The Greene County Industrial Development Agency is in discussions with a hotel developer for the former Quality Inn site.

CATSKILL — Redeveloping the former Quality Inn, the former hotel on Route 23A near Exit 21 of the New York State Thruway, is close to becoming a reality, Greene County Industrial Development Agency Executive Director Rene VanSchaack said Monday. After two and a half years of litigation with the former owner, Kolath Hotels & Casinos Inc., the IDA began demolishing the hotel in January.

Bronze Contracting of Remsen performed the work, which was paid for in part by a $250,000 Restore New York grant. The county today is one step closer to having an operational hotel again at the Catskill exit, VanSchaack said. “What we have been discussing is consistent with what our goals are,” VanSchaack said. “They are proposing a higher quality hotel.” Because the deal is not finalized, Van Schaack said he

cannot reveal the names of the hotel chain or the developer. “The Quality Inn was considered economy class,” VanSchaack said. “Upper-mid class would be a Hampton Inn, for example.” VanSchaack expects the hotel will contain 85 to 100 rooms, which is larger than the Quality Inn, he said. The project looks favorable, VanSchaack said. “The developer has been See HOTEL A2

CHATHAM — Most were in their 20s and 30s. The oldest, Bobby Owen, was 51. The youngest, Brian Cody Waldron, was 20. Those names belonged to 26 people who have died from substance abuse in the past three years in Columbia and Greene counties. They were honored Friday as part of the Third Annual Memorial Walk

through the village of Chatham. The event was hosted by Columbia County Pathways to Recovery. “We’re here to honor our loved ones we’ve lost, reach out a hand with support and hope to those struggling with substance abuse disorders, and celebrate those who are in recovery,” said Lori Antonson, acting president of Columbia See VIGIL A2

Underage alcohol sales targeted in statewide sweeps By Melanie Lekocevic Columbia-Greene Media

ALBANY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced a statewide crackdown on underage drinking and retailers who sell alcohol to people under age 21 during the month of October. Law enforcement agencies will work with the state Liquor Authority and the state Department of Motor Vehicles to conduct underage drinking checks at establishments suspected of selling alcohol to minors, including bars, restaurants, liquor stores and

grocery stores, according to the governor’s office. Hudson Police Chief L. Edward Moore said his department works with state authorities to conduct these investigations. “We do routine SLA checks with local retail stores that sell beer and we use underage people,” Moore said. “We have done that a couple of times over the past year and we find, more often than not, that our stores are in compliance.” Moore said the last time the Hudson department did

this type of sweep was over the winter, and he recalls that retailers were complying with the law. New York state requires a person to be at least 21 years old to purchase alcohol. “I am fairly sure that the last time we did this, our stores were 100% in compliance,” Moore said. To conduct an underage drinking check, the Hudson department typically asks individuals working with the city who are under 21 to attempt See UNDERAGE A2

to purchase alcohol without proper identification, Moore said. “We have underage young people go into stores and try to buy alcohol. We have used people who are interning with us,” Moore said, adding that compliance from retailers has been excellent. But that’s not the case elsewhere in the state, according to the governor’s office. From June to September of this year, similar sweeps have resulted in 426 people being cited for noncompliance with the law. Those sweeps took place at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center and concert venues in other areas of the state. No facilities in the Twin Counties were targeted this summer, according to the governor’s office. During the sweeps, police seized fake IDs made to look as if they were from New York and many other states and Canada. In the Capital Region, 56 tickets were issued from June to September. Coxsackie Police Chief Sam Mento said his department works side by side with state

into negotiations,” he said, adding that he expects that will happen in about 30 days. “It is our hope that we will have a set of terms, a project description and a brand to take back to the project team,” VanSchaack said. Greene County Deputy Administrator Warren Hart did not return calls for comment. Catskill Town Supervisor Doreen Davis said she is excited by the news. “We are excited to hear of progress on the site,” she said. “We believe it’s an

important piece of our rebirth in that area of the town. Not only does it encourage tourist visitors but also business travelers who will stop and contribute to our economy. A hotel property would make use of our new sewer infrastructure, the more utilization by new users, the more the costs are shared.” The IDA hopes to site a restaurant or other businesses on the rest of the property, VanSchaack said. “The hotel is expected to use two acres, the parcel is

4.69 acres,” he said. The IDA is also in the process of purchasing an additional 2.2 acres from the state Thruway Authority to improve access to the site, VanSchaack said. No other developers expressed an interest in the Exit 21 site, VanSchaack said. “Catskill is an unknown market,” he said. “The market data these developers rely on to make decisions isn’t very strong here.”

police to conduct sweeps. “We work in conjunction with the state police and they initiate these sweeps. They are very good about contacting local agencies and taking input regarding problematic spots in the community,” Mento said. “We monitor our locales here and if we determine it’s a problem, when they have these sweeps we let them know.” Mento said the last violation for selling alcohol to underage customers in Coxsackie was about two years ago. “There have been a couple of incidents in the past, but they have been rectified by these sweeps, which are a great deterrent,” Mento said. Chatham Police Chief Peter Volkmann, founder of the addiction recovery organization Chatham Cares 4 U, said he supports the state’s initiative, and that periodic checks encourage retailers to be diligent. “I think underage drinking is still a problem that needs to continue to be regulated by law enforcement,” Volkmann said. “In Chatham, our retailers have been pretty good — I am pretty confident that any type of initiative will find that our retailers are checking IDs. The initiative of doing checks, and enforcing and regulating, has helped keep everyone on their toes. It keeps people

honest.” Young people under 21 found to be using fake IDs to purchase alcohol can be ticketed and their driver’s licenses can be suspended or revoked for at least 90 days and up to one year. Businesses found to be selling alcohol to individuals under 21 face civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation. Repeat offenders can have their liquor licenses suspended or revoked. Store employees who sell to underage customers can be arrested and charged with a misdemeanor. Lori Antonson, acting president of Columbia County Pathways to Recovery, said her organization is planning on bringing the program “The Science of Addiction and Recovery” into Chatham schools, and hopes to eventually spread the word countywide. “We are working with the [Chatham] school to bring in a program in October about the science of addiction to educate kids about what happens to the brain with all kinds of substances, not just drugs. It will include a section on alcohol,” Antonson said. “We are starting in Chatham, but we are hoping to bring the program to schools in all of Columbia County.” Because young people’s brains are not yet fully

developed, they may not always make the best decisions with regard to substance use, Antonson said. “Young brains are not fully developed until 25 years old, so my understanding is that the portion of the brain that is responsible for rational decision-making is not yet fully developed so it is not operating at its optimum capacity and they may not make the healthiest choices for themselves,” Antonson said. According to the state Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services, drinking alcohol before age 21 can interfere with brain development, causing learning difficulties well into the early 20s. Early alcohol use is also associated with poor grades, absenteeism and higher school dropout rates, according to the state agency. “These continued statewide enforcement sweeps add to our success in keeping our roadways safe, protecting our youth and holding those who enable underage drinking responsible,” Cuomo said in a statement. Anyone struggling with an addiction, or who knows someone who is struggling, can call the state’s toll-free, 24-hour, seven-day-a-week HOPEline at 1-877-8-HOPENY (1-877-846-7369) or text HOPENY (467369).

supervisors, has expanded access to education prevention and mobile and fixed-site outpatient treatment. It has required first responders to submit data to the federal database known as the OD Map, which allows real-time information about the prevalence of overdoses. The supervisors increased the number of medication drop boxes, increased syringe disposal sites, initiated litigation against manufacturers and hired a full-time addiction and recovery coordinator in Columbia and Greene counties. Recently, the county also launched the ColumbiaGreene Addiction Coalition website. Julie Roy, of Averill Park, Rensselaer County, said her son, Will, died four years ago, on Sept. 25. Roy said her son was using about four years before he died of an overdose. “He started using pills recreationally,” Roy said. “They [the pills] started spilling into the community and he couldn’t get away from them. When the pills dried up, he started using heroin.” Roy said she and her neighbors struggled with access to services, and more than two dozen people in her community died as a result in the past several years. “He got to a point where he wanted help, but couldn’t find it,” Roy said. “We tried everything. I didn’t even know who to call. He had so many barriers. After he passed, I didn’t know how it could happen to so many people.” Although there is still a long way to go, things have changed for the better, Roy

said. There is greater access to Suboxone providers and longer treatment stays and there are programs like Chatham Cares 4U, which has helped people in Rensselaer County find treatment beds. “After looking at all the barriers he faced, a lot of those barriers are coming down,” Roy said. “There is a lot more hope now and a bigger chance for recovery for people now.” The Rev. Tom Malionek, rector of St. Paul Episcopal Church in Kinderhook, substance is not just a physical problem, but a spiritual problem. “We are available to anyone who is struggling, whether you are personally affected by substance abuse, whether it is someone you love or whether it’s someone only that you know,” Malionek said. “If there is anything we can do to help, you don’t have to be Episcopalian or Christian, and we are here for you.” Help is also available at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 12 Woodbridge St., Malionek said. The group also runs a helpline, seven days a week, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The number is 877-HOPE-365. The helpline is all-volunteer run and more volunteers are needed. Those selected to volunteer

will work four-hour shifts and complete online training. No crisis experience is required. Personal experience is all that is needed, organizers said. Columbia County Pathways to Recovery holds a community meeting every third Tuesday of each month. Meetings generally include a speaker and a question-and-answer period. Meetings are posted on the organization’s website and Facebook page. The next meeting will be held Oct. 15 at 6:30 p.m. in the Roeliff Jansen Community Library, 9091 Route 22, Hillsdale.

County Pathways to Recovery. Many in recovery wore stickers with the number of years and months in recovery. Columbia County Pathways to Recovery’s mission is to provide support and resources to individuals and families who are impacted by the substance abuse crisis. “Our hope is to change the conversation concerning substances from one of shame, isolation and judgment to one of collaboration, respect and honoring of individuals engaged in this struggle,” Antonson said. “Approximately 200 people die each day from overdose,” Antonson said. “That’s like a plane crashing every single day. That is six to seven people every hour. We can help change these statistics by working together.” There are more than 23 million people in the United States in recovery. “We have to keep remembering that recovery is possible,” Antonson said. “Everyone has the right to recover.” Michael Cole, director of the Community Services Department of Columbia County, said the county has the unfortunate notoriety of being in the highest quartile for both opioid deaths and suicide deaths in the state. “This is unacceptable,” said Cole, who lost his 26-year-old cousin to substance abuse some years ago.

Neighbors sing the wedding barn blues By Amanda Purcell Columbia-Greene Media

STUYVESANT — Plans in the works for a 600-person capacity barn for events to be built on Eichybush Road has neighbors crying foul. Jake Samascott, Mutsu LLC, is proposing the event barn on 111 acres at 554 Eichybush Road. The project is expected to be discussed at the town planning board’s regular meeting set for 7 p.m. Monday at Stuyvesant Town Hall, 6 Sunset Drive, neighbors say. No one answered the phone at the planning board office late Friday afternoon to obtain a copy of the agenda. A new set of maps drawn by consulting engineer Patrick Prendergast were presented to the town planning board for the first time Aug. 26. A new, 60-foot-by-80-foot barn, with a front setback from the road 131 feet, and side 132 feet and 2,252 feet from the rear, would be the site for weddings, gatherings and cider and beer tastings. Originally, Samascott proposed in November 2018 to repurpose an old barn on the property into an event barn/ venue, according to meeting minutes. An overflow parking area was planned for across the street. But the planning board determined the barn was not structurally sound, so the owners proposed building a new barn, using reclaimed wood and beams from the original structure, when possible. Seventy parking spaces are proposed near the venue, three of which will be reserved for people with disabilities. Samascott could not immediately be reached for comment on Friday. Less than 5% of the property, or five acres, will be used for the project. The overflow parking lot would be used only for large events. The applicant, according to the minutes, said most events would typically average 100 to 150 guests at a time, though the capacity is 600. In the past the road has been used by dairy farms and milk trucks. The kitchen would be

“prep only,” to heat up prepared meals for caterers. The venue sits over 100 feet back off the road and that the elevation change from the road going downhill to the front of the barn would also act as a natural buffer to noise. Painter Donna Moylan, who lives at 255 Eichybush Road with her husband Ben Chu, a physician, said she is concerned about the increase in traffic. “I can’t imagine 450 cars going back and forth on this tiny country road,” she said. “We invested our money in the property to retire in a quiet, country spot. It would just be ruined. Others are concerned about the aesthetics and putting a commercial venue in a residential area. Bill Roos lives across the street from the proposed event barn. Roos recently purchased property from Samascott to expand the Dutch farmhouse where he has lived with his husband for 23 years. “In my mind, it is plunking a strictly commercial operation in an agricultural community,” Roos said. “In the spirit of good neighbors, the Samsacott will be able to accomplish their goal at some other location but I don’t think it is appropriate in the town of Stuyvesant. If they do this, others will follow suit and try to do similar things. The whole agricultural nature of our town will be destroyed.” Anna Dawson said she is concerned about the traffic, saying increasing traffic on the winding road could be dangerous. Matt Laverack, of 387 Eichybush Road, lives about a quarter of a mile down the road toward Kinderhook. He is concerned about noise and the hours of operations from car doors slamming to loud music and wonders whether the property could be built in another Samascott property in a less rural area. He said that the business would not bring jobs or revenue to the town since caterers, not employees, will be hired to manage food at the venue. “What is the benefit to this

community going to be other than the taxes,” he said. In the August meeting, planning board member Mark Cross raised concerns about traffic on the back road. The road is not lined, has no easy access to a main road and it didn’t have good signage regarding sharp turns. The road is also frequented by cyclists and pedestrians. Planning Board Attorney Tal Rappleyea reminded those at the meeting in August that part of the official review for the site plan is to determine the appropriate accepted level of noise and glare. A public hearing will be held before any decisions are made about the project, Rappleyea said.

OUR VIEW

A matter of leadership It’s not over until the fat lady sings, the old saying goes, but she can barely be heard clearing her throat over the din of the latest New York House Republican protest against the new Green Light law. In a letter to U.S. Attorney General William Barr, the six House representatives raised red flags about the law that allows undocumented immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses in New York. The letter argues that by stipulating privacy guidelines so Departments of Motor Vehicles do not release undocumented immigrants’ information, the law creates a discrepancy with federal immigration law.

The representatives also raised concerns about voter registration fraud and security. This from the same Republican Party that has supported more restrictive voting laws, not against immigrants, but against African-Americans and Latinos who are U.S. citizens. The irony would be delicious if it weren’t so sad. Republicans point to polls conducted by the Siena College Research Institute published this week that found that half of New Yorkers oppose the law, down from 53% in August. Again, this is the same Republican Party that often dismisses or criticizes polls as

inaccurate. Republicans also forget that granting driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants was standard policy in the state until former Gov. George Pataki stopped it. Meanwhile, New York Attorney General Letitia James remains steadfast on the law’s constitutionality. She said Friday that the Green Light law aims to make New York roads safer and its economy stronger. James added that the law is well-crafted and that she and her office will vigorously defend it. This is the kind of leadership the state will need if the Green Light law is to prevail.

ANOTHER VIEW

Countries around the world are worrying, rightly, about Russian interference in their elections. But there’s another player in the game with a lot of experience, and it isn’t sitting this one out. China began dabbling in Internet disinformation long before “Russian troll” became part of the American vernacular. Its so-called 50-cent army, as many as 2 million strong according to some estimates, started marching in 2004: sneaking state-sponsored narratives into organic conversations, or just distracting citizens from controversial subjects, and pretending the 448 million comments it generates a year come from ordinary people. These manipulation attempts have historically been mostly inward-facing, while efforts to sway foreigners have focused instead on overt propaganda disseminated through 3,000 public television channels, 2,500 radio stations, 12,000 newspapers and magazines, and more than 3 million websites. But recent activity suggests that Beijing has turned its attention outward - most aggressively, not so far from home. The Stanford Internet Observatory has identified the upcoming Taiwanese presidential election as a near-certain target for a Chinese influence campaign. Journalists discovered this summer that an upset mayoral victory in 2018 by a pro-Beijing politician in Kaohsiung, southern Taiwan’s largest city, was not the story it had seemed of charisma and

digital know-how propelling a populist to victory. Instead, a mainland campaign had used sockpuppet accounts to gin up support, a tactic in line with researchers’ findings of cross-strait operations in recent elections. Now, a presidential contest approaches, and all signs point to more of the same, or worse. That China is clearly prepared to turn its mammoth manipulation apparatus toward regional conflicts is bad enough: Twitter removed hundreds of thousands of spammy accounts participating in a “state-backed information operation” focused on Hong Kong’s protest movement this summer, and Facebook kicked off a smaller collection of pages and accounts with links to Beijing around the same time. The question is whether Beijing is as willing to push further. President Donald Trump’s claims of Chinese meddling in the midterms so far aren’t supported by the evidence, but this country should get its guard up. Reuters reported recently that an Australian government agency attributed a pre-election attack on its Parliament and top political parties this spring to Beijing but kept quiet to protect trade relations. That doesn’t bode well for the United States and its allies, who will need one another’s cooperation to counter any offensive. China is hardly a stranger to waging war in cyberspace, but as the U.S. presidential campaign warms up, Beijing may now mean to open a new front. That can’t go unnoticed, or unchallenged.

The scenes spoke for themselves. From Moscow to Manhattan, millions around the world marched in one of the largest youth-led demonstrations in history. Swedish teenage activist Greta Thunberg, whose solitary protests triggered a global movement, championed environmental action in front of tens of thousands in New York City. Close to 300,000 people massed near Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate. In the Solomon Islands, threatened by a rising ocean, students rowed to protests in longboats. The coordinated “climate strike” in more that 150 countries delivered an unmistakable message to world leaders convening this week at the United Nations. In the West, including the United States, opinion polls show majorities — especially among young populations - in favor of substantive government action to address global warming. And there’s an urgency for that action. A major U.N.-backed report found that the past five years were the warmest on record and that annual sea-level rise has dramatically sped up from two decades ago. New data suggests that the growth rate for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is 20 percent faster than the past decade. The report warned that if emissions continue to rise at their current pace, the world will be on the brink of catastrophe by 2040, rocked by disasters that follow extreme weather, drought and inundated coastlines. “Governments always follow public opinion, everywhere in the world, sooner or later,” U.N. Secretary General António Guterres told reporters last week, adding that “we need to keep telling the truth to people and be confident that the political system, especially democratic political systems, will in the end deliver.” Guterres raised the alarm ahead of a U.N.-led climate action summit on Monday, where some 60 world leaders will announce major new commitments to cutting emissions and transforming their economies along more sustainable lines. Not unlike his itinerary at the Group of Seven summit in France last month, President Donald Trump will skip the special session on climate for a meeting on religious freedom, one of his administration’s pet ideological projects. That’s hardly a surprise. Abroad, Trump thumbed his nose at the international scientific consensus and commenced his nation’s

withdrawal from the landmark Paris climate accord. At home, he has worked to unravel myriad environmental regulations, including a ruling last week revoking the state of California’s ability to set its own auto emissions targets. Trump argues that multilateral pacts and state regulations are an unfair shackle on the American economy. He has waved away American responsibility for curbing emissions by pointing to the mammoth energy needs of developing nations such as India and China, whose governments and state-run companies are still expanding investment in coal. And he’s not alone. Just last week, Trump hosted Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who memorably once brought a lump of coal to Parliament as a prop to brandish against his opponents’ plans to push renewable energy. Trump also has a kindred spirit in Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who became the environmental villain of the moment when international attention fell on the fires in the Amazon and the role his rightwing government’s loosening of forestry protections played in the spread of the blazes. Brazilian Foreign Minister Eduardo Araujo defended his boss during a visit to Washington earlier this month, casting the rhetoric around climate change as a leftist conspiracy and “a pretext for dictatorship” because its activists somehow seek to “silence debate.” He said Trump and Bolsonaro were outliers “fighting” against a “globalist pact.” Wielding this ideological animus, Araujo told this column at a briefing that his government would bring to the United Nations a message anchored around the sovereignty of nations. That would comfortably echo the politics of Trump’s last two speeches from the dais of the General Assembly. “Our political climate is not friendly to this discussion at this moment. Multilateralism is under attack. We have seen the rise of authoritarian governments,” Alice Hill of the Council on Foreign Relations told the New York Times. “We see these pressures as working against us. We don’t have leadership in the United States to help guide the process.” For that reason, the impetus may have to come elsewhere. A handful of U.S. governors will be in attendance in a bid to fill the political vacuum left by Trump. Dozens of major multinational companies with a combined market cap of $2.3 trillion have signed on to a U.N. climate pact committing

themselves to bring down their emissions and “decarbonize” in the years ahead. In an interview with this column last week, American billionaire and philanthropist Bill Gates said it was “unfortunate” that climate change was not a bipartisan cause in the United States. He pointed to the need not just for symbolic gestures, but for significant public and private investment to transform economies and foster “an innovation ecosystem” that would “reduce the cost of going green very dramatically.” (If that entailed raising taxes on the wealthy, Gates said, he would have no problem obliging.) “Climate change is a very difficult problem,” said Gates, whose influential foundation identified in a report last week the effects of intensifying droughts and floods as one of the factors exacerbating inequality in countries around the world. “It’s kind of like disease eradication. You need to succeed throughout the world.” Gates is struck though by the volume of the current conversation around the climate and “the intensity of interest” among the public. “It’s quite a contrast versus five years ago, where it was hardly discussed at all,” Gates said. That growing awareness is fueled by real events. “It’s impossible to not be terrified by the unraveling that we are seeing from the Arctic to the Amazon, as well as the terrifying human impacts in places like the Bahamas. And how can we not be enraged that planetary arsonists are occupying the highest office, from Brazil to the United States?” prominent leftist activist and author Naomi Klein told the New York Review of Books. “At the same time, it’s not just the planet that is on fire. So is the climate justice movement, shaming politicians, demanding a transformational approach to the crisis, redrawing the political map.” After deliberations in New York, a new wave of climate protests are planned for Friday. “I have the feeling that politicians are often just [focusing on] the next vote,” said 25-yearold student Jakob Lochner, speaking to my colleagues on the sidelines of Berlin’s protest. “If you look around, there are so many people on the street; there is kind of a social tipping point.” Ishaan Tharoor writes about foreign affairs for The Washington Post.

Trump again defends ‘nice’ call with Ukrainian president, attacks Biden Tim Elfrink The Washington Post

WASHINGTON - Hours after appearing to confirm that he had discussed former vice president Joe Biden and his son with Ukraine’s president in an exchange at the center of a whistleblower complaint, President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Sunday night to insist again that he had done nothing wrong on a “nice” call with the foreign leader and to slam his Democratic rival. The tweets came after a full day of attacks against the Democratic presidential nominee by Trump administration officials and allies who demanded investigations of Biden and his son Hunter despite a lack of evidence of wrongdoing, as The Washington Post’s Seung Min Kim and Felicia Sonmez reported. Trump repeated those claims on Sunday night, again without any evidence, writing, “Sleepy Joe Biden, on the other hand, forced a tough prosecutor out from investigating his son’s company by threat of not giving big dollars to Ukraine.” “That’s the real story!” Trump added. The Post’s Fact Checker has previously found no merit to allegations that Joe Biden used the threat of withholding loans to force out a prosecutor who had investigated a natural gas company that hired Hunter Biden. Trump’s latest claims come as Democratic calls for

impeachment intensify over an extraordinary whistleblower complaint that was first reported by The Post last week. The complaint reportedly alleged that Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to probe Biden and his son during a July 25 phone conversation. Although the intelligence community’s inspector general found the complaint credible and urgent enough to disclose to congressional committees, Trump has repeatedly insisted he did nothing wrong and his administration has refused to share details of the complaint with Congress. The president sounded a similar note on Sunday night, while apparently referencing a

Wall Street Journal report that he had asked Zelensky eight times to investigate the former vice president. “Now the Fake News Media says I ‘pressured the Ukrainian President at least 8 times during my telephone call with him,’” Trump tweeted. “This supposedly comes from a so-called ‘whistleblower’ who they say doesn’t even have a first hand account of what was said. More Democrat/Crooked Media con . . .” Trump then apparently referenced a Saturday story in which Ukrainian Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko told a local television station that “I think there was no pressure” from Trump on the call with Zelensky, as Reuters reported.

Mystery deepens as search for Dulce Maria Alavez, missing NJ 5-year-old, extends into 2nd week

PHILADELPHIA — The mystery of 5-year-old Dulce Maria Alavez’s disappearance from a park in Bridgeton, N.J., is deepening, with officials reporting no major break in their search for the little girl after a week of investigation. Authorities say they are still looking for a man in a red van who has been described by investigators as both a possible suspect and a possible witness in the girl’s disappearance. Rewards for information in the case now stand at $35,000 but there is no indication if they have generated useful tips. Dulce was last seen in a playground at Bridgeton’s 1,100-acre City Park about 4:20 p.m. Sept. 16 and authorities have scoured the area for her since. An Amber Alert was issued more than 24 hours after she was last seen, saying the girl was apparently abducted — possibly by a man who, witnesses told investigators, may have led her into a red van. Cumberland County Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae has said investigators have not ruled out anything in the search for the girl and are pursuing leads. “When you follow a lead and it doesn’t take you to bringing Dulce home, we pivot, we reconsider the information, and we recheck, and take every new lead,” Webb-McRae said Friday. Anyone providing tips on

(Zelensky has yet to comment on the case.) “Breaking News: The Ukrainian Government just said they weren’t pressured at all during the ‘nice’ call,” Trump tweeted. Earlier Sunday, though, the president appeared to confirm with reporters outside the White House that he had brought up Biden and his son with Zelensky on the call. “The conversation I had was largely congratulatory, was largely corruption, all of the corruption taking place, was largely the fact that we don’t want our people, like Vice President Biden and his son, creating to the corruption already in the Ukraine,” Trump said on Sunday morning. “And Ukraine, Ukraine’s got a lot of problems.” Democrats say asking Ukraine to find damaging information on a potential 2020 rival could amount to another attempt to involve a foreign power in American elections. Intelligence agencies concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump, a claim the president denies. The story is likely to dominate Trump’s week at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, where he arrived on Sunday - and where he’s scheduled to meet Zelensky on Wednesday.

A missing poster of 5-year old Dulce Maria Alavez is shown posted on the window of the Bridgeton Police department in Bridgeton, N.J. Wednesday, September 18, 2019.

Dulce’s disappearance will not be questioned about their immigration status, the prosecutor has said. Spanish-speaking officers are available in the majority-Hispanic area to talk to tipsters. The girl’s mother, 19-yearold Noema Alavez Perez, and her family have cooperated with law enforcement, officials say. Alavez Perez said she drove to park with her 8-year-old sister, 5-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son after buying ice cream. Alavez Perez said she stayed in the car with her little sister to talk about homework while Dulce and her brother went to the playground 30 yards away.

A short time later, the boy returned crying and pointing to some buildings near the playground, Alavez Perez has said. She went to look for Dulce but found no trace of her. Police were then called in. Anyone with information can call 1-800-CALLFBI (1-800225-5324), selecting option 4, then option 8. Tips can also be anonymously texted to TIP411 with “Bridgeton” in the message.

Faster not always safer By Inez Whitehead-Dickens For Columbia-Greene Media

Dear Warriors, When you have an X-ray, no matter what part of your body, the technician always covers you with a lead apron. This is to minimize the amount of radiation exposure. Too much radiation could be deadly. For example, the Health Science Academy states the amount of radiation a microwave oven produces when heating food is actually absorbed by the water molecules in the food, but they advise to set the timer and walk away, because the amount of radiation in microwaves is stronger than the radiation received from watching television. Yes, you heard me right — television gives off radiation! The FDA warns about radiation injuries caused by faulty microwaves, such as the door not being able to close fully or radiation leaking through gaps in the microwave seals. So if you are not yet glowing in the dark because you weren’t exposed to enough radiation, not to worry. We have 5G! 5G is short for “5th generation,” the next evolution of wireless networks. Every 10 years, a new standard of wireless communication is released by Next Generation Mobile Networks Alliance. Right now most mobile devices are working on 4G speed. 5G will make transmitting data 100 times faster. This is done through EMF (electromagnetic field) that consists of protons (light particles) that travel in wave-like patterns at the speed of light. Since we are living in an age of fast things i.e, fast cars, email, electronic banking etc., this sounds great. But not so fast! Remember I told you about the dangers of too much radiation? Well, look at the dangers of 5G!. Thousands of studies link low-level wireless radio frequency radiation exposures to a long list of adverse biological effects, including: DNA single and double strand breaks; oxidative damage; disruption of cell metabolism; increased blood brain barrier permeability; melatonin reduction; disruption to brain glucose metabolism; and generation

of stress proteins. In 2011, World Health Organization (WHO) classified radio frequency radiation as a possible 2B carcinogen. More recently the $25 million National Toxicology Program concluded that radio frequency radiation of the type currently used by cell phones can cause cancer. According to efmacademy. com, there are ways to protect yourself and your home from 5G radiation exposure. They are: Don’t keep your phone with you at night, especially under your pillow or on your night stand. When talking on a cell phone remove it from your ear and use the speaker. Keep your phone off your body. Whether you put it in your pocket or bra, it will be much safer to put it in a backpack, purse or briefcase. Keep the router out of rooms where you sleep or spend the most time. As far as your home is concerned, 5G will require the use of new bandwidths not currently used by 4G LTE. Although these frequencies provide the speed this new network wants, they are extremely poor at traveling long distances or penetrating physical barriers like homes, trees, buildings, mountains, etc. So, whereas our current network works mostly off large cell towers spaced fairly far apart, 5G will utilize hundreds of thousands of small, extremely powerful, small-site relays and towers. So, instead of a large structure, you’ll see small devices on street signs, telephone poles, sides of buildings, and just about anywhere else they can get away with putting them. One of the best things we can do to protect our homes from 5G, or just EMF radiation in general, is to try to be wise about which devices we are bringing into our homes. Do you really need a smart-fridge, or a smart-microwave, or a smart-toaster? One other item to be aware of is 5G smart meters. Smart Meters are a hot topic when it comes to the dangers of EMF radiation. This is mostly because many people don’t have a choice as to whether they are installed, and they almost certainly pose a health risk.

If you don’t already know, smart meters are the newer version of the old analog utility meters. Smart meters communicate remotely with the utility company using cellular networks primarily. Not only does this relay data about your usage to the companies, but also allows them to control your gas, electricity or water, remotely. In doing so, it emits a large amount of EMF radiation into your home. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn. wrote to the Federal Communications Commission’s Brendan Carr seeking information on how his agency has determined 5G technology is safe (good luck with that one). He states: “We need to know whether the radio frequencies can cause cancer.” Hey Warriors, I have an idea — with all this dangerous radiation floating around, I have a cheaper and safer way to protect yourself from 5G radiation exposure; wrap yourself from head to toe in aluminum foil! No, seriously, my point is, faster is not safer. I know old schoolers like myself get it, but the young folks think they are untouchable. I was once talking to a friend of mine about causes of cancer, like the food we eat and the environment, not factoring in the dangers of these high speed networks. So try your best to educate young people. They are not immune to any of the health risks that come with using 5G!

Book launch: Twenty-One Trees & Hand Hewn at Education Center TANNERSVILLE — Join the Mountain Top Arboretum for the launch of two new books, “Hand Hewn,” by Jack Sobon, the architect of the Arboretum’s Education Center, which explores the craft and artistry of timber frame building construction, and “Twenty-One Trees,” which connects the tree species used in the Arboretum’s Education Center to their appearance in the Arboretum forest in all seasons through the photography of Rob Cardillo. The presentations will be held 4-6 p.m. Oct. 12 in the Mountain Top Arboretum Education Center, 4 Maude Adams Road, Tannersville. There will be presentations on each book and a short documentary film on the creation of the Arboretum’s building. The presentations will be followed by a reception and both authors will be available to sign books purchased at this event. “Twenty-One Trees” details through photographs by Rob Cardillo each of the 21 tree species used in the construction of the Mountain Top Arboretum’s new timber frame

Education Center, designed by noted architect Jack Sobon. Every tree, its bark and leaves are visually explored as they change throughout the seasons. This book will allow visitors to the Arboretum to better appreciate and come to know the beauty and time that continues to influence the ecology of the Arboretum long before and after one’s visit. “Hand Hewn” by Jack Sobon is a celebration of the traditions and artistry of timber-frame building, a 7,000-year-old craft that holds an enduring attraction for its simple elegance, resilience, and the warmth of the wood. Internationally renowned timber-frame architect and craftsman Jack A. Sobon offers a fascinating look at how the natural, organic forms of trees become the framework for a home, with profiles of the classic tools he uses to hand hew and shape each timber and explanations of the clever engineering of the wooden joinery connecting the timbers, without a single nail. Inspiring photos of Sobon’s original interior home

designs, as well as historical examples of long-lived structures in Europe and North America, make this a compelling tribute to the lasting value of artisanal craftsmanship and a thoughtful, deliberate approach to designing buildings. Sobon is an architect and builder specializing in timberframed buildings. A founding director of the Timber Framer’s Guild of North America and founder of the Traditional Timber Frame Research and Advisory Group, Sobon has devoted his 38-year career to understanding the craft of timber framing. Using only traditional hand tools, he has framed and erected over 50 structures. He is the author of “Build a Classic Timber Frame Home” and co-author of “Timber Frame Construction.” A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Sobon teaches and consults nationally on traditional building structures and timber-framing techniques.

Bridge Street Theater presents ‘The Work Project’ on Sept. 28 in Catskill CATSKILL — Recently, unions and the issue of worker’s rights has been the subject of public discourse. This and the book “Working,” by Studs Terkel, were the inspiration for Luis Macia, the artist for The Work Project. The project highlights workers who share their stories and images with social realist artist Luis Macia, culminating in an art exhibit of workers’ portraits accompanied by a live reading of their oral histories. The stories reflect the stark contrast of workers’ experiences based on their union status. One of the workers in the project is Pete ,who described a moment of desperation. “After days of double shifts I was exhausted and driving the truck wouldn’t be safe,” Pete said. “When he (his boss) asked me to do another shift he just wouldn’t take no for an answer. He asked me why I couldn’t drive the truck for him. I told him ‘‘cause I don’t work here anymore.’” This man was pushed to the point that he left his job without any back-up plan to support his disabled wife. The exhibit and performance will be at Bridge Street Theater, 44 West Bridge St., Catskill. The combination of arts, including visual and

Five retirement lessons from today’s retirees By Tim Bartholomew For Columbia-Greene Media

Each year for its Retirement Confidence Survey, the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) surveys 1,000 workers and 1,000 retirees to assess how confident they are in their ability to afford a comfortable retirement. Once again, in 2019, retirees expressed stronger confidence than workers: 82% of retirees reported feeling “very” or “somewhat” confident, compared with 67% of workers. A closer look at some of the survey results reveals various lessons today’s workers can learn from current retirees.

CURRENT SOURCES OF RETIREE INCOME Let’s start with a breakdown of the percentage of retirees who said the following resources provide at least a minor source of income:

n Social Security: 88% n Personal savings and in-

vestments: 69% n Defined benefit/traditional pension plan: 64% n Individual retirement account: 61% n Workplace retirement savings plan: 54% n Product that guarantees monthly income: 33% n Work for pay: 25% Lesson 1: Don’t count on work-related earnings Perhaps the most striking percentage is the last one, given that 74% of today’s workers expect work-related earnings to be at least a minor source of income in retirement. Currently, just one in four retirees works for pay. Lesson 2: Have realistic expectations for retirement age Building on Lesson 1, it may benefit workers to proceed with caution when estimating their retirement age, as the Retirement Confidence Survey

consistently finds a big gap between workers’ expectations and retirees’ actual retirement age. In 2019, the gap is three years: Workers said they expect to retire at the median age of 65, whereas retirees said they retired at a median age of 62. Three years can make a big difference when it comes to figuring out how much workers need to accumulate by their first year of retirement. Moreover, 34% of workers reported that they plan to retire at age 70 or older (or not at all), while just 6% of current retirees fell into this category. In fact, almost 40% of retirees said they retired before age 60. The reality is that more than four in 10 retirees retired earlier than planned, often due to a health issue or change in their organizations. Estimating retirement age is one area where workers may want to hope for the best but

prepare for the worst. Lesson 3: Income is largely a result of individual savings efforts Even though 64% of current retirees have defined benefit or pension plans, an even larger percentage say they rely on current savings and investments, and more than half rely on income from IRAs and/ or workplace plans. Current workers are much less likely to have defined benefit or pension plans, so it is even more important that they focus on their own savings efforts. Fortunately, workers appear to be recognizing this fact, as 82% said they expect their workplace retirement savings plan to be a source of income in retirement, with more than half saying they expect employer plans to play a “major” role. Lesson 4: Some expenses, particularly health care, may be higher than expected

While most retirees said their expenses were “about the same” or “lower than expected,” approximately a third said their overall expenses were higher than anticipated. Nearly four out of 10 said health care or dental expenses were higher. Workers may want to take heed from this data and calculate a savings goal that accounts specifically for health-care expenses. They may also want to familiarize themselves with what Medicare does and does not cover (e.g., dental and vision costs are not covered) and think strategically about a health savings account if they have the opportunity to utilize one at work. Lesson 5: Keep debt under control Just 26% of retirees indicated that debt is a problem, while 60% of workers said this is the case for them. Unfortunately, debt can hinder

retirement savings success: seven in 10 workers reported that their non-mortgage debt has affected their ability to save for retirement. Also consider that 32% of workers with a major debt problem were not at all confident about having enough money to live comfortably in retirement, compared with just 5% of workers who don’t have a debt problem. As part of their overall financial strategy, workers may want to develop a plan to pay down as much debt as possible prior to retirement.

Mary Gail Biebel elected to board of trustees at Shaker Museum NEW LEBANON — The trustees of Shaker Museum | Mount Lebanon unanimously elected Mary Gail Biebel to the board and to the office of treasurer on Aug. 3. Biebel has been involved with the Shaker Museum for many years in a pro bono consulting capacity, most recently assisting the organization to draft its 2018–2020 strategic plan. Biebel has served on the boards of many local and national not-for-profit organizations. She currently serves on the boards of Columbia Memorial Health, Albany Medical Center, and Albany Medical College, where she is a member of the Finance and Audit and Compliance

Committees. She also recently completed 20 years on the board of the Chatham Film Club.

Paul Cassidy, chair of the board, said, “Mary Gail’s experience building organizational capacity and her legacy of non-profit leadership in the region are enormous assets to the Shaker Museum as we enter a new phase of growth.” “It is an honor and a privilege to be elected to the Shaker Museum Board,” Biebel saide. “The Shaker values of simplicity, hard work, equality, and social justice resonate with me, and the Shaker Museum plays an important role by reminding us of those values and beliefs. I look forward to working with the board and staff as they continue to build on the Shaker legacy in our community.”

Unbridled Thoroughbred Foundation afforded a stable home in Greene County COXSACKIE — Unbridled Thoroughbred Foundation, a rescue and sanctuary for unwanted and slaughter-bound thoroughbreds, announces the launch of Unbridled Stable in Greene County. Susan Kayne, the founder and president of Unbridled, and John L. English, the owner of the property, will cut the ceremonial green ribbon to officially open the new facility 5-7 p.m. Sept. 26 at 1700 Farm to Market Road in Coxsackie. Greene County Chamber of

Commerce President/Executive Director Jeff Friedman and his staff will preside over the special occasion, followed by a meet and greet with the thoroughbred horses of Unbridled. In mid-August, John L. English, a businessman in New York City and longtime resident of Sleepy Hollow Lake, purchased the property to provide Unbridled with an exclusive venue to call home. “I have watched Unbridled make a positive impact in the

lives of many horses over the past year despite struggling to overcome the disadvantage of managing multiple, shared and unforgiving locations,” English said. The farm was originally built by former mayor of Coxsackie Gus Schoenborn, Jr. for his contemporary stallions. “The flat, stone-free grassy paddocks perfectly suit our thoroughbreds as most have special needs resulting from the injuries they suffered while racing,” said Kayne.

“The stories of our horses will engrave this landscape with a kinder path forward for the thousands of thoroughbreds they represent.” As the Saratoga Race Meet wrapped up its most successful year, what racegoers didn’t hear about is the bleak possibility of eventual slaughter that looms over the lives of most thoroughbreds. “The inherent worth of these magnificent creatures is often lost in the superficial glamour of their athletic

prowess,” said Kayne. “Thoroughbreds are so much more than a number in a race day program. It is my goal to transform the way people think about thoroughbreds by sharing their journeys and by offering unprecedented access to comprehend their sentience. When you experience the intelligence and curiosity and willingness of a horse up close and hands on, you can’t help but to fall in love.” Since its founding in 2004, Unbridled Thoroughbred

Foundation has placed hundreds of retiring, unwanted and slaughter-bound thoroughbreds through its retraining and re-homing efforts. The organization has achieved the highest accolades for its commitment to transparency from the Equus Foundation, Global Federation of Sanctuaries, GuideStar, and Great NonProfits. Unbridled is a federally registered 501(c)3 public charity. To learn more visit: www.UnbridledFoundation. org.

Hudson gets first win in shootout with Vliet By Tim Martin Columbia-Greene Media

HUDSON — In one of the wildest and most entertaining games in John Davi’s sixyear tenure as Hudson varsity football coach, the Bluehawks defeated Watervliet, 50-44, in overtime on Friday night for their first victory of the season. The game featured numerous big plays and momentum shifts with the final outcome not settled until Zyonn Clanton’s three-yard run on Hudson’s fifth play of overtime. “We’ve talked from the beginning of the season about adversity and how to react to it and this is exactly how I needed them to respond,” Davi said. “They never gave up, nobody hung their head, everybody came out and played as a unit and a couple things went our way.” Hudson (1-2) rolled to a 22-12 lead by halftime, but Watervliet (1-1) took the second half kickoff and running first-year coach Pete Porcelli’s Double Wing offense, marched 60 yards for a touchdown, with a nine-yard run by Kareem Duncan capping the drive. Quarterback Thomas Gordon passed to Dom Rogalo for the two-point conversion to narrow Hudson’s lead to 22-20. Hudson’s offense wasted little time responding to Vliet’s See HUDSON B6

Germantown girls fall in tournament By Tim Martin Columbia-Greene Media

HUNTER — The Germantown Girls Soccer team waged an epic battle against Delaware League leaders Roxbury of Section IV at the Hunter-Tannersville Tournament on Saturday and came out on the short side of a 1-0 final. According to Germantown Coach Mike Pudney, his team had another very impressive team possession game but couldn’t break through a very stingy Roxbury defense which was backed by exceptional goalie play by Roxbury’s Bryanna Meehan. Pudney said the Roxbury squad reminds him a lot of his own. “They play a really good brand of soccer front to back. They have very good spacing and thoughtful possessions, with a shut down defensive line and a very good goal keeper,” he said. Clippers’ netminder Kaitlyn Stagno matched her counterpart’s play throughout with the only blemish on her sheet the result of a deflection by Roxbury striker Leigh Lalosh during a chaotic scramble to clear a corner kick served by Roxbury’s Myah Johnston with 7:27 remaining in the match. Roxbury earned eight corner kicks

for the match to Germantown’s six. “In the end we gave up one too many corner kicks today,” said Pudney. Germantown outshot Roxbury for the match, 17-12. Meehan had 17 saves for Roxbury. Stagno collected 11 saves for the Clippers Germantown remains unbeaten in CHVL play at 5-0 and is 6-2 overall. The Clippers return to CHVL action on Wednesday with a home match against Rensselaer at 4:15 p.m.

PATROON Taconic Hills 1, Cairo-Durham 0 CRARYVILLE — On a hot day on the artificial turf, Patroon Conference girls soccer rivals Cairo-Durham and Taconic Hills had a scoreless battle for nearly 70 minutes of play until Clare Howard played a clean pass to Kaitlyn Hotaling who blasted a shot from nearly 40 yards out over the out reached hands of the Cairo-Durham keeper. The Titans held that scoreline until the end of the match and won 1-0 on Friday. The Titans possessed the ball for most of the match and turned away several solid transition opportunities by the Mustangs. Both teams

represented their respective schools with pride and respect. Titan keeper, Lauren Adamo, played a solid match between the pipes with seven saves. Taconic Hills out shot CairoDurham, 11-7. Greenville 2, Maple Hill 1 (2OT) GREENVILLE — Molly Quinn scored the winning goal in the second overtime off an assist by Morgan Whitbeck as Greenville edged Maple Hill, 2-1, in Friday’s Patroon Conference girls soccer match. Maple Hill Kylie Roloson scored in the first half to put the Wildcats up, 1-0. Greenville’s Morgan Whitbeck tied the game in the second at the 18 minute mark from an assist by Megan Misuraca. Mia Fleck made 10 saves for Maple Hill. Josie O’Hare had 11 saves for Greenville. Catskill 12, Hudson 0 CATSKILL — Maci Mosher scored five goals to lead Catskill to a 12-0 victory over Hudson in Patroon Conference girls soccer action on Saturday.

Sabathia was alone at home plate, soaking up the love, until his mother, wife and children appeared on the gigantic screen reading letters of thanks to the man who proved he wasn’t afraid to cry. More than once Sabathia wiped away his tears; who knew he was such a softy? But, no, the old war horse wasn’t embarrassed, not in what was probably the final home game of his career. And Sabathia wasn’t alone in his emotions, either. In the Yankees’ dugout, Aaron Judge was swallowing hard. Brett Gardner reached for sunglasses to hide his moistening eyes. And Aaron Boone, who is both Sabathia’s manager and friend, didn’t just weep; he nearly had to retreat into the tunnel to avoid making a scene. “I was going to really lose it,” Boone said after the ceremony, which was only one of multiple story lines for the Yankees on Sunday. They flattened the Toronto Blue Jays, 8-3, kept pressure on the Houston Astros for the American

League’s best home record, and watched Luis Severino fine-tune his arsenal in preparation

for their division series, which begins in less than two weeks.

These are all critical elements in the Yankees’ pursuit of a championship. The machinery will ramp up in the final five games this week, all on the road, against the Tampa Bay Rays and the Texas Rangers. But there was still enough time to give Sabathia a proper send-off. Although he will remain on the active roster throughout October, his role will be limited to middle relief, if that. Knowing the finish line is near, Sabathia was able to take an overhead view of a 19-year career that will almost certainly land him in the Baseball Hall of Fame, possibly on the first ballot. Sabathia had seen so many teammates age out and say goodbye during his summers in the Bronx — Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada — and admitted, at age 39 and after nearly 3,600 innings, he was ready to follow them into retirement. “I won’t miss the competition; I’ll miss the guys,” Sabathia told reporters. “The way I pitch — emotionally — I’m exhausted. I never thought I’d end up playing this long. It turned out to be a blessing.” The feeling goes both ways in the clubhouse, where Sabathia is easily one of the most popular Yankees. In fact, the pregame tribute was so moving, Boone said the Yankees were “inspired See SABATHIA B6

Daniel Jones’ debut changes everything for the Giants Adam Kilgore The Washington Post

Daniel Jones walked into the New York Giants’ huddle late Sunday evening with no timeouts remaining and no stirring speech to give. His teammates had yet to see him rattled by anything - not the boos on draft night, not months of talk radio vitriol, not playing in the shadow of a New York football legend. Now he trailed by six with just over three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, and when they looked at him they saw the same steadiness, a quarterback in full control. “Get it done,” Jones said. And then he called the play. For months, Jones existed as an object of mockery and a symbol of supposed organizational incompetence. On Sunday afternoon, in a 32-31 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he revealed himself to be the fluorescent future of the New York Giants. In his NFL debut, Jones passed for 336 yards, threw two touchdown passes, ran for two more scores, led a game-winning touchdown drive and, give or take depending on the accuracy of the latest New York City census, converted about 8.5 million skeptics. Last weekend, Jones was Eli Manning’s backup and a source of blurry optimism for a proud franchise suddenly losing its way. Now he is the both the Giants’ exciting present and unbridled hope for the future. The Giants’ roster remains in decay, as the performance of their defense suggested. But they have Saquon Barkley and Evan Engram and Jones, and suddenly that looks like the basis of something real. It’s only one game, sure. But did you see that game? Jones stepped in for Manning, benched after having started 223 of 224 regular season games over 15 years while winning two Super Bowls along the way. The Giants, 0-2 to start the day, trailed by 18 at halftime. Jones lost Barkley, the engine of the Giants’ offense, to a gruesome ankle injury late in the second quarter. Jones was sacked five times and lost two fumbles. “He could have easily shut it down and got discouraged,” Engram said over the phone from Tampa, just before boarding the team bus. “He played it cool.” Jones dragged the Giants to a victory. He hit tight end Engram for a 75-yard touchdown on the first play of the second half. He dropped a gorgeous touchdown pass from a crowded pocket to Sterling Shepard, chased by two defenders. Trailing by six with 3:16 remaining, Jones marched the

Giants downfield. He faced fourth and five at the 7, dropped back, saw the middle of the field clear and darted into the end zone. The Giants still could have lost. Their defense, which seems to be terrible, surrendered 66 yards in three plays, which set up Tampa for a gamewinning, 34-yard field goal. Jones’s magic carried over to special teams: Matt Gay pushed the kick right, teammates mobbed Jones on the sideline, and Barkley sprinted on the field despite crutches and a walking boot on his right leg. “That’s the best feeling,” Engram said. “It’s so addicting.” No rookie in NFL history - let alone one making his first start on the road, in place of a quarterback who had won two Super Bowls - had ever thrown for at least 300 yards while both rushing and passing for multiple touchdowns. When the Giants drafted Jones sixth overall in April, both franchise and quarterback became targets of social media derision and tabloid ridicule. The New York Post chose “Blue’s Clueless” for its back cover the next morning, splashed under a photo of Jones in a Duke uniform. NFL

evaluators had a more positive view of Jones than media and fans, but public opinion took hold and built on itself. It became an accepted and easy stance that General Manager Dave Gettleman was a dope and Jones was a bust waiting to happen. “Oh, man, it honestly didn’t faze him at all,” Engram said. “It was bad on draft night. I knew it wouldn’t bother him or hinder him. But I knew it would put something in his tank and motivate him. He’s a great guy. He was prepared for the moment.” Preparing for the moment - that was the theme of the NFL week. Eight teams started a different quarterback in Week 3 than they started in Week 1, or planned on starting late in training camp. Those eight quarterbacks - Jacoby Brissett, Kyle Allen, Teddy Bridgewater, Mason Rudolph, Josh Rosen, Luke Falk, Gardner Minshew II and Jones - went 5-3 despite seven of their games coming on the road. One of the losers, Rudolph, put the Pittsburgh Steelers in position to win late in the fourth quarter. Those quarterbacks entered for different

reasons and in divergent circumstances. The New Orleans Saints signed Bridgewater to the richest contract for a backup in the league as insurance for Drew Brees, and their careful planning paid off with a victory in Seattle. Allen and Rudolph replaced injured incumbents while giving teams looks at potential heirs apparent. The Philadelphia Eagles showed the importance of a good backup two years ago, when Nick Foles steered a loaded roster to a Super Bowl title. This season will only reiterate that. Further injuries are inevitable. It is likely a matter of time before Dwayne Haskins receives the reins in Washington. Given Marcus Mariota’s struggles in the wake of Tennessee not reaching a contract extension with him, Ryan Tannehill may get a shot behind center for the Titans. Jones was not a typical backup. The Giants drafted him with the clear plan he would replace Manning. That it happened after two games showed both how ineffective Manning was and how quickly Jones had developed. His mobility ultimately won the Giants the game, but all game long it made New York’s offense more dynamic and opened up Giants Coach Pat Shurmur’s playbook. “He took a couple sacks, the fumbles, some of that loose stuff, we can work on that,” Shurmur said. “There’s drills for that. But the stuff that he did in the game, there’s not drills for that. We believed in him from the day we drafted him. And first time out, he didn’t disappoint.” Jones’ performance in preseason, when he completed 29 of 34 attempts for 416 yards and two touchdowns, reduced the volume of criticism directed at Jones. His promising first half validated Jones’ preseason, and the second half eliminated any lingering doubt. In the Giants’ locker room, Shurmur told the offense his plan for the first snap of the third quarter. The Bucs would be expecting the Giants to run the ball to protect their rookie. Instead, the Giants would run play-action. The scheme put Engram on a linebacker, and Engram torched him over the middle, turned and ran for a 75-yard touchdown. “He was definitely in a groove,” Engram said. “He definitely is communicating. He just stays efficient, stayed cool. He had a swagger to him in the huddle.” That swagger had been missing from the Giants. It may have been just one game, but the Giants know it will stay there for a long time to come.

Antonio Brown says he’s done with NFL, blasts Kraft and Roethlisberger Cindy Boren and Mark Maske The Washington Post

Two days after parting with his third team in six months, Antonio Brown declared himself to be “finished with the NFL” in a Sunday morning tweet, while calling out New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. The talented wide receiver was released by the Patriots on Friday amid an investigation into rape and sexual assault accusations, but found a way to make waves ahead of the NFL’s Week 3 Sunday game. In addition to his announcement, Brown fired off scorchedearth tweets that he deleted just before noon, implying there was a double standard in how he was treated compared to Kraft, who has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor charges of soliciting a prostitute last winter, and others who have been accused of sexual assault, including his former quarterback in Pittsburgh, Roethlisberger, and Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe. “Will not be playing in the @NFL anymore,” he tweeted,

“these owners can cancel deals do whatever they want at anytime we will see if the @NFLPA hold them accountable sad they can just void guarantees anytime going on 40m 2 months will see if they pay up !” After being traded by the Steelers in March, he was cut by the Oakland Raiders before the start of the season. His stint with Kraft’s Patriots lasted just 11 days and one game. Although he played in Week 2 after the filing of a lawsuit alleging rape and sexual assault in 2017 and 2018, he was cut after a Sports Illustrated report last week that he had allegedly threatened a second victim. Brown has not been arrested and he has denied the allegations by both women. He has not addressed the threats. “Kraft got caught in the parlor AB speculations fired different strokes different folks clearly,” he tweeted. In response to his Patriots ouster, he will file a grievance, according to ESPN, to get the $10 million guaranteed by New England, with $5 million of the $9 million signing bonus due to be paid Monday. The NFL Players Association will represent

him. However, personal misconduct can void guarantees, something contained in contracts in all sports leagues. His tweet about the Patriots owner isn’t going to engender any goodwill with Kraft, and even though Brown deleted it, it may trigger a clause that would void his deal. The Patriots declined to comment through a spokesman about Brown’s comments about Kraft. New England Coach Bill Belichick declined to comment after Sunday’s victory over the New York Jets on the decision to release Brown, saying: “Yeah, we’ll just focus on today’s game.” The NFLPA did not immediately respond to a request for comment about a potential grievance or grievances on behalf of Brown. His contract with the Patriots includes a clause saying that his guarantees “will be null and void” if he “takes any action that materially undermines the public’s respect for, or is materially critical of, the Club, Player’s teammates or the Club’s ownership, coaches, management, operations or policies.” Brown’s one-year contract

with the Patriots was to be worth up to $15 million and included a $9 million signing bonus. The Oakland Raiders previously informed Brown that they were voiding about $29.1 million in guarantees in his three-year, $50.1 million contract with them. The Raiders accommodated Brown’s request to be released Sept. 7 after a series of incidents that included a practice-field verbal confrontation with General Manager Mike Mayock. Brown agreed to his contract with the Patriots later that day, and the team announced the signing Sept. 9. In his tweets, Brown called out Roethlisberger, noting that he was suspended in 2010 for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy after being accused of sexually assaulting a Georgia college student following a night of drinking. He was the first player suspended under the NFL’s personal conduct policy who was not arrested, charged with or convicted of a crime. “4 games for Big Ben,” he tweeted, “crazy world I’m done with it.” Shannon Sharpe, the Hall of Famer who appears on FS1

State of the wild-card race: Nationals seem destined for another clash with Brewers Sam Fortier The Washington Post

The question for the Washington Nationals now seems to be, where will the wild-card game be played? That might seem like we’re getting ahead of ourselves. The Nationals have, after all, blown a seven-game lead they had for a playoff spot three weeks ago. But with the reeling Chicago Cubs sinking in the National League wild-card standings - they’ve lost six straight - it appears likelier every day Washington will play in October. The Nationals return home Monday from their last road trip of the year tied with the Milwaukee Brewers for the top spot in the wild-card race. The Cubs sit four games

back and the New York Mets, with longerthan-longshot odds, are four and a half. If the Nationals go 4-4 in their final eight games of the season - five against the Philadelphia Phillies and three against the Cleveland Indians - they’re guaranteed a spot in the wild-card game. The Cubs play three in Pittsburgh against the Pirates and three in St. Louis against the Cardinals, and every loss they take is one fewer win the Nationals need. The Cubs don’t seem poised to go on a 6-0 run. The Cardinals swept all four games from them this weekend, each by a run, and the Cubs entered full tailspin. The Nationals’ focus turns to the Brewers, a team thought to be out of it after star outfielder

and reigning NL most valuable player, Christian Yelich, broke his right kneecap earlier this month. Instead, the Brewers have won 15 of their last 17 and now sit in the driver’s seat to host the wild-card game. The Brewers’ 4-2 headto-head record against the Nationals this season means that, if the two teams tie to end the year, the one-game playoff would be held in Miller Park. Home-field advantage in the NL wild-card round has been far from decisive - road teams are 5-2 since the format’s implementation in 2012 - but it might be more important for the Nationals. They finish the season with 11 games in 10 days.

and formerly appeared on CBS, was accused sexual assault and making threats by a former girlfriend in 2010. The charges were dismissed, but that report did not escape Brown, either. Brown continued with another tweet, sharing a link to a Daily Beast story about Sports Illustrated writer Robert Klemko allegedly being threatened by Patriots fans after he reported the second allegation, the one that led to Brown’s release. “System working effectively,” he noted. Brown threatened retirement last month, when the helmet he had worn through his career was discontinued by the manufacturer and not certified by the national governing body because it was more than 10 years old. Brown was one of 32 NFL players who wore nonapproved helmets last season and were told they would not be able to wear them this year under a program jointly administered by the league and the NFL Players Association. He filed, and lost, a grievance and began working out with the Raiders, until his Sept. 9 release. Brown’s latest retirement threat may well be a moot

issue because the NFL hinted in a statement Friday that if a team were to pick up Brown, he would immediately be placed on the commissioner’s exempt list, meaning that he would not be allowed to play or attend practice while the NFL is investigating the allegations against him. The league added that it had “made no findings” yet. “As long as Mr. Brown is a free agent, placement on the commissioner’s exempt list is not appropriate,” the statement said. “If he is signed by a club, such placement may become appropriate at any time depending on the status of the investigation. Upon the conclusion of the investigation, he may also be subject to discipline if the investigation finds that he has violated the law or league policies.” On Friday, Brown’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, wrote on Twitter that Brown is “healthy and is looking forward to his next opportunity in the NFL,” adding that he hoped to play “soon” for another team.

NFL Week 3 takeaways: The backup quarterbacks are all right John Clayton The Washington Post

New Orleans Saints Coach Sean Payton has been around Philadelphia Eagles Coach Doug Pederson at enough charity golf events to assume they’ve spent at least some of that time discussing the value of backup quarterbacks. After all, Pederson won a Super Bowl with Nick Foles filling in for an injured Carson Wentz. Following Pederson’s lead, Payton made sure he made a high-priced investment in Teddy Bridgewater - who, like Foles, was a former starter - in case anything happened to Drew Brees. Bridgewater did enough Sunday in a 33-27 road victory over the Seattle Seahawks to keep the Saints’ Super Bowl hopes alive while they await the return of Brees following thumb surgery. He wasn’t the only backup quarterback to be tested in Week 3. An incredible total of 20 quarterbacks who are 26 years old or younger started games this week, a number we haven’t seen since the 1987 strike year when the replacement players took over. Normally, teams will see as much as a sixor seven-point drop in going from a good or great starting quarterback to a backup. But there were far more success stories than failures among this week’s fill-in passers: - Daniel Jones won his first start replacing Eli Manning for the New York Giants, bringing the team back for a huge comeback. - Kyle Allen bought time for Cam Newton to recover from a foot injury by leading the Carolina Panthers to an 18-point win over the Arizona Cardinals. - Rookie Gardner Minshew has stunned everyone by keeping the Jacksonville Jaguars competitive after the loss of Foles to an injury. - Jacoby Brissett led the Indianapolis Colts to a 27-24 win over the Atlanta Falcons, giving them an impressive 2-1 start since taking over following Andrew Luck’s surprise retirement - Mason Rudolph somewhat justified the Minkah Fitzpatrick trade by giving the Pittsburgh Steelers a chance to win on the road in San Francisco, with Ben Roethlisberger out for the season following elbow surgery. Fitzgerald is the seventh first-round pick on the Steelers defense, and it will be eight when linebacker Devin Bush, this year’s 10th overall pick, totally assumes leadership role on the defense. At the moment, though, the defense isn’t living up to its talent level and the

Steelers are 0-3. Longtime NFL coach Ted Marchibroda always preached that a good backup quarterback can win a team three games, but if you play him six games, he can lose a team the next three. The Saints and other teams are about to put that maxim to the test, but in the case of Bridgewater and Brissett, there seems to be a path to sustainable success. The loss of a great starting quarterback, in both teams’ cases, may not kill a season. Brissett completed 28 of 37 passes for 310 yards in the win over Atlanta, giving the Colts a share of first place in the AFC South at 2-1. Three of their next four games are at home (albeit with a road trip to play the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs), with a bye week mixed in. This is a team that could enter midseason very much in the postseason mix. The Colts felt good enough about Brissett to upgrade his contract and give him a two-year, $30 million deal. With his history of protecting the football and his recent success at completing a high percentage of his passes, Brissett is living up to the deal. Bridgewater went to the playoffs and earned Pro Bowl honors for the Minnesota Vikings before suffering a severe knee injury that almost ended his career. His win over the Seahawks wasn’t a great performance,

but it was a good start. The big thing is that he didn’t screw it up by committing turnovers, and he made enough plays to win. The Saints were aided by Seahawks’ mistakes, in the form of 14 points from a punt return touchdown and a recovery of a Chris Carson fumble for a touchdown. At the half, Payton said he needed more help from his teammates for Bridgewater to succeed, and got that from halfback Alvin Kamara, who rushed for 69 yards on 16 carries and caught nine passes for 92 yards. Bridgewater completed 19 of 27 passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns. Before the game, the thought was if Bridgewater can get through the next six games with a 3-3 record, Brees could come back and get the Saints to the playoffs. Maybe Bridgewater can do better than 3-3. He wasn’t the only backup to give his team that kind of hope on Sunday. More Week 3 takeaways: - The NFL very quickly addressed its holding penalty problem. Before this Sunday’s games, Al Riveron, the league’s supervisor of officials, had a conference call with referees and told them to ease up on the offensive holding calls. In the first two weeks, officials called 178 holding penalties - a 66 percent increase over the first two weeks last year.

Scoring dropped significantly, and players had begun to complain. On Sunday, the offensive holding calls dropped to 41. Scoring went back up, and there were fewer stoppages because of the flags. Riveron told referees that they should still call the supposed “lobster blocks” in which a lineman grabs a defender on the back side of running plays. That’s more for safety. What he wanted to cut down on was the number of calls in which blockers get their hands outside the framework of a defender. - Patrick Mahomes is off to the kind of start that will give him a shot at back-to-back MVP seasons. He’s on pace to again through 50 touchdowns. He’s completing 71.9 percent of his passes. The Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens, 33-28, and there were times when their offense looked unstoppable. What’s amazing is that the Chiefs have never scored fewer than 26 points in a start during his NFL career. On the losing end, Lamar Jackson completed 22 of 43 passes, which may not be great, but he showed that he and the Ravens could at least hang with the high-powered Chiefs in the close road defeat. - The New York Jets are in deep trouble until Sam Darnold returns, and maybe after that. In the 30-14 loss to New England, thirdstring quarterback Luke Falk was sacked five times and hit on 10 other plays. Le’Veon Bell was stuffed behind the line of scrimmage often. The team is paying cornerback Trumaine Johnson $17 million per year, but he was only on the field for eight plays against the Patriots. The Jets are 0-3, and this looks like it will be a long season. - The Giants got a jolt from Jones’ NFL debut, but their offense also took a big hit. Expect Saquon Barkley to miss four-to-six weeks with a high ankle sprain for the Giants. That’s a disappointing blow for the team, but at least it isn’t a season-ending injury, which seemed to be a possibility when he was first helped off the field. - The Detroit Lions might be the quietest undefeated team in the league. Off to a 2-0-1 start, the Lions aren’t playing great, but they are doing enough to win. They squeaked out a 27-24 victory over an injury-riddled Philadelphia Eagles team on Sunday. The next three games will provide them with a test, however: They host the Chiefs next week, then play at the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football following a bye week, then host the Vikings.

Five NBA coaches who could soon be on the hot seat Ben Golliver The Washington Post

The NBA’s coaching carousel tends to spin in fits and starts, and the upcoming season could represent a time of relative calm. There are a few factors to consider. First, the list of teams facing “title or bust” expectations is short given the league’s newfound parity. Unrealistic expectations tend to drive rash decisions, so a flatter field generally makes life easier for coaches. Second, there are a bunch of fresh faces who are still getting acclimated: Cleveland, Memphis, Phoenix and Sacramento all made new hires this offseason, Chicago and Minnesota upgraded interim coaches to full-time deals, and teams such as Atlanta, New York, Orlando and Charlotte all remain in the honeymoon period with their 2018 hires. Finally, there is a growing list of coaches who seem more or less untouchable: Old standbys like Gregg Popovich, Rick Carlisle, Steve Kerr and Erik Spoelstra have found new company with the likes of Doc Rivers, Nick Nurse, Quin Snyder and Mike Budenholzer. How likely is it, really, for one of those coaches to be replaced by a superior alternative over the next 12 months? Not very likely. Not every coach is safe, of course. Here’s a quick rundown of five who might find themselves feeling the heat in 2019-20. - Frank Vogel, Los Angeles Lakers Vogel deserves a fair shot, but there’s no reason to pretend he will be given an appropriate amount of time and space to execute his vision. The Lakers represent the most pressure-packed job in the NBA: LeBron James’s clock is ticking, the front office mortgaged the future to trade for Anthony Davis and seven full seasons have passed since they have won a playoff series. To make matters worse,

Vogel, who was hired in May, arrives in difficult circumstances. He wasn’t the franchise’s first choice during a convoluted coaching search, former head coach Jason Kidd was placed on his bench and Vogel will be the Lakers’ sixth coach since Phil Jackson retired in 2011. He also must brace for constant comparisons to the crosstown Clippers, who look like a potential juggernaut. But, wait, there’s more. Vogel has no prior ties to James, Davis or the Lakers organization, and a majority of his projected rotation is composed of newcomers. Good luck. - Mike D’Antoni, Houston Rockets Things could be worse for the affable D’Antoni, who gets to build his offense around an MVP-caliber workhorse in James Harden and numerous veterans with continuity. Even so, this summer looks like a slap in the face to the longtime coach, who reportedly engaged and reengaged in contract extension negotiations without reaching an agreement. The latest: Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey told the Houston Chronicle last week that the discussions have been tabled until after the 2019-20 season, making D’Antoni a lame duck as his organization seeks to finally get over the hump in the playoffs. That pressure cooker is complicated by a few other variables, most notably the addition of Russell Westbrook. D’Antoni has the unenviable task of trying to strike the right balance between Harden and Westbrook, two of the highestusage players of the modern era. What’s more, he will need to do so without any financial security of his own while Harden, Westbrook, Eric Gordon and Clint Capela all possess lucrative long-term contracts. If anything goes wrong Harden gets hurt, Westbrook doesn’t fit, mercurial owner Tilman Fertitta’s impatience

boils over, the Rockets draw a tough playoff matchup D’Antoni will be sitting there with “scapegoat” flashing in neon lights on his forehead. - Brett Brown, Philadelphia 76ers Working in Brown’s favor: he received a public vote of confidence from managing partner Josh Harris in May, and he is reportedly owed $15 million over the remaining three years of his current contract. Working against Brown: his job status was a topic of conversation throughout the 2019 playoffs, his ownership group spent the summer heavily investing in its roster, and he will be expected to guide the Sixers, at minimum, to their first Eastern Conference finals since 2001. This is shaping up to be a “no excuses” season for the Sixers. With LeBron James and Kawhi Leonard in the West and Kevin Durant injured, the door is wide open

for Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and veteran additions including Al Horford and Josh Richardson. There is zero margin for Brown to underachieve, and anything short of a hardfought loss to Milwaukee in the East finals should be viewed as a grave disappointment. - Billy Donovan, Oklahoma City Thunder A lot has changed in Oklahoma City since GM Sam Presti picked up Donovan’s 2019-20 option last December. Russell Westbrook? Gone. Paul George? Gone. Title contention expectations? Poof. Playoff hopes? Probably poof too. Still, Donovan has some talent to work with, namely Chris Paul, Danilo Gallinari and Steven Adams. He’s also built goodwill with the Thunder’s front office during his four seasons at the helm, remaining a good soldier despite frequent roster turnover and the departures of major stars.

Automotive Title Clerk Full Time CROSSROADS

This is a tricky situation to gauge from the outside. Donovan doesn’t face any real pressure to win given the summer’s fireworks, but the opportunity to coach a contender is what drew him to the NBA from the college ranks in the first place. - Scott Brooks, Washington Wizards Washington undertook a long-awaited front office makeover this summer, installing Tommy Sheppard in place of the fired Ernie Grunfeld. Brooks, who has two years and $14 million

remaining on his contract, survived the transition but can hardly be feeling secure. Everything should be on the table for the Wizards over the next 12 months, including a Bradley Beal trade, a deep and purposeful rebuild and, yes, a coaching change. Brooks will have his hands full this season, needing to prove that he can show progress on the chemistry and culture fronts while trying to squeeze a competitive team from a roster that lacks many proven players outside Beal.

with his big guys up front. “Our offensive line played fantastic,” Davi said. “Our big guys played great on both sides of the ball. Again, we’re getting better every week.” After a big first half Clanton was held in check in the second by the Watervliet, but stepped up when his team needed him most in overtime. He finished with 96 yards rushing on 15 carries with three touchdowns. He also had seven solo tackles and eight assists on defense. Romano showed exactly what he’s capable of, completing 7 of 17 throws for 189 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for 44 yards and two scores on nine carries. Smith had two receptions

for 83 yards and a touchdown. Alexander had two receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown, Green two catches for 28 yards and Tanner race one catch for five yards. Duncan had another big game for the Cannoneers. A week after scoring five touchdowns against CoxsackieAthens, he scored three more and ran for a pair of two-point conversions. “That number 20 (Duncan) is a load, he’s tough to tackle, but our guys stepped up, made some real big stops and got the football back,” Davi said. “I feel we played with less mistakes.” Clanton’s 15 total tackles led the Bluehawks’ defense. Jaxon Haigh had eight solos,two assists and a fumble recovery; Brock Saunders one solo and eight assists; Smith seven solos; Green four solos; Alexander four solos; Tanners Shook two solos and two assists; Jeremiah Wilburn two solos and one assist; Jake Hromada one solo and two assists; Isaiah Johnson one solo and one assist; Jarrett Crast one solo; Joshua Meicht one solo; Tohidul Bhuiyan one solo; Bryson Moses one assist. Davi couldn’t be happier for his team to get the victory, but knows the road gets even tougher his week. “It’s huge for the guys to get that first win, especially here,” Davi said. “Now we have a tough road. We have to go to Glens Falls, No. 1 in the state, on a Saturday. We’ve seen them on film and they’re not the Glens Falls of old, but they’re still very good.

score as quarterback Caleb Romano dumped off a screen pass to Deandre Smith and the speedy freshman turned it into a 70-yard scoring play. Clanton ran in the two-point conversion to boost the Bluehawks’ advantage back to 10, 30-22. Watervliet then scored two touchdowns in a span of eight seconds in the closing minute of the third quarter to take its first lead. Rogalo raced 47 yards on a fourth down reverse and Naheem Pinckney ran in the two-point conversion to pull the Cannoneers to within 30-28. The ensuing kickoff pinned Hudson deep in its own territory and on first down from the three, disaster struck. A Hudson running back was trapped in his own end zone after taking a handoff and attempted to throw a pass to avoid a safety. The ball was batted in the air and intercepted in the end zone by Watervliet’s Nick McNulty for a Cannoneer touchdown. Duncan added the twopoint conversion run to put the Cannoneers in front, 3630, heading into the final quarter. The Bluehawks came right back with a scoring drive of their own, with Romano finishing up the march with a 28-yard run, breaking several tackles along the way. Clanton ran for the two-point conversion to put Hudson back on top, 38-36, with 10:41 to go in regulation.

Chatham, which came into the game averaging close to 60 points per game through the first two games of the season, was held scoreless in the first half as LG/HL built a 14-0 lead.

Hudson’s Brandon Alexander hauls in a 21-yard touchdown pass from Caleb Romano during Friday’s cross-division game against Watervliet at the Bluehawks Sports Complex.

Romano, who hooked up with Brandon Alexander for a 52-yard gain earlier in the quarter, tossed a 21-yard scoring strike to his junior tight end with 5:17 play, but the two-point conversion try failed, making the score 44-36. With time winding down, Watervliet put together an impressive drive and with

1:11 left in regulation, Patrick Moore scored on a one-yard run. Duncan ran in the twopoint conversion to even the score at 44-44. The game went to overtime where each team gets possession at their opponents’ 20-yard line. Watervliet had first crack at scoring, but came up empty on four plays.

“We made some adjustments and brought another body up on the line of scrimmage and that was the key, that helped us,” Davi said of his team’s defensive stand. Hudson took over and promptly lost 10 yards back to the 30. On a fourth and 12 play from the 22, Romano fired a bullet over the middle to Mike Green for a first and goal at the three. On the next play, Clanton bulldozed his way into the end zone for the winning score. “We took some gambles tonight, but we’re young and these guys are talented and when they get going in the right direction they are hard to stop,” Davi said. Davi was especially pleased

Baseball’s domestic violence policy. MLB has been investigating an incident involving German and could have a ruling about his suspension as soon as Monday. But just as German fades from the Yankees’ playoff plans, Severino is quickly emerging to take his place. He allowed Toronto three hits in five shutout innings, striking out nine. With a fastball that topped out at 98.9 mph and generated 12 swings

and misses, the right-hander confidently said, “I’m 100%.” And Severino’s recovery from season-long shoulder and latissimus dorsi issues means more than just the return of his old velocity. He is now using his changeup as often as the slider, including to right-handed hitters. “The game is so much about numbers and statistics, which all say I pitch away to them,” Severino said, referring to

right-handers. “So I’m throwing the changeup inside, give them something else to think about, which is going to help me a lot.” Granted, Severino mowed down one of the American League’s weakest lineups; the Jays are last in batting average (.237). But the Yankees were less interested in Sunday’s particulars than whether he can be counted on in highleverage situations in October. In fact, Boone may soon

have a delightful problem on his hands, deciding whether Severino or the lately unhittable James Paxton should start Game 1 of the division series. Paxton, a left-hander who did not allow an earned run over six innings in Saturday’s 7-2 win over Toronto, has not lost since July 26. He’s won his past 10 starts, thanks to a deadly combination of high90s fastballs and a curveball so sharp it looks as if it has been caught in a wind shear.

Paxton said he now had “total faith” in that curveball and the way it increased the perceived velocity of his fastball. If the Yankees’ rotation is truly as strong at the top as it currently appears, the club’s farewell gift to Sabathia could end up topping the all-expensespaid vacation to Japan for him and his family. A championship ring would be the best finishing touch of all.

Warriors’ lead in half with six minutes to go in the third quarter on a 29-yard scoring run by Quinten Kastner. Jacob Rippel’s point after kick made it 14-7. Chatham tied the game with 9:20 left in the fourth quarter on a seven-yard run by Thomas Van Tassel and Rippel’s extra point. The game remained tied at the end of regulation, setting up overtime. Chatham got the ball first in the extra session and couldn’t score, leaving the door open for LG/HL and the Warriors took advantage, scoring the winning points on quarterback Cole Clarke’s two-yard run. Kastner finished with 121 yards rushing and a touchdown on 12 carries for Chatham (2-1). Van Tassel added 29 yards and a TD on nine

carries, Casey Sitzer 26 yards on 12 carries and Jacob Sorros 11 yards on two carries. Sitzer completed two of seven passes for 23 yards with two interceptions.

Sister is left out of the loop when family visits Dear Abby, I live in Atlanta, and my family lives four hours south. My brother travels here often to visit his girlfriend and their son. I never know he’s in town unless another family member mentions it or he posts a photo of himself at a local landmark. My parents and brother DEAR ABBY came here to attend my nephew’s school band concert. No one mentioned that they were coming or contacted me during their visit. I learned about it after speaking with my grandmother the following day. Since then, I have spoken to my parents once briefly, and they still haven’t mentioned it. Apparently, judging from the group text I just received, my brother is back in town again today for another event. I don’t want to make this about me, but I feel left out. Do I have the right to have hurt feelings? Forgotten Sister In Georgia

JEANNE PHILLIPS

You have the right to feel however you feel. But I have to wonder how close you and your brother really are, and whether you get along with the girlfriend. I suspect this may be why you are not included during these visits. Your parents may not have told you they were in town because they were asked not to or didn’t want to hurt your feelings. I think it’s time for a family discussion, don’t you? Dear Abby, I’ve always been very independent and

haven’t had many serious relationships in my 34 years of life. For the last two years, I have been in a healthy relationship with a man who is kind, smart and makes me feel like I can be myself. On our first anniversary, although we had never talked about marriage, he surprised me with a proposal. I didn’t feel the excitement and joy that I had always pictured myself feeling when this moment finally happened to me. We haven’t set a wedding date, nor am I thrilled about getting married. I love this person and appreciate him, but I feel like I should be over-the-moon about spending forever with him. Do these blase feelings mean this isn’t the right person for me, or that I’m simply not ready for the next step? Bewildered Mountain Girl Real life isn’t like it is portrayed in the movies and on television. There is no cookie-cutter reaction to receiving a proposal. Many women would be thrilled to receive a proposal of marriage from a man who is kind, smart and with whom they can be themselves. (I am not implying that this should be you.) My recommendation is that you two have a LONG engagement as well as premarital counseling, so you can both determine what’s important to you and if you are on the same page. Frankly, these discussions should have started well before a proposal.

Lifestyle changes can be lifechanging, with dedicated effort I ran across a recent article of yours about carotid artery stenosis. In this article you state that “there is no miracle food, drink or supplement that can clear out arteries.” This is actually not true. I’d like to point out Dr. Dean Ornish’s work as well as Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn’s work on heart disease. Both doctors showed TO YOUR regression in coronary plaques GOOD HEALTH in their patients who followed a whole food plant-based diet. One young patient who suffered a heart attack even saw complete reversal in his coronary artery blockage on a whole food plant-based diet. I’d encourage you to check out their studies and books if you haven’t done so already. Their work is very encouraging and shows that we do not have to succumb to heart disease.

DR. KEITH ROACH

I appreciate your writing to give me a chance to make my point a little more clearly. I do want to emphasize that the patient was asking specifically about YouTube videos for “food, drinks and diet regimens that clear arteries.” I have seen some of these, which say, for example, all you need is a cup a day of lemon juice and turmeric to clear your arteries. There are health care professionals in the media who tout simple cures to reverse heart disease. These are what I refer to when I say there are no miracle cures. That is not what you are referring to in the work of Drs. Ornish and Esselstyn. Theirs was a significant lifestyle intervention, not a miracle

supplement. Dr. Esselstyn did a small, uncontrolled observational study; Dr. Ornish did a small controlled study. In the Esselstyn study, the diet was quite restrictive: “Initially the intervention avoided all added oils and processed foods that contain oils, fish, meat, fowl, dairy products, avocado, nuts and excess salt. Patients were also asked to avoid sugary foods (sucrose, fructose and drinks containing them, refined carbohydrates, fruit juices, syrups, and molasses). Subsequently, we also excluded caffeine and fructose.” The Ornish study had a similar completely vegetarian diet, but 10% of calories from fat was allowed. In addition, there was (as there was not in Esselstyn) mandatory stress reduction time, and all smokers in the study quit. This study’s results, proven by angiography, showed reversal in coronary blockages by 3% in five years, compared with 12% worsening in the control group in the same time. Esselstyn analyzed the study by those judged adherent and nonadherent. For any subject who was judged nonadherent, 62% had coronary events. Less than 1% of adherent subjects experienced an adverse event. Together, these studies show that in a group of extraordinarily motivated study subjects, coronary lesions can undergo regression with a multiinterventional approach including profound diet changes and sometimes other lifestyle interventions. These aren’t miracle diets. It’s an entire dramatic change in lifestyle.
