WINDHAM — Windham Democrats rejoiced in their judicial victory last week after a state Supreme Court judge ruled that two of their candidates will appear on the November ballot. The names of town supervisor candidate Nick Bove and town council candidate Natasha Shuster were originally not going to be seen on the Democratic line because Town Democratic Party Chairman Tom Poelker did not submit their paperwork by the July 25 deadline. Judge Lisa Fisher ruled in favor of

the candidates on Sept. 11. “It is a good day for democracy,” Bove’s attorney Kevin Maldonado said.

Attorney General’s office will pursue allegations of election fraud, Maldonado said at a press conference last week.

“Whether there will be an investigation has yet to be determined. There has been talk of some improprieties.

The Attorney General’s office did not return calls for comment. No criminal case against Poelker is

pending at this time, Greene County District Attorney Joseph Stanzione said Wednesday. “Whether there will be an investigation has yet to be determined,” Stanzione said. “There has been talk of some improprieties. There may very well be an investigation but nothing is pending per se.” Maldonado asked Bove’s competitor, Republican Thomas Hoyt, if he considered Poelker not getting his candidates’ paperwork submitted on time to be offensive. Hoyt is the Windham Town Republican Party chairman. See FRAUD A8

The proliferation of cyberattacks on businesses, schools and institutions has caught the attention of congressional leadership. U.S. Sen. Charles E. Schumer on Wednesday called for more federal aid in hunting down hackers and protecting victims of cyberattacks. In the wake of several ransomware attacks against school districts throughout upstate New York, including districts in Watertown, Syracuse and the Hudson Valley, Schumer, D-N.Y., said during a conference call that he will push the FBI and Congress for assistance. The senate minority leader said he wants his fellow lawmakers to pass the DHS Cyber Hunt and Incident Response Teams Act, which would allow the Department of Homeland Security to help schools, local governments, health care providers and other public and private organizations by providing cyber hunt and incident response teams. These teams will help protect institutions against malware and restore functionality to systems that have been attacked. The FBI, Schumer said, must prepare its field office staff to help investigate cyberattacks across the state and identify the culprits, where they are located and how to stop them. School officials typically lack the means and background to fight hackers, the senator said, prompting the need for expert help from the FBI. “It’s got to be stopped, and I’m going to fight tooth and nail for it,” Schumer said. “These two actions will be critical for stopping ransomware.” Hackers use malware, particularly ransomware, to encrypt, or lock up, computer users’ files and render the systems useless See SCHUMER A8

Emergency action bans sale of flavored e-cigs By Melanie Lekocevic Columbia-Greene Media

ALBANY — The New York State Public Health and Health Planning Council on Tuesday voted to adopt emergency regulations banning the sale of flavored e-cigarettes across the state. The vote comes after Gov. Andrew Cuomo directed the Department of Health to hold an emergency meeting to consider a ban on the sale of flavored electronic cigarettes and nicotine e-liquids. The ban went into effect immediately after the council’s vote. “It is undeniable that vaping companies are deliberately using flavors like bubblegum, Cap’n Crunch and cotton candy to get young people hooked on e-cigarettes — it’s a public health crisis and it ends today,” Cuomo said. “New York is not waiting for the federal

costly, unhealthy and potentially deadly lifelong habits.” Claire Parde, executive director of the Healthcare Consortium, based in Hudson, said she was pleased with the state’s decision, saying the products are specifically designed to attract young people. “The use of candy-like flavors with catchy names has been a very effective marketing tool, leading to a rapid rise in e-cigarette use, particularly among kids, who often don’t understand or underestimate the dangers, including serious health issues and addiction, associated with their use,” Parde said.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is expected on Wednesday to formally revoke California’s authority to set auto emissions rules that are stricter than federal standards, taking a major step forward in its wide-ranging attack on government efforts to fight climate change. The formal abolishment of one of California’s signature environmental policies — tailpipe pollution is the largest source of greenhouse-gas emissions in the United States — will be announced Wednesday afternoon at the Washington headquarters of the Environmental Protection Agency, according to two people familiar with the matter. President Donald Trump at the time will be traveling in California, where he is scheduled to attend fundraisers in Los Angeles and Silicon Valley. Lawyers said the action takes the administration into uncharted legal territory in its battle with the state, which has vowed to fight the change all the way to the Supreme Court. “This is unprecedented and a tremendously big deal,” said Richard L. Revesz, a professor of environmental law at New York University, noting that no administration has ever revoked a state’s authority to regulate its own air quality. In a speech Tuesday, Andrew Wheeler, the head of the EPA, said, “We embrace federalism and the role of the states, but federalism does not mean that one state can dictate standards for the nation.” The attack on California is only the latest in a broad array of efforts to weaken climate change regulations by a president who has repeatedly expressed skepticism about the scientific consensus that global warming is human-caused. The administration plans to weaken auto emissions standards nationwide, has rolled back rules governing coal-burning power plants and eased restrictions on energy companies governing leaks of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. A revocation of the California waiver would have national significance. Thirteen other states follow California’s tighter standards, together representing roughly a third of the national auto market. Legal experts said that if Trump’s move was ultimately upheld by the Supreme Court, it could permanently block

states from regulating vehicle greenhouse-gas pollution. If it was rejected by the Supreme Court, it would allow states to set separate tailpipe pollution standards from those set by the federal government. The outcome could split the U.S. auto market, with some states adhering to stricter pollution standards than others. For automakers, that would be a nightmare. Opponents of the move noted that weakening California’s authority on emissions is directly at odds with the administration’s position on other vital issues — such as gun restrictions and abortion laws — that individual states have the right to set their own rules. “Trump has married his administration-wide hostility to the environment to his personal vendetta against California,” said Dan Becker, director of the Safe Climate Campaign, an advocacy group. A spokesman for the EPA did not respond to an email requesting comment. In his speech to the National Automobile Dealers Association, Wheeler said the administration would soon be moving ahead with a single national vehicle pollution standard, suggesting that it would include the California revocation. The move has been widely expected since last summer, when the Trump administration unveiled its draft plan to roll back the strict federal fuel economy standards put in place by the

Obama administration. That draft Trump rule also included a plan to revoke the state’s legal waiver — granted to California under the 1970 Clean Air Act — allowing it to set tougher statelevel standards than those put forth by the federal government. Xavier Becerra, the attorney general of California, said the state intends to strike back with a lawsuit. “While the White House clings to the past, automakers and American families embrace cleaner cars,” he wrote in an email. He called the tougher standards “achievable, science-based, and a boon for hardworking American families and public health.” In recent months, the administration’s broader weakening of nationwide auto-emissions standards has become plagued with delays as staff members struggled to prepare legal, technical or scientific justifications for it. As a result, the White House decided to proceed with just one piece of its plan — the move to strip California of its authority to set tougher standards — while delaying its wider strategy, according to these people. The administration’s plans have been further complicated because major automakers have told the White House that they do not want such an aggressive rollback. In July, four automakers formalized their opposition to Trump’s plans by signing a deal with California to comply with tighter emissions standards if the broader rollback goes through.

Trump, who was blindsided and angered by that announcement, according to two people familiar with the matter, wanted to press forward with a policy that would punish California. “It’s clear that the president felt very strongly about this,” said Thomas J. Pyle, the president of the Institute for Energy Research, a think tank that supports fossil fuels, who advised Trump’s 2016 campaign. “The actions of California and the other auto companies probably firmed up or hardened the president’s resolve on this issue, so here we go.” The Obama-era tailpipe pollution rules that the administration hopes to weaken would require automakers to build vehicles that achieve an average fuel economy of 54.5 mpg by 2025, cutting about 6 billion tons of carbon dioxide pollution over the lifetimes of those vehicles. The proposed Trump rule would lower the requirement to about 37 mpg, allowing for most of that pollution to be emitted. White House officials have been eager to move quickly to revoke California’s authority to set its own standards because they want the opportunity to defend the effort in the Supreme Court before the end of Trump’s first term. The thinking goes that if a Democrat were to be elected president in 2020, the federal government would be unlikely to defend revocation of the waiver in the high court.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Tropical Storm Jerry formed early Wednesday and is continuing to gain strength with the forecaster’s expectation of becoming a hurricane by Thursday night or Friday morning during the storm’s westward journey, according to the National Hurricane Center’s 11 a.m. EDT update. Jerry’s maximum sustained winds increased to 50 mph Wednesday morning and picked up its forward motion speed to 14 mph, the NHC said. The system will be considered a Category 1 hurricane when the winds begin blowing at 74 mph. The tropical storm is heading west-northwest toward the Leeward Islands and is expected to arrive Thursday night as a hurricane. Jerry is expected to pass north

of Puerto Rico Saturday, the NHC said. Computer forecasts project that the storm could spare the Caribbean with the development of Category 3 Hurricane Humberto which is heading north and is expected to pull Jerry toward its direction. But Jerry’s outer bands could still bring rain and wind to areas such as Puerto Rico. Jerry’s tropical-storm-force winds extend up to 45 miles from the center. The storm’s “general motion is expected to continue during the next three to four days. Afterward, a northwest to northnorthwestward turn ... is expected,” the hurricane center said in its discussion about the storm. In the Gulf of Mexico, Tropical Storm Imelda formed Tuesday before quickly downgrading into a depression with maximum sustained winds of 30 mph.

Imelda is moving at 7 mph into the eastern parts of Texas. The system is projected to bring 6 to 12 inches of rainfall with isolated maximum amounts of 18 inches to Houston and Galveston areas.

Barrett calls for audit of broadband providers By Amanda Purcell Columbia-Greene Media

ALBANY — Lawmakers are urging the state to audit broadband and high speed internet service providers as many homes and businesses remain unserved even as the state’s Broadband For All rollout deadlines loom or, in some cases, have rolled by. Assemblywoman Didi Barrett, D-106, who represents parts of Columbia and Dutchess counties, sent a letter to state Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli last week urging his office to evaluate broadband providers’ compliance with state agreements to provide high-speed internet access to communities statewide. Assemblywoman Didi Barrett, D-106. About $500 million from the state was set aside as part of Gov.

reliant on online forms and the Census data is used to help determine a wide range of decisions, including allocation of funding, legislative redistricting and congressional representation, according to Barrett’s office. “New York state will be at a severe disadvantage come next year if thousands of people can’t get online to fill out Census forms,” Barrett said. “We must act now to hold broadband providers accountable, identify the gaps in service across the state and show New Yorkers that we’re doing everything we can to bring them this essential service.” Reilly predicted there will be small holes in the broadband fabric in Gallatin due to the census data issue, but he said the Broadband Program Office is aware.

“This ongoing Spectrum issue, combined with the FCC changes in Census data mapping from a “if one house served-all must be assumed to be served” approach to a “who is actually getting service” approach, constitute the holes in the County mapping at present,” Reilly said. “This has prompted calls for both greater ‘phase four’ funding for Columbia County and for transparency as to Spectrum’s plans for real expansion hook ups beyond ‘legacy’ customer upgrades.” The Broadband For All program was divided into three phases and later added funding through two other FCC agreements for nearly $225 million. After four years of anticipation, it is surprising to see the new lines strung, trucks going up and down blocks and to open an internet browser and not have to get coffee while it loads, Reilly said. “We have come a long way, and the state program, I feel, has constructed a historic government-private company partnership to build broadband decades earlier than it was economically feasible to do so,” Reilly said. “We need a final push to close gaps and get a true picture of Spectrum’s expansion if these are the keys to achieving the governor’s initial goal of 100% high speed coverage in Columbia County in the next year or so.” To reach reporter Amanda Purcell, call 518-828-1616 ext. 2500, or send an email to apurcell@thedailymail. net, or tweet to @amandajpurcell.

just before police arrived at the scene. No similar incidents have been reported to police in the past few days and the case is not linked to any other known assaults in the city, Moore said. “It’s rare, and we’re working really hard on it,” Moore said. “It is an unusual incident.” The woman, whose name was not released, sustained serious injuries and was taken by the Greenport Rescue Squad to Columbia Memorial Hospital. The woman was later transferred to Albany Medical Center for additional treatment. Her injuries are not considered life-threatening, police said. The woman will take some time to recover, Moore said.

OUR VIEW

You’ve come a long way, baby Consider the historical context of the first iteration of Columbia-Greene Community College. It opened in Athens less than a month after the dawning of the Woodstock generation. The Vietnam War raged on, a year after the Tet offensive. And, yes, the erstwhile hapless New York Mets were just weeks away from winning the World Series. Columbia-Greene Community College opened its doors at its first home on Sept. 15, 1969. It was, to many in those days, a social experiment doomed to fail. Naysayers called it a glorified high school, pointing to only 350 full-time and part-time students and 18 teachers as proof. To top it off, it was located in a Gothic-style school complex with little access or parking. On Tuesday afternoon, Columbia-Greene Community College, that old glorified high school, now in Greenport, seven miles from its starting point, celebrated 50 years of quality education, the arts and technology, not to mention a passel of awards, recently culminating in being named the top community college in the state for achievement in student financing. In the argot of 1969, you’ve come a long way, baby. Students, faculty and staff who comprised the first graduating class of

Columbia-Greene Community College a half-century ago turned out Tuesday to recall memories and share in the history. And campus life? Here is a brief, comical but telling synopsis of the early days. “It was in an abandoned elementary school in Athens, and when they opened the doors, a ton of dust came pouring out,” said Professor Emeritus Diane Koenig, who taught English. But when they left the doors open for the building to air out, all the neighborhood dogs rushed inside, Koenig added. However, it was the economic impact on Athens and what the college did for the community that were stunning. “Businesses flourished. Grocery stores, bars — they were all busy. What it brought to the community was its spirit. Athens was a blue-collar town, and all of a sudden, we had the opportunity to get an education here,” former student Philip Miller of Athens said. Through 50 years in Athens and later in Greenport, social norms, programs, students and teachers have changed at ColumbiaGreene Community College, but the opportunity to get an education has remained constant. Congratulations, Columbia-Greene. You’ve come a long way. Here’s to 50 more years.

ANOTHER VIEW

What is the main purpose of the multiple lawsuits seeking to hold the pharmaceutical industry liable for the epidemic of opioid addiction and death that has swept the country over the past two decades? By filing for bankruptcy and offering to distribute billions of dollars among jurisdictions that agree to settle their claims against it, Purdue Pharma has implied that the plaintiffs are really interested in one thing, money. And undoubtedly they are: Purdue’s cash could do a lot of good for victims of opioid addiction, especially if it does indeed get spent on addiction treatment and on preventing new addiction, as opposed to being diverted for general purposes as much of the nationwide tobacco lawsuit settlement was. Nevertheless, the plaintiffs also seek justice. They want accountability, and they want it to be not only corporate but also personal, including members of the Sackler family that controlled Purdue and got fantastically wealthy from sales of its signature opioid painkiller, OxyContin. Purdue’s proposal, which includes no new admission of wrongdoing, and which could be funded in large part from the proceeds of spinning off a Purdue international subsidiary, as well as future OxyContin sales, does not necessarily deliver that. Nor does it deliver the retrospective transparency — full disclosure of Purdue’s internal practices and procedures — that many of the plaintiffs demand. OxyContin is, after

all, the product whose aggressive and — as the company admitted in a 2007 plea bargain — sometimes illegal marketing has been plausibly blamed for igniting the epidemic. The United States, and other countries, will be better equipped to prevent a similar disaster in the future if we know, in detail, all the causes of this one. And so while attorneys general for 24 states and five U.S. territories have accepted the Purdue proposal, we sympathize with the equivalent number of attorneys general who have so far refused it. Certainly we can understand why they would not want to settle before understanding the full nature and purpose of the $1 billion that members of the Sackler family shuffled among trusts and overseas bank accounts, via wire transfer, in recent years. New York state documented the transactions after issuing a subpoena for company records; a spokesman for the family has called them “perfectly legal.” There is a risk for these states, as the lawyers for Purdue and the Sacklers undoubtedly contemplated in structuring their settlement offer as they did. Once a judge approves the company’s bankruptcy petition, all unsettled lawsuits are frozen, and the plaintiffs in those cases go to the back of the line for a share of the company’s resources — while those who do agree to settle get paid first. The holdouts may, in the end, win no verdict, and receive no payment. But the search for justice may justify that risk.

Hong Kong stands athwart an increasingly nasty regime HONG KONG — Lee Cheuk-yan, unlike most Americans, remembers and reveres Lane Kirkland, a hero of the first Cold War. During 16 years as leader of the AFL-CIO, 1979-1995, Kirkland gave crucial support, both material and moral, to Lech Walesa and the Solidarity movement in Poland, where it was an early tremor in the political earthquake that ended European communism. Here, in this island city at the other end of the Eurasian land mass, a city that has become a flashpoint in Cold War 2.0, Lee is lending support to a fluid, shapeshifting protest movement that has no Lech Walesa. This lack is a strength and a weakness. The movement has no leader with whom the local government, which is an appendage of Beijing and hence of the Chinese Communist Party, might negotiate. Fortunately, however, a movement without a head cannot be easily decapitated, which otherwise probably would be Beijing’s default position. This thought experiment became the premise of a 2018 novel (Chloe Benjamin’s “The Immortalists”): If you knew when you were going to die, how would this change how you choose to live? Hong Kong’s young people, from whom come most of the demonstrations’ participants and energy, know that the clock is ticking for their city. It is 22 years into what was supposed to be a 50-year grace period. In 1997, Britain ended 156 years of responsibility for Hong Kong, transferring it to China. So, just eight years after the Tiananmen massacre, there began what was supposed to be half a century of Hong Kong’s exceptionalism preserved, after which the city might be gracefully melded with a mellowed mainland. Just 22 years later, this hope has been as refuted as the 1989 hope that

WASHINGTON POST

GEORGE F.

WILL the massacre would be followed by a less authoritarian, because more secure, Beijing regime. Lee was in a hotel overlooking Tiananmen Square when the tanks rolled in. He later organized Hong Kong’s memorial museum, which is overseen by the same organization that facilitates commemorations every June 4. As a human bridge between the first Cold War and the next one, he knows that this city today is not like East Berlin in 1953, or Budapest in 1956, or Prague in 1968. In those places, people who were in despotism’s firm grip rebelled and quickly learned how firm the grip was. Hong Kong is spectacularly vibrant and prosperous because it perennially — since 1970 — holds the top position in the Economic Freedom of the World rankings. When demonstrators here have waved colonial-era flags and shouted “Reclaim Hong Kong,” they were not nostalgic for colonial restoration. Rather, this was largely a cry for the status quo. Largely, until now. Now, however, less and less. As a young Hong Kong woman studying in Boston recently wrote in her college newspaper, “I am from a city owned by a country that I don’t belong to.” Residents of this city, especially young residents, are decreasingly likely to think of themselves as Chinese rather than as Hong Kongers. In 1997, 47% of residents were “proud to be a citizen of China.” Now only 38% are. Among those

18 to 29 years old, 55% have a negative opinion of the Beijing regime, which has sown discord and is reaping disaffection. The 1992 United StatesHong Kong Policy Act commits America, as the State Department notes, to “promote Hong Kong’s prosperity, autonomy, and way of life.” Its “way of life” is a multifaceted condition that rests on freedom and universal suffrage. A recent Hong Kong demonstration called for passage by the U.S. Congress of legislation that would impose sanctions on mainland Chinese or Hong Kong officials who abridge the city’s freedoms, and it would require annual review of the special economic privileges Hong Kong gets from America. This would make U.S. relations with Hong Kong more like those with Taiwan, which receives substantial U.S. military and other assistance to buttress its independence, even as U.S. policy adheres to the prudential fiction that Taiwan is something it will not soon, if ever, be — part of “one China.” But Hong Kong could become yet another casualty of the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, which made many Americans comprehensively skeptical of U.S. attempts, in the words of President John Kennedy’s inaugural address, “to assure the survival and the success of liberty” around the world. Hong Kong, however, unlike Iraq, has a vibrant democratic culture and civil society. What is required of U.S. policy is not “nation building” but sustaining the reality of a polity that, without claiming or seeking nationhood, simply refuses to be absorbed into the domain of an increasingly nasty regime.

Trump administration circulating gun background checks proposal Laura Litvan Bloomberg

Attorney General William Barr is circulating a proposal to senators on expanding background checks for firearms purchases, but lawmakers say they still don’t know where President Donald Trump stands. Sen. Pat Toomey, a Pennsylvania Republican and supporter of closing some loopholes in the background check system, said he spoke to Barr about it late Tuesday. Barr “has developed an idea that has a lot of merit and is a very thoughtful contribution to this whole conversation,” Toomey said. “There are a lot of details that we still need to flesh out. But it’s a very constructive addition.” Negotiations on potential new firearms restrictions spurred by mass shootings last month in Texas and Ohio have been stymied while Republicans look to the White House for any idea of what the president would sign. Toomey didn’t answer questions about whether the president backs the proposal. Eric Ueland, the White House’s top lobbyist, said the proposal shouldn’t be seen as an endorsement by Trump for a particular approach but is part of a broader effort to reach out to lawmakers for their ideas. “The president has asked us to talk and listen to prospective views, opinions, ideas and concepts from members of Congress and that’s what we continue to do,” Ueland said. He declined to say who authored the proposal and what type of feedback the administration is getting about it. Asked when Trump will decide what he’ll support,

Ueland said, “It’s the president’s call.” Sen. Chris Murphy, a Democratic senator taking part in the negotiations, said he’s aware of the proposal being circulated by Barr and will be speaking with the administration about it Wednesday. “We’re actively talking with the White House today,” said Murphy of Connecticut. “Talks are ramping up, not ramping down.” Murphy added that he hasn’t yet determined whether he would support the ideas Barr is circulating, but that it generally reflects elements of 2013 legislation sponsored by Toomey and Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia that would extend federal criminal background checks to purchases made on the Internet and at gun shows. Trump, who’s been briefed by aides on some of the options being discussed, has publicly stated support for expanded background checks. But he also has shifted his position, most recently expressing doubt about whether they would be effective in curbing gun violence. He has previously threatened to veto a House bill that would extend background checks to sales between individuals. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell reiterated Tuesday that he won’t advance any legislation without knowing whether the president would sign it. Other ideas under discussion include legislation encouraging states to adopt “red flag” laws that allow courts to issue protective orders taking firearms from people determined to pose a danger to themselves or others.

Trump asks US Treasury to increase sanctions on Iran By Alexa Díaz Los Angeles Times

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he has directed the U.S. Treasury to “substantially increase” sanctions on Iran amid tensions over attacks on major Saudi Arabian oil facilities. “I have just instructed the Secretary of the Treasury to substantially increase sanctions on the country of Iran,” Trump tweeted. The president did not go into further detail, and it is unclear what the sanctions would include. The decision is the latest escalation after Iran warned the U.S. that it would retaliate “immediately” if Tehran is targeted over a weekend attack on Saudi oil installations after the White House indicated that Iran was behind air strikes that took out 5% of global supplies, causing oil prices to surge. Trump emphasized Monday he wanted to avoid a new Middle East war even as he stressed that the U.S. military is ready for action. Even so, he said he was in “no rush” to decide on a response. Iran has denied responsibility for the attacks and said

officials including Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo were engaged in “maximum deceit” in response to allegations from the White House. Iran also ruled out a potential meeting between Trump and Iran’s president, Hassan Rouhani, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly next week in New York. The U.N. meeting had been considered an opportunity for direct talks between the leaders that could resolve the crisis amid a summer of heightened tensions after the U.S. exited

the Iran nuclear deal last year and urged other world powers to do the same. White House national security officials briefed Trump on what Secretary of Defense Mark Esper called an “unprecedented attack” on production at Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s flagship oil company, which U.S. officials believe involved explosives-laden drones and possibly cruise missiles. The strike affected some 5.7 million barrels per day and halved the kingdom’s oil production, according to Saudi Energy

Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman. “Amid all the calls for deescalation, Iran has now launched an unprecedented attack on the world’s energy supply,” Pompeo tweeted. “We call on all nations to publicly and unequivocally condemn Iran’s attacks.” Trump’s announcement on Wednesday came shortly before the president named Robert O’Brien, the special envoy for hostage affairs at the State Department, his next national security advisor following the abrupt ousting of John Bolton last week. O’Brien will be the fourth person to serve in the position under Trump at a time when foreign policy challenges are mounting for Trump, including the attack on Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities. (L.A.

Fed cuts interest rates by another quarter point Jeanna Smialek The New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point Wednesday, its second move since late July, as it tries to insulate the economy against rising political risks and the fallout from a global slowdown. A growing number of officials expect one more reduction this year, based on economic projections released after the meeting, in line with investor and economist expectations. But the Fed’s announcement Wednesday is unlikely to appease President Donald Trump, who has been pushing the central bank to cut interest rates to zero — or even into negative territory. The Fed’s policy interest rate is now set in a range of 1.75% to 2%, and not a single official sees it falling lower than 1.5% to 1.75% through the end of 2022. While risks cloud the horizon, economic data still look OK, creating a complicated backdrop for the central bank. Businesses are hiring, and consumers are spending, but Trump’s trade war and prospects of an unruly British withdrawal from the European Union have markets on edge. Meanwhile, inflation has been stuck below the Fed’s target, giving officials room to lower rates without worrying about runaway price gains. Policymakers “will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook and will act as appropriate to

sustain the expansion,” according to the Fed’s post-meeting statement, which was little changed from July. While the median Fed official expects rates to stay at the current level through the end of the year, 7 of 17 expect another rate cut — compared with zero when the central bank last released economic projections, in June. That suggests that momentum is shifting toward additional accommodation. But officials are increasingly divided over what happens next. Three members of the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee voted against the decision to cut rates this month. James Bullard, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, wanted a more drastic half-point rate

cut. Esther George and Eric Rosengren, who head the Fed’s Kansas City, Missouri, and Boston branches, thought that the central bank should keep borrowing costs steady. That serves to underline the fraught situation facing the Fed — one made more so by political pressures. While the Fed operates independently of the White House and answers to Congress, Trump has made a regular habit of criticizing Chair Jerome Powell and his colleagues. “The Federal Reserve should get our interest rates down to ZERO, or less,” Trump tweeted Sept. 11. “It is only the naïveté of Jay Powell and the Federal Reserve that doesn’t allow us to do what other countries are already doing.”

Autumn is in the air; remembering the fair Another gloomy Monday after a beautiful Sunday! Trying to remember if it makes it better to be in school when it’s gloomy out, or does it make one too sleepy to concentrate? The drone of the teacher’s voice, the stillness of the classroom. I’ve been trying to get some paperwork done on my dining room table, but here’s the conundrum: My chandelier bulbs are slowly burning out — only two left. I bought LED replacements, but you can’t mix bulb types. Do I continue working in the dim light, or throw caution to the wind and replace all the bulbs? My thrifty self says wait, my logical self says I have to see. I guess it depends on how much I need the light. It’s time to get your garden harvested. Pick your apples, peaches and pears. It’s almost time to start raking and prepping for the cold months. Make sure your oil burners and chimneys are cleaned. It was a beautiful day for the tractor show in Ashland. Our “visitors” are starting to come to the slopes for the sky rides. Yes, you can definitely feel autumn in the air.

AS I REMEMBER IT Fall harvest season brings one thing to mind: It’s fair time again. When I was in school, the Cobleskill Fair was held the first week of September. The county fairs were scheduled about a week apart so the clubs could compete in as many as possible. There was the Altamont Fair, Chatham Fair and of course the biggie: the New York State Fair in Syracuse. My family always went to the Cobleskill Fair. We were always in awe of the grand stand with all of the shows, the fairway with the pulsating lights, barkers, games and rides, the “freak shows,” the “girly shows” (you must be 18 to enter, don’t try to sneak in). The food booths that intoxicated you with the smells. We would stand and look at the Ferris wheel reaching for the sky. Listened to the screams from the tilt-a-wheel and the swings. The merry-go-round with the calliope music playing and the painted horses luring you to jump on. The entry fee was small. Children’s Day was free, and the price of a ride was no more than a quarter. We had the same red Ford truck I always talk about with seats that my father built, in the back. Mother would pack a picnic lunch and off we would go. We parked on the grounds

and made sure everyone knew where it was, then all who were old enough went running off to explore and enjoy, on their own. Oh, as a tyke you couldn’t wait for the day when you could go off without your mother. At noon, you were expected to return for lunch, and you’d better be there, or you lost your solo privileges. Sandwiches were divvied up, juice or iced tea down, then off you would go again. Father always went to see the animals, what new breeds, how they were cared for. Mother went to the home crafts booths: cooking, baking, sewing, quilting. What new recipes could she try? How did her food compare to the ribbon winners? The kids ran to try their luck on the midway. Who can knock over a milk bottle with a baseball? Who was strong enough to ring the bell? Who could bring home a prize? At dusk we all met back at the truck so we could go to the grand stand for the show. It was all so magical. The sights and sounds surrounded you in the dark. I remember coming home. Everyone would be asleep except my father, who was driving, and me. We would sing, or tell rhymes as he loved to do. It was such a nice, special way to get home. Finally home, we would jump into bed, dirty feet and all. Tomorrow would be just another day: back to school, back to doing chores, farm work, housework. But the excitement of our day off would be there to talk about for a long time.

Busy summer winding down By Abby and Gabby For Columbia-Greene Media

PRATTSVILLE — Some congratulatory news for Gerald Jaeger. Jaeger, 79, won the Senior Christman’s Cup of six rounds of golf. If memory serves me, I think Gerald has been a winner of various golf tournaments. We send Gerald good wishes for everything in his life. More news: Six cousins, representing six generations, of the Soule clan got together to repair the fallen tombstone of Harrison and Minnie Powell Soule at the Little West Kill Cemetery near Bear Pen Mountain. They are Stanley III, Stanley II, John Giordano, Clippy, Mike, Clarence the Elder Soule and friend Dave McGowan. A new base was put in and the fallen monument was set back on it. The Soules are descendants of Pilgrim George Soule of Plymouth, Massachusetts. Patty and Schuyler Minew had house guests for three days last week. Patty’s sister Peggy and husband Ken from Maine stopped by for some sisterly bonding. Peggy and Ken had been to Ohio to visit Ken’s family and made sure they visited Patty and Schuyler. Patty, Peggy and Ken enjoyed lunch at the Windham Diner on Thursday. The Maine visitors left for home Friday. Jim and Roxie King, in recognition of their 50th anniversary, journeyed to Prince Edward Island. And yes, you guessed right, they had to withstand the onslaught of Hurricane Dorian. Jim just shook his head but Roxie said she never

wanted to go through anything like that again. The Kings spent their honeymoon on PEI and make the trip there every decade to celebrate the original trip. We will all have to be around to see their 60th anniversary trip. Hasn’t this just been the busiest summer ever? And as we start fall there is the Zadock Pratt Museum Dinner on Sept. 28 at Villa Vosilla in Tannersville. Call 518-299-3395 or email prattmuseum@hotmail.com for reservations. Before the evening you can spend the day at the Northern Catskills Hunting and Wildlife Expo Inc. at the West Kill Community Hall. There will be a Chinese auction, raffles and food. Proceeds to the benefit of Wounded Veterans to enjoy turkey hunting, with all costs covered. For more information, call Carol Herdman 518-291-7043, Mary Gail Sutton, 518-299-3102 or Amelia Osborn at 588-9896408. Both organizations are worthy of our support. Success to both endeavors. Feel better wishes go out to Pat Bifolco. Belated get-well wishes go out to veteran Ken Clark, thank you for your service. Return to good health sentiments to Fritzie Schmidt of Hunter. Tom Dignam has the sniffles. Is it possible for someone of his age to get the sniffles?

News from Jim’s Great American: There will be a change in the staff due to Tim’s, what we think is an early, retirement. Some years ago when an elderly lady had a flat tire on Main Street, Tim stepped up to do the appropriate and gentlemanly thing — he changed the tire. Two younger and larger men had said “no” to this request. Thanks again, Tim; you will be missed. Our Ashleigh Jaeger with the great smile and hidden escapades (sorry Mom Darcy) is now at Gilboa School on the teaching staff. Bob and Suzette Stuppert Donisan are home from their European trip. They visited Romania and Germany, Bob and Suzette’s countries of origin. Bob got to visit his friend from 50 years ago and Suzette visited her father Phil’s cousin. Welcome home. Happy birthday to Cody and Brandon Brainerd and Jim Briggs on Sept. 22. Debbie Case Brainerd is wished a happy birthday on Sept. 24. Big happy birthday greetings to Dan Dymond on Sept. 27. Happy anniversary to Lila and Dan Rikard on Sept. 21. On Sept. 24 we send happy anniversary greetings to Ann and Hank Oliver and Mike and Connie Constable. Happy anniversary to Becky and Wes Benson.

I’m setting this in the 1920s with period costumes and making full use of the amenities on the island, including outdoor archways, doors and barred windows. Speaking of windows,

Beekeeper and interloper clash in ‘Honeyland’ By Raymond Pignone Columbia-Greene Media

To make “Honeyland,” directors Tamara Kotevska and Ljubomir Stefanov took a small crew and spent three years filming Hatidze Murakova, a 54-year-old beekeeper fostering her hives which she concealed in the walls of ruins and along narrow rock ledges in the mountains of North Macedonia. The shooting schedule, using digital cameras, was long because the crew had to travel 1,000 miles every few weeks to the nearest city to restock supplies. The result is an extraordinary example of the kind of documentary that can now be made with equipment so smooth and portable that it can record events with startling clarity and detail. Like the dcoumentaries made by Frederick Wiseman and Errol Morris, American directors fully committed to the recording of facts, “Honeyland” is stunning in its pared-down simplicity yet it is ruthless about the complex social and economic conditions it depicts. Although it is the winner of prizes at more

than a dozen film festivals from Sarasota to Sarajevo, it can’t be subjected to criticism except on a purely narrative level. Hatidze lives in a hut with her cats and takes care of her mother, Nazife, an 85-year-old woman who is half-blind and in failing health, yet still manages to get under her daughter’s skin. After Hatidze’s siblings died, she turned to bees for comfort and then for a purpose. Her life is focused on beekeeping and harvesting their honey to take to the city to sell to merchants for a nifty 16 euros a jar. Kotevska and Stefanov set up a dramatic framework when

Hussein Sam arrives in a pickup truck with his large family, a herd of unruly cows and a trailer in tow. Hussein, who is looking for work, moves in next door and is taken by Hatidze’s gracious and welcoming manner, but he is mainly interested in her bees. Seeing beekeeping as a means to a quick profit, Hussein develops his own hives, produces honey and starts to compete with Hatidze. Without narration and background music, the movie records the result. Hussein works hard but doesn’t appreciate the nuances of beekeeping. He takes advantage of Hatidze’s

kindness and essentially hijacks her bees to save his own. In the process, he destroys his hives and Hatidze’s, leaving her with nothing. There are a few weaknesses in the presentation. The script, written by the directors, has a choppy dramatic structure, likely the result of the movie’s lengthy shooting time and interruptions caused by the necessary absences of the crew. Because of these irregularities, the events in the narrative are sometimes difficult to follow. There is fascination as human nature is observed. Hatidze, Hussein and the others we see are real people, but there is no indication that the presence of the cameras prompted over-reaction by anyone. Professional actors registering the emotions we see in this movie is unthinkable. “Honeyland” is an exquisite movie. It is beautifully photographed and edited and, like the lives it records, it exists in a world apart, fiercely independent and uncluttered by time, beyond the world we see and know.

TSL Movies September 19 September 26 n Raise Hell: the Life & Times of Molly Ivins — The story of media firebrand Molly Ivins, six feet of Texas trouble who took on Good Old Boy corruption wherever she found it. Her razor sharp wit left both sides of the aisle laughing, and craving ink in her columns. She knew the Bill of Rights was in peril, and said “polarizing people is a good way to win an election and a good way to wreck a country.” Molly’s words have proved prescient. Now it’s up to us to raise hell! 2019. 1h33m. 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 Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am — An artful and intimate meditation on the life and works of the legendary storyteller and Nobel prize-winner. From her childhood in the steel town of Lorain, Ohio, to ‘70s-era book tours with Muhammad Ali, from the front lines with Angela Davis to her own riverfront writing room, Toni Morrison leads an assembly of her peers, critics, and colleagues on an exploration of race, America, history, and the human condition as seen through the prism of her own literature. Inspired to write because no one took a “little black girl” seriously, Morrison reflects on her lifelong deconstruction of the master narrative. Woven together with a rich collection of art, history, literature, and personality, the film includes discussions about her many critically acclaimed works, including novels The Bluest Eye, Sula, and Song of Solomon, her role as an editor of iconic African-American literature and her time teaching at Princeton University. 2019. 2h. n The Nightingale — Set during the colonization of Australia in 1825. Clare, an Irish convict, is desperate to be free of her abusive master, Lieutenant Hawkins, who refuses to release her from his charge. Clare’s husband retaliates, and she becomes the victim of a harrowing crime at the hands of the lieutenant and his cronies. When British authorities fail to deliver justice, Clare decides to pursue Hawkins. Unable to find compatriots for her journey, she is forced to enlist the help of a young Aboriginal tracker, Billy, who, grudgingly, takes her through the rugged wilderness to track down Hawkins. The terrain and the prevailing hostilities are frightening, as fighting between the original inhabitants of the land and its colonizers plays out in what is now known as The Black War. Features sexual and physical violence. 2018. 2h16m. n Sword of Trust — Mel (Marc Maron) is a cantankerous pawnshop owner in Alabama who spends most of his time swindling customers while trying and failing to get his man-child employee Nathaniel (Jon Bass) to do any work. When Cynthia (Jillian Bell) and her wife Mary (Michaela Watkins) try to hawk a Civil War-era sword inherited from Cynthia’s recently deceased grandfather, he tries to get the better of them. The sword, however, comes with a convoluted report from Cynthia’s grandfather claiming the relic to be proof the South actually won the war. It isn’t long before the coveted “prover item” draws the attention of overzealous conspiracy theorists and the two duos have to join forces in order to sell the sword to the highest bidder. 2018. 1h29m. n The Nightingale — Set during the colonization of Australia in 1825. Clare, an Irish convict, is desperate to be free of her abusive master, Lieutenant Hawkins, who refuses to release her from his charge.

known as The Black War. Features sexual and physical violence. 2018. 2h16m. n What You Gonna Do When the World’s on Fire? — The story of a community of black people in the American South during the summer 2017, when a string of brutal killings of young African American men sent shockwaves throughout the country. An examination of the state of race in America, this documentary is an intimate portrait into the lives of those who struggle for justice, dignity, and survival in a country not on their side. 2018. 2h3m. 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.

Fraud From A1

“I would have offered to take the paperwork down for Mr. Poelker,” Hoyt said. Former Greene County Legislator Lori Torgersen, a Democrat, asked Hoyt to consider taking a stand with Bove and request an investigation for the sake of democracy. Hoyt thought that the issue should be handled by the Democratic party.

typically until they pay a ransom. They try to invade computers by convincing users to click on emails that disguise their identities and intentions. These attacks can also result in the confiscation of private information like health records,

E-cigs From A1

Zucker presented the reasons for the ban. “Nearly 40% of 12th grade students and 27% of high school students are now using e-cigarettes and this increase is largely driven by the flavored e-liquids,” Zucker said. E-cigarette use among high schoolers has skyrocketed over the past few years, going from 10.5% in 2014 to 27.4% in 2018, an increase of 160%, he said. Karen dePeyster, senior program director of the Tobacco-Free Action of Columbia and Greene Counties, said the ban could help reduce vaping among young people. “Banning the sale of sweet, fruity and other flavors is a hugely important step in addressing the epidemic of nicotine addiction among teens and young adults that e-cigarette use is causing,” dePeyster said. Flavored products are a big part of the draw for new users, and particularly younger ones, Zucker noted. “The flavoring is a key youth marketing strategy of the vaping/aerosol industry, just as it is in the cigarette, cigar and smokeless tobacco markets,” Zucker told the council. The chemicals used to make the flavored liquids “have been approved by the FDA for ingestion, but not inhalation,” Zucker said.

“Are you saying this is a matter of party and that trumps justice?” Torgersen asked. Hoyt maintained that he did not want to involve himself in another party’s issues. “Are you upset as a human being?” Torgersen asked. “Are you upset as a potential candidate for a public office?” Poelker may have wronged his people, Hoyt said. “But I am not interjecting myself.” Shuster said she felt personally wronged by Hoyt’s party politics. In March, Shuster attended an interview for endorsement

by the Independence Party. Shuster is a registered Republican but ran for the town council seat on the Democratic line. Hoyt looked shocked to see her, Shuster said. “Did you see any other Republicans there?” Hoyt said. “You’re the chair of the committee and it’s your responsibility to tell the people you represent that are running for an elected position [about the interviews],” Shuster said. “It is your responsibility as the chair. You’ve been the chair for years.”

Hoyt disagreed. “My responsibility as chair is to get Republicans elected,” he said. Several candidates including Robert Pelham, Robert Murray and Steve Walker were not informed of the interviews, Shuster said. “They couldn’t represent themselves because you didn’t tell them,” she said. Hoyt said he attended the Independence Party interview day to express his concern about Republicans seeking other parties’ endorsements to compete against each other.

“I do not split my party up,” Hoyt said. “I do not primary.” Shuster disagreed with this tactic. “I guess the difference is your concern is the Republican party and my concern is the town of Windham.” Hoyt said he did not go there seeking an endorsement for himself. “I told them I didn’t want their endorsement unless I got my own party’s line,” he said. “I told them I would bring down the winner of the caucus to ask for endorsement.” Shuster disagreed with

Hoyt’s procedure. “It’s not up to you, it’s an interview process,” she said. “Your competition should have been down there. You can’t answer for them.” Independence Party Chairman George Acker said Hoyt came to the interview seeking an endorsement for himself. “He was not interested in running against other Republican candidates for our line,” Acker said Tuesday. Acker did not recall Hoyt saying he would come back with the winner of the caucus.

birthdays and social security numbers, Schumer said. School districts have become a more popular target for hackers in recent years and has become a statewide issue. A ransomware attack destroyed the Watertown City School District’s servers on July 27, although the school never received a ransom message. No private information was compromised and no records

were lost. The Syracuse City School District was also attacked with ransomware that locked the district out of its systems in July, forcing it to pay $50,000, the senator said. Other victim school districts of cyberattacks in the state include the Rochester City School District, which was struck twice; the Holley Central School District, the Monroe–Woodbury

Central School District and Rhinebeck Central School District. Schools, however, have not been the only victims of recent attacks, as hackers continue to infiltrate government entities. “The entire city of Albany was attacked this March,” Schumer said. News of Schumer’s efforts excited Watertown City School District Superintendent

Patricia B. LaBarr, who said guidance from Homeland Security and the FBI could provide essential strategies for protecting against cyberattacks. Schools could implement strategies from these agencies into safety plans against cyberattacks, which the school district has been composing, she said. The district had to hire cybersecurity firm Anjolen, in

Utica, to help it recover, and it’s also received assistance from the Mohawk Regional Information Center. LaBarr said the school never faced a cybersecurity issue like the ransomware attack before, so having experts like the two firms, Homeland Security and the FBI to help is crucial for schools. “That’s a win if that comes to fruition,” she said.

The use of e-cigarettes, or vaping, has also led to a lung illness that doctors are trying to understand. To date, there have been seven deaths nationwide and 380 possible cases spread across 36 states and one U.S. territory, Zucker said. The number of illnesses was reported to be higher at one point, he said, but some of those were “possible” cases that were investigated and ruled out. Patients with the respiratory illness range in age from 14-69, Zucker said. “The data demonstrates the need for urgent action. We cannot wait for the legislative session to begin in January. We can’t wait for federal action,” Zucker said of the need for emergency measures. “New York state is the second state to propose, and the first to implement, a ban on flavors.” Banned flavors include fruit, chocolate, honey, vanilla, candy, cocoa, dessert-flavored and more. Unflavored, menthol and tobacco-flavored e-cigarettes will still be available to adult users, Zucker said. The ban will only apply to retailers, not users who already own flavored e-cigarettes. Retailers who violate the ban will face fines of up to $2,000 per violation, which is defined as each unit of flavored e-liquid or product containing e-liquid that is possessed, manufactured, sold or offered for sale, according to

the governor’s office. During the meeting, Dr. Glenn Martin, a member of the state council and associate dean of research at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, said the flavored products and “acute toxicity” of the additives that are causing illnesses appear to be unrelated. “They strike me as two separate issues,” Martin said. Zucker said both are problems that need to be dealt with. “There are two public health crises occurring. What we have is an issue of the contaminated products and the illnesses of now seven people who have died, and in the state of New York, we have 74 cases. That is one issue and we are working on it and researching what is causing it,” Zucker said. “However, there is a second issue and that is the issue that the marketing of e-cigarettes to the youth in the state of New York, and in fact across the country, is using these flavored products to entice young individuals to get addicted to nicotine, which is a dangerous substance that will end up having them addicted for life.” Another related issue is the sale of menthol-flavored tobacco products, which are especially popular among African-Americans. “Since the 1950s, the tobacco industry has targeted African-Americans with marketing for menthol combustible cigarettes, and African-American smokers, both adults and

youth, overwhelmingly prefer menthol cigarettes,” Zucker said at the meeting. There are plans for the Health Department to evaluate a ban on menthol flavors, according to Cuomo’s office. DePeyster said a ban on menthol and mint flavors would make the flavored product ban “more effective.” Parde agreed. “If other e-cigarette flavors are prohibited, but menthol isn’t, kids will simply migrate to using menthol e-cigarettes and we will not solve the public health crisis we now face,” Parde said. “Furthermore, the tobacco industry has a long history of targeting the African-American community with its menthol products, and exempting menthol will allow this predatory practice to continue.” A recommendation on menthol products is expected to be released within the next two weeks.

HUDSON — Thanks to a strong energy on offense, Coxsackie-Athens was able to chalk up a 5-1 Patroon Conference girls soccer victory over Hudson on Tuesday. Four players scored, sealing the win for the Indians. “It’s always nice to get the win,” Coxsackie-Athens head coach, Jackie Cashin said. Though her team earned the win; Cashin was critical of her team. “We have a lot to work on though, a lot to work on.” Kaitlyn Johnson led the C-A offense with two goals. Kali Burnell, Grace Bartels and

Amaya Rulison each had one goal. Bartels, Hannah Crown, Caroline Crown and Meghan Cenci each had one assist. When Cashin was asked about players who stand out, she had two players in mind. “I would say Hannah Crown is always my inside middle that works her tail off,” Cashin said, “I would say Amaya Rulison, today, did a pretty good job up top and was getting some good opportunities.” Coxsackie had 6 shots on the goal overall. C-A also had 13 corner kicks in the game. See SOCCER B6

Eli Manning’s legacy? Greatest quarterback in Giants history Tom Rock Newsday

No longer the starting quarterback for the Giants, Eli Manning can now assume his new role with the franchise as its greatest quarterback of all-time.

He’s held that title for a while, but it was always in the background. In the day-to-day, week-to-week churning of the NFL, Manning remained focused on trying to beat the upcoming opponent and make the

team better. Now, he and fans can fully embrace it. That legacy is no longer obscured by the losing, misguided decision-making, and ugly football that has marked the second half of his 16-year tenure with

the team. His connection to rosters that missed the playoffs in six of the last seven years and counting is no longer the most in-your-face part of his resume.

Severino’s return is stellar; Betances’ return unlikely James Wagner The New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — After inducing a double play to end a scoreless first inning, Luis Severino bounced off the mound with his usual swagger. A gold-colored chain swinging from his neck, Severino smacked his glove with his right hand. The New York Yankees’ best starting pitcher was back. In a 2019 season debut delayed by shoulder and latissimus dorsi injuries, Severino, 25, looked much like his old self Tuesday. He fired 97-mph fastballs past batters. His secondary pitches danced toward the plate. He spun four scoreless innings against the Los Angeles Angels and collected four strikeouts in an 8-0 Yankees win as he prepared for the playoffs. “It’s been a long road back, but I’m here now and healthy, and I can help my team,” Severino said. The joy surrounding the return of Severino, a two-time All-Star, was severely curbed after the game when the Yankees announced that Dellin Betances, their four-time All-Star reliever, had sustained what was probably a season-ending partial tear of his left Achilles tendon during his 2019 debut Sunday. Until this week, Betances, like Severino,

had missed all of the season with shoulder and latissimus dorsi injuries. But after he

struck out both batters he faced in Toronto, he did the small celebratory hop he had done

so many times before. That is when he hurt his tendon, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. Betances initially didn’t think anything of it. But when he felt soreness and couldn’t get on his tiptoes Tuesday, he was sent for tests. The Yankees said that Betances — who has been one of the best relief pitchers in baseball and will become a free agent after this season — would receive a second opinion and be treated conservatively for now, but that surgery had not been ruled out. “Obviously frustrating and about as freak as can be,” Boone said of the injury. “We’ve dealt with a lot of things obviously this year. And this is another one, and we’ll support Dellin as best we can through this.” The announcement mirrored most of the Yankees’ season, with injuries piling atop one another and often distracting from outstanding performances. Still, the team could clinch its first American League East title in seven years as soon as Wednesday. That would be quite a feat given the ailments and struggles of the pitching staff throughout the summer. “Just sad, man,” Severino said of Betances, his rehabilitation partner. See SEVERINO B6

GEOFF BURKE/USA TODAY

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (4) celebrates with Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (21) after throwing a touchdown pass against the Washington Redskins in the second quarter at FedExField.

Fantasy football Week 3 lineups Phil Thompson Chicago Tribune

It’s the picture of fantasy frustration: You invested early draft picks in your favorite running backs or wide receivers only for them to have slow starts. Now you’re hoping they’ll be late bloomers. Several top-ranked players are prime candidates to break out of their funks. Others face grim circumstances that may not change anytime soon. Start 1. Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys vs. Dolphins You can’t assume any quarterback facing the Dolphins is an automatic start, but Prescott is streaking and Miami traded safety Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Steelers on Monday. Prescott — not Patrick Mahomes — ranks second in all of fantasy in points per game (30.5, FantasyData.com format), trailing the Ravens’ Lamar Jackson. On some sites, Prescott had an average draft position in the teens, likely as a backup in a 10- or 12-team league. For some fantasy owners, that means trusting him over the likes of Aaron Rodgers, Carson Wentz or Jared Goff, depending on matchups. That also means you should consider a trade to bolster another area. 2. David Johnson, RB, Cardinals vs. Panthers Johnson (wrist) should be fine for Week 3, but the Cards curiously haven’t used him enough in the red zone, which you’d think would get a look in the film room. “I have to do a good job of not wasting plays when you’re in the red zone,” coach Kliff Kingsbury said via the team website. The Panthers gave up double-digit fantasy points to Malcolm Brown, Todd Burley and Peyton Barber. Count on Johnson to get there as well. 3. Devonta Freeman, RB, Falcons at Colts The Colts appeared much improved overall but they’re allowing big yardage to backs. Austin Ekeler and Derrick Henry each totaled at least 90 yards and at least one touchdown. The Falcons have wanted to reestablish Freeman in the offense and this looks like the week to do it. 4. Kenny Golladay, WR, Lions at Eagles Golladay has gotten off to a monster start, averaging 14 points, but he put up about 13 points per game over the first two weeks last season before leveling out to about 9 points by the end of the season. Golladay figures to have at least one more big day. The Eagles already have allowed three 100-yard performances and five touchdowns to wide receivers in their games against the Redskins and Falcons. 5. Mike Evans, WR, Buccaneers vs. Giants Chris Godwin can’t hog all

the glory forever, can he? The Giants have yielded the most fantasy points to wide receivers, and Jameis Winston and company have extra time to prepare coming out of a Thursday game. So it feels right that Evans will get back on track. 6. Zach Ertz, TE, Eagles vs. Lions Hard as it is to believe, Ertz has been shut out of the end zone and has yet to reach 10 fantasy points in a game. But with his top competition for passes (Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson, etc.) banged up, the trend figures to end in Week 3. 7. Justin Tucker, K, Ravens at Chiefs Lost in Lamar Jackson mania is the fact that Tucker has double-digit production in both games to start the season. The Ravens have the offense to keep up but look for some drives to stall with the loud crowd at Arrowhead’s opener. 8. Seahawks defense vs. Saints No one’s rooting against Teddy Bridgewater, but this is a nightmare scenario: Trying to take Drew Brees’ place in a timing offense on the road in just your second start since 2015. Sit 1. Marcus Mariota, QB, Titans at Jaguars There are good reasons to be wary of Thursday’s primetime game. Though Mariota started off strong in Week 1 (24.3 points, per FantasyData.com), he returned to the mean in Week 2 (13.4 points) despite four more pass attempts and a better completion percentage. Need more reasons? It’s a short week, Mariota has a quadriceps injury, he was sacked four times in each game, the Jaguars shut him out of the end zone in two meetings last year and, facing the prospect of going 0-3, the Jaguars will be out for blood. 2. Tarik Cohen, RB, Bears at Redskins The Bears rank 23rd in offensive plays per game at 60.5 and are down from 63.3 last season, according to teamrankings.com. Cohen’s usage last season would vary, but he saw as many as 20 touches in a game twice last season. This season he hasn’t had half that, so if getting about eight touches becomes a trend the pressure’s on to do more with less volume. Cohen’s best bet would seem to be as part of the passing game, especially in PPR, but he doesn’t have the nearmonopoly catching passes out of the backfield that he had last season. Washington also has allowed only two touchdowns to running backs through the air since last season. 3. Carlos Hyde, RB, Texans at Chargers The Chargers held up against Kerryon Johnson’s ground game after getting roasted by Marlon Mack. Injuries in the secondary are beginning to mount making L.A. more vulnerable through the

air. 4. Courtland Sutton, WR, Broncos at Packers After a promising Week 1 (15 fantasy points), Sutton was a no-show against the Bears. There’s hardly a drop-off from the Bears’ secondary to the revamped Packers unit. Joe Flacco seems to be locked in on Emmanuel Sanders, but as for the rest of the offense this matchup has the potential to be another low-scoring affair. 5. Robby Anderson, WR, Jets at Patriots In two games against New England last year, Anderson totaled 13 targets but caught only five of them for 46 yards. And that’s when he wasn’t catching passes from a thirdstring quarterback. 6. Will Dissly, TE, Seahawks vs. Saints Sure, Dissly is a fantasy darling, but he’s a blocking tight end who’s boom or bust. The Saints also aren’t an ideal matchup. 7. Randy Bullock, K, Bengals at Bills The Bills are shaping up to be a formidable bunch as they head into their home opener. Kickers are at mercy of game script probably more than any other position, but so far opposing teams haven’t gotten any field opportunities against the Bills. 8. Vikings defense vs. Raiders Derek Carr doesn’t have a propensity for throwing picks and Josh Jacobs may help Oakland safely grind out yards anyway. Sleepers 1. Jacoby Brissett, QB, Colts vs. Falcons Everyone expected a dropoff in the passing game with Andrew Luck’s retirement — part of the reason T.Y. Hilton dropped in drafts (he ranked just the 17th receiver drafted, according to FantasyPros.com data). But Brissett has been as dialed in with T.Y. Hilton and the Colts tight ends as Luck was. Brissett may not be the elite talent Luck was, but he has a better offensive line. If he can put up 16 and 17 on the Chargers and Titans, respectively, the Falcons shouldn’t scare you off. 2. Frank Gore, RB, Bills vs. Bengals The Bills are “gathering information” on Devin Singletary’s hamstring, so the situation bears monitoring right up to game time. Gore rushed for 68 yards and a touchdown against the Giants, and the Bengals have been even more generous to running backs in fantasy. In fact, before the Browns’ game (No. 3) against the Jets Monday, the Bengals were No. 1 in RB points allowed, according to Fantasy Data. If Singletary sits or is limited, it’s a prime opportunity for Gore, even if T.J. Yeldon gets in the mix. 3. Raheem Mostert, RB, 49ers vs. Steelers This situation with Mostert,

Matt Breida and Jeff Wilson Jr. becomes more annoying when you consider that, if not for injuries, this morass could have included Tevin Coleman and Jerick McKinnon. Perhaps 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan is the only person in the world who could tell you what kind of split his three backs will see, and the son of Mike Shanahan probably likes it that way. During the preseason, even Mostert acknowledged, “I don’t know where I’m going to fall as far as the running back depth, but I just want to just go out there and give it my all.” The Steelers defense has been susceptible to passcatching running backs, and that favors Mostert. 4. Devin Smith, WR, Cowboys vs. Dolphins Yeah, yeah, you’re probably starting Amari Cooper, Randall Cobb — any Dallas player you have — against the trainwreck Dolphins, but there’s practically zero chance you’ve considered Smith. You know why? Because this deep sleeper was owned in 0% of Yahoo and ESPN leagues as of late Tuesday. But Michael Gallup will be out for up to four weeks with a knee injury, and Smith looks to inherit a lot of his snaps. He’s a burner who caught three balls for 74 yards and a touchdown against the Redskins on Sunday. The Athletic’s Jon Mochata tweeted, “Devin Smith will likely now get more opportunities with Gallup out. Jerry Jones last night on Smith: ‘One of his real skills is he can catch and adjust on a deep ball. ... He’s got a big future.’ “ 5. Mike Williams, WR, Chargers vs. Texans The Texans have a bendbut-don’t-break defense, which has seen some shuffling in the secondary. Lonnie Johnson is a big rookie who has taken over outside duties opposite Johnathan Joseph, but he probably hasn’t handled receivers as big and physical as Williams. Williams (knee) was banged up going into Week 2 but if he improves it’s just a matter of time before he rediscovers his connection with Philip Rivers. 6. Vance McDonald, TE, Steelers at 49ers Clearly he has some sort of rapport with Mason Rudolph, so ride with it. It was just last season the Niners gave up the most points to tight ends in fantasy. 7. Austin Seibert, K, Browns vs. Rams Seibert nailed three field goals, two from 40-plus yards, against the Jets. He figures to see plenty of opportunities when a quietly good Rams defense keeps Baker Mayfield and company contained. 8. Cardinals defense vs. Panthers Cam Newton is reeling and Arizona has enough talent to take advantage of that.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Jets’ Adams admits he made mistake, Automotive Title Clerk but benching still doesn’t sit well Al Iannazzone Newsday

NEW YORK — Jamal Adams revealed he was benched in Monday night’s 23-3 loss to the Browns, and he’s upset about it. “Yeah, I was benched,” the Jets’ AllPro safety said during an interview on WFAN Tuesday afternoon. “They benched me. I tried to anticipate a play, which I anticipated wrong and I was benched. It happens. I got to continue to do my job to the best of my ability as well as help lead the guys around me.” Adams had been called for back-toback penalties — offsides and encroachment — and was removed by defensive coordinator Gregg Williams with 4:22 left in the game. Adams is a captain and revered by players and coaches. But he had no idea why he was taken out. “I don’t really know why or what was the reason,” Adams said. “I made a penalty. They took me out. I’m not upset. Well, I am upset. I wanted to finish the

game, and I didn’t finish the game. It is what it is. I made a boneheaded mistake.” The Jets are in a bad place already at 0-2 and on their third starting quarterback because of illness to Sam Darnold and a season-ending ankle injury to Trevor Siemian. They don’t want one of their best players and leaders disgruntled. Adams, a third-year pro, said the Jets need “to stick together” during this adversity and gave no indication that he wants out. He said he still thinks he can win with the Jets. “I believe so,” Adams said. “I strongly believe so. It’s a special place, a special atmosphere at MetlLife. We just got to get it together. We got to continue to keep pushing and keep striving. As long as we do that we’ll be fine.” Adams wouldn’t directly answer why he stopped following the Jets on his social media platforms Tuesday and whether he was sending a message to

management. He said he’s looking ahead to Sunday in New England. “I’m focused on this game,” Adams said. “I’m not focused on anything, the outside noise. I’m focused on how we can get better and grab a win ... It’s social media at the end of the day. It’s outside noise. I’m not focused on that.” Earlier Tuesday, on a conference call with reporters, Adam Gase said he thought it was the right move to take Adams out of a game that was essentially decided. The Jets were down 20. “I’m sure at that point of the game he was extremely frustrated,” Gase said. “When it gets like that and you want to go make a play and you want to have a positive impact play, the score’s a little lopsided like that, you get a little overaggressive. Him coming out of the game was more kind of to settle him down ... I thought it was a smart idea as far as trying to do that and get him to settle down.” Adams apparently didn’t agree.

Manning From B1

Instead, he has instantly become more closely tied to the championship teams he guided to Super Bowls in 2007 and 2011. That’s not to say Manning is blameless for the losing. He certainly could have done more to avoid this spiral of misery the franchise finds itself in, done a better job of lifting mediocre players to winners. He’s made more than his share of mistakes and bad plays that have led to losses. But there are plenty of other culprits responsible for this era of futility, lots of members of the coaching staffs and front office whose missteps and poor choices sunk the team from one of the best to one of the worst in the league in a matter of just a few years, besides Employee Number 10. So instead of being part of the Giants’ mountain of problems in 2019, Manning now ascends to the Rushmore of Giants history. Manning came to the Giants in 2004, acquired in a draft day trade with the Chargers that rescued him from a franchise he never wanted to represent. He was the first overall selection by San Diego, but before he left the building in New York City where the draft was being held, he was a Giant. In Week 10 of his rookie season, he was named the starting quarterback. It was a position he held, with the exception of one asterisk of a week in 2017, for the next 14 seasons. He started 210 straight games, through significant injuries to his shoulder and his foot, before he was

FIELD HOCKEY Taconic Hills 3, Pine Plains 1 PINE PLAINS — The Taconic Hills field hockey team won its fourth match in five outings on Tuesday, defeating Pine Plains, 3-1. Amelia Canetto scored the Titans first goal with an assiust by Tanner Van Alstyne with 26:50 to go in the first period. Kirsten Shumsky followed with an unassisted goal with 24:30 to go in the half and Delana Bonci scored with an assist from Canetto with 8:22 left before halftime. Keara Nielsen scored Pine Plains’ lone goal with 2:30 remaining in the first half. Taconic Hills (4-1, 3-1) outshot Pine Plains, 15-6. Both teams collected four penalty corners. Titans’ goalkeeper Sydney Kiernan had five saves. Pine Plains’ Kai Mannino stopped 11 shots. Coxsackie-Athens 1, Webutuck 0 (OT) COXSACKIE — The

benched for Geno Smith in Week 13 of the 2017 season. That decision, decried by a large portion of the fanbase, created more upheaval in the organization than just the quarterback position. The day after the game, the Giants fired head coach Ben McAdoo and general manager Jerry Reese. Manning was reinstalled as the starting quarterback. From that first start in 2004 to now, he began to compile career numbers that not only put him atop every significant list in the Giants record book, but nestled him comfortably in the top 10 of all time in the NFL. He has thrown for 56,537 yards, 362 touchdowns and 241 interceptions. He is one of 15 quarterbacks in NFL history with 100 or more victories. His career record as a starter in the regular season is 116116. Manning’s mark on the franchise and league history is not measured in numbers but in moments. He was never a serious candidate for an MVP award, never voted a starter in a Pro Bowl, and never came close to an AllPro team. But when the Giants needed him the most, Manning was able to step up and produce. That was never more evident than in his pair of playoff runs that resulted in championships, which are riddled with iconic plays and upset victories. Perhaps none is more unforgettable than his spinning away from a potential sack and chucking a blind pass down the middle of the field where David Tyree pinned the ball against his helmet to help beat the unbeaten Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. A few plays later Manning hit Plaxico Burress in the end

BARTON SILVERMAN/THE NEW YORK TIMES

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning with the the Vince Lombardi Trophy after winning Super Bowl XLVI at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, on Feb. 5, 2012. With the Manning era in Giants football apparently ending on Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2019, fans might want to recall just how fortunate they were that Manning ever wore the team’s uniform.

zone for the game-winning touchdown. He repeated his knack for such dazzling postseason plays against the Patriots four years later when he hit Mario Manningham on the sideline late in Super Bowl XLVI to spark that game-winning drive. That may have been the most perfect and precise pass he threw as a Giant, and it came at one of the most critical times of his career. He was named MVP of both Super Bowls. In recent years those plays

have faded into memory. He has spent the last few seasons surrounded by teammates who were in high school or middle school when he was winning Super Bowls, teammates who weren’t allowed to stay up late enough to watch his late-game achievements on those February Sundays. Images of his finest moments are painted on walls all around the Giants’ training facility; they’ve served more as a reminder of what was rather than what is for nearly a decade.

Manning has seen a lot of traffic flow in and out of his locker room over the past decade and a half. Some of the players who arrived after him have already been inducted into the team’s Ring of Honor. Some of those who greeted him as a rookie are in the Hall of Fame. Jeff Feagles was the punter in 2004. He was 38 years old that season, the same age Manning is now. When Manning departs – he is in the last year of his contract, having earned nearly a quarter of a billion dollars in salary from the Giants in his career – he will take some history with him. He is the last Giant ever to have played under Hall of Fame owner Wellington Mara. He and long-snapper Zak DeOssie are the only two players who remain from the 2007 championship team as well as the 2011 one. They are also the last two Giants who played home games at Giants Stadium. In Week 2 of this season, the Giants celebrated Alumni Day and honored many players who helped bring Lombardi Trophies to the Meadowlands. While his contemporaries were being feted on the field at halftime, Manning was in the locker room trying to figure out how to come back from a 21-7 deficit against the Bills. His rightful place should have been among those showered with applause and appreciation rather than doused with boos as he trotted through the tunnel. Manning may yet again hear cheers while in uniform. The Giants could have him make a Week 17 start in the final home game of the season (assuming it is as meaningless to the standings as it projects to be at this point).

He may even have to return to the field at some point if Jones is injured. He is, after all, one of the backup quarterbacks. But the next time Manning receives the full embrace of the fans at MetLife Stadium may well be when he strolls out to be inducted into the Ring of Honor in the not-toodistant future. Or when he makes a post-playing-days curtain call and waves to the crowd surrounded by the offensive line who shielded him in his best seasons (and continued to try to do so from criticisms in later years), flanked by the receivers who pulled in his most memorable passes, and joined by the defenders who kept the Giants in those important games long enough for Manning to work his magic. There is an immediacy to sports. Fans care about now, not then. They want to know how a player can help this team win this game. So long as someone is in uniform and on the field, their resume, no matter how impressive, remains an afterthought. Manning’s struggles in recent years have been difficult to watch, akin to Willie Mays dropping pop-ups at Shea Stadium or Y.A. Tittle kneeling in the mud with a bloody forehead. In those moments, such missteps elicited frustration and groans. It was only afterward that they conjured some sympathy and respect, that they were seen through the perspective of otherwise glorious careers. Manning, freed from the burdens of starting quarterback, can now gracefully move into that realm and be remembered for all that he has accomplished rather than scrutinized for what he hasn’t.

Sage Murphy, acting keeper, made five saves for C-A. Hudson’s keeper had eight saves. Though C-A earned the win outright, coach Cashin still wanted to work on some aspects of the game. “I want to work on everything,” Cashin said, “We aren’t playing fast enough. Our tempo needs to increase, we need to be able to take hits and not get emotional about it. We are young and we are inexperienced; we are trying to play better every time we hit the field.” Maple Hill 5, Taconic Hills 0 CASTLETON — Alayna Fletcher scored three goals and assisted on another to power Maple Hill to a 5-0 victory over Taconic Hills in Tuesday’s Patroon Conference girls soccer game. April Jacobs and Emma Pearsall each scored a goal for the Wildcats (5-0). Paige Padill and Kylie Roloson both had an assist. Hannah Brewer didn’t have to make a save, while Mia Fleck had one save for the Wildcats. Lauren Adamo collected seven saves for Taconic Hills (1-3, 1-4). Greenville 4, Chatham 2 GREENVILLE — Molly

Zack Britton, who thought his career was over when he ruptured an Achilles tendon in December 2017, said he felt nauseous talking to Betances about his injury. “The doctor told me it’s bad luck when I did mine,” said Britton, who returned to a major-league mound five months after surgery. “It was similar for Dellin, too, which is even worse. He was so excited, and he did so well that first game. For it to happen on something so innocent like that, him being excited about a strikeout, is even more frustrating.” For most of Tuesday, Yankees fans salivated over Severino’s promising debut. He quickly knocked the rust off by pitching out of a first-inning jam. His second frame was more dominant. He blew a 97-mph fastball by first baseman Jared Walsh for a strikeout and fanned second baseman Luis Rengifo with a slider. “Really excited for him and how well he threw the ball,” Boone said. Severino, who allowed two hits and two walks, received plenty of offensive support. Shortstop Didi Gregorius and left fielder Cameron Maybin each collected runscoring doubles, while second baseman Gleyber Torres

smashed a three-run home run, his team-leading 38th blast of the season. Because the Yankees’ pitching strength has been in the bullpen, they might be able to withstand Betances’ absence again. They have said they will be creative with their pitching staff come October and will do whatever it takes to get 27 outs each game, regardless of role. How much Severino has been built up by then may be a determining factor. He tossed 67 pitches Tuesday, and a third of them were 97 mph or more. He was expected to make a few more starts before the end of the regular season. “I’ll do anything I can do to help,” he said. When the Yankees didn’t address their stated need for pitching at the July 31 trade deadline, team officials banked on improvement from within. They have gotten it from starting pitcher James Paxton of late, and now with the return of Severino. “We’re getting back one of the best pitchers in the league,” right fielder Aaron Judge said over the weekend. “That’s our trade deadline right there.” But that was before Betances’ tendon became the Yankees’ latest crushing injury.

Daughter-in-law is barred from family after robbery Dear Abby, Our son is married to a beautiful girl, “Debra.” Several years ago, while we were away on vacation, she entered our home without our consent. (Our son has a key to DEAR ABBY our house.) She took several expensive, very personal and sentimental items, and we have no idea what she did with them because she denies doing it. Abby, we have absolute proof it was her. Our son denied her involvement for a while until other suspicious things happened with some of their friends’ possessions. We all agree now it was Debra. Her mother sided with her until Debra stole from her, too. At the time of our robbery and our accusation of her guilt, Debra said she would never talk to us or enter our house again. In addition to what she did to us, in the past she has also done some unscrupulous and hurtful things involving our grandchildren and other children. Because of this, she is no longer invited to any family events, and our son agrees, although he still loves her, and they are still married. We sincerely forgive Debra for what she did, but we decided that it does not mean we must include her in our lives again. Years have passed, and she’s now trying to come back into the fold. Her presence would cause our grandchildren and their parents to stay away, which we definitely do not want. Debra and our son have no children. She has never admitted her guilt or asked for forgiveness from us. Should we be open to allowing her back into our close-knit fold? Victimized In Florida Has your son offered an explanation for his

wife’s behavior? Could she have been on drugs or suffering from a mental or emotional problem at the time she acted out the way she did? Whether or not you should try to broker a peace in the family and “let her back into the fold” would depend upon what she did to the grandchildren and other children, whether it can be remediated with an apology and explanation to those she offended, and your family’s capacity for forgiveness. Dear Abby, I have been married for three years. I’m not someone who initiates sex, but once in a blue moon I get the urge. Unfortunately, every time I do, my husband refuses and makes excuses. This year I tried twice, and after the last rejection, I exploded from anger. I am so insulted! I never refuse him, even if I don’t feel like it, because I want to please him. When I told him how he made me feel, he apologized. He said he didn’t mean to hurt my feelings, but I feel awful. Now I no longer feel any sexual urges at all, and I’m no longer attracted to my husband. What must I do? I can’t simply forget the feelings. Insulted Wife

Because your husband is usually the one who initiates sex, it’s possible that this is the way he prefers it. That said, however, this issue could end your marriage if it isn’t dealt with. You and your husband should ask your physician for a referral to a licensed psychotherapist who can help both of you get to the core of this issue. Do not let this fester. Do it NOW. Blondie

Husband’s heart is at risk, even with OK cholesterol My husband and I are both 72 and of normal weight. I have fought high cholesterol and triglycerides for many years and have taken various statins for a long time. My triglycerides still trend high, but my other numbers are now normal. My husband eats a ton of processed meats, all the fat he TO YOUR wants and drinks three to five GOOD HEALTH beers per day. His lipid panel results came back today, and his total cholesterol is 167, his LDL is 90, his HDL is 71, and his triglycerides are 29! He has never been on statin drugs. His only med is lisinopril for slightly high blood pressure. What I am concerned about is a CT scan done as part of a study we participated in. My husband’s results have mentioned calcification of heart arteries over the years, and the most recent says he has “SEVERE calcification of coronary arteries.” I want him to go to a cardiologist, but his family doc says that this is not a problem and as long as he keeps his blood pressure low, he can live a long time with this. He is satisfied with that answer. I’m really anxious to hear your thoughts about him needing to see a specialist. I hope

DR. KEITH ROACH

you will be able to shed some light on the calcification and the reason why it happens with such good cholesterol readings. There are several important lessons in your story. The most important is that a poor diet increases the risk for heart disease even in a person with normal or good cholesterol results. Of people with a heart attack, 21% had cholesterol levels that would not trigger treatment with a statin drug. I suspect, but can’t be sure, that your husband has blockages in his coronary arteries; the severe calcification of the coronary arteries is an indicator that it is very likely. I would add my recommendation to yours that your husband see a cardiologist. He has a LOT of work to do at improving his diet, he is drinking more alcohol than recommended and because of the coronary artery calcification, I suspect his new cardiologist would be strongly considering medication treatment to reduce heart disease risk.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you value your privacy above all else, and even though your life’s journey may thrust you into the public eye at times — for possibly a long time — you will always do what you can to keep private those things about your life that you feel are nobody’s business. No matter where your profession may lead you, you are sure to continue doing the things you enjoy and to avoid doing the things you do not enjoy simply to maintain a level of personal contentment that career success cannot bring you. You are stylish and somewhat dramatic in your personal tastes; you want to look just right at all times, and you’ve been known to change clothes often in a single day — if only to please your own highly developed, and often evolving, sense of self. Also born on this date are: Jimmy Fallon, late-night TV host; Adam West, actor; David McCallum, actor; Jeremy Irons, actor; Trisha Yearwood, singer; Mario Batali, celebrity chef; Michael Symon, celebrity chef; Mama Cass Elliot, singer. 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. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You’re in a more romantic mood than usual, perhaps, but you must guard against doing anything today that could come back to haunt you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You may not fully understand another’s motives, but you are willing to offer support because you trust him — or her — implicitly. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You may find yourself waiting for someone to get “back in the

ring” with you today so that you can fight a common enemy together. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Ask the right questions today; you’re sure to get the answers you need. Eventually all the pieces will fall into place. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You mustn’t try to do everything all at once today; focus on one thing at a time to ensure that you’re doing everything correctly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Errors can be quite costly today, especially the kind that results from paying not enough attention to the essentials. Don’t be fooled. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — The unexpected has you moving in an entirely new direction today — at least for a while, as you prevent this particular fire from spreading. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — What someone wants most is something you can live without — so why not orchestrate a trade that can serve you both well? TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Your contribution to another’s cause will surely be remembered — but will it be for the right reasons? Your legacy must be protected. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Someone makes an offer that is not really worth serious consideration — but you’ll want to explore the reasons it was made in the first place. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — What someone else does in your stead will mean a great deal to you — eventually. At first you may have a hard time keeping jealousy at bay. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — There’s no point in letting envy dictate your emotional journey today. You can afford to be more objective than usual in order to solve a puzzle.
