CATSKILL — An unattended death that took place Tuesday at Catskill Motor Lodge is being treated as a natural death, Greene County Coroner Richard Vigilo said Wednesday.

The death of the unidentified man was likely the result of a medical event, but an investigation is continuing, state police said Wednesday.

Greene County 911 received a report of an

unresponsive man in a room at the motel Tuesday, according to state police.

State police have not released the identity of the man.

The man, whose age was given as 34, lived at the motel for about 11 years, Vigilo said.

“Ambulance personnel and patrols responded, locating a 34-year-old male subject who was deceased,” according to state police.

“Following the investigation

at the scene, it has been preliminarily determined that the death was caused by a medical event.”

Homicide and suicide were ruled out and there was no evidence of a drug overdose.

An autopsy scheduled for Wednesday morning was not performed, Vigilo said.

CATSKILL — The former Catskill Game Farm opened its doors Tuesday night to show off its newest addition — The Long Neck Inn. The inn features four different suites, each with its own animal theme. Formerly home to April, the iconic giraffe that achieved worldwide attention with her pregnancy, who now resides in Harpursville, it took two years to transform the giraffe house into a stylish inn.

Although owners Cathy and Ben Ballone have been accepting reservations for six weeks, the Long Neck Inn held its official ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday. Cathy Ballone described the evening as momentous.

“It’s been seven years since we purchased

the property,” Ballone said. “It’s nice to show what we can do with it and we plan to grow from here.”

Before the switch to hospitality, the 150-acre site was home to more than 2,000 animals from 1933 until the business closed in 2006. Besides the inn, the Ballones have offered self-guided tours since 2013 and have four campsites, equipped with wood stove, grill, picnic table and a canvas tent with a queen-sized bed on a pressure-treated platform for guests.

The Ballones’ long-term plans are to have a campground and RV park on the property, she said.

The question: To divide or not to divide?

By Massarah Mikati Columbia-Greene Media

Movements to divide New York state have been gaining steam among disgruntled legislators and their constituents after a 2019 legislative session that pushed out multiple progressive bills.

The Divide New York State Caucus, which proposes splitting New York into three autonomous regions, has been having multiple meetings in various counties each month since the bill was introduced by Assemblyman David DiPietro, R-147, in April. The goal is to garner enough support from local municipalities so that legislators are obligated to co-sponsor the bill, per

the Municipal Home Rule Law. Under the plan, New York City would be its own autonomous region, Westchester, Long Island and Rock-

region. Each would have a regional governor, assembly and senate.

“To divide the state is basically economics,” said John Bergener, chair-

“To divide the state is basically economics. The overregulation of densely populated cities being spread statewide has killed the upstate economy.”

— JOHN BERGENER, CHAIRMAN OF THE CAUCUS land would make up their own region and the rest of upstate New York would constitute the third autonomous

man of the caucus. “The overregulation of densely populated cities being spread statewide has killed the upstate

economy.”

Bergener stipulated that the plan draws boundaries to ensure that each region would be able to support itself financially.

In debates over whether to split the state, opponents of secession often point to data that shows that a vast majority of the state’s income tax revenue comes from New York City, along with Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk counties. Upstate counties, on the other hand, contribute 18 percent in total, according to data from the state Department of Budget analyzed by See DIVIDE A2

Jersey, both have memories of visiting the Game Farm in their youth.

“The history [of the property] is amazing,” Ballone said.

The couple saw a huge level of potential in the property, she said.

Greene County Chamber of Commerce President Jeff Friedman was impressed with the outcome.

“This is a very historical and important property in the community,” Friedman said.

“Ben and Cathy have done an incredible job reviving the property. It’s an incredible addition to the tourism and hospitality industry here.”

Catskill Town Supervisor Doreen Davis said she is pleased to see the revitalization of the local tourist gem.

“I think it’s another sign of resurgence in Catskill, of us reinventing ourselves to thrive in the present by visiting our past,” she said. “Even though

I lived almost two hours north of here growing up, we were visitors on school trips, as was my own daughter. As a town it would be great to see that level of interest renewed.”

Guests can stay in the 5,500-square-foot former giraffe house for $188 to $275 per night depending on which room they select.

The Elephant and Zebra rooms have balconies that overlooks what once was the elk pen, according to the inn’s website.

The Giraffe Room is the most luxurious, featuring a three-person jacuzzi. The room overlooks the former giraffe pen.

The Rhino Room also overlooks the giraffe pen and has a balcony.

The Menagerie Room overlooks a rock outcropping.

Three of the rooms are petfriendly and all rooms have access to a communal kitchen, wet bar, common area and pond room. Guests will have access to explore the abandoned zoo during daylight hours, according to the site.

- provided it’s focused on disabling adversaries’ infrastructure to prevent future attacks rather than scaring the adversary into not hacking us at all.

The Russia strike, for example, successfully disabled a notorious Russian troll farm, the Internet Research Agency,on Election Day 2018, but there’s no evidence it has dissuaded Moscow from launching cyberattacks since then.

They warn the public wouldn’t support a long and damaging cyberwar, though, often out of fears the United States, which is far more dependent on the internet than its adversaries, would suffer more during a drawn-out conflict.

In many cases, the approximately 1,000 people they surveyed were unwilling to endorse digital retaliation even against a cyberattack that caused as much damage as a conventional attack, such as an airstrike.

“Deterrence hinges on public resolve for overwhelming uses of force and a willingness to escalate, which appears lacking in the cyber domain,” they write.

The United States has historically been wary of punching back in cyberspace, fearing that a digital conflict could rapidly escalate to rockets and bombs. But those concerns may be overblown.

A pair of recent studies has found it’s extremely rare for nations to ratchet up a cyber conflict, let alone escalate it to a conventional military exchange, and that the U.S. public may put extra pressure on leaders not to let a cyber conflict get out of hand.

“The emerging consensus among researchers is that cyberattacks aren’t unusually escalatory. If anything, the opposite is true,” writes Jacquelyn Schneider, a researcher at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, who was a co-author on one of the studies and detailed both of them in a Washington Post analysis. The other study came from the libertarian-leaning Cato Institute.

The findings could be a boon for the Trump administration, which has announced a muscular new hacking back

strategy in an effort to cow digital adversaries, such as Russia and China. That has included digital strikes against Russia to prevent election interference and against an Iranian computer system used to plan attacks on oil tankers. The administration is reportedly considering another round of digital retaliation to punish Iran for a drone strike against Saudi oil facilities.

That’s a major shift from the Obama administration, which preferred responding to adversary cyberattacks with just sanctions, indictments and other tools that didn’t risk sparking a tit-for-tat digital conflict.

But there’s also some bad news for the Trump team: The Cato study didn’t find much evidence that hacking back does anything to make adversaries stop hacking you in the first place, which could undermine the administration’s main goal for the program.

“Attacks do not beget attacks, nor do they deter them,” the authors Brandon Valeriano and Benjamin Jensen wrote.

Schneider and her co-author, Cornell University professor Sarah Kreps, are more bullish on the Trump strategy

Politifact in 2018.

Assemblyman Stephen Hawley, R-139, who is also in support of dividing New York state, argues that downstate municipalities also cost the state much more than those upstate. But a 2011 report from the Rockefeller Institute found that downstate pays more in taxes than it gets back, and another 2016 Politifact report found that Western New York counties receive a larger percentage share of state spending than its contribution in taxes.

While the Divide New York State Caucus argues economics as the reason to split the state, other upstate legislators

Commander Michael Drake said.

said it’s more about culture.

Hawley sponsored a bill in the assembly this year that would add a non-binding resolution on November ballots asking voters if they support a division of New York into two separate states. The 13-year legislator argues culture as a main cause to separate the state.

“Our constituencies are so very different, our ways of living, our family values, our livelihoods,” Hawley said, comparing upstate and downstate.

“We need to open our eyes and think about the entire state of New York.”

Hawley pointed to multiple progressive legislations as examples of upstate needs being overpowered by downstate politics, such as the Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act, which packaged wide-ranging

gun regulations, Reproductive Health Act, which codified federal abortion rights into state law, and Farm Labor Rights Act, which ensures farm workers get paid overtime after 60 hours and get one day off each week.

“I don’t think it’s a Republican-Democrat thing at all,” Hawley said. “I think it’s citizens of the state, it depends what values they have and what businesses drive their economies.”

Voting records show a majority of legislators who voted in favor of the aforementioned legislations were from downstate areas, but a handful do represent upstate districts and were Democrats.

Others said such proposals are unrealistic and unnecessarily divisive.

“There is pandering and then there is the Godzilla of

pandering,” Rich Azzopardi, senior advisor to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, said in a statement.

“This divisive stunt isn’t worth the paper it is printed on.”

State Sen. Jen Metzger, D-42, Assemblywoman Didi Barrett, D-106, and DiPietro did not respond to requests for comment.

OUR VIEW

E-cig ban is meant to keep children healthy Dr. Howard Zucker, commissioner of the state Health Department, recommended a ban on menthol-flavored electronic cigarettes. Gov. Andrew Cuomo accepted the recommendation. And when two leading vaping companies and the Vaping Technology Association, a pro-e-cigarette group, attempted to sue the state to block the ban, Judge Gerald Connolly of the state Supreme Court in Albany County denied a request by the vaping industry for a temporary restraining order on the emergency ban on the sale of flavored e-cigarettes.

Much to applaud, it’s true. But now there are stirrings about imposing a ban on all cigarettes.

Bet nobody saw that coming.

That sounds like a refreshing idea. But do we now assume that government will meddle in issues of personal choice and personal responsibility? We don’t want government in our bedrooms. Why would we want it in our shirt pockets, wallets or purses?

Think about it. In many states smoking has been banned in other public facilities and private businesses for years. You can no longer smoke in restaurants, movie theaters, banks, schools, office buildings, concert halls and many, many more venues. We don’t need government to prohibit smoking. Places where the customers’ right to breathe fresh, clean air have already done the job.

By the way, all cigarettes come with clear and legible warnings.

The ban on flavored e-cigarettes, including the menthol variety, should focus on keeping young people from getting into a nasty habit, no matter how sweet it tastes.

This is a good time to draw a line between protecting the health and safety of children and an adult’s right to his or her own choices. A total ban on all cigarettes isn’t necessary. Government cannot and should not interfere in personal responsibility.

ANOTHER VIEW

Trump used his office for political gain; Barr appears to be using his authority to help him (c) 2019,The Washington Post

It’s been established that President Donald Trump used his official powers to press a foreign government for help with his reelection.

Now, it appears that Attorney General William Barr might also be using the authority of his office for Trump’s political gain.

The Washington Post’s Devlin Barrett, Shane Harris and Matt Zapotosky report that Barr has met with foreign intelligence officials abroad to advance an investigation on the origins of the probe into Russia’s 2016 election-year meddling. The Russia inquiry culminated in March with a damning report from special counsel Robert Mueller on Trump and his circle. The president wants the Justice Department’s latest investigation to prove that the Russia investigation was an anti-Trump conspiracy from the start.

Reports on the attorney general’s trips have not provided a definitive account of what he said in his overseas meetings, including in Italy and Britain. But they range from Barr providing introductions between foreign officials and John Durham, the U.S. attorney heading the investigation, to the attorney general saying he believed that the origins of the Russia probe were corrupt.

Barr also encouraged Trump to make phone calls to foreign leaders, including Australia’s prime minister, urging cooperation.

This story is not as alarming as the news that Trump secretly pressed Ukraine to produce dirt on the Biden family. The Justice Department’s investigation into the Russia probe’s origins was announced publicly, and Durham is a credible, career prosecutor who, one might presume, could conduct a fair investigation. It might even prove worthwhile if it can put to rest groundless conspiracy

theories peddled by Trump and his followers — such as that Ukraine, rather than Russia, hacked the Democratic National Committee.

But these presumptions come into doubt when the attorney general and president are so personally involved. Durham’s reputation is no comfort if Barr is directing the investigation. The extremely unusual diversion of the attorney general’s precious time to a single investigation, let alone one on the margins of legitimacy, makes it only the more suspect.

His involvement and that of Trump expresses a priority that the facts on the public record do not warrant - and, therefore, implies the desire for a conclusion those facts do not suggest.

The Russia probe’s origins have already been examined by Mueller, congressional investigators and an aggressive, independent press. It is undeniable that Russia intervened in the 2016 election to help Trump, that Russian cutouts interacted with people in Trump’s circle and that multiple Trump confidantes lied to investigators. Trump nevertheless insists, without evidence, that the Russia probe was a “hoax” and has all but ordered his attorney general to find evidence that casts doubt on these conclusions.

It would be easier to trust Barr’s intentions if he had not burned his credibility early on in his tenure, pre-spinning the release of Mueller’s Russia investigation report with a dishonest summary of its findings. He then accused the U.S. intelligence community of “spying” on the Trump campaign. Barr has used the imprimatur of his office to promote Trump’s favored narratives. Now, he appears to be using the investigative powers of the Justice Department to advance that agenda no matter how baseless.

Jamal Khashoggi is dead, but his political vision lives on

By Ishaan Tharoor (c) 2019,The Washington Post ·

A year ago, Jamal Khashoggi — a Saudi commentator and dissident living in de facto exile - entered his nation’s consulate in Istanbul, never to return.

The months since Khashoggi’s abduction and brutal killing by a Saudi hit squad have brought great uproar but insufficient justice. A handful of Saudi officials were indicted and punished by authorities in Riyadh for orchestrating a supposedly rogue operation. But U.S. intelligence officials believe Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had direct knowledge of the mission targeting Khashoggi, a Washington Post contributor. The Saudi royal denies the allegation and, with the support of President Trump and his allies, has been mostly rehabilitated on the world stage.

But the memory of Khashoggi’s life and work endures. To honor the anniversary of his chilling death, my colleagues at The Post’s Opinions section commissioned pieces on Khashoggi, his political views and the regime that sought to snuff them out. They underscore the legacy of a writer whose quest for freedom, democracy and tolerance didn’t end in the torture chamber of a consulate.

Khashoggi was hardly a fringe figure. He was born into privilege and first became known to Western journalists as a prominent Saudi author and editor with connections to the kingdom’s princely elites.

He was an insider, not a dissident.

Over time, though, he came to espouse beliefs at odds with the court in Riyadh and those in most of the Arab world’s other monarchies: an embrace of political liberalization, a hope for the opening of space for democratic rights and an interest in the ideas of political Islam. The upheavals of the prodemocracy uprisings in 2011 - and the crackdowns and conflicts that followed — created a new generation of Arab exiles.

Khashoggi’s relative fame in Saudi Arabia and desire for reform ultimately led him to join their ranks.

“Jamal gave up on his government’s will to change later than many; but his insider knowledge of the Saudi regime made clear that speaking up required getting out,” wrote Tamara Cofman Wittes, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a former State Department official.

Khashoggi’s semiregular column at The Post, which often took aim at Mohammed, made him a target. He opposed the Saudi-led intervention in

Yemen, a pet project of the crown prince. And, while not rejecting outright the ambitious royal’s plans to modernize and reform Saudi Arabia, Khashoggi stood against the crown prince’s persecution of critics at home and attacks on Islamist political parties across the region.

“The Saudi monarchy might claim to be forward-thinking with its Vision 2030 modernization plan and efforts to court Western leaders,” wrote Hala Al-Dosari, a Saudi dissident and writer, who pointed also to the arrest of a number of female civil society activists under the crown prince’s watch. “In reality, however, it has simply institutionalized a centuries-old monarchic legacy of violence, disenfranchisement and repression. Jamal’s brutal murder and the torture of female activists have brought this all to light.”

But Khashoggi wasn’t exactly a revolutionary. “For the dissident Arab communities in exile and in the region, he offered an integral element that had been missing since the fall of the Arab Spring,” noted Mohamed Soltan, an Egyptian American activist. “Unlike many other dissidents, Jamal had experience championing reforms from within circles of power.

He spoke often of the ways good people brought about positive change from within faulty systems.”

Khashoggi’s friends overseas, including those who disagreed with his Islamist sympathies, welcomed his rigorous support for democracy and pluralism, for the building of a tolerant political space in Arab societies that has proved all too elusive in recent history.

“Unless Islamists and liberals are able to agree on the relationship between majority rule and individual rights, we will never be able to coexist peacefully — and ultimately will achieve neither majority rule nor individual rights,” wrote Ezzedine C. Fishere, a visiting professor at Dartmouth College. “Dictators will be able to continue justifying their authoritarianism by arguing it is needed to maintain peace between two camps who can’t agree on the fundamentals of peaceful coexistence. And they will be right.”

In his gentle ripostes to the ruling authorities of his own country, Khashoggi hoped to prove the dictators wrong. Even in death, he has. In various Arab countries this year, people power movements have once more threatened the authoritarian status quo, no matter the powerful forces arrayed against them.

“The Saudis and the UAE

gave billions to prop up Sudan’s military regime in the hope it would withstand a mass protest movement, only to see the generals strike a deal for a three-year transition to democracy,” noted a Post editorial.

“Algeria, too, has seen the rise of a powerful democracy movement, and Tunisia is holding a robustly competitive presidential election. Recently, protests erupted in Egypt, where another military regime has received billions in Saudi subsidies, after a dissident businessman’s message went viral.”

Yet that’s a cold comfort.

That Khashoggi, a figure with international clout and friends in high places, could be killed with such brazenness horrified onlookers and exiled dissidents elsewhere. Iyad el-Baghdadi, another Arab activist in exile, sees Riyadh’s silencing of Khashoggi as part of a broader squeezing of dissent, one that has extended deep into online networks as well.

“When Jamal chose exile in the summer of 2017, it was a few weeks ahead of a wave of mass arrests that targeted dissidents and intellectuals,” wrote el-Baghdadi. “There was one thing that many of the victims had in common: large social media followings. More than targeting the dissidents themselves, the arrests were part of a plan to degrade and conquer the last remaining open, inclusive Arab public sphere.”

Nor has it helped that Western governments, especially the Trump administration, have placed their strategic interests in allying with Saudi Arabia ahead of a principled moral stand about the kingdom’s behavior. Khashoggi’s memory, argue his friends and supporters, will be a perennial thorn in the side of regional realpolitik.

“Jamal, both in his long struggle to bring the perfidies of the Saudi regime to light and in the memory of his horrific death, will always symbolize the perseverance of the deep rebellion among Muslims against their dynastic dictators,” wrote Turkish columnist Asli Aydintasbas. “Western leaders might continue to choose to work with these despots. But Jamal’s example will always remind us that one day, they will have to deal with the restless reality of the region’s people, too. The dictators might protect Western interests, but they cannot rescue the Western soul.”

Amazon fires dropped unexpectedly in September, after spiking over the summer Terrence McCoy The Washington Post

RIO DE JANEIRO - The number of fires in the Amazon rainforest dropped significantly in September, a month when fires typically increase, Brazil’s satellite research agency reported.

The number of fires since the beginning of the year continued to outpace 2018, according to data watched closely by scientists and activists.

Around 20,000 fires burned in September, a 20% drop from September last year, when 24,500 burned, Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research reported. It was a 35% drop from August, when roughly 31,000 fires burned - a nine-year high.

The plunge, which came after a summer of international attention on the fires, and the Brazilian government’s response to them, caught Amazon watchers by surprise. Since measuring began two decades ago, September, the peak of dry season, has almost always been more flammable than August. That history fueled expectations that the problem would only worsen as the dry season deepened.

The overall number of fires in the Amazon biome from January through September was still 43% higher than the same period last year, according to the institute.

Scientists say the Amazon is vital to curbing the destabilizing effects of climate change.

The increase in fires ignited

an extraordinary summer in Brazil. Smoke blanketed faraway cities. A viral campaign broadcast images of the forest in flames. International leaders and celebrities criticized the response of President Jair Bolsonaro.

Bolsonaro ran for office on promises to promote development in the Amazon. He is accused of easing environmental protections, which critics say has encouraged illegal deforestation.

As the fires increased, he accused his critics of lighting them to make him look bad. He rejected a multimillion dollar aid package offered by the Group of Seven as an assault on Brazil’s sovereignty.

Fire is a key tool in the process of deforestation. It is used when the forest is too thick or too remote to knock down with bulldozers. It can also sow nutrients into the ground that can help boost agricultural production.

Analysts blame most of the deforestation on land grabbers burning the forest to clear land for cattle and soy farms.

Many of the fires are small but in a forest ill-equipped to withstand any flame, they can wreak devastating damage.

Scientists worry that increasing rates of deforestation and fire could push the Amazon to a tipping point, at which the ecosystem is knocked off balance and large swaths convert into an arid savanna.

Pompeo confirms he listened to Trump’s call to Ukraine President

By Jason Horowitz and Richard Pérez-Peña c.2019 The New York Times Company

ROME — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo confirmed on Wednesday that he had listened in on President Donald Trump’s telephone conversation with the president of Ukraine — a call that has become the subject of a whistleblower’s complaint and is at the heart of an impeachment inquiry by House Democrats.

“I was on the phone call,” Pompeo said at a news conference in Rome — the first time he has addressed the topic publicly since reports surfaced that he had heard the exchange.

He did not elaborate on the conversation and did not answer a question about whether anything in it had raised a red flag for him.

In the July 25 call, Trump pressed President Volodymyr Zelenskiy of Ukraine to investigate the activities in Ukraine of former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

Zelenskiy thanked Trump for U.S. assistance in defending Ukraine against Russia, and said his country wanted to buy more American weapons. Trump, who days earlier had frozen an aid package for Ukraine, replied, “I would like you to do us a favor though,” and asked for help in investigating the 2016 election.

An anonymous whistleblower within the government filed a complaint in August, citing the call and other factors as information that “the President of the United States is using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 U.S. election.”

The complaint, made public last week, says that White House officials, rather than storing a record of the conversation with Zelenskiy in the usual computer system, attempted to “lock down” information on it, placing it in a more secure system, accessible to fewer people, because

Erin Schaff/The New York Times

FILE— Secretary of State Mike Pompeo looks on at President Donald Trump in the Oval Office of the White House, in Washington, Feb. 20, 2019. Pompeo confirmed on Oct. 2 that he had listened in on Trump’s July telephone conversation with the president of Ukraine — a call that has become the subject of a whistle-blower’s complaint and is at the heart of an impeachment inquiry by House Democrats.

they “understood the gravity of what had transpired in the call.”

Pompeo’s confirmation that he was on the call came as he engages in a fight with Democrats in the House of Representatives who have demanded swift access to State Department officials for interviews as part of the impeachment inquiry.

And it came on a day when Congress may receive new information about the Trump administration’s interactions with Ukraine, from the State Department inspector general, Steve A. Linick, who requested to meet committee staff members on Wednesday.

Pompeo on Wednesday described U.S. policy toward Ukraine as “remarkably consistent,” being focused on addressing “the threat that Russia poses” and attempts at “helping the Ukrainians to get graft out, and corruption outside of their government.”

“Even,” he added, “while all this noise is going on.”

In his request to Zelenskiy, Trump pushed a conspiracy theory that his own staff had repeatedly told him was false — that Ukraine, not Russia, had intervened in the 2016 election and that it had done so on behalf of the Democrats.

In another call, to Prime Minister Scott Morrison of Australia, Trump asked for help discrediting the Mueller investigation into Russia’s election interference.

Trump has repeatedly vented his anger at the impeachment inquiry on Twitter, asking why he was not “entitled to interview” and know the identity of the whistleblower, whose anonymity is protected by law to prevent retaliation.

He has also tweeted that he is the target of an attempted coup and that Rep. Adam B. Schiff, D-Calif., the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, should be arrested.

On Tuesday, Pompeo released a letter that excoriated House Democrats for demanding quick depositions of State Department officials involved in policy toward Ukraine, calling it an “act of intimidation” that did not allow his officials sufficient time to respond.

“What we objected to was the demands that were put that deeply violate fundamental principles of separation of powers,” Pompeo said on Wednesday. “They contacted State Department employees directly, told them not to contact legal counsel at the State Department — at least that’s been reported to us — told them State Department wouldn’t be allowed to be present.”

He said that the department would cooperate with Congress, but that, “we won’t tolerate folks on Capitol Hill bullying and intimidating State Department employees — that’s unacceptable.”

The House postponed the first of the depositions, which it had scheduled for Wednesday.

Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, the chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, accused Pompeo of obstruction.

“In response, Congress may infer from this obstruction that any withheld documents and testimony would reveal information that corroborates the whistle-blower complaint,” Cummings said in a statement.

In response to Pompeo’s letter, he wrote that House Democrats believed Pompeo had an “obvious conflict of interest” because of his presence on Trump’s call with Zelenskiy and that they would not inform Pompeo about other witnesses.

“The committee may infer that he is trying to cover up illicit activity and misconduct, including by the president,” the statement read.

Sanders is hospitalized for heart FUNERAL DIRECTORS procedure and cancels events Sydney Ember and Jonathan Martin The New York Times News Service

Sen. Bernie Sanders was hospitalized and treated for an artery blockage and is canceling his events for the coming days, a campaign official said on Wednesday.

“During a campaign event yesterday evening, Senator Sanders experienced some chest discomfort,” Jeff Weaver, a longtime adviser to Sanders, said in a statement. “Following medical evaluation and testing he was found to have a blockage in one artery and two stents were successfully inserted. Senator Sanders is conversing and in good spirits.

He will be resting up over the

next few days. We are canceling his events and appearances until further notice, and we will continue to provide appropriate updates.”

Sanders, 78, was traveling for a gun forum in Las Vegas that other candidates were also scheduled to attend. He was to travel to California later this week. He is currently recovering in a Las Vegas hospital, the campaign said.

One campaign aide, referring to Sanders, told The New York Times on Wednesday morning: “He feels better than ever because that’s how people feel after they get a stent and there’s more blood flow.”

The onetime captain of his high school track team,

Sanders has tried to project an image of fitness as a candidate.

He pitched in the softball game his campaign staged over the summer on Iowa’s “Field of Dreams” and his aides have released other images of him playing catch or shooting a basketball.

Sanders has not yet released his medical records though he has vowed to do so. During his first presidential run, he released a letter from his doctor declaring that he was in “very good health.”

Not long after news of Sanders’ hospitalization emerged, several of his rivals for the Democratic nomination sent good wishes his way with posts on Twitter.

House Democrats Tell White House Subpoena Is Coming Nicholas Fandos The New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — House Democrats said Wednesday they planned to subpoena the White House by Friday if it did not comply with broad requests for documents related to President Donald Trump’s efforts to pressure Ukraine into investigating Joe Biden and his son, and any attempt by the administration to conceal his actions.

Rep. Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland, chairman of the Oversight and Reform Committee, notified his committee of the impending subpoena on Wednesday. He said the White House had thus far ignored Congress’ voluntary requests.

The subpoena threat came as House Democratic leaders

were preparing to lay out the next steps in their rapidly unfolding impeachment inquiry, and as lawmakers expected to hear a mysterious bit of new information abruptly offered up by the State Department’s independent watchdog.

After a Wednesday morning news conference where House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Adam B. Schiff, the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, planned to outline the progress of their inquiry, Steven A. Linick, the State Department’s inspector general, was to brief lawmakers in the afternoon about urgent material he said was relevant to the investigation.

What exactly Linick intended to share with Congress remained a matter of intense

speculation.

It promised to be another momentous day in Washington, where revelations about attempts by Trump and his private lawyer to pressure Ukraine to help smear Biden have touched off an inquiry that threatens his presidency.

The draft subpoena reads like a dragnet of potential records related to the Ukraine matter and is all but certain to touch off a battle with a White House that has a long history of refusing to comply with congressional requests of this nature. It also explicitly asks for records that could indicate whether the White House or other administration officials took steps to conceal or destroy the records to prevent Congress or the public from learning what had happened.

Dressing this time of year can be a challenge I just don’t know how to dress this month.

I stick my head out of my cocoon of blankets in the morning and it’s quite chilly in my house. I put on my snuggly robe, pad to the kitchen for my coffee, consider turning on the heat. By the time I get out of my morning shower, it’s warming up and I put on long pants and a shortsleeve shirt. Within an hour, it’s time for another change to sleeveless shirt and shorts. By 3, it’s time for the reverse.

apple-picking season. Last week I made applesauce. The aroma of apples was everywhere. It not only stimulated the palate, but, also the mind.

I was once again in my mother’s kitchen, where we were cooking down the overripe apples into sauce. Remember when fruit sauce was a part of almost every meal?

One of the items in the closet was a sauce set, which consisted of a large bowl and six or more small dishes, which were sauce bowls. Every good china set had small sauce dishes (many used as cat food dishes today).

We made sauces from every type of fruit: pear, peaches, berries — whatever was in season, whatever was too ripe for canning. When we had too much sauce, mother would cook it down longer with cinnamon and make fruit butter for the winter months. Or jams and jellies from the berries.

In the fall, afternoon and evening snack was quite often fruit sauce accompanied by gingersnaps or sugar cookies.

The problem with fresh fruit, especially pears: when you pick them, they’re too hard to eat. You set them to ripen; if you don’t check them many times a day, they’re too ripe to can. Just another busy time of the year for us.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA COLUMBIA COUNTY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

CALENDAR LISTINGS

‘Bling for the Builds’ jewelry auction HUDSON — Columbia County Habitat for Humanity is holding a jewelry auction on Oct. 10, at 6 p.m., at Meissner’s Auction Service in New Lebanon. Available jewelry will include vintage, costume and fine pieces. All proceeds will support Habitat’s affordable housing initiatives.

Co-chairs Marian Guerrerio and Samantha Vining are spearheading this event.

“At Habitat’s first auction, ‘Handbags for Habitat’ in 2017, I had such a blast that I thought a jewelry auction would be even more fun,” said Vining.

“Many of us have pieces which we don’t wear, while we’re always looking for something different for a new

season or special occasion,” explained Guerrerio. “This will be a great opportunity to support Habitat’s work while enjoying the chance to acquire new pieces or to pass along ones you no longer wear.”

Dolores Meissner of Meissner’s Auction Service is donating the services and facilities for the event.

Tickets are $10 and include $5 credit towards the auction.

Wine and light snacks will be provided.

Columbia County Habitat is accepting donations of jewelry through September 30, 2019. To make a donation or for more information on Columbia County Habitat, please email bling@columbiacountyhabitat.org.

COLUMBIA COUNTY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY Columbia County Habitat for Humanity, founded in 1993, is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International.

Habitat brings together a community of neighbors, community groups, and businesses to build sustainable, affordable homes for working families.

CC Habitat has completed 20 affordable homes in its first 25 years; its current goal is to complete 30 homes by 2020 and to work more broadly in the underserved rural areas of the county. To generate revenue for building projects, as well as encourage re-use and recycling, Habitat operates a ReStore located on Route 66 in Hudson.

Picasso, Braque & Léger: 20th Century Modern Masters GLENS FALLS — Many words come to mind upon hearing the names Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Fernand Léger — Cubism, friendship, Modern art, innovation. But poetry, literature and theater are not usually among them.

“Picasso, Braque & Léger: Twentieth Century Modern Masters,” which opens October 6 at The Hyde Collection, explores their shared loved of the printed word.

This exhibition of more than 100 prints by the three Modern masters examines their relationships with post-World War II writers, playwrights, and poets, and the artists’ dedication to creating imagery that interpreted modern texts.

All three artists, lured by the city’s rich history and thriving culture, moved to Paris, the center of the art world. There, Picasso (1881–1973) and Braque (1882–1963) began to experiment with their artwork, ultimately initiating Cubism. They were joined by Léger (1881–1955), and the trio ushered in the art movement, which shattered traditional depiction of the natural world at one moment in time and space from a single vantage point. The effects were felt throughout Europe, impacting painting, sculpture, architecture, music and literature.

Throughout their lives, Picasso, Braque and Léger each became synonymous with the development of Modern art. But even as their styles diverged, all three men loved

books and, at some point in their careers, planned, designed and illustrated them, reclaiming illustration as a form of fine art from the hands of the narrative illustrator.

The results are chronicled in “Picasso, Braque & Léger,” a well-balanced selection

of important prints that display each artist’s personal articulation in response to language.

“Picasso, Braque & Léger” runs through January 5, 2020, in Wood and Whitney-Renz Galleries.

To compliment the exhibition, The Hyde is collaborating with Crandall Public Library to offer a selection of books in Wood Gallery.

The initiative is fueled by the success of The Hyde’s in-gallery guide program, in which Museum educators develop a Family Discovery Kit and a Gallery Guide with activities and information that supplement the exhibition. During the Museum’s last Wood Gallery exhibition, From the Rooftops: John Sloan and the Art of a New Urban Space, more than 800 visitors used the two publications.

For “Picasso, Braque & Léger,” Hyde educators and Crandall Public Library’s head of children’s services, Pam Frazier, selected books for all ages that will enhance the museum visitor’s experience and provide new ways to relate to the works of art exhibited.

“Picasso, Braque & Léger: Twentieth Century Modern Masters” is organized by Contemporary and Modern Print Exhibitions, and sponsored by Marvin & Company, P.C.; Mr. and Mrs. Karl E. Seitz; Silverwood Home & Galleries; and Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson.

‘The Cotton Club Encore’ and conversation with Francis Ford Coppola ALBANY — A benefit screening for the New York State Writers Institute with a very special guest: Francis Ford Coppola, director of “The Godfather” and “Apocalypse Now,” will be featured in the showing at 2 p.m.

Sunday, Oct. 6, at the Hart Theatre in The Egg, located at Empire State Plaza, Albany.

Tickets are $25 per person, and are available online or in

person at The Egg box office at the Empire State Plaza, or by phone at 518-473-1845.

Proceeds will support the Writers Institute’s inaugural Albany Film Festival at UAlbany on March 28.

The NYS Writers Institute welcomes legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola for the Albany premiere of “The Cotton Club Encore.”

A conversation with Coppola

and Writers Institute founder William Kennedy, who cowrote the original screenplay, will follow the screening.

Francis Ford Coppola’s restored and re-edited film features 30 minutes of new footage with several high-energy musical and dance numbers cut from the 1984 “Cotton Club” movie.

The restorations expand the film’s dramatic line, especially

the black characters’ story and performances.

The new film, appearing 35 years after the original, represents a labor of love for Coppola, who spent half a million dollars of his own money reediting it.

‘Downton Abbey’ a valentine for fans only

By Raymond Pignone Columbia-Greene Media

The Royal Family is making a one-night stopover. Egad! First of all, it’s the Mount Everest of service for the aristocrats, butlers, chefs and housekeepers of “Downton Abbey.” Second, it’s 1927 and England is between world wars. Third, the lords and ladies of the abbey are stalwart but fraying a bit on the edges.

So not much has changed over those 12 months. The downstairs staff of servants and other household workers complain (not too strenuously) about their upstairs employers, the Crawley family, who host gala dinners and fancy-dress balls. Romantic longings waft through the air and Maggie Smith, crusty but lovable at 84, still gets the best lines.

The trouble with “Downton Abbey” is not its ritualistic politesse, which seems oddly reassuring these days. It’s that a subplot is assigned to each of the two dozen or so principal actors, and with a running time of two hours, the movie leaves little room for exposition or characterization.

The movie, based on Julian Fellowes’ popular TV series that

A promotional photo from “Downton Abbey.”

aired from 2011 to 2016, is a valentine to its fans, who know all of the characters, laugh at all of the witticisms, sharp and flat, and don’t need further exposition. Along the way, the script, written by Fellowes, provides some small, lively episodes that have fun presenting Downton’s denizens as happy and fulfilled and one that slyly portends the changes to come in British society. Casual moviegoers unfamiliar with the series might find themselves out in the cold.

The actors don’t disappoint.

All veterans of the TV series, they deliver the expected charm and assertiveness, and they look attractive doing it. The period details are meticulously rendered, from the costumes to the grandfather clock set to the right time. You feel as though you’re watching through a window in time. The weakness here is that spontaneity has been sacrificed to the physical production.

As a movie, “Downton Abbey” is something of a fixed

entity, a fully formed piece of commercial filmmaking heading toward a peculiar museum of traditional British cinema long since abandoned, its glories subsumed by the liberal, more energetic documentaryrealist and Pop Art styles of the 1960s and 1970s.

“Downton Abbey” unfolds in a rigorously defined world, but it’s a comfortable place. You can get used to it and you might even like it. And then one day, you hear talk of selling the comfortable place because the caretakers are growing too old for the strain of operating with unshakable perfection what is essentially a hotel in a castle. The theme of diminishing abilities is sensitively and poignantly handled, both in the performances and in this part of the movie.

The movie is the second feature from director Michael Engler, who directed “Downton Abbey” for TV and the Louise Brooks biopic “The Chaperone” for the big screen. Engler has an intelligent feel for television technique, with its focus on the actors’ faces and on cleanly composed shots easily contained by the big screen.

TSL Movies October 3 October 9 n Anthropocene: The Human Epoch — A years-in-the-making feature documentary from the award-winning team behind Manufactured Landscapes (2006) and Watermark (2013) and narrated by Alicia Vikander. The film follows the research of an international body of scientists, the Anthropocene Working Group who, after nearly 10 years of research, argue that the Holocene Epoch gave way to the Anthropocene Epoch in the mid-twentieth century as a result of profound and lasting human changes to the Earth.

In English, Russian, Italian, German, Mandarin, and Cantonese with subtitles. 2019. 1h27m. n Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice — Linda Ronstadt guides us through her remarkable life and career from growing up in Tucson singing Mexican canciones with her family; her folk days with the Stone Poneys; and her reign as the “queen of country rock” in the ‘70s and early ’80s. With moving performance footage and appearances by friends and collaborators including Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne, the documentary celebrates an artist whose desire to share the music she loved, made generations of fans fall in love with her – and the sound of her voice. 2019. 1h35m n Vita & Virginia — Set amid the bohemian high society of 1920s England, Vita & Virginia tells the true story of a literary love affair that fueled the imagination of one of the 20th century’s most celebrated writers. Vita Sackville-West (Gemma Arterton) is the brash, aristocratic wife of a diplomat who refuses to be constrained by her marriage, defiantly courting scandal through her affairs with women. When she meets the brilliant but troubled Virginia Woolf (Elizabeth Debicki), she is immediately attracted to the famed novelist’s eccentric genius and enigmatic allure. So begins an intense, passionate relationship marked by all-consuming desire, intellectual gamesmanship, and destructive jealousy that will inspire the writing of one of Woolf’s greatest works. 2019. 1h50m. n Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool — The life and career of musical giant and cultural icon Miles Davis, a true visionary, innovator and originator who defied categorization and embodied the word cool. Miles’s bold disregard for tradition, his clarity of vision, his relentless drive, and constant thirst for new experiences made him an inspiring collaborator to fellow musicians and a cultural icon to generations of listeners. It made him an innovator in music – from bebop to “cool jazz,” modern quintets, orchestral music, jazz fusion, rock ’n’ roll, and even hip-hop.

Featuring never-before-seen archival footage, studio outtakes, and rare photos. 2019. 1h54m. n Honeyland — Hatidze lives with her ailing mother in the mountains of Macedonia, making a living cultivating honey using ancient beekeeping traditions. When an unruly family moves in next door, what seems like a balm for her solitude becomes a source of tension as they, too, want to practice beekeeping, while disregarding her advice. The most awarded film out of this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Honeyland is an epic, visually stunning documentary on the delicate balance between nature and humanity that has something sweet for everyone. 2019. In Turkish with subtitles. 1h25m. n Rezo — The rich inner world of the renowned Georgian screenwriter, artist, and puppeteer Rezo Gabriadze is as fantastic as the animation into which he has poured this story of his life. Rezo’s director son, Leo Gabriadze (Unfriended), leaves it to his father to talk about a life suffused with magical thinking. The movie is an autobiographical animated documentary questioning ideas of deep humanity, kindness, and survival during the uneasy times after World War II. In Russian with subtitles. 1h15m. n I Do Not Care If We Go Down in History as Barbarians — Tasked with staging a public performance relating to Romanian history, an idealistic theatre director opts to stage a re-enactment of a 1941 massacre of tens of thousands of Jews

by Romanian troops. Her choice angers a city official who threatens to close the production because of its “anti-Romanian” take on history.

However, the reaction to the piece is one that neither anticipated. This internationally-acclaimed dark satire is a timely statement about the consequences of selective and willful amnesia on a society fueled by populist sentiments. 2018. In Romanian with subtitles. 2h20m. n Official Secrets — The gripping, true story of Katharine Gun (Keira Knightley), a British intelligence specialist. In 2003, Gun receives a memo from the NSA with a shocking directive: the US is enlisting

Britain’s help in collecting compromising information on UN Security Council members in order to blackmail them into voting in favor of an invasion of Iraq. Unable to stand by and watch the world be rushed into an illegal war, Gun makes the gutwrenching decision to defy her government and leak the memo to the press. So begins an explosive chain of events that will ignite an international firestorm. 2019. 1h51m.

Get out and enjoy all that autumn has to offer

by Abby and Gabby For Columbia-Greene Media

PRATTSVILLE — Looks like fall is here with all its lovely colors. Get out and enjoy the autumnal temperature and sunshine.

Take a drive on Route 23A past the O’Hara Ranch. It is not just baled hay for them. The bales wrapped in white plastic have Halloween designs and O’Hara names on them. What fun! Then Nancy and Mike O’Hara’s home has been painted a cheery yellow and trimmed in white. Some auxiliary buildings were also painted. This was all completed in less than two days. Looks good, O’Haras.

Paolucci, Rose lead Chatham to victory

By Tim Martin Columbia-Greene Media

HUDSON — Caroline Paolucci and Julia Rose each recorded a hat trick to spark Chatham to a 9-0 victory over Hudson in Tuesday’s Patroon Conference girls soccer match.

Paolucci also had an assist for the Panthers. Haley Sherman had a goal and an assist, Erika Jackson a goal and an assist, Sam Bryant a goal and Gabby Fisher an assist.

Melena Jeune had 10 saves for the Bluehawks.

Catskill 1, Maple Hill 1 CASTLETON — Catskill and Maple Hill battled to a 1-1 tie in Tuesday’s Patroon Conference girls soccer action.

After a scoreless first half, Maci Mosher scored Catskill’s goal in the second.

Gianna Morse scored Maple Hill’s goal with an assist from Emma Pearsall.

The team battled through two 10-minute overtime periods befoe the game was declared a draw.

Laura Christman had five saves in goal for Catskill. Maple Hill’s Hannah Brewer had 10 saves.

Daniel Jones has certainly brought a new dimension to the Giants’ offense.

In his first two starts he’s been able to run for 61 yards. Some of his best plays during this small sample, in fact, have come from his running. He scooted into the end zone twice against the Bills, including on the game-winner, and against Washington he converted a third-and-13 in the third quarter by spinning away from a potential sack and sprinting for a gain of 16 yards and a first down.

That doesn’t even include some of the throws he’s been able to make on the move, juking around

the backfield before finding open receivers.

“He’s slippery,” said Giants wide receiver Golden Tate, who has been watching from afar while serving a fourgame suspension but returns to the field this week. “He finds his way out of some sticky situations and makes plays.”

They might soon start calling him Danny Dash.

But Jones also brings a new dimension to the Giants’ backup quarterback job, too. Because every time a quarterback runs with the ball in the NFL, he’s putting himself in peril. The Giants don’t have to look too far to find some examples of how dangerous it can See GIANTS B4

Yankees’ call to arms will have a new look during playoff run David Lennon Newsday

Still wondering how the Yankees are going to deploy their pitching staff for these playoffs?

There’s no need to keep sniffing around for hints from Brian Cashman.

Just look back at what the Red Sox did a year ago to win the World Series.

While it’s true that Cashman, as orchestrated

by Aaron Boone, tipped his hand to some degree during the final days of the regular season, by using a piggy-back strategy with a few of his starters, the modern October blueprint already has been provided by Alex Cora & Co. It involves a closely-monitored reliance on the rotation concept, and a smart-bomb efficiency with the so-called bullpen, henceforth known as any pitcher that enters after the first inning.

Last year, on their path to the title, the Red Sox starters — or the five pitchers labeled as such — averaged 5.07 innings over the club’s 14 playoff games. They also were successful in that minimized role, with a 3.80 ERA, 67 strikeouts and 25 walks over those 71 innings.

As for the bullpen, Boston used 11 pitchers in a relief capacity, including all five of the “starters” at various times, and that group combined for a 3.00 ERA, 63 strikeouts and 32 walks over 63 innings.

The goal is to collect 11 wins over the next

month, and you don’t get extra credit for sticking to a traditional script. It’s anything goes from a pitching standpoint, and Cashman has

been planning for this October ever since he spent $66 million on Zack Britton and Adam Ottavino last winter.

Turning J.A. Happ and CC Sabathia into bullpen pieces was less anticipated, along with having a tighter leash on Masahiro Tanaka, whose 1.50 ERA in five postseason starts doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll be allowed anywhere near the six-inning threshold he average in those outings. James Paxton earned Cashman’s faith as the closest thing to a playoff ace by going 10-0 with a 2.25 ERA and .167 OBA down the stretch, then he was felled temporarily by an irritated nerve in his backside (the Yankees think he’ll be fine for the upcoming Division Series).

Luis Severino returned from his season-long lat muscle issue just in time to replace Domingo German, who was put on indefinite leave due to domestic abuse allegations, but he’s another presumed “starter” that likely won’t be pushed to a third-time through the order, depending on how Cashman/Boone map out the matchup scenarios. With a fully rested pen, it could make sense to go with Severino in Friday’s Game 1 against the Twins, followed in Saturday’s Game 2 by Paxson, the one starter the Yankees trust to give them any semblance of length. Then they can just push the reset button for the relief corps with Sunday’s travel day.

By carrying 12 or 13 pitchers, this mindset allows the Yankees to play a shell game with the staff, with the aim of arranging the matchups See YANKEES B4

Tyler Kepner The New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — When Christian Yelich broke his kneecap on a foul ball last month, the Milwaukee Brewers turned to a rookie to replace him. Trent Grisham had gotten five hits the night before, and he impressed his manager, Craig Counsell, with his poise. He is not a superstar like Yelich, but Grisham could hold his own.

“He’s 22 and he’s got the low heart rate,” Counsell said last week, on the bench before a game in Cincinnati. “As the game goes on, he plays very smooth. You’d never know it’s a big game. Sometimes you want him to hurry up. Very relaxed out there; the situation’s not going to get too big for him.”

On Tuesday night, in the National League wild card game at Nationals Park, Grisham came undone in right field at the worst possible time. With two outs, the bases loaded and the Brewers leading by two runs, Grisham let a single by Juan Soto skip past him. The Nationals — haunted by repeated autumn failures — finally caught a break in the month that has bedeviled them.

The game would almost certainly have been tied even if Grisham had fielded the ball cleanly, and Josh Hader, the Brewers’ overpowering closer, had certainly created the mess with a hit batter, a single and a walk. But the go-ahead run scampered home on Grisham’s error, and the Nationals soon finished off a raucous 4-3 victory to set up a division series date with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

To get there, the Nationals needed eight innings Tuesday from their aces, Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg. Scherzer walked Grisham to lead off the game, and then allowed a two-run homer to Yasmani Grandal. In the second inning, Eric Thames homered off Scherzer.

But the Brewers never scored again, with Strasburg relieving Scherzer to start the top of the sixth. He worked three dominant innings, and Daniel Hudson saved it in the ninth.

This is the first time the Nationals have advanced in the playoffs — though, technically, they still have not won a postseason series — since Major League Baseball finally returned to Washington for the 2005 season.

When Victor Robles caught the final out in center field, and fireworks exploded over South Capitol Street, MLB’s vision for the city was illuminated: a perennial winner with a roster of stars in a ballpark that set off a neighborhood building boom.

“That was absolutely the dream,” said Jim Bowden, the Washington Nationals’ first general manager after their move from Montreal. “When I came over, the team was owned by 30 clubs and run by the commissioner’s office.

GEOFF BURKE/USA TODAY

Washington Nationals left fielder Juan Soto (22) celebrates with teammates after hitting a three run go ahead single during the eighth in the 2019 National League Wild Card playoff baseball game to defeat the Milwaukee Brewers at Nationals Park.

They wanted to find an owner that had the resources, lived in the D.C. area and had the pockets to build world championship-caliber teams.”

Under the principal owner Ted Lerner, the Nationals have spent lavishly, won consistently and watched new construction rise steadily around Nationals Park. But nervous tension in early autumn is also part of the team’s identity.

The playoffs have come to Nationals Park five times in eight seasons, including Tuesday’s wild card showdown.

“The blueprint’s been pretty impressive,” Bowden said.

“The only thing they’re lacking is winning a series and winning a world championship, which they’re still trying to do for Ted.” This year’s effort seemed doomed through the first 50 games of the season. The Nationals were 19-31 through May 23, yet rallied to become the first team since the 1914 Boston Braves to finish with at least 93 victories after falling 12 games under .500. Those Braves beat the Philadelphia A’s in one of the greatest upsets in World Series history.

These Nationals are a hard sell as an underdog. Their payroll of roughly $195 million ranks among the highest in the majors, and their three top starters — Scherzer, Strasburg and Patrick Corbin — are signed for a combined $525 million.

The trio was worth the money this season, posting a 43-20 record and a 3.18 ERA among the three of them. The Nationals outbid the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies last winter for Corbin, signing him for six years and $140 million. The Phillies wound up spending $330 million for 13 years to sign Bryce Harper, the former NL MVP who spent his first seven season with the Nationals. Harper had a strong year, but weak pitching doomed the Phillies to a .500 record.

Even after Harper’s departure, the Nationals were left with franchise cornerstones to spare. Third baseman

Anthony Rendon hit .319 with 34 homers and a major leaguehigh 126 RBIs, and Soto, the left fielder, nearly matched him, at .282-34-110.

Soto does not turn 21 until Oct. 25 — the day of Game 3 of the World Series — but still put together a season with few precedents. Soto’s .949 onbase-plus slugging percentage made him just the 10th player in major league history with at least a .900 OPS at age 20, joining some of the game’s most prolific hitters: Mel Ott, Alex Rodriguez, Ted Williams, Cap Anson, Al Kaline, Jimmie Foxx, Mike Trout, Frank Robinson and Mickey Mantle.

“I feel really happy and really proud of myself, but it’s not over yet,” Soto said.

Neither, the Nationals hope, is their relationship with Rendon, who is 29 and eligible for free agency after the World Series. The Washington Post reported Monday that in September the team had offered Rendon a seven-year contract worth $210 million to $215 million, but Rendon seems almost certain to test the market.

“If you’re giving me the opportunity and saying I’m this close from going to go car shopping from multiple lots, instead of staying in one lot, I mean, what would you do?”

Rendon said in July, in a radio interview with 106.7 The Fan. The Nationals tried a similar strategy with Harper at the end of last season, offering him a 10-year, $300 million contract with deferrals that would have paid Harper until he turned 60.

When Harper turned it down, as expected, the Nationals immediately moved on.

The Rendon proposal, at least, is meant to be an opening offer, not a final one, with deferrals to be paid out much sooner. And the Lerner family and general manager Mike Rizzo have made several deals with Scott Boras, who represents Harper but also Scherzer, Strasburg and Jayson Werth, the former outfielder.

Back in 2010, the Nationals startled the industry with a seven-year, $126 million deal for Werth, who had been a complementary player for the Phillies teams that ruled the NL East. But he led the Nationals to first place in his second season, helped the team win three more division crowns, and now has his name in the franchise ring of honor along the upper deck facade.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Verdict from postseasons past: Glavine, Smoltz endorse Braves pitching Steve Hummer The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

ATLANTA — First, realize that pitching in October is an altogether higher form of the art.

Just listen to a couple guys who between them have 427-1/3 innings of postseason experience, along with 29 playoff wins and even a handful of saves in one case. They are among the few who have forged a very special relationship with October.

“You get everybody’s best at-bat,” said Tom “Just Give Me One Run” Glavine, author of the Braves best World Series moment (eight innings, one hit in 1995’s clincher against Cleveland).

“It’s not Sunday in August and 104 degrees and, ‘It’s my fourth at-bat and I want to get out of here.’ You don’t get that. Everybody grinds every pitch.”

Echoing that sentiment is John Smoltz, he of the 15-4 postseason record for the Braves. And four saves.

And a roommate of Glavine’s in Cooperstown.

“You’re dealing with a game that will be the most fatiguing game you’ve ever pitched,” Smoltz said. “You’re dealing with a game where a runner on first is

a rally. The crowd is into every pitch.

There is nothing taken for granted.”

The intensity, Smoltz said, is such that 100 pitches in October will wear on you 150 any other time of year.

“If they’d tell you, OK, I want you to pitch 35 postseason games in a year, I couldn’t get through half a season,” Smoltz said.

Having established that this fall baseball is a gnarly beast, the question then becomes just how are the Braves equipped to deal with the pitching piece of the challenge this time around?

It will be a largely different look for the Braves than just a year ago, when they were the surprise of the NL East and then four-and-out against Los Angeles in the divisional series. And a different opponent — St. Louis is up.

Last year in those four games against the Dodgers, your starters were Mike Foltynewicz, Anibel Sanchez, Sean Newcomb tag-teaming with Kevin Gausman and Foltynewicz again. The winning pitcher in Game 3 was ... we’ll wait a moment while you try to come up with the name.

Time’s up: Touki Toussaint.

Gausman and Sanchez are gone.

Newcomb has been re-purposed as a reliever. And Foltynewicz had to go to Gwinnett on a Triple-A vision quest to find himself before returning to Atlanta as a viable arm. Lo, here he is the hottest Braves pitcher down the stretch — 1.50 ERA, .149 batting average against, 26 strike outs to six walks in his last five starts.

This time, the presumptive starters — Dallas Keuchel, Foltynewicz, Mike Soroka and Max Fried should the need arise — represent a quite different mix of experience, youth and stuff. There have been some late-season wobbles among them, but as a whole, our esteemed guest lecturers today believe that the Braves are much better served by their starters than in 2018.

“I think they’re set up pretty well,” Glavine said. “I think on the pitching side they’re much stronger going in this year than they were a year ago. I think the rotation is much more an asset than it was a year ago. The bullpen the same thing.

“They’re in the enviable position of making tough decisions (for the makeup of the postseason roster), which every organization wants to do.”

Glavine was 25 when he made his

staff. He has in his back pocket nine postseason starts for Houston and the guile to go with it, and is scheduled to start Game One Thursday.

Do not underplay the Keuchel Effect, even if he isn’t one of those newage whip-arms capable of overpowering an opponent on command.

(Keuchel is 8-8 with a 3.75 ERA as a Brave).

“It’s huge based on certain matchups. He’s been through it. He knows how to pass some of that information on. He’s been on a championship team, pitched when he wasn’t maybe exactly perfect but figured out a way,” Smoltz said.

At the back end of the pitching equation, the Braves also did some major trade deadline remodeling in their bullpen, acquiring Chris Martin, Shane Greene and Mark Melancon to apply the finishing coat to games.

“That’s about as good a move as any team has made covering up some of the things that needed to be covered up,” Smoltz said. “It’s basically given (the Braves) a chance to make a deep run — a deep run.”

playoff debut for the Braves in 1991, Smoltz 24. If either is concerned about the 22-year-old Soroka (13-4, 2.60 ERA and an All-Star) being dropped into the middle of the playoff crucible, he disguises it well. Soroka is tentatively scheduled to pitch Game 3 of the NLDS in St. Louis.

“If he goes out there and does what Steve Avery did at 21-years old in Pittsburgh, then I’m OK with it,” Glavine said with a smile. Young Avery threw 16 scoreless innings at the Pirates in the ‘91 NLCS. “I worry less about age and more about make-up,” continued Glavine, who has watched up close as the occasional TV analyst for the Braves. “In Soroka’s case I think he’s wise beyond his years. He’s got a great understanding of what he’s doing and what makes him good. I don’t think he gets rattled by the situation. I don’t worry about him.

“You can have talent and experience,” Glavine said, “but if I can only have one, give me talent.”

At the other end of the age and experience spectrum is the gloriously bearded 31-year-old Keuchel, acquired in June as a stabilizer for the

That’s not to say that Jones is doomed, but he certainly is at more risk than Eli Manning was.

The most remarkable aspect of Manning’s career with the Giants may be that he never missed a start due to injury in 16 seasons. In fact, there were only two that he didn’t finish because of injury. In a league where the question each Sunday is not whether a starting quarterback will be knocked out of a game but which one (or two or three) it will be, Manning was always able to avoid such hits.

Being Manning’s backup used to come with a great perk: Weekends off. Now that he is the backup, Manning likely reaches for his helmet each time Jones scampers.

Of course, Manning never really took off on runs like the

16-yarder Jones had against Washington, lunging forward, head-first, for the first down.

pitting their tactical smarts against whatever October challenges arise.

“It’s all hands on deck,” Cashman said before Game No. 162. “We’re still working through what that means and how we’re going to deploy it and what’s our best strategy is to do so. A lot of our starters got to be ready to be used as

relievers too, so they’ve got to be pliable and ready to be reliable.”

Cashman’s nod to Clyde Frazier should be put on a t-shirt for this playoff run, as far as the pitching staff is concerned. The Yankees even prepped Tanaka by piggybacking him with the opener Chad Green on the season’s

Tight end Evan Engram admired the play. Well, most of it.

“That’s just him,” Engram said. “That’s his edge, that’s his heart. He’s just got to slide feet first.”

Not necessarily, said Pat Shurmur.

“Those are acceptable slides now if you go head first,” he said on Monday. “If you give yourself up, they are not supposed to be able to hit you.

It’s like baseball now. You can slide head first or you can slide feet first. That’s kind of an acceptable body language to not get whacked.”

Tell that to the 250-pound linebacker screaming in to prevent a first down. Sure, a hit there might draw a flag and 15 yards. It also might send a quarterback into concussion protocol.

In 2019, though, the results clearly outweigh the risks.

And now that the Giants have

joined the rest of the NFL in this era of quarterback mobility, they feel the same way, too.

“Typically if you have a long scoring drive, the quarterback somewhere in there has got to do something with his feet to keep it alive,” Shurmur said.

“He may scramble and throw the ball away, scramble to get some yards, maybe scramble and throw what I call a 60-yard checkdown. But that’s what you see around the league.

“Now,” he added, “the important thing is that you’re smart about it and use good judgment.”

So far, Jones has managed to remain as unscathed as his win-loss record.

The Giants should want to keep both that way for as long as possible.

final day, and the three-inning relief appearance was his first out of the bullpen as a Yankee, after 163 big-league starts.

That felt a bit radical, with Cashman and assistant GM/ chief analyst Michael Fishman watching from an exec’s box at Globe Life Park, like a pair of scheming mad scientists. But maybe Tanaka’s relief stint

also was about getting something on tape, in footballspeak, to give the Twins another wrinkle to worry about in their Division Series preparation.

“We’re just trying to put ourselves in the position to keep our options open,” Cashman said, “and allow this roster to be as flexible and adjustable as

possible.”

The Yankees figured out how to get to 103 wins during the regular season and earn their first AL East crown since 2012 despite a mind-boggling number of injuries. Collecting 11 more victories and a 28th World Series title will be an even greater test of their intellect and ingenuity.

NHL Eastern Conference: How good will the Devils be with Jack Hughes?

Helene Elliott Los Angeles Times

Eastern Conference teams had four of the top five regular-season records in 2018-19, but only the Boston Bruins went far in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Tampa Bay, which tied an NHL record by winning 62 games, made a shockingly meek exit by losing four straight to Columbus in the first round. The third-ranked Bruins reached the Cup Final, in which they lost to St. Louis in seven games. But fourth-ranked and defending champion Washington was upset by Carolina in seven games in the first round, and the No. 5 New York Islanders were swept out of the second round by Carolina.

NHL Western Conference: Can the Blues repeat as champions?

Helene Elliott Los Angeles Times

The Stanley Cup champion came from the Western Conference last season, but the winner wasn’t one of the teams that dominated early in the decade.

The Chicago Blackhawks, who won in 2010, 2013 and 2015, and the Los Angeles Kings, who prevailed in 2012 and 2014, missed the playoffs last season and plunged into roster rebuilds. While they fell, the St. Louis Blues became first-time Cup winners, mixing brawn with skill and the stellar goaltending of rookie Jordan Binnington.

Winning back-to-back Cup titles is tough, but the Blues brought back the heart of their championship team, with the notable exceptions of trading hardhitting defenseman Joel Edmundson to Carolina for puck-moving defenseman Justin Faulk and letting hometown hero Pat Maroon leave as a free agent.

Here are the big questions in the Western Conference leading into the season: Q. Can the St. Louis Blues repeat?

A. Their rise from last place overall in January to champions in June made them a popular winner, as did their status as the only surviving team from the Second Six expansion in 1967 that hadn’t won the Cup. Fans of old-time hockey liked them because they were big and physical and bucked the NHL’s trend toward emphasizing speed and skill, though they have ample talent. It’s tough to sustain bruising hitting over a full season. In their favor: They have kids bringing energy, and three-time All-Star Faulk should boost their power play.

Q. How will the Kings do?

A. They ranked 30th and had an NHL-worst minus-61 goal differential, so the only way to go is up.

Todd McLellan — general manager Rob Blake’s third coaching hire in less than two years — wants to bring structure and a faster tempo. They need both. Their ability to be competitive depends on whether goalie Jonathan Quick (3.38 goalsagainst average, .888 save percentage) and winger Tyler Toffoli (13 goals in 82 games) can rebound from bad seasons. If they can’t, Blake will have to make sweeping changes. It will be interesting to see whether 36-year-old winger Ilya Kovalchuk, misused last season while scoring 16 goals in 64 games, can again be productive. A long season

looms.

Q. How will the Anaheim Ducks do?

A. They also have a new coach, but Dallas Eakins coached many of their young players at San Diego of the American Hockey League. They didn’t have to go through a complete makeover, but they could struggle to score again after ranking last overall last season with an average of 2.39 goals per game. Goalie John Gibson (2.84 goals-against average, .917 save percentage) is among the NHL’s best but doesn’t get enough help. Ryan Getzlaf, who is 16 games from 1,000 in his career, must mesh with younger players now that longtime linemate Corey Perry was bought out. The playoffs are a long shot.

Q. Who’s on an upswing?

A. The Arizona Coyotes finished four points out of a wild-card playoff spot last season without having a 20-goal scorer. They will welcome Phil Kessel, who has scored at least 20 goals in 11 straight seasons and feasts on the power play. ...

The Dallas Stars, who took St. Louis to double overtime in Game 7 in the second round of the playoffs, gained experience and scoring potential when they signed Perry and Joe Pavelski but also got older in a youthdriven league. ... Colorado defenseman Cale Makar will be a rookie of the year candidate and has superstar potential. Nathan MacKinnon (41 goals, 99 points) is already at the elite level.

Q. Who’s on a downswing?

A. The Winnipeg Jets are hurting. Defenseman Dustin Byfuglien, their ice-time leader last season, took a leave of absence and might retire. They couldn’t sign defenseman Jacob Trouba and traded him; they lost another bigminutes defenseman, Tyler Myers, to free agency. Signing holdout forwards Patrik Laine (two years, $13.5 million) and Kyle Connor (seven years, $50 million) was vital to their future. ...

The Minnesota Wild always seems to be good but never great. Look for new general manager Bill Guerin to keep coach Bruce Boudreau on a short leash. ... The San Jose Sharks’ window of opportunity could be closing.

Extending Erik Karlsson’s contract left them no money to keep Pavelski, a big loss.

Their defense drops off after Karlsson, Brent Burns and Marc-Edouard Vlasic, and Martin Jones’ .896 save percentage last season wasn’t good enough.

Boyfriend needs to set some friend boundaries Dear Abby, My boyfriend and I have been together for nearly a year. He has several female friends I have met and like very much.

However, one of them texts him every day, even while we are DEAR ABBY together. She also sends Facebook messages and sometimes calls him at work. Sometimes she “drops in” at his home.

Abby, this woman is married with a family of her own, but she seems to be obsessed with my boyfriend. I have expressed my concern about her behavior and told my boyfriend that while I trust him completely, I feel what she’s doing is disrespectful to our relationship as well as the one she has with her husband and family. How can I make him understand that they can still be friends, but he needs to set some boundaries?

Fed Up In New York

JEANNE PHILLIPS

Your boyfriend is allowed to be friends with anyone he wishes. However, because you think the attention he’s receiving from this woman infringes on your time with him, you should say that to him. If you do, perhaps he may tell her to tone it down.

Dear Abby, I volunteer at a county no-kill animal shelter.

I love doing the work and helping people find a pet that’s right for them, if I can.

Every week, people come in looking for a lost pet. “What did he look like?” “How old was she?” And then the burning question, “Was your pet microchipped?” Often — too often

— the answer is “No.” Please remind your readers that if they care about Buddy or Fluffy and consider them family, to PLEASE have them microchipped. It’s not expensive. It will give people a much better chance of having their friend returned, even if they are far away.

Animal Lover In Utah I’m glad you wrote. I hope my animal-guardian readers will heed your advice. If pets are microchipped, it increases the odds of them being recovered.

Dear Abby, Can you please explain the guidelines for reciprocating invitations? We have invited the “Smiths” to our home three times. Each time they said they were busy and would be for several weeks, so we stopped extending invitations. Then they had us over, and we had a really good time. This week I tried to reciprocate and, again, they are busy. Should I keep trying? Or is this a signal that the Smiths don’t want to come to us for whatever reason?

Good Times In California No rule of etiquette requires you to continue trying to coax this couple to your home. After three refusals, it’s reasonable to conclude that — for whatever reason — they prefer to do the entertaining. While some might regard their refusals as a snub, I don’t think you should because they did reach out and invite you over. Because you feel obligated, try inviting them out to dinner, and see if that brings better results.

Gustatory rhinitis might be cause of after-dinner ‘sneezures’ Frequently, after eating and most often after dinner, I begin to sneeze. The sneezing goes on up to 10 times. It doesn’t seem to matter what I eat or where I am. My husband calls the episodes “sneezures,” and we found that if he tickles me, I start to laugh and the “sneezures” cease. I’ve tried to research this phenomenon with no luck.

TO YOUR Would you be able to shed some GOOD HEALTH light and possibly help me?

DR. KEITH ROACH

Sneezes can have several causes. The most common is due to irritation to the nose, such as by allergens, nonspecific irritants like cold air or dust, or infection.

However, there are unusual triggers, too. These include sunlight (photic sneezes), sexual activity and plucking eyebrows. Gustatory rhinitis (from Latin for “tasting” and Greek for “nose inflammation”) causes the nose to run, and this often leads to sneezing.

Many of these less common causes for sneezing stem from the parasympathetic nervous system. You may recall that the sympathetic nervous system is called the “fight or flight” response — an overall state of your autonomic nervous system.

The parasympathetic is called the “rest and digest” system. Sneezing is largely under parasympathetic control, whereas tickling would tend to stimulate the sympathetic nervous system.

If you notice that you have nasal discharge when you eat, then I think gustatory rhinitis is the explanation, and if you don’t want the tickle cure, you might ask your doctor about ipratropium nasal spray. I have found it to be effective.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You’ll have a hard time trying to sort out all that you are presented with today, but it’s essential that you prioritize in some fashion.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You may be breaking the rules without even knowing it today.

If asked to explain yourself, you must make no attempt at deceit!

Please pass on to your husband that I think “sneezures” is brilliant, and it ought to be a legitimate new word.

I am a 77-year-old woman with frequent urine infections. My urologist treats me with either nitrofurantoin or Bactrim.

When I take the medicine, I become freezing cold and begin to shiver or shake. I can barely get out of bed to urinate. Can there be an ingredient in the antibiotics that I am allergic to?

I don’t think this is an allergic reaction to the antibiotics. Antibiotic allergies most commonly show up with a rash. The symptoms you describe make me very concerned that the bacteria in the urine have found their way into your blood, and you are describing the rigors of bacteremia.

The recommended approach to a person with frequent infections is to first determine whether it’s a persistent infection or a recurrent infection. Persistent infection, the same bacteria over and over again, should make a clinician suspect a structural abnormality in the urinary system, such as a stone, stricture or tumor.

In an older woman, recurrent urine infections, as demonstrated by multiple different organisms, should make the clinician consider vaginal atrophy. This condition allows bacteria to enter the urinary tract and is easily treated with vaginal estrogen. Your urologist may wish to have you see a gynecologist to discuss the optimal formulation for you.

Horoscope

By Stella Wilder Born today, you possess a strong will and the ability to outlast almost any rival in head-tohead competition — provided, of course, that you take good care of yourself and do not assume that you can function well on little sleep and poor nutrition. Despite your abilities, you tend to tire quickly, and your body responds quickly to the food and drink you consume — so you’ll know almost immediately if you’ve eaten or drunk something you shouldn’t have!

Though you are quite positive in your outlook, there are times when you may suddenly sink into a deep depression — and the cause may be unknown. At such times it is important for you to remain in touch with those closest to you; to avoid contact is a serious mistake, for doing so almost always prolongs the sadness that has enveloped you.

Also born on this date are: Gwen Stefani, singer; Neve Campbell, actress; Stevie Ray Vaughan, musician; Lena Headey, actress; Clive Owen, actor; Al Sharpton, civil rights activist; Lindsey Buckingham, musician and singer.
