Brittany H. Hevessy, 30, both of Valatie, were charged with second-degree burglary, a class C felony, and third-degree criminal possession of stolen property, a class E felony. Crotty also was charged with fourth-degree grand larceny, a class E felony, according to state police.

On Oct. 2, troopers responded to Hudson Street in the village of Kinderhook for a report of a possible burglary of a person’s home.

Hevessy and Crotty illegally entered the victim’s residence

and stole several credit cards, state police said. The pair then purchased numerous items at several Walmart locations with the stolen credit cards in Greenport in Columbia County and in Rensselaer County.

Hevessy and Crotty were arraigned in Greenport Town Court and sent to the Columbia County Jail without bail. They are due back in court Monday at 3:30 p.m.

Investigating for the Sheriff’s Office into the Valatie burglary were Senior Investigators Kevin Skype, Mark Dunspaugh and William Foster; Investigato’s Patrick Logue, Reagan Anderson and Kris Bauhoff; and deputies Joseph Bruno and Jerald Rowell.

When it comes to Trump, Republicans’ silence is not golden

By Jennifer Rubin (c) 2019, The Washington Post

OUR VIEW

Twin Counties stiffed on body-camera aid Thirteen counties across New York state will share in more than $1 million to fund police body-worn cameras, Attorney General Letitia James announced Friday. It is worth noting that none of the 13 counties are named Greene or Columbia.

Yes, it’s mainly about helping urban areas deal with urban crime and about the cost of supporting city police departments. But it’s also about the accountability of police forces and about police departments that want to build public trust. That’s as true in rural areas like ours

as it is in cities like Rochester and Syracuse.

Body-worn cameras can be used for other purposes, too.

On June 24, Hudson Police Chief L. Edward Moore said his department could soon become the first full-time law enforcement agency in Columbia County to be equipped with body-worn cameras.

The department this summer was drafting a policy on how and when officers should use the body cameras.

A year earlier, Moore told the city Common Council that his department

planned to use the footage recorded by the cameras as evidence in prosecutions, thereby potentially saving the city money in the event of lawsuits.

It was shortsighted of the attorney general to cut Columbia and Greene counties out of the body-camera funding. The two largest municipalities, Hudson and Catskill, are small, and their police forces are small. So a small share of total funding would not be out of the question. In rural areas, every dollar counts, and our police forces could use the help.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The last day we will publish letters to the editor focusing on local elections will be Oct. 25 in the Register-Star and The Daily Mail due to early voting beginning Oct. 26.

The Daily Mail welcomes letters to the editor. All letters must contain a full name, full address and a daytime telephone number. Names will be published, but phone numbers will not be divulged.

Letters of less than 400 words are more likely to be published quickly. The newspaper reserves the right to edit letters for length, clarity and content.

Letters should be exclusive to this publication, not duplicates of those sent to other persons, agencies

or publications. Writers are ordinarily limited to one letter every 30 days.

Republican displays of independence and integrity are rare in the Trump era. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, provided one when he blasted President Donald Trump’s decision-making on Syria on the Senate floor on Thursday.

“The ceasefire does not change the fact that America has abandoned an ally,” Romney said. “Adding insult to dishonor, the Administration speaks cavalierly, even flippantly — even as our ally has suffered death and casualty, their homes have been burned, and their families have been torn apart. We know the truth about our Kurd allies. They lost 11,000 combatants in our joint effort to defeat ISIS. We dropped bombs from the air and provided intelligence and logistics behind the lines. The Kurds lost thousands of lives.”

He blasted Trump: “What we have done to the Kurds will stand as a blood stain in the annals of American history.” He cautioned, “There are broad strategic implications of our decision as well.

Iranian and Russian interests in the Middle East have been advanced by our decision. Are we so weak, and so inept diplomatically that Turkey forced the hand of the United States of America? Turkey? I believe that it is imperative that public hearings are held to answer these question, and I hope the Senate is able to conduct those hearings next week.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., provided his own stinging critique of these developments but oddly left Trump out of it entirely. How does one express such disdain for Trump’s

inanity while pretending as if the policy descended from the heavens rather than from the lips of an erratic, ethically deficient and unfit leader? You’d think the leader of half of an equal branch of government would have a little more spine.

Alas, silence in public and grumbling in private have become the standard response for many Republicans. The Washington Post reported: “In interviews with more than 20 GOP lawmakers and congressional aides in the past 48 hours, many said they were repulsed by Trump’s decision to host an international summit at his own resort and incensed by acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney’s admission — later withdrawn — that U.S. aid to Ukraine was withheld for political reasons.

Others expressed anger over the president’s abandonment of Kurdish allies in Syria. ...

“A few Republicans are starting to say they flat-out won’t do it anymore — particularly the president’s choice of his Trump National Doral Miami golf resort for next year’s Group of Seven summit of world leaders, a selection that will benefit him financially.”

Saturday night, Trump abandoned his Doral gambit.

But what of Trump’s other efforts to direct business to his other resorts? Lawmakers could go on the record and specifically pass legislation barring such self-dealing.

Don’t hold your breath.

Many Americans are exasperated that these lawmakers remain so silent in public, so unwilling to state obvious truths. Rep. Francis Rooney, R-Fla., who openly mulled impeachment, is the exception, not the rule. Before Trump

abandoned the idea of bringing the Group of Seven to his Doral Miami resort, Florida Republican Sens. Rick Scott and Marco Rubio actually celebrated the self-dealing, because it was to take place in their own state. The spinelessness is matched only by the lack of any moral core or sense of greater obligation to the country.

The Post reports that, “Republicans believe that Trump has made it harder for them to help him politically survive impeachment and win re-election.” Impeachment, however, is not self-executing.

It only becomes harder for Trump to survive impeachment if they stand up, denounce his conduct and vote to impeach and remove. Otherwise they remain as culpable as he is for the destruction of ethical standards and the rule of law.

Republicans who have figured out Trump’s action are indefensible must openly declare their sentiments and urge his resignation. They need to explain to Americans’ the seriousness of Trump’s offenses and the danger in allowing him to continue in office. If Trump won’t go voluntarily, they should proceed with bipartisan impeachment. In the meantime, Republicans should join Democrats in blocking Trump’s stomach-turning financial corruption and begin public hearings on the Syria debacle.

We’ve passed the time when Republicans can run from the press and constituents. Silence is assent, not an act of defiance.

Trump’s Cabinet meeting devolves into 71 minutes of gripes and grievances

By Alexa Díaz and Eli Stokols Los Angeles Times (TNS)

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump, trying to dig out from two new political holes of his own making on top of the expanding House impeachment inquiry, held forth for 71 minutes Monday during what was ostensibly a Cabinet meeting but ended up being a familiar torrent of grievance, defensiveness and bold statements about his expansive view of his own powers.

After reversing on his plan to hold the next G-7 summit at his Doral, Fla., golf resort, Trump dismissed criticism that he was profiting off his presidency.

“The Democrats went crazy,” Trump said, commenting on criticism that he was using the presidency to enrich himself. “You don’t think I get enough promotion? I get more promotion than every human being that has ever lived. I don’t need promotion.

It would have been the greatest G-7 ever.

“You people with this phony Emoluments Clause,” Trump said, commenting on the clause in the Constitution that bars federal officials from taking “emoluments,” or forms of payment or profit, from any “king, prince, or foreign state” as an ethics guideline.

The president repeated his

claim that he had lost billions in dollars by becoming president, particularly in the hospitality sector, and asserted that holding the G-7 event at Doral would have saved the country money.

“I’m making a big difference for the country,” Trump said. “So whether I lost $2 billion, $5 billion, more or less, it doesn’t make any difference

to me. I don’t care. If you’re rich, it doesn’t matter. I’m doing this for the country.” (c)2019 Los Angeles Times

Facebook identifies Iranian, Russian foreign influence campaigns

By Eric Newcomer and Kurt Wagner Bloomberg News (TNS) NEW YORK — Facebook Inc. discovered four separate misinformation networks — three tied to Iran and one to Russia — that the social network said it shut down as part of an ongoing effort to counter “foreign influence campaigns.”

Facebook said that the “coordinated inauthentic behavior” took aim at the U.S., North Africa and Latin America and included “proactive work ahead of the U.S. elections.” The company said it shared the findings with “law enforcement and industry partners.”

In a blog post Monday, the company also disclosed some adjustments to its policies meant to combat foreign influence and manipulation.

Facebook will now identify posts from state-controlled media, provide more information about the country of origin for Facebook pages, and help further secure political candidates’ Facebook pages.

Following questions about its ability to identify and fight disinformation and influence campaigns on its platforms during the 2016 campaign, the social media company has been at the center of attention

ahead of the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Facebook has gone to great lengths to tell voters and lawmakers that it’s taking misinformation more seriously — something it did ahead of the 2018 U.S. midterms as well.

But the company has already encountered harsh criticism, particularly around political advertising. Facebook’s policy is that it won’t fact-check posts from politicians, including ads, which has led to complaints from Democratic candidates such as Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden.

Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg said last

week that he doesn’t believe it’s Facebook’s role to make decisions about posts from politicians.

“I don’t think most people want to live in a world where you can only post things that tech companies judge to be 100% true,” he said Thursday during a speech at Georgetown University. “People should be able to see for themselves what politicians are saying.” (c)2019 Bloomberg News Visit Bloomberg News at www. bloomberg.com Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Basic information about breast cancer From the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Cancer Control and Prevention

Cancer is a disease in which cells in the body grow out of control. Except for skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States. Deaths from breast cancer have declined over time, but remain the second leading cause of cancer death among women overall and the leading cause of cancer death among Hispanic women.

Each year in the United States, about 245,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in women and about 2,200 in

men. About 41,000 women and 460 men in the U.S. die each year from breast cancer.

Over the last decade, the rate of getting breast cancer has not changed for women overall, but the rate has increased for black women and Asian and Pacific Islander women.

Black women have a higher rate of death from breast cancer than white women.

WHAT IS BREAST CANCER? Breast cancer is a disease in which cells in the breast grow out of control. There are different kinds of breast cancer.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF BREAST CANCER?

Different people have different symptoms of breast cancer. Some people do not have symptoms at all. See a list of possible symptoms.

WHAT ARE THE RISK FACTORS FOR BREAST CANCER? Studies have shown that your risk for breast cancer is due to a combination of factors. The main factors that influence your risk include being a woman and getting older.

WHAT CAN I DO TO REDUCE MY RISK OF BREAST CANCER? Many factors over the course of a lifetime can

What is breast cancer?

From the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Cancer Control and Prevention

Breast cancer is a disease in which cells in the breast grow out of control. There are different kinds of breast cancer.

The kind of breast cancer depends on which cells in the breast turn into cancer.

Breast cancer can begin in different parts of the breast.

A breast is made up of three main parts: lobules, ducts, and connective tissue. The lobules are the glands that produce milk. The ducts are tubes that carry milk to the nipple.

The connective tissue (which consists of fibrous and fatty tissue) surrounds and holds

everything together. Most breast cancers begin in the ducts or lobules.

Breast cancer can spread outside the breast through blood vessels and lymph vessels. When breast cancer spreads to other parts of the body, it is said to have metastasized.

Kinds of Breast Cancer The most common kinds of breast cancer are: n Invasive ductal carcinoma. The cancer cells grow outside the ducts into other parts of the breast tissue. Invasive cancer cells can also spread, or metastasize, to other parts of the body. n Invasive

lobular carcinoma. Cancer cells spread from the lobules to the breast tissues that are close by. These invasive cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body.

There are several other less common kinds of breast cancer, such as Paget’s disease,External medullary, mucinous, and inflammatory breast cancer.

External Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a breast disease that may lead to breast cancer. The cancer cells are only in the lining of the ducts, and have not spread to other tissues in the breast.

What is a mammogram?

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY MAMMOGRAM IS NORMAL?

From Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Cancer Control and Prevention

Continue to get mammograms according to recommended time intervals. Mammograms work best when they can be compared with previous ones. This allows the radiologist to compare them to look for changes in your breasts.

Regular mammograms are the best tests doctors have to find breast cancer early.

A mammogram is an X-ray picture of the breast. Doctors use a mammogram to look for early signs of breast cancer.

Regular mammograms are the best tests doctors have to find breast cancer early, sometimes up to three years before it can be felt.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY MAMMOGRAM IS ABNORMAL?

HOW IS A MAMMOGRAM DONE? You will stand in front of a special X-ray machine. A technologist will place your breast on a clear plastic plate. Another plate will firmly press your breast from above. The plates will flatten the breast, holding it still while the X-ray is being taken. You will feel some pressure. The steps are repeated to make a side view of the breast.

The other breast will be Xrayed in the same way. You will then wait while the technologist checks the four X-rays to make sure the pictures do not need to be re-done. Keep in mind that the technologist cannot tell you the results of your mammogram. Each woman’s mammogram may look a little different because all breasts are a little different.

WHAT DOES HAVING A MAMMOGRAM FEEL LIKE? Having a mammogram is uncomfortable for most women. Some women find it painful. A mammogram takes only a few moments, though, and the discomfort is over soon. What you feel depends on the skill of the technologist, the size of your breasts, and how much they need to be pressed. Your breasts may be more sensitive if you are about to get or have your period. A doctor with special training, called a radiologist, will read

the mammogram. He or she will look at the X-ray for early signs of breast cancer or other problems.

TIPS FOR GETTING A MAMMOGRAM n Try not to have your mammogram the week before you get your period or during your period. Your breasts may be tender or swollen then. n On the day of your mammogram, don’t wear deodorant, perfume, or powder. These products can show up as white spots on the X-ray. n Some women prefer to wear a top with a skirt or pants, instead of a dress. You will need to undress from your waist up for the mammogram.

WHEN WILL I GET THE RESULTS OF MY MAMMOGRAM? You will usually get the results within a few weeks, although it depends on the facility. A radiologist reads your mammogram and then reports the results to you and your doctor. If there is a concern, you will hear from the mammography facility earlier. Contact your health care provider or the mammography facility if you do not receive a report of your results within 30 days.

An abnormal mammogram does not always mean that there is cancer. But you will need to have additional mammograms, tests, or exams before the doctor can tell for sure.

You may also be referred to a breast specialist or a surgeon. It does not necessarily mean you have cancer or need surgery.

These doctors are experts in diagnosing breast problems.

Doctors will do follow-up tests to diagnose breast cancer or to find that there is no cancer.

WHERE CAN I GET A MAMMOGRAM AND WHO CAN I TALK TO IF I HAVE QUESTIONS? n If you have a regular doc-

tor, talk to him or her. n Call the National Cancer Institute’s Cancer Information ServiceExternal (CIS) at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-4226237). TTY: 1-800-332-8615. n For Medicare information, you can call 1-800 MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) or visit The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.External CDC’s National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program works with health departments and other groups to provide low-cost or free mammograms to women who qualify.

means checking a woman’s breasts for cancer before there are signs or symptoms of the disease. All women need to be informed by their health care provider about the best screening options for them.

WHO IS AT HIGH RISK FOR BREAST CANCER?

WHAT IS A MAMMOGRAM?

If you have a family history of breast cancer or inherited changes in your BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, you may have a high risk of getting breast cancer.

A mammogram is an X-ray picture of the breast. Doctors use a mammogram to look for early signs of breast cancer.

Regular mammograms are the best tests doctors have to find breast cancer early.

WHAT IS BREAST CANCER SCREENING?

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS AND RISKS OF SCREENING?

Breast cancer screening

Every screening test has

benefits and risks, which is why it’s important to talk to your doctor before getting any screening test, like a mammogram.

HOW IS BREAST CANCER DIAGNOSED? Doctors often use additional tests to find or diagnose breast cancer. They may refer women to a breast specialist or a surgeon.

What are the symptoms of breast cancer?

From the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Cancer Control and Prevention

Breast pain can be a symptom of cancer. If you have any symptoms that worry you, be sure to see your doctor right away.

Different people have different symptoms of breast cancer. Some people do not have any signs or symptoms at all.

Some warning signs of breast cancer are: n New lump in the breast or underarm (armpit). n Thickening or swelling of part of the breast. n Irritation or dimpling of breast skin. n Redness or flaky skin in the nipple area or the breast. n Pulling in of the nipple or pain in the nipple area.

n Nipple discharge other than breast milk, including blood. n Any change in the size or the shape of the breast. n Pain in any area of the breast.

Keep in mind that these symptoms can happen with other conditions that are not cancer.

If you have any signs or symptoms that worry you, be sure to see your doctor right away.

What Is a Normal Breast?

No breast is typical. What is normal for you may not be normal for another woman.

Most women say their breasts feel lumpy or uneven. The way your breasts look and feel can be affected by getting your period, having children,

losing or gaining weight, and taking certain medications.

Breasts also tend to change as you age. For more information, see the National Cancer Institute’s Breast Changes and Conditions.External What Do Lumps in My Breast Mean?

Many conditions can cause lumps in the breast, including cancer. But most breast lumps are caused by other medical conditions. The two most common causes of breast lumps are fibrocystic breast condition and cysts.

Fibrocystic condition causes noncancerous changes in the breast that can make them lumpy, tender, and sore.

Cysts are small fluid-filled sacs that can develop in the breast.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October From the World Health Organization

The Breast Cancer Awareness Month, marked in countries across the world every October, helps to increase attention and support for the awareness, early detection and treatment as well as palliative care of this disease.

There are about 1.38 million new cases and 458 000 deaths from breast cancer each year (IARC Globocan, 2008). Breast cancer is by far the most common cancer in women worldwide, both in the developed and developing countries.

In low- and middle-income countries the incidence has been rising up steadily in the last years due to increase in life expectancy, increase urbanization and adoption of western lifestyles.

Currently there is not sufficient knowledge on the causes of breast cancer, therefore, early detection of the disease remains the cornerstone of breast cancer control. When breast cancer is detected early, and if adequate diagnosis and treatment are available, there is a good chance that breast cancer can be cured. If detected late, however, curative treatment is often no longer an option. In such cases, palliative care to relief the suffering of patients and their families is needed.

The majority of deaths (269 000) occur in low- and middleincome countries, where most women with breast cancer are diagnosed in late stages due mainly to lack of awareness on early detection and barriers to health services. Maria’s

story (see below) illustrates this dramatic situation common to thousands of women in resource constrained settings. A situation that can be reverted if adequate public health programmes are put in place.

WHO promotes comprehensive breast cancer control programmes as part of national cancer control plans.

The recommended early detection strategies for low- and middle-income countries are awareness of early signs and symptoms and screening by clinical breast examination in demonstration areas. Mammography screening is very costly and is feasible only in countries with good health infrastructure that can afford a long-term programme.

Economic development and job creation. This is a major concern for the Town of Catskill. The gateway to the Town of Catskill from the New York State Thruway has been in need of improvement for years, as the first impression is not the best. It is extremely important to have a tourist-class hotel, complemented by a highly recognizable chain restaurant. We have been without year-round lodging for years, so many tourists just drive through Catskill or get back on the Thruway.

The development of properties along the Route 23B corridor near Thruway exit 21, including the 60+ acre parcel owned by the IDA, is crucial to job growth and economic expansion.

If you are the incumbent, what are you most proud of accomplishing? If you are not, what are you looking forward to most about serving your town/ city?

We need to improve our only town park, the Ricky Cramer Memorial Field. The maintenance of and investment in the park has been very limited; we can surely do much better. The park has the potential to be a community center for physical activity and community gatherings and serve as a destination for local families. In order to make improvements, I will take a close look at the money currently budgeted for the maintenance of the park. I will encourage community cleanup and workdays, community fundraising and seek grants and monetary support from our much-appreciated community organizations such as Fortnightly Club, which recently added a new playground at the Ricky Cramer Memorial Field.

“I accept full and complete responsibility for my conduct,” Hodge said in a statement. “I have always prided myself on leading by example, and I am ashamed of the decisions I made. I acted out of love for my children, but I know that this explanation for my actions is not an excuse.”

With trials drawing closer and prosecutors warning of new charges, Hodge was among several parents expected to newly plead guilty to using lies and bribery to secure their children’s admission to elite colleges.

Three other parents were expected to plead guilty later in the day.

More than a dozen parents caught up in the scandal, including actress Felicity Huffman, swiftly pleaded guilty months ago in connection with

the scheme that prosecutors revealed in March, which involved cheating on college entrance exams and bribing coaches to designate students as recruits in sports they did not play competitively. But others among the nearly three dozen parents charged, including Hodge, had entered not guilty pleas and appeared headed for trial.

The new wave of guilty pleas reflected what lawyers involved in the

case said was an intense campaign by the U.S. attorney’s office to press the remaining parents to reverse course.

According to several of the lawyers involved in the case, prosecutors gave some parents deadlines of Monday or a few days before to agree to plead guilty, or risk facing a new charge — known as federal programs bribery — that had the potential to bring a longer sentence.

economic growth,” Gillibrand said. “It would encourage rural communities to come together as a region and rebuild their economies.”

There are multiple types of investment that need to be made in rural communities to help them thrive, that the federal government is not designed to comprehensively

address, Gillibrand said. These include main street revitalization, along with rural broadband and outdated infrastructure to stimulate the economy; access to mental health services and investment in rural rehabilitation programs to help combat the opioid crisis; modernizing schools with broadband access and smart

technology; and ensuring rural communities have access to quality child care, health care and long-term care.

“Those are just some really nuts-and-bolts ideas that, frankly, every small community in our state are desperate for,” Gillibrand said. “But I can tell you now, having traveled the country, everyone needs

this. And so I’m very optimistic that with this knowledge I gained over the last year, I can really go to my Republican allies and say, ‘I know why you need this.’”

CRARYVILE — Taconic Hills scored a goal in each half to defeat Ichabod Crane, 2-0, in Friday’s non-league field hockey match.

Kirsten Shumsky scored the Titans’ first goal with 25:30 to go in the first half off an assist from Delana Bonci. Shumsky added an insurance goal with just :01 remaining in the contest.

Taconic Hills took 24 shots on goal and had 20 penalty corners. Ichabod Crane had three shots and didn’t have a penalty corner.

Titans goalkeeper Sydney Kiernan stopped three shots. the Riders’ C. White turned away 24 shots.

“I was happy with our performance, especially

considering how cold it was,” Titans’ coach Angela Webster said. “We passed well and put a lot of pressure on their defense.

Ichabod’s goalie played an amazing game. She made it very tough to score.”

Taconic Hills is 8-2 in the Mid-Hudson Athletic League and 12-2 overall and will compete in the MHAL playoffs that start today.

“For the second year in Section IX, our team has qualified for the MHAL league playoffs,” Webster said. “We are seeded third in the league playoffs and will face Rondout Valley at Rondout on Tuesday at 4:15. In the regular season, we lost 1 – 0 to Rondout and played a very See ROUNDUP B6

Opportunistic Bulldogs take down Bluehawks

By Tim Martin Columbia-Greene Media

HUDSON — CobleskillRichmondville took advantage of numerous Hudson miscues to post a 32-6 victory in Friday’s Class B Reinfurt Division game on Homecoming night at the Bluehawks Sports Complex.

Hudson turned the ball over five times and had a punt blocked and returned for a touchdown in the setback. The victory allowed CobleskillRichmondville (4-3) to nail down the No. 3 seed in the Class B playoffs, while Hudson (3-4) is a No. 4 seed.

“Can’t turn the ball over five time to a good team like Cobleskill,” Hudson coach John Davi said. “They’re good, but minus a blocked punt and five turnovers this is a different ballgame in my eyes.

“We came out in the first quarter and made some crucial stops in the red zone, we just didn’t tackle this edwards kid like we should have and we made some pretty serious mistakes, fumbling the ball.

We had a couple of good drives going, but then we would fumble the ball.”

After a scoreless first quarter, Cobleskill-Richmondville got on the board when quarterback Landon Moore scored

on a three-yard run. Keagan Adriance’s point after kick made it 7-0 with 4:56 to go in the first half.

Hudson couldn’t move the ball on its next possession and was forced to punt. The

Bulldogs’ Hunter Edwards blocked Brandon Alexander’s punt, Camden Oliver scooped the ball up at the five and took it in for a touchdown. The point after try failed, but Cobleskill took a 13-0 edge into

the lockerroom at halftime.

Neither team scored again until late in the third quarter when with his team backed up deep in its own territory, Edwards, a Section II sprint champion, took a handoff, broke a tackle and raced 96 yards for a touchdown.

The Bulldogs added another score on the final play of the third quarter when Moore hooked up with Oliver on a 25-yard pass play.

After Adriance scored on a nine-yard run with 6:44 remaining in the contest, Hudson put together its only scoring drive of the game, capped off by a one-yard run by Caleb Romano. A 66-yard run by Deandre Smith set up the touchdown.

Smith, a freshman, had his second straight 100-yard rushing performance, finishing with 130 yards on just five carries. Zyonn Clanton had 28 yards on nine carries and Romano 14 yards and a TD on three carries.

Romano completed 5 of 12 passes for 51 yards. Smith had three catches for 30 yards.

Yankees are left to wonder how to clear that final hurdle James Wagner The New York Times News Service

HOUSTON — The visitor’s clubhouse at Minute Maid Park just before midnight here Saturday was so quiet that sniffles and hugs made up the only sounds.

Still in uniform, Aaron Judge stood frozen at his locker. Masahiro Tanaka leaned his head against a wall and stared into space. Zack Britton put his arm around Tommy Kahnle to console him. Dellin Betances hobbled out of the room on crutches. With tears in his eyes, New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone went around the room embracing his players, some of whom he would never again see on his team.

The Yankees’ 2019 season

closed shut after a 6-4 loss to the Houston Astros in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series — another season gone by without a World Series title, let alone an appearance in the final round.

“It’s a failure,” Judge, the right fielder, said, adding later: “When it comes down to it, it’s black or white: Either you did your job and got where you wanted, or you didn’t. We weren’t able to.”

So a winter of self-examination beckons for the Yankees and their front office. How can they close the gap on the Astros, who have toppled them twice in the ALCS over the past three years? Who of this group that won 103 regular-season games will be back?

TROY TAORMINA/USA TODAY

New York Yankees relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman (54) prepares to deliver a pitch during the ninth inning against the Houston Astros in game six of the 2019 ALCS at Minute Maid Park.

The most immediate decisions involve closer Aroldis

Chapman, who gave up the series-ending home run to Jose

Altuve on Saturday night, and key free agents such as shortstop Didi Gregorius, outfielder Brett Gardner and Betances, a reliever.

Chapman had another stellar season — 2.21 ERA, 37 saves, his sixth career All-Star selection. Although he has said he would like to finish his career with the Yankees, Chapman maintains the right to opt out of the remaining two years and nearly $34 million on his contract. He has shown a unique ability to maintain his velocity and strikeout power over his 10-year career. But given the demand for proven closers, could he secure a bigger payday even though he will be 32 next season?

The Yankees have an inhouse replacement already in

Britton, a former closer. But with Betances departing and relievers’ performances so fickle, could the Yankees also withstand the loss of Chapman? One solution could be flipping their bullpen-centric formula and building a stronger starting rotation instead.

“I still think starting pitching is what’s going to get you a World Series championship at the end of the day,” said Britton, one of several relievers who was worn down by the end of the ALCS. The Yankees’ strategy worked during the regular season — outscoring teams with their potent offense so that their best relievers could secure the wins — but was strained in October.

Saquon Barkley says he ‘felt fine’ in first game back from high ankle sprain Charlies McDonald New York Daily News

NOAH K. MURRAY/USA TODAY

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur coaches against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

Shurmur’s headscratching decisions cost Giants against Cardinals Bob Glauber Newsday

NEW YORK — This one’s on Pat Shurmur.

All of it.

His team was humbled at rainswept MetLife Stadium, 27-21, by the Arizona Cardinals, rookie quarterback Kyler Murray and rookie coach Kliff Kingsbury. But it was the Giants’ coach who needs to take the blame for a loss that dropped them to 2-5 and has them teetering on the edge of slipping out of a realistic chance at a playoff run.

Not that Shurmur’s team even deserves a shot at the postseason, not with rookie quarterback Daniel Jones already showing signs of regression after a splendid debut just five weeks ago. But Shurmur’s shoddy work down the stretch on Sunday offered more disturbing evidence that he simply isn’t putting his team in position to win.

Forget the fact that the Giants came out flat after what should have been a refreshing 10-day break after losing to the Patriots in Foxboro. The Cardinals surged to a 17-0 lead by the early part of the second quarter, prompting the Giants to fight from behind the rest of the way.

But the far more consequential coaching decisions came when it mattered most, when the Giants needed a steadying hand and clear-thinking presence on the sideline. They had battled back to within a field goal at 24-21 with 8:13 to play as Saquon Barkley scored a sevenyard touchdown run to cap an excellent 82-yard drive.

Shurmur’s first mystifying misstep came with 4:29 left in regulation, just before the Cardinals were about to punt from their own 46. Shurmur took his first timeout there, a headscratching decision that began the second-guessing. Why burn a timeout then? Because he didn’t want to take 45 seconds off the clock, he said.

Hmmm.

It got worse from there.

On the Giants’ next possession, they were faced with a third-and-18 from their own 30 with 3:11 to play — still plenty of time left. Shurmur called a draw play to Barkley, which went for just three yards. But rather than do the sensible thing and punt on fourth and 15 from the 33, Shurmur decided to go for it. Jones fumbled at his own 23 after being sacked on a cornerback blitz by Patrick Peterson.

“I had planned to go for it, and we just didn’t execute the play as well as we liked,” Shurmur said of the Barkley draw. “I had made the decision at that point I was going to go for it.”

Barkley played the good soldier and defended the

sequence.

“I think it’s a great call,” he said. “We knew we were going to be in two-down territory. It’s third-and-18. They played it well. But if they drop back like most of the teams do on thirdand-18, I think you’ve got one of your best playmakers on the field with the ball in his hands.”

Now, we’re all for a coach being aggressive when the situation presents itself, but this simply wasn’t one of those situations. This was the time to play it smart, punt the ball and let your defense try and stop the Cardinals — which they’d been doing for most of the second half. That’s why burning the timeout earlier was a mistake.

Save it for when you need it on a defensive stop — or if and when you get the back on offense.

It’s basic situational football, and Shurmur needed to play it there.

He didn’t.

Shurmur refused to secondguess himself, blaming poor execution — and not play-calling — for the Giants’ failures. He would have been a lot better off falling on his sword and saying he was at fault. He did no such thing.

“We had the ball with a chance to score a touchdown to win the game,” Shurmur said.

“That’s how it played out.”

But had he made the more sensible decision to punt the ball and the Giants stopped the Cardinals, then the Giants would have had far better field position with a chance to at least tie the game with a late field goal or else win it with a touchdown. Instead, after the Cardinals had made it a sixpoint game by kicking a field goal after the Jones fumble, the Giants’ only chance was to score a touchdown.

They did get the ball back at their own 12 with 2:02 left, but Jones got no further than the 23 and ran out of chances on a desperate incompletion from his end zone on fourth down with 34 seconds left.

Neither Barkley nor any other Giants’ players second-guessed the late moves.

“Look, (Shurmur) is the leader of this organization, and I’m not going to question anything he does,” veteran receiver Golden Tate said. “He has his reasons and my job is to run the plays that he calls. I’m not the head coach. Maybe one day I might be one, but his decision, that’s the decision that he thought was going to give us a chance and we ran it.”

It was the wrong decision at the wrong time, and the Giants paid for it. Shurmur can’t afford many more bad calls, because his team has come perilously close to play — and coaching — its way out of contention.

NEW YORK — Giants running back Saquon Barkley made his long-awaited return from a high ankle sprain and turned in a mixed performance for the Giants, who lost 27-21 to the Arizona Cardinals.

Barkley finished the day with 72 yards on 18 carries, and a touchdown which came in the fourth quarter to cut the lead to 24-21. He also had eight receiving yards on three receptions. At one point in the third quarter, Cardinals linebacker Haason Reddick and defensive lineman Zach Kerr fell on Barkley’s ankle and reaggravated the injury, but the running back was able to walk off the field under his own power. He came back into the game just a few plays later.

“Someone just landed on it.” Barkley said. “That’s kind of the healing process with this thing. I just went out there real quick, got it taped up, and came back to play.”

“The cutting was fine, I broke some long ones today.”

Barkley said. “Made some people miss. I think I did fine.

I felt fine, I know I felt fine.”

Barkley claimed that he felt like he was at full strength during the game.

Head coach Pat Shurmur said he wasn’t quite sure what the injury was when he was asked about the ankle in his press conference after the game. “I don’t know that. He came off the field and then he

was back on.” Shurmur said.

“So I don’t have many details on what happened there.”

Late in the fourth quarter, Barkley was given the ball in a precarious situation where it probably would’ve made more sense for the Giants to throw the ball. It was thirdand-18 and the Giants had the ball on their own 30-yard line down 24-21 with 3:11 left in the game. Despite having all the signs in the world to throw the ball, Barkley was given the ball on a draw, which only ended up going for three yards. On the next play, quarterback Daniel Jones was strip sacked by cornerback Patrick

Peterson and the Cardinals took over on Giants’ 17-yard line.

Barkley didn’t seem to mind the decision to run the ball at that point in the game.

“I mean, I think it was a great call.” Barkley told reporters after the game. “We knew were going to be in two down territory, it’s third-and-18.

They played it well. But if they drop back like most teams do on third-and-18, I think you’ve got one of your best playmakers on the field with the ball in his hands and being able to get a one on one.

We got four yards on it and still got a positive play.”

Barkley did have a bit more success running the ball in the second half of the game than the first half, even with the injury, but he said he didn’t really care because it wasn’t enough for them to win the game. His final stat line would have looked better if he didn’t have a 32-yard run brought back by a holding penalty on left guard Will Hernandez in the second quarter.

His message for the team as they drop their third straight game and find themselves at 2-5?

“Get ready for Detroit.”

Hamlin wins in Kansas; Elliott earns spot in Round of 8 Field Level Media

Denny Hamlin has been driving full time in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series since 2006. He has finished third in the season standings twice and runnerup on one occasion. He has made 501 starts, but the series’ biggest trophy has remained beyond his grasp.

On Sunday at Kansas Speedway, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver’s quest to nab that first career championship got a nice kick forward when he won the Hollywood Casino 400.

The victory in Kansas City, Kan. – which came in double overtime in the playoffs cutoff race – moved Hamlin into the Round of Eight, which begins next weekend in Martinsville, Va. “This is a great feeling,” said Hamlin, who was perfect in two late restarts. “That car was awesome. ... Can’t wait to get to Martinsville.”

It was the fifth victory of the season and the 36th career win for the 2019 Daytona 500 winner.

Finishing second was fan favorite Chase Elliott, who secured the final berth in the Round of Eight after starting the day 22 points out of the final third-round berth.

Kyle Busch, Hamlin’s teammate, finished third. His older brother, Kurt Busch, was fourth.

William Byron, Elliott’s teammate at Hendrick Motorsports, finished fifth.

ADAM HAGY/USA TODAY

NASCAR Cup Series driver Denny Hamlin (11) holds up the trophy after winning the Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway.

The big-picture story Sunday was the competition to advance to the Round of Eight.

Kyle Larson and Ryan Blaney began the day already locked into the Round of Eight by virtue of their Round-of-12 victories at Dover and Talladega, respectively. Two other drivers – Hamlin and Martin Truex Jr. – virtually were assured of advancing to the third round because of their driver point totals.

Joining those four drivers and Elliott as a result of the Kansas race are Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick (ninth place on Sunday) and reigning champion Joey Logano (17th place at Kansas).

Round-of-12 drivers who failed to transfer to round three were Brad Keselowski (19th place on Sunday), William Byron (fifth), Alex Bowman (11th) and Clint Bowyer (eighth).

NASCAR notebook: Keselowski suffers crushing elimination at Kansas Field Level Media

KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Brad Keselowski thought his playoff run would continue when he came to pit road for fresh tires before the first of two overtimes in Sunday’s Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway.

Keselowski would have been fine, but he had a wreck out of Turn 4 in the first overtime and caused a caution with eventual race winner Denny Hamlin less than a car-length from the white flag and an official race.

Keselowski restarted 13th for the second overtime but got bottled up on in the middle of the pack, brushed the backstretch wall on the final lap and faded to 19th

at the finish. Chase Elliott, who restarted third and finished second, edged Keselowski for the final berth in the Round of 8 of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs by a scant three points.

“We didn’t make it,” Keselowski said succinctly after the race. “I pushed as hard as I knew how and didn’t quite do good enough on the last restart, and that was it.

“We clawed as hard as we could, and there were times it looked like we were going to be fine and times it didn’t.

In the end it didn’t work out. ... I needed to get up to the top of the track on the last restart. I couldn’t get up. I got sandwiched. Somebody

went three-wide and got me in the middle of (Turn) 4 – just all bad.”

Despite three wins this season, Keselowski, the 2012 series champion, won’t be eligible for a second title this year.

“Yeah, I did think we were OK (after the pit stop),” said Keselowski, who has a single-minded purpose after his elimination.

“Go win Martinsville,” Keselowski said.

STAGE POINTS HELP LOGANO Thanks to a brilliant pit call by crew chief Todd Gordon – staying out on old tires in the first stage of Sunday’s Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway, Joey

Logano won the first stage of the race and collected 10 points for his effort.

In the second stage, he earned four points for a seventh-place finish – and put them to good use after contact from Ty Dillon’s Chevrolet sent him spinning through the infield grass near the end of the first lap of overtime.

Logano finished 17th, but buoyed by the stage points, he reached the Round of 8 in the playoffs with nine points to spare over Team Penske teammate Brad Keselowski, who was the first driver eliminated.

Byron is still looking for his first victory at the Cup level.

Plus-ones are all the rage in today’s NBA Dan Woike Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — The way the NBA’s summer went, the 2019-20 season looked like it would play out almost biblically.

Two by two, they’ll march toward the end goal.

In Los Angeles, there will be the one-browed big man and the King in one Staples Center locker room and a pair of rangy two-way wings in the other. In Houston, it’ll be the patient scorer with an offensive arsenal as full as his beard with the pedal-to-the-floor triple-double machine. Eventually in Brooklyn, the enigmatic guard and the tweet-at-his-haters forward will set upon their quest.

And with it, a new era in the NBA will be ushered in with pairs of stars leading their teams with the time of “super teams” and “Big 3s” shoved into the NBA’s storage locker.

Gone is Boston with Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett. See ya, Miami with LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade. Peace, Warriors of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant.

The NBA spent the summer downsizing, with super teams giving way to super duos.

It’s been the story of the offseason, players going out on their own to orchestrate these couplings, demanding trades to make them realities.

But is it really here for good, a new way executives will view team-building?

Doubtful.

Nearly every NBA scout and executive who spoke about the topic had the same reaction: These teams all have two stars because they couldn’t have three ... or four ... or five.

“I think to make the argument the league is shifting toward two (stars) and putting two (stars) as a priority in front of three, I’ve yet to see a team turn down having a great third player,” Warriors general manager Bob Myers said. “It’s not something that would make a lot of sense.”

If the two-star model isn’t going to revolutionize front-office thinking, it will define the upcoming season.

Anthony Davis forced a trade out of New Orleans to pair up with LeBron James and the Lakers. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving spurned the Knicks to play for the Nets in Brooklyn. Kawhi Leonard wanted to be a Clipper but only if Paul George was on board. With George out of Oklahoma City, James Harden and the Rockets decided to flip his old dance partner, Chris Paul, for a new one, Russell Westbrook.

And that all happened in less than a month.

A variety of factors pushed the league into this frenzy, executives said. The market was full of talent and desirable destinations had money to spend and assets ready to deal. The Golden State dynasty had just been toppled by Toronto, with injuries and Durant’s expected departure

opening the title field in a way it hadn’t been since 2015 (when the Miami Heat big three disbanded).

Each situation is unique and each will be judged by whether it leads to a championship.

— LeBron James and Anthony Davis A deal six months in the making, the Lakers gave up a haul — almost all of their best young players and almost all of their best draft picks — to push the deal across the finish line. It was a necessity.

By getting the deal done, the Lakers gave James the most talented teammate he’s ever had, a player better than Wade, Bosh or Irving. He’s a perfect pick-and-roll partner for James, and his all-around offensive game is underrated.

He can guard too, which is going to matter for the Lakers.

The plan is for Davis to eventually eclipse James as the focal point of the offense. First, he’ll have to re-sign with the team as a free agent next summer, though things would have to go pretty wrong for him to walk.

Davis wanted to be a Laker and now he is. Why turn your back on that?

— Kawhi Leonard and Paul George One of the questions that general managers have been asking this offseason is a fun one: Would the Clippers have rather just signed Leonard?

On the night they pulled off the biggest acquisitions in franchise history, the Clippers vaulted into instant NBA title contenders by pairing Leonard and George with a team perfectly designed to incorporate a couple of superstars.

But the cost for George was higher than a lot of people around the NBA would’ve been willing to pay — all those picks and a player with as much promise as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

George is regarded as one of the league’s best offensive-defensive talents. The worry is that injuries (the latest surgeries to repair both shoulders) will keep the Clippers from getting a return on their massive investment.

This partnership looks great on paper — two guys who work hard on both ends and fit well with the no-drama culture the Clippers created a year ago.

But if the Clippers are empty-handed in two years when both players can become free agents, the trade’s skeptics will have been proved correct.

— James Harden and Russell Westbrook Of all the high-profile pairings this summer, this one feels like it makes the least sense and could be the most panicked. But like most of Houston’s fatal flaws, it probably won’t show up until the postseason.

Not having to pay Chris Paul a staggering $44 million when he’s 36 years old in 2022 is a big win for the Rockets; having to pay Westbrook $171 million over the next four seasons isn’t as much of a victory.

At his best, Westbrook plays with a gamechanging energy, putting pressure on defenses whenever he touches the ball.

The issue is that when you play alongside Harden, you might not touch the ball that often.

In the regular season, the fix is fairly simple — coach Mike D’Antoni will make sure one of the

two is on the court at all times, giving Houston two of the most difficult players in the NBA for people to defend.

But together, Westbrook’s shooting certainly will be a factor — his career mark from threepoint range is 30.8%.

It’s a fascinating pairing for Houston, which continues to try to find the right pieces to put around Harden. But if it’s not Westbrook, what could possibly be next?

Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving Of the new super duos, Irving and Durant are the only two who signed together in free agency.

They’re also the only pair that won’t play together this season with Durant shutting down any talk of an early return from a torn Achilles tendon.

Maybe more than any of these other basketball couples, Irving and Durant seemed determined to team up, an interesting decision considering their pasts.

They have both had to share the spotlight with mixed results — Irving wanted out of Cleveland after the Cavaliers turned the team over to James upon his return from Miami, and Durant left the Thunder to win and the Warriors to prove that he doesn’t need Golden State to win.

Depending on the basketball people you ask, both personalities can vary from “misunderstood” to “enigmatic” to good old-fashioned “difficult.”

There are questions marks in Brooklyn. Will Durant fully recover from his serious injury? Who will emerge as the team’s dominant force? People around the NBA are eagerly watching because neither seems to enjoy working in the shadows.

There are still teams moving forward with more than two stars.

The healthy Warriors could have a lineup built around Stephen Curry with three former AllStars, while the 76ers will send out three in Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and Al Horford plus Tobias Harris, who just got paid like an All-Star.

Whether it was just perfect timing during a crazy summer or a trend that’s emerging, the best NBA teams, especially in the West, will rely on superstar duos to try to reach the NBA Finals, setting the stage for what people expect to be one of the closest NBA seasons in recent memory.

“What Boston did was special. What Miami did was special. But I think it goes back to you have two guys that are the guys and you have a group around them that supports them,” George said.

“I think it’s a good thing for the league. It changed the league. ... Everyone was looking for a big three and it didn’t work for a lot of teams and now, this is a new dynamic for the new generation of the league.”

The World Series is back in D.C. after 86 years Thomas Boswell The Washington Post

Every October since before Fernando Rodney was born, I have covered the World Series for The Washington Post. Every year, I watched cities have enormous fun as fans’ emotions did cartwheels. I would think of D.C., my hometown, and wonder, “Will we ever have this?”

Until a city with a big league team holds a World Series, it doesn’t really know what it means to have baseball in its city - not fully. The sport returned to Washington in 2005. But only now, with the Nationals playing Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday night in Houston, with Max Scherzer expected to face Gerrit Cole, is the sport in its fullest form finally back.

Some will disagree and cite a need for parades. That’s fine. I’m too pleased to argue. I suspect this World Series, regardless of result, will be our touchstone emotional moment: “Washington, meet baseball.”

Major league baseball was gone from Washington for so long - 33 years - and D.C. had gone without a World Series for so many years before that - 38, that I honestly wondered how many people in the District had any sense of what they were missing. And how excited they would be if they ever

got it.

This is the season - and this October is the month - when we will find out the level of bonding, the level of pentup or never-tapped passion for the sport in the Washington area. For decades, I have been curious to find out what that level is. How can you know until it happens?

If this World Series is as competitive as I think it is going to be - a six- or seven-game affair between two excellent teams, with Houston a deserved but not huge favorite - I doubt D.C. will know what hit it. Oh, so that is what you have been babbling about all these years.

A major league season is a sevenmonth journey. You need the whole experience once - including all of October - for the memory to color your anticipation for every future season.

So much is condensed in so short a time, fortunes swing so fast, that fans feel they are part of “the wave” that every Nationals player now says they are riding.

Consider: In 15 days the Nats had three elimination games, won them all and had four champagne-popping celebrations. That’s a quirk of making the playoffs as a wild card, but it’s as many celebrations as the 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2017 teams, who all won the

National League East, had combined.

Because the Astros won 107 games and won the World Series just two years ago, this World Series may be a short, unpleasant experience for the 93-win Nats. Plenty will predict that.

The Nats have had so many days off (six) that their bats may have gone cold. Meanwhile, the Astros’ rest - two days - and their rotation, with Cole, Justin Verlander and Zack Greinke lined up for the first three games, is ideal. With home-field advantage, the Astros won’t even have to hop on a jet for Game 1.

History also frowns. The Nats can practice those long group hugs because, in a few days, they may need them. Only twice has the World Series been won by a team with a deficit of 14 or more wins in the regular season - the 1954 New York Giants and the 1906 Chicago White Sox. Perhaps Washington will have to be satisfied with the memories from a team that will be loved for decades for what it already has done, bringing the World Series to D.C. for the first time in 86 years after rallying from 12 games under .500 in late May. Pulling off a stunt like that will get you remembered.

However, be wise and be warned: Prepare for perspiration, palpitations

and some joyous pirouettes, too. Fill that medicine cabinet.

Since league championship series began in 1969, the team with the better regular season mark is 23-24 in the World Series. The “better” team has lost more. Since 1969, 15 World Series looked lopsided because one team had an edge of 10 or more regular season wins - as is the case now. The “better” team has a 7-8 record in those World Series.

One key factor may be pressure.

The Astros have more experience handling it. But the Nats carry little weight of external expectation. High demands are the enemy of “fun” and free-flowing play. Can the Nats truly find that freewheeling place? While every Nats player passionately wants to win and probably expects to win because they have played so well for so long, no one outside the team demands much of them at all.

Washington is going to love them and talk about them for decades, whether they win four games from Houston or none. If a lesser team emerged from the AL, that’s a different tone. But the Nats, who already have beaten the 106-win Los Angeles Dodgers, must face the Astros, too.

Tall task.

Inside the Nats’ clubhouse, where

only one player (reliever Hunter Strickland) has played on a World Series winner, the attitude will be totally different. Scherzer has been on a ring quest for 14 years and signed with the Nats to improve his chances.

Who is in the Hall of Fame that never won a World Series ring? Ted Williams, Ty Cobb, Ken Griffey Jr., Rod Carew, Ernie Banks, Willie McCovey, Harmon Killebrew, Carl Yastrzemski, Juan Marichal, Tony Gwynn, Ryne Sandberg and many more. Trust me, players know this.

You get a chance, you don’t say, “Oh, we’re underdogs.” You say, “Let’s take the fight to these guys till the last pitch. This is our shot.”

In analyzing this World Series, are we looking at the full-season Astros and Nats or those two teams as constituted now? Players say, “Now.” My view (it’s more fun this way): Since May 23, the Astros, including the postseason, are 81-41 and have scored 691 runs with a plus-182 run differential. The Nats are 82-40 and have scored 700 runs with a plus-203 run differential. I don’t see one exceptional, versatile, mash-or-manufacture offense; I see two multifaceted mirror images.

“When we play without mistakes we play well. When we make mistakes we don’t play well,” Davi said. “You chalk some of it up to youth and inexperience. We had some problems handling them up front and, again, that’s young.

“We’re young up front and we’re young all around. We can’t chalk everything up to young, though. Against good football teams you can’t turn the ball over five times.”

Yankees From B1

Other decisions will be coming soon: Five days after the World Series ends is the deadline to extend one-year, $17.8 million qualifying offers for 2020. That seems too steep a price for any of the Yankees’ key free agents.

Gardner, a team leader who has spent his entire career with the Yankees, could be kept at a different rate. Gardner, 36, earned $9.5 million this season, hit a career-best 28 homers and still played stout defense in left and center field.

outfielder and will be seven years younger than Gardner next season, fill that role?

After Saturday’s game, Gardner said he hadn’t put much thought into his future but hoped to keep playing.

“He’s still got a lot left in the tank,” Judge said. “I hope he comes back.”

The chances of a return are cloudier for Betances and Gregorius. Betances, who will be 32 next season, had the largest workload of any reliever in baseball from 2014 to 2018.

His injury plagued 2019 season limited him to one game.

An Achilles tear, which Betances was rehabilitating in hopes of avoiding surgery, was the latest culprit.

Granted, Gregorius missed two months of the season

recovering from Tommy John surgery, but he regressed at the plate and in the field. He finished the regular season hitting .238 with 16 home runs, 61 RBIs and a .718 onbase plus slugging percentage.

His postseason was uneven.

After Saturday’s game, Gregorius, who will be 30 next season, said he hoped his future was with the Yankees.

Gleyber Torres, 22, one of the Yankees’ stars this season, proved to be a serviceable shortstop in Gregorius’ absence. Torres could handle the position and allow D.J. LeMahieu to return to his longtime position, second base, where he won several awards for his defense.

Injuries were a major theme in 2019, and their aftereffect

will be felt next season. Can center fielder Aaron Hicks, who unexpectedly returned for the playoffs from an injury in his throwing elbow, avoid Tommy John surgery?

Will Miguel Andujar, who had season-ending surgery in his throwing shoulder in May, return to form and be installed back at third base? Or was the breakout season of Gio Urshela, a better defender than Andujar, more than a flash in the pan? After a second half of the season compromised by a lingering sports hernia injury, will Luke Voit be next season’s first baseman?

Perhaps the biggest healthrelated question involves outfielder Giancarlo Stanton. Will he stay healthy in 2020 and produce at the level

the Yankees expected when they took on the remaining $265 million and 10 years of his massive contract? In 2018, Stanton hit 38 homers, drove in 100 RBIs and played through a hamstring injury to log 158 games. This season, calf, biceps, shoulder, knee and quadriceps injuries limited him to 23 games, including the playoffs.

Trading for Stanton originally seemed like excess for the Yankees, who were adding an MVP-caliber hitter to a potent offense. It has netted much less since. Because the Yankees vowed to stay under certain luxury tax thresholds, their commitments to Stanton partly inhibited their ability to pursue starting rotation upgrades.

Will more substantial changes be coming to the Yankees? Would that allow them to plug their holes, most notably, once again, in the starting rotation? Could they make a run at the upcoming Astros free agent Gerrit Cole, a Yankees fan whom the team twice failed to acquire? Or will the Yankees be leery once again of market prices for top starters? Would other possible free-agent starters, from Stephen Strasburg to Madison Bumgarner to Hyun-Jin Ryu, suffice?

“I know this organization is in a really good place,” LeMahieu said. “And I think you saw that with the depth this year.”

Pregnant bride-to-be wants no alcoholic policy My friend “Nan” is planning her wedding and asked if I, along with our friends, would be bridesmaids. Fast-forward a few months: The bride-to-be is now pregnant. We’re having our first get-together as a bridal party, and she wants us to serve only nonalcoholic “mocktails” for our girls’ night in. I asked the DEAR ABBY maid of honor if we could have the option of alcohol, and she said no because that’s what the bride wants.

Is it rude to drink in front of a pregnant bride? Obviously, I will honor Nan’s wishes, but I’d like a second opinion. Should this no-alcohol policy be in effect for all pre-wedding events (shower, bachelorette party, etc.)? I feel we’re all adults and should be able to make our own choices. It’s not as if we’re going to get wasted at these things. Your thoughts, please?

Perplexed Bridesmaid

JEANNE PHILLIPS

In most cases, it is not considered rude to consume alcohol in front of someone who is abstaining, although many people choose to refrain, too. In this case, the bride would not have specified that she wanted no alcohol served if she was comfortable with her bridal party drinking when she couldn’t join in. Her wishes should take precedence.

Dear Abby, My husband is disabled and hasn’t worked in nearly 20 years. I have been the sole support of our family all this time.

My issue is, my husband seems to have serious problems with people he perceives as rich. The fact that some people have more money than we do rankles him no end. It has reached the point where the kids and I are really disturbed by his vitriol. In his eyes, no rich person can be a good person, and most of them don’t deserve what they

Family Circus

have. What can I do?

Weary Of Listening In Maine Your husband may be venting his frustration at his inability to work and provide for the family, and misdirecting his anger toward people he perceives as rich. Has he always been this way, or is this recent? If it’s recent, his physician may want to see and evaluate him. If it’s not, then it may be time to point out that money, while it can make the gears of life mesh more smoothly, is no guarantee of happiness, and nobody — regardless of income — has everything. Then tell him to stop.

Dear Abby, My wife has a terrible habit of always being early — whether it’s for a party, football game, picnic, reunion, etc. It has reached a point where friends and family no longer tell her the correct time they want us to arrive because they don’t want her there early. Her family started it, and friends are following suit. Now she’s upset because when she arrives she isn’t the first, but everybody else is happy because she’s arriving when she is supposed to.

Abby, most hosts don’t want guests showing up early because they’re still preparing, and early arrivals get in the way. Please advise my wife to respect that!

Early Bird Gets The Scorn If, having been given the wrong time to arrive by multiple hosts, it hasn’t dawned on your wife that what she’s doing hasn’t been appreciated, she isn’t going to heed anything that I could write. POLITE people show up on time.

If they arrive at the location early, they do what they need to do to “waste” time until the appointed hour. In her zeal to make an entrance, she is being rude and intrusive.

The link between Lyme disease and arthritis What is known about arthritis later in life for someone who had early treatment for Lyme disease? I had it as a teenager in the late 1980s and was told by my doctor that arthritis could be an issue later. I was treated with an IV antibiotic, which I believe was the go-to treatment at the time.

TO YOUR

Lyme disease, a bacterial inGOOD HEALTH fection transmitted by the deer tick, causes arthritis in about half of people with untreated Lyme disease. Among those who are recognized and treated early, joint and muscle pains are common, but inflammation of the joints, along with the possibility of joint damage, is unusual. So, if you were recognized and treated early, the likelihood of developing any joint problems should be no different from your risk if you had never had Lyme disease.

Lyme arthritis most commonly affects one knee, but it can affect other joints, such as the shoulder, ankle, elbow or jaw (TMJ). Eleven percent of untreated Lyme disease patients developed permanent joint damage, but only 2% developed permanent joint disability. This study comes from a time when Lyme disease frequently went unnoticed and untreated.

DR. KEITH ROACH

Diagnosing Lyme disease can be a challenge, especially when a rash has gone unnoticed or was never present at all. A doctor needs vigilance and appropriate laboratory testing to find undiagnosed Lyme disease. Conjunctivitis, damage to the nerves of the face or eyes, Lyme meningitis and abnormal electrocardiograms (including heart block) all are occasional manifestations of Lyme disease and should prompt a clinician to consider the diagnosis.

Early treatment of Lyme disease was, and is still, most commonly oral doxycycline.

I read that people are not being paid for donating blood anymore. Is this true?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — What you want may not be entirely accessible to you today, but with a little work, you can surely see it move closer than ever before.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You want very badly to make your mark in some way, but there are many bad ideas floating around out there that you want to avoid!

Zits

Yes. Blood donation is not compensated. Plasma donation, on the other hand, often is compensated. Plasma, which contains the proteins in the blood, can be highly purified so that there is no risk of infection, as opposed to blood — every precaution is taken to reduce infection, but it can never be brought to zero.

Horoscope

By Stella Wilder Born today, you can be on the one hand quite positive, jovial, lighthearted and ebullient; on the other, however, you can be dark and brooding, and even quite negative in your outlook and behavior. Fortunately, you are keenly aware of these two conflicting sides of your personality, and you always do whatever you can to promote and publicize the former while minimizing and obscuring the latter. When you feel that you are sinking into one of your cloudy, gloomy moods, you tend to withdraw from society and spend a good deal of time on your own; you don’t want to poison others with your own toxicity, surely.

Because there is a part of you that you prefer to keep hidden from view, it may become somewhat habitual for you at times to be more secretive than you have to be. You must never do anything to hurt other people.

Also born on this date are: Annette Funicello, actress; Catherine Deneuve, actress; Jeff Goldblum, actor; Tony Roberts, actor; Timothy Leary, professor; Brian Boitano, Olympic figure skater; Karl Jansky, physicist.

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.

Hagar the Horrible

Baby Blues CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You may have room to do more today than usual. A daring move on your part can put others in their place — but remember, it’s all in fun!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You may require careful guidance today as you explore territory that is foreign to you. You won’t need this kind of help very much longer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You want to gather only the best teammates today — which means that there are some past associates who won’t be part of today’s endeavors.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You may have to settle for something that is not quite right today, if only to ensure that someone else gets what he or she really wants.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You must pay close attention to the clock today, and let no seconds tick by without being of some use. Time wasted is time lost.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Others may finally see what it is you’ve been trying to convince them of for quite some time. The pace picks up as a result, and progress is made.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You’ll want to be competitive today, but you’ll also want to avoid a head-to-head contest with someone who may be better equipped.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — If you’re at a safe distance from an apparent danger, you can study it and maintain some measure of safety. Move closer at your own risk, however.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Sorting through things that just will not cooperate with you may prove frustrating today, but a certain degree of organization is necessary.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — What you’ve heard through the grapevine recently may be confirmed today — in real time and with solid evidence. This changes everything.
