U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, D-19, called for the impeachment of President Donald Trump on Tuesday morning following news that Trump pressured the Ukrainian president to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden.

“The president has admitted to soliciting the Ukrainian president to investigate a political rival,” Delgado said in a statement. “In doing so, the president used the power of the presidency to pressure a foreign government to help him win an election. This, by itself, is an impeachable offense.”

Trump had a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on July 25, which he has defended as a See DELGADO A4

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine listens to President Donald Trump address the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, Sept. 24. Democrats are calling for Trump’s impeachment following a call to Zelensky in July.

Michelle Hinchey formally announced the launch of her campaign for the 46th district state Senate seat Monday.

Michelle H i n c h e y , Hinchey the daughter of the late U.S. Rep. Maurice Hinchey, is challenging Republican state Sen. George Amedore, R-46, for the district that stretches from Ulster County, through Greene, Montgomery and parts of Albany and Schenectady counties.

“We need to think creatively and act courageously to chart a new path forward for our upstate communities — a path that reflects our rich history,” Hinchey said at her campaign launch Monday morning at the Kingston Senate House — the same place where her father announced his congressional race and retirement.

Hinchey, 31, lives in her hometown of Saugerties. She serves on the board of directors of the Catskill Center, which advocates for environmental and economic health of the Catskill region.

Growing up with a father serving in Congress, Hinchey said she had a front-row seat to effecting positive change and serving the people, and always made it a priority to give back to her community. She hopes to continue that mission as state senator for her home district.

Climate change and the environment are among the largest issues on Hinchey’s agenda, as well as expanding job opportunities — especially within clean energy — and access to quality public education and health care.

“I’m focusing on just meeting as many people as possible and listening to their challenges and concerns,” Hinchey said in an interview Tuesday. “We’ll See HINCHEY A4

The state Bridge Authority discusses operation and maintenance of its five bridges at its monthly meeting last Thursday..

CATSKILL — Cash tolling could soon be a thing of the past for drivers on the state’s five bridges.

But drivers also could soon see increased costs to use those bridges.

The issue was raised by the state Bridge Authority’s Board of Commissioners, which met last Thursday.

Final toll prices haven’t been announced and the increases most likely won’t be determined until next year, when public hearings on both issues are expected to take place.

Each bridge carries a $1.50 cash toll for motorists and

$1.25 for E-ZPass tag holders.

Tolls for commercial vehicles vary. The last toll increase came in 2012.

About 97% of the Bridge Authority’s revenue comes from tolls.

The state Bridge Authority manages five bridges in the state: the Rip Van Winkle Bridge, Mid-Hudson Bridge, Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge, Bear Mountain Bridge and Newburgh-Beacon Bridge.

The authority is looking into implement an all-electronic toll system in the near future.

The plan is expected to eliminate the need for toll workers, but it is unclear when See BRIDGE A4

2 top VW executives and ex-CEO Charged with market manipulation Jack Ewing The New York Times News Service

FRANKFURT, Germany — German prosecutors on Tuesday charged Volkswagen’s two highest-ranking executives and a former chief executive with stock market manipulation for not alerting shareholders when they learned authorities were investigating the company’s diesel emissions.

Hans Dieter Pötsch, chairman of Volkswagen’s supervisory board; Herbert Diess, the chief executive; and Martin Winterkorn, a former chief executive, are accused of failing to inform stockholders of an investigation in the United States that led to charges of emissions cheating.

Volkswagen shareholders did not learn of the cheating until the Environmental Protection Agency issued a notice of violation in September 2015.

Volkswagen’s share price fell by almost half and the cost of the scandal has since topped $30 billion in court settlements and fines.

All three of the accused men issued statements denying accusations that they violated their duty under German law to warn shareholders of events that could affect the stock price.

The allegations are a particular blow to Diess, a former BMW executive who arrived only months before the cheating became public. Diess has been trying to restore Volkswagen’s image by remaking the authoritarian, win-at-all costs company culture that helped foster the scandal.

OUR VIEW

Underage drinking stings can save lives Police will crack down on underage drinking and retailers that serve or sell alcohol to patrons under the age of 21, the legal drinking age. The crackdown will put retailers that risk breaking the law or do not check IDs on alert and, as a vital byproduct, keep alcohol out of the hands of minors.

Under the plan announced Monday by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, police 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.

Police will join forces with the Liquor Authority to check with local retail stores that sell beer and other forms of alcohol. There will be surprise sting operations employing underage people.

More often than not, these snap inspections find stores are complying with the law.

But some operations turn up establishments that flout the law. In Saratoga County, for example, a dozen establishments were cited in February following a two-day, underage alcohol sales sting.

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 by school-age adolescents is associated with poor grades, absenteeism and higher school dropout rates, according to the state agency.

It’s only good health practice to stop illegal sales of alcohol to teenagers and common sense safety to keep teens from drinking and then getting behind the wheel. Underage drinking stings keep bars and liquor stores on their toes but they can also save lives.

But each ride we take that we don’t need to is a micro-contributor to the change in our climate, to the tropical storms battering our coasts, the floods in Iowa, the drought that’s parching global farmlands and contributing to scarcity. All of it is sparking wars and prompting displacement and migrations.

It’s one sky, one planet that we’re all on; borders and walls and oceans don’t change that.

So go ahead, marchers.

Block the streets, make us late, make us think, make us act.

Biden may not be the one to beat Trump Katrina vanden Heuvel The Washington Post

As the Democratic presidential contenders begin a four-month sprint to the Iowa caucuses, the frontrunner, Joe Biden, is in trouble. Biden surged to the lead even before he announced, buoyed by name recognition, experience and his service as vice president to Barack Obama. He was anointed the “most electable” of Democrats. But, now, his early lead in polls is fading, with Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., even inching ahead of him in a recent Iowa poll. This marks only the beginning of Biden’s fall: In reality, as findings from a new book by veteran Democratic pollster and strategist Stanley Greenberg suggest, among the lead contenders Biden might well be the weakest potential opponent to President Trump.

It is not his age but his history that bedevils Biden, and not style but substance that weighs on his candidacy. Biden got the big things wrong repeatedly over the last 40 years. In what he has since called a “big mistake,” he championed the infamous 1994 crime bill that contributed to the unconscionable mass incarceration that particularly ravaged the African American community. As Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, he left Anita Hill to fend for herself during the Clarence Thomas hearings. He defended President Bill Clinton’s repeal of Aid to Mothers of Dependent Children. He consistently backed pro-corporate trade treaties - from the North American Free Trade Agreement to letting China into the World Trade Organization - that savaged America’s manufacturing workers.

He voted for the invasion of Iraq, surely the greatest foreign policy debacle since Vietnam. (He now claims he was duped by then-President George W. Bush.) And he was all in for Wall Street deregulation that helped lead to the worst recession since the Great Depression, then served in the administration that bailed out the banks, put no major banker in jail for what the FBI called

an epidemic of fraud and left homeowners adrift.

Biden’s basic pitch is as the candidate of restoration. He paints Trump as an aberration and promises a return to normalcy. He boasts about the recovery under Obama and chafes at the populist rhetoric against bankers and corporate CEOs. But as Greenberg details in his new book “RIP GOP: How the New America Is Dooming the Republicans,” this isn’t where most voters are - and it certainly isn’t where the core constituents of the Democratic majority coalition are.

Greenberg, who made his name as Clinton’s pollster in 1992, offers a bracing tonic for citizens about Trump’s poisonous politics.

As the 2018 election demonstrated, Trump’s strategy rouses his base; Greenberg notes he has the unbending support of 40 percent of voters. But that same strategy mobilizes his opposition as well. The Democratic base - particularly what Greenberg describes as the rising U.S. electorate - millennials, women (particularly single women), people of color are appalled by and ardently and increasingly opposed to Trump.

They were central to the record turnout in the offyear elections in 2018, and Greenberg’s polling shows them even more engaged headed into 2020. Moreover, a quarter of the Republican Party base is more moderate than the extreme tea party screeds that Trump echoes.

In his book, Greenberg reports that in 2018, among moderate Republicans — one-fourth of the Republican Party — “just 69 percent voted Republican, 12 percent defected to the Democrats, and 19 percent stayed home.”

The new majority in the United States, he argues, embraces diversity, sees immigrants as strengthening the country, rejects the social reaction that Trump Republicans trumpet and demands expansive government addressing real challenges that Trump Republicans deny, such as climate change.

The likely result in the upcoming election, Greenberg

predicts, is a “second blue wave on at least the scale of the first in 2018 and finally will crash and shatter the Republican Party.”

Greenberg indicts Hillary Clinton’s “campaign malpractice” for her loss in 2016. She didn’t want to criticize the Obama recovery and seemed oblivious to the damage done to working people by the financial wilding and the purblind trade policies. She joined Obama in praising a recovery that most Americans were not experiencing. If Clinton had only put a populist focus on the economy in the waning days of the election, Greenberg argues, she would have won. Then again, in an age when voters are understandably cynical about politicians — and when Trump routinely scorns their corruption — credibility matters. Given her history — her husband’s embrace of corporate trade and financial deregulation, her coziness to Wall Street — Clinton would have a hard time credibly presenting herself as a populist tribune.

Unique among leading Democratic contenders, Biden suffers the same problems. His record — which Trump will surely bring up — gets in the way of his rhetoric. And like Clinton, he is unlikely to admit Obama’s flaws for those voters who don’t just want to return to the past.

For months, pundits have been warning about the Democratic candidates going too far to the left — embracing bolder reforms and a bolder, more aggressive agenda. Greenberg’s book is a necessary corrective, demonstrating that Trump’s own tea party extremism is forging a powerful majority coalition intent of ousting him from office and removing those standing in the way of addressing the challenges this country faces.

Ironically, the weakest of these might well be Biden, burdened with defending a series of votes and positions that have not worked for most Americans. Democrats win big if they nominate a candidate credible as an agent of change, willing to take an economy rigged by the few.

“nice” call. But Trump admitted Sunday that he brought up Biden and his son Hunter during the call, accusing the vice president of corruption in connection with Hunter’s former business activities in Ukraine.

“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 the corruption already in the Ukraine,” Trump said to reporters outside the White House.

Since then, calls for

impeachment have amplified. On Monday night, Delgado was one of 146 Democrats who backed impeachment — well over the caucus majority. A growing number of Democratic senators and representatives are coming out with public calls for impeachment.

Barbara Weinstein, of Athens, said she supports the president.

“Oh please, they are always trying to impeach him and they can’t,” Weinstein said.

Greenport resident Mitchell Clapper does not think impeachment will happen.

“Every day it’s something different,” Clapper said.

“Not only won’t they impeach him, he will win another four years.”

Rudolph Giuliani, Trump’s personal attorney, argued that the president could ask a foreign leader anything he wanted and that the real story was related to Biden’s pressuring the Ukrainian government in 2016 to fire its top prosecutor, who was then investigating a company in which Biden’s son, Hunter, had a stake.

Biden’s efforts to get the top Ukrainian prosecutor removed was related to the United States’ belief that he wasn’t weeding out corruption in the country, according to the Washington Post News Service. No evidence has been found that Biden was trying to help his son.

Lori Tompkins, of Hudson, is taking a wait-and-see

attitude on the issue.

“I want to see what happens. You need pretty big evidence to impeach a president,” Tompkins said.

Robert Sampson, also of Hudson, would like to see calls for impeachment move forward, but remains skeptical.

“I wish they would impeach him, but I have heard this before and nothing ever happens,” Sampson said.

Alarms have also sounded over hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid that the administration withheld from Ukraine until last week. Privately, congressional Democrats are questioning whether the aid, which remained frozen during Trump’s call with Zelensky and for several weeks

afterward, was related to the discussion of investigating Biden.

The hold on military aid to “fend off Russian aggression” is “even more troubling” than Trump’s phone call, Delgado said.

“It has become clear that our president has placed his personal interests above the national security of our nation,” Delgado said.

Trump celebrates nationalism in U.N. speech and plays down Iran crisis Michael Crowley and David E. Sanger The New York Times News Service

President Donald Trump delivered a sharp nationalist message and assailed “globalists” in remarks to the world’s leading international body on Tuesday, while taking a notably moderate line on Iranian aggression in the Middle East.

“If you want freedom, hold on to your sovereignty, and if you want peace, love your nation,” Trump said, as he called for stronger borders and new controls on

Hinchey From A1

continue to roll out more of our concrete and specific plans.”

Bridging partisan divides by focusing on universal life experiences and challenges for upstate communities is a goal of Hinchey’s. She added the importance of having a Democratic representative upstate in order to get a seat at the table of the Senate majority.

“If we’re not in that room, we’re not going to have access to resources for our communities,” she said.

In a statement she released in July, when she began

migration. “The future does not belong to globalists. The future belongs to patriots.

The future belongs to sovereign and independent nations.”

Before an audience that had been primed for him to focus on attacks on Saudi oil facilities that the United States has said Iran was behind, Trump said relatively little about the strikes that rattled global energy markets. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo labeled the attacks “an act of war.”

Likely to the relief of his

audience, Trump did not repeat that phrase. To the contrary, he reiterated his distaste for military conflict.

“Many of our friends today were once our greatest foes,” Trump said. “The United States has never believed in permanent enemies. America knows that while anyone can make war, only the most courageous can choose peace.”

“America’s goal is not to go with these endless wars, wars that never end,” he added.

Trump largely repeated

prior broad-stroke complaints about Iran’s “menacing behavior.”

Trump’s speech, a celebration of U.S. economic growth and talk about his negotiations with North Korea and repression in Venezuela, appeared to be part of an effort to tamp down expectations of a strong U.S. response in defense of the Saudis, a key Mideast ally.

Instead, Trump called on Iran to give freedom to its people and engage in new talks with the United States.

Overall, the speech

reaffirmed Trump’s belief in the ideas of nationalism and sovereignty that have fueled the rise of populist leaders across the world. At a body that has often championed the plight of refugees and migrants, Trump offered a firm defense of strong borders.

“Many of the countries here today are coping with the challenges of uncontrolled migration,” he said.

“Each of you has the absolute right to protect your borders. And so, of course, does our country.”

exploring the state Senate race, Hinchey said Amedore “does not fairly or accurately represent the people of the Hudson Valley or Capital Region.” She has cited the Republican incumbant’s votes against the Reproductive Health Act, which codified federal abortion rights into state law, and the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, which has the most ambitious climate targets in the U.S. Amedore, who has served the 46th district since 2015, did not respond to Hinchey’s comments.

“I welcome her into the conversation and look forward to a spirited debate about the future of New York,” Amedore said in

an emailed statement.

Gerald Benjamin, director of the Benjamin Center at SUNY New Paltz, said with Amedore having survived “a very Democratic year,” the incumbent Republican is strong in the district. Benjamin said Hinchey’s comments on Amedore’s voting record “mobilizes the base,” but that she’ll have to do more to beat Amedore.

“Her test is largely political organization and mobilization as much as it is around issues,” Benjamin said.

He added Hinchey’s test includes showing she’s not just running on the basis of her name.

However, with a newly Democrat-controlled state Senate

and a Republican president who is becoming increasingly unpopular among voters across party lines, Benjamin said Republicans have challenges to overcome. Namely, winning back the majority.

U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, D-19, introduced Hinchey at her campaign launch event Monday.

“Michelle is deeply committed to protecting our environment and improving the lives of working families in upstate,” he tweeted after the event. “I am proud to support her candidacy and look forward to working along side her to make positive change in our region.”

Hinchey follows in the footsteps of her father, who served

in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1993 to 2013, and the state Assembly from 1975 to 1992. Maurice was a major advocate for environmental issues and served as chairman of the Environmental Conservation Committee during his time in the Assembly.

The former congressman died in 2017 at the age of 79 from frontotemporal dementia, a rare terminal neurological disorder.

The biggest expenditure will be redecking the western part of the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge to the tune of $90 million. The Newburgh-Beacon Bridge saw the most traffic of the five bridges in 2018, with 26,922,078 trips.

Traffic on all five of the bridges maintained by the authority has increased incrementally since 2011. A slight decline in revenue is predicted in 2019. With the increases in tolls predicted for the early part of the year, the authority is expecting a 37% net revenue increase.

The authority is pursuing solar panels at bridges as part

of state’s push for sustainable energy, provided the solar panels do not have a structural impact on the bridges.

“I want an absolute unqualified assurance from the structural engineers involved, that there is no negative impact to the structure whatsoever,” Commissioner Henry Stanton said Thursday at the meeting. “Our primary goal is to operate and maintain the bridges.”

Jones’ first start gives a glimpse of what might develop for Giants Bob Glauber Newsday

Tearing down and rebuilding an NFL roster is a painstaking ordeal fraught with challenges and setbacks ... and criticism.

Dave Gettleman has taken plenty of shots during the process, including some directed from this space, and the Giants’ 68-year-old general manager is still a long way from constructing a championship-caliber roster. And in the end, he might fall short, as so many personnel executives do over time.

But for the embattled GM, Sunday’s thrilling 32-31 victory offered at least a few glimpses at the possibilities for his team. And maybe, just maybe, some hope that his vision will bear fruit and give the Giants a fighting chance in the years ahead.

Caution: It’s just one game, and there will be no sweeping proclamations about what lies ahead.

Still ...

Start with Daniel Jones, the most important person of all in Gettleman’s reclamation project.

There was near universal scorn at Gettleman’s decision to take the Duke quarterback with the sixth overall pick. The reaction was visceral, and the soft-spoken Jones had suddenly become this polarizing figure, caught in the vortex of criticism aimed squarely at Gettleman. Duke is no football factory, and its most famous quarterback, Dave Brown, had already bombed in New York as a

first-round pick. The misgivings among Giants fans were off the charts, especially after Gettleman

opted to go for a quarterback so early instead of a pass rusher; Kentucky’s Josh Allen would have

been the choice had Gettleman not needed a quarterback.

Convinced there was at least one other team that would have taken Jones before the Giants’ 17th overall choice, Gettleman made the call on Jones and took the heat. Or, should we say, more heat. He’d already been blasted for trading away Odell Beckham Jr. less than a year after signing him to a $95 million contract extension.

But Giants fans saw on Sunday what Gettleman had felt such conviction about from the start. Just as George Young went against popular opinion in drafting Phil Simms in 1979 as the starting point in his reconstruction plan, Gettleman ignored popular sentiment and went with what his eyes and his gut told him: Jones was his guy.

It was a brilliant opening act for Jones, who threw for 336 yards and two touchdown passes, and ran for two touchdowns, including the gamewinner late in the fourth quarter. He was poised throughout the game, even in the face of a heavy rush, and pulled off one of the most electrifying comebacks in franchise history. And he rallied from a 28-10 halftime deficit without Saquon Barkley, who suffered a sprained ankle in the second quarter and is now likely to miss several weeks.

JEROME MIRON/USA TODAY

Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series driver Erik Jones (20) before the start of the South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Playoff standings tighten as first elimination race approaches Field Level Media

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The scenario for Sunday’s much-anticipated Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Playoff race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Course provides exactly the intensity NASCAR fans want, but for the Playoff drivers competing to advance to the Round of 12 - the recently added road course also presents high anxiety.

Coming into Sunday’s Bank of America ROVAL 400 (2:30 p.m. ET on NBC, PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) the four Playoff drivers currently ranked outside the top 12 in the driver Playoff standings include Alex Bowman (13th), Clint Bowyer (14th), Kurt Busch (15th) and Erik Jones (16th).

For Jones, whose No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota failed postrace inspection Saturday night at Richmond Raceway after an apparent fourth-place finish, the only path he has to continue in the Playoffs couldn’t be simpler. He must win. Heading into Charlotte, he is 45 points behind 12th place William Byron and essentially will have to win the race to earn an automatic ticket to the next round.

For what it’s worth in terms of momentum and optimism, Jones’ JGR teammate Martin Truex Jr. has won both of the opening two Playoff races and his three JGR teammates finished 1-2-3 at Richmond.

Joining Jones on the outside looking in is Bowman, however this season’s first-time race winner (Chicago) is only two points behind his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Byron in 12th. Bowyer is four points behind Byron and Busch is 14 points behind Byron.

Interestingly, Bowyer, Bowman and Busch, finished third, fourth and fifth, respectively, at the ROVAL debut race last year. Jones was 30th

- one of 14 cars collected in a crash on Lap 105 of the 109-lap race.

“So we just have to get stage points and have a good day all day,” Bowman said looking ahead after a disappointing 24th-place finish at Richmond on Saturday.

“If we don’t make the next round, we don’t really deserve to be there with how we are running right now.

It’s definitely a bummer, but we have to get our stuff together.”

Bowyer, who was ranked as high as eighth in the Playoff standings after the season’s first Richmond race in April, appeared to be an easy entrant into the championship field.

But the driver of the No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford had to race his way back into Playoff eligibility in the final regular season race.

And since then has established a definitive Playoff intensity. He sits only two points outside the cutoff of moving on in his 2019 title fight.

The 40-year old veteran has four top-10 finishes in the last five races and won the pole position for the Las Vegas Playoff opener. His eighth-place finish at Richmond - a venue where he has won twice previously - was exactly what he needed to remain in contention for the ticket to move forward. And he does boast the best Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Course finish (third) among those four drivers hoping to advance in the title run.

“We gave ourselves a fighting chance going into Charlotte,” Bowyer said. “I knew Richmond was gonna be an opportunity. We semicapitalized on that opportunity, but looking forward to Charlotte.

“It’s gonna be fun for everybody involved. It’s do-or-die time. It’s the Playoffs. You watch these football teams go through these playoffs and how exciting it is and it’s our turn to have that nerve-racking moments and do-or-die moments for your race team and your season.

But I’m looking forward to it.”

Part of what motivates Bowyer is how close the championship contenders are even above the cutoff line. Not only are the points tight among three of the four drivers still looking to lock in a Playoff position, the points are tight from essentially ninth place Ryan Newman all the way to 12th place Byron, who is on the Playoff bubble.

The Roush-Fenway Racing driver Newman - who qualified for the Playoffs in 16th position - now sits 14 points inside the top 12 and holds a slim six-point edge over 10th place Ryan Blaney, who is the defending Charlotte Playoff race champion.

Newman is 11 points up on Aric Almirola in 11th place and is 12 points up on Byron in 12th. So a mere 12 points separate ninth place from the 12th place cutoff. And a mere 26 points separate Newman from 15th place Kurt Busch.

None of these margins feel especially safe. And that’s even more so the case at such a new venue as the 2.28-mile Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Course that so famously requires both top notch road racing ability and oval driving skill.

“Everyone else has the same goal, we we’ll just try to do our jobs and not have any issues and see what happens,” Team Penske’s Blaney said.

With his two-race Playoff sweep thus far, Truex has won his way into the next round of the postseason.

In addition, Stewart-Haas Racing’s Kevin Harvick and Joe Gibbs Racing’s Kyle Busch have clinched their spots in the Round of 12 on points following Richmond; leaving nine spots still up for grabs in the Playoff standings. Defending Cup champion Joey Logano is sixth in the standings, 50 points ahead of the postseason cutoff.

Islanders break ground on arena at Belmont Park Allan Kreda The New York Times News Service

The New York Islanders finally removed all doubt about their move to Belmont Park, putting shovels into the ground Monday, almost two years after vowing to return full time to Long Island with a new arena on the racetrack grounds.

The 19,000-seat arena (about 17,000 for hockey) is expected to be in use for the 2021-22 hockey season, ending the team’s stay in Brooklyn, which began in the 2015-16 season.

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who pressed for development of the arena, participated in the groundbreaking ceremony, along with members of the team; Jon Ledecky, the Islanders’ majority owner; NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman; and construction workers.

“The Islanders are more than a hockey team. They were a Long Island identity,” said Cuomo, who was flanked by Ledecky and Islanders captain Anders Lee as they moved ceremonial scoops of dirt with shovels that had hockey sticks for handles. “They said to Long Island, ‘You are special, you have your own team.’ There’s no place like the Islanders playing

on Long Island, period.”

Bettman announced that seven more games — including both regular-season contests against the New York Rangers — would be added to the schedule for this season for the Islanders’ other current home, Nassau Coliseum.

The season will start there Oct. 4 for the Islanders with a game against the Washington Capitals.

That means 28 of the Islanders’ 41 home games will be played on Long Island and only 13 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. The team split last season between Barclays Center and Nassau Coliseum, the Islanders’ original home in Uniondale starting in 1972.

The governor, Ledecky and Bettman originally announced the proposed Belmont redevelopment in December

2017, putting the arena on the site of parking lots near the racetrack grandstand.

The $1.3 billion construction project is expected to add Long Island Railroad access both eastbound (by 2021) and westbound (in late 2022) to Belmont Park — home of the Belmont Stakes, the third leg of the Triple Crown. The park opened in 1905.

“People can take the Long Island Railroad to the games,” Cuomo said. “That is a gamechanger. It’s long overdue.”

Ledecky said the new home rink would bring stability to the franchise after several seasons of splitting time between Uniondale and Brooklyn, not to mention many years of uncertainty before the Islanders moved to Brooklyn.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

NFL rankings Week 4: Cowboys, Packers are on the heels of Rams for NFC supremacy Mark Maske The Washington Post

Each week, Washington Post NFL writer Mark Maske ranks the 32 teams. This week, the Packers move into the top five while the Ravens drop just behind them following their narrow loss at Kansas City. Brand-new starting quarterbacks went 3-3 in Sunday’s games. Teddy Bridgewater’s Saints, Kyle Allen’s Panthers and Daniel Jones’s Giants move up with their victories. Mason Rudolph’s Steelers drop with their defeat, while Luke Falk’s Jets and Josh Rosen’s Dolphins have nowhere lower to go.

1. New England Patriots (30) | Last Week’s Rank: 1 No Antonio Brown in the lineup? No problem, at least not Sunday. But the WR depth becomes an issue again, particularly in the short term with Julian Edelman’s injury.

What the defense is doing is amazing. It has not allowed a touchdown by an opposing offense this season, and it limited the Jets to 105 yards of total offense.

2. Kansas City Chiefs (3-0) | Last Week’s Rank: 2 Patrick Mahomes is so good that a 27-for-37, 374-yard, three-TD, no-interception passing day seems, ho hum, rather routine for him by now. Mahomes and the Kansas City offense roll on even with Tyreek Hill out of the lineup.

3. Los Angeles Rams (3-0) | Last Week’s Rank: 3 The offense wasn’t all that crisp Sunday night in Cleveland, and QB Jared Goff had three turnovers. But Coach Sean McVay made the proper halftime adjustments and the Rams showed they’re a wellestablished contender that simply knows how to win.

4. Dallas Cowboys (3-0) | Last Week’s Rank: 4 The Cowboys played down to the Dolphins’ level for a while but woke up in plenty of time to post an appropriately lopsided triumph.

5. Green Bay Packers (3-0) | Last Week’s Rank: 6 It’s time to include the Packers in the conversation, with the Rams and Cowboys, about which team is the NFC’s best. This is a sound and balanced Green Bay team, and QB Aaron Rodgers doesn’t have to do it all.

6. Baltimore Ravens (2-1) | Last Week’s Rank: 5 Put aside the talk about Coach John Harbaugh’s twopoint conversions based on his version of analytics. The real bottom line of Sunday’s loss at Kansas City was that the Ravens went on the road and played on relatively even terms with an AFC heavyweight.

7. Chicago Bears (2-1) | Last Week’s Rank: 8

Khalil Mack was virtually unblockable and the defense was dominant Monday night at FedEx Field, at least until seeming to lose its edge temporarily while the Redskins made things mildly interesting. But such defensive prowess is to be expected.

The pleasant surprise was the progress made by QB Mitchell Trubisky, notwithstanding his one very bad interception, and the offense.

8. Houston Texans (2-1) | Last Week’s Rank: 9 The narrow triumph over the Chargers has the Texans back in good early-season shape, with consecutive victories and home games against the Panthers and Falcons coming up.

9. Buffalo Bills (3-0) | Last Week’s Rank: 10 The Patriots come to town this weekend. That will either provide a sobering reality check for the Bills and their fans or the ultimate boost to their confidence in a rebuilding program that is on fastforward.

10. San Francisco 49ers (30) | Last Week’s Rank: 11 The Niners overcame their five turnovers to beat the Steelers. That’s not easy to do. It’s not quite time to declare this team a legitimate contender, but things are beginning to get interesting.

11. Indianapolis Colts (2-1) | Last Week’s Rank: 14 Jacoby Brissett was terrific against the Falcons. No one is exactly forgetting Andrew Luck at this point. But if Brissett can continue to play like this, the sting of Luck’s abrupt retirement at least will begin to fade a bit for the Colts.

12. Detroit Lions (2-0-1) | Last Week’s Rank: 16 The victory in Philadelphia, even with the Eagles in their depleted state, suggests that the Lions’ improved early-season play perhaps is to be taken seriously. They really should be 3-0, given the squandered lead during the season-opening tie with the Cardinals.

13. New Orleans Saints (21) | Last Week’s Rank: 18 Teddy Bridgewater’s performance and the victory over the Seahawks reinforce the notion that the Saints just might be able to hold things together until Drew Brees returns from thumb surgery.

If that happens, the time off actually might benefit Brees and the Saints by season’s end.

14. Minnesota Vikings (2-1) | Last Week’s Rank: 19 Again, less was more from Kirk Cousins. He had a modest 21 passing attempts and didn’t even throw for 200 yards. But he avoided the major mistakes and the Vikings rode the running of Dalvin Cook to the win over the

Raiders.

15. Seattle Seahawks (2-1) | Last Week’s Rank: 7 The Seahawks’ big fourth quarter against the Saints couldn’t quite make up for their sluggishness over the first three quarters. No one should overreact to one loss.

But losing at home could be costly to the Seahawks as they try to keep pace with the Rams and Niners in the NFC West.

16. Atlanta Falcons (1-2) | Last Week’s Rank: 12 The Falcons just can’t seem to sustain any positive momentum. They’re 0-2 on the road and, with the loss in Indianapolis, failed to build on a good win over the Eagles the previous week.

17. Cleveland Browns (1-2) | Last Week’s Rank: 13 It simply isn’t working for Coach Freddie Kitchens and the Browns. That fourthand-nine draw play during Sunday night’s defeat to the Rams was about as ill-conceived as it gets. The failure to challenge a pass interference non-call that probably would have gone in the Browns’ favor wasn’t good either.

They’re in the middle of a rugged stretch of their schedule and face a tough task Sunday in Baltimore to keep their season from unraveling further.

18. Philadelphia Eagles (12) | Last Week’s Rank: 15 The injuries have handcuffed the offense but no one particularly wants to hear about it. That’s just part of the deal in the NFL. The Eagles must regroup quickly, with a Thursday night meeting with the Packers looming and the Cowboys threatening to run away with the NFC East race.

19. Los Angeles Chargers (1-2) | Last Week’s Rank: 17 It might be time for the Chargers to do something about getting holdout RB Melvin Gordon back into the fold.

20. Carolina Panthers (1-2) | Last Week’s Rank: 24 Is there a QB issue brewing here? It’s too soon for any of that. But Kyle Allen played well in the win over the

Cardinals and the Panthers were quick to say Monday that Cam Newton won’t be ready to come back this week from his foot injury.

21. New York Giants (1-2) | Last Week’s Rank: 26 The euphoria over Daniel Jones’s performance in his first NFL start after last week’s QB switch was tempered by the high ankle sprain that could keep RB Saquon Barkley sidelined for as long as eight weeks, according to estimates. But take the big-picture view here: The Giants appear to have a new franchise QB in place to go with their dynamic runner, whenever he returns.

22. Jacksonville Jaguars (12) | Last Week’s Rank: 29 If Tom Brady really turned off the Jaguars-Titans game Thursday night, he missed the return of the “Sacksonville” defense. The nine sacks of Marcus Mariota were impressive. And, suddenly, the Jaguars don’t seem to be in such a rush to honor CB Jalen Ramsey’s trade request. If the defense can maintain anything close to Thursday’s

level and rookie QB Gardner Minshew II can continue to do his part, the Jaguars could be an interesting team again.

23. Tennessee Titans (1-2) | Last Week’s Rank: 20 No, it’s not time for Marcus Mariota to be benched in favor of Ryan Tannehill. But it at least becomes a consideration relatively soon, if things continue like this.

24. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-2) | Last Week’s Rank: 21 Coach Bruce Arians and rookie kicker Matt Gay were kind enough not to trample all over the story line of the legend of Daniel Jones being born Sunday in Tampa. But, seriously, Arians thought that a kicker who had missed two extra points would benefit from an intentional delay-ofgame penalty and a kick basically the same length as an extra point?

25. Oakland Raiders (1-2) | Last Week’s Rank: 22 The good feelings from the opening victory over the Broncos have faded with the losses to the Chiefs and Vikings. It doesn’t get easier with a road game Sunday at Indianapolis.

26. Pittsburgh Steelers (03) | Last Week’s Rank: 23 Mason Rudolph was decent against the 49ers. But the Steelers are probably going to have to trust him to be more aggressive in the passing game if they’re going to have any chance to turn this thing around.

27. Denver Broncos (0-3) | Last Week’s Rank: 27 How can a team with Vic Fangio as its coach and Von Miller and Bradley Chubb in its lineup have zero sacks and zero takeaways through three games? It’s inconceivable.

This has gone really wrong, really fast.

28. Arizona Cardinals (0-21) | Last Week’s Rank: 28 Kyler Murray endured rookie growing pains with his two-interception, eight-sack outing against the Panthers.

No one said it was going to be easy.

29. Washington Redskins (0-3) | Last Week’s Rank: 25 The Redskins are 0-3 while former assistants Sean McVay, Matt LaFleur and Kyle Shanahan are a combined 9-0 as head coaches elsewhere.

This has gotten ugly, and Coach Jay Gruden and QB Case Keenum will be under the greatest scrutiny. A move to rookie QB Dwayne Haskins must be considered. If it’s made, it would be Haskins vs.

Daniel Jones this weekend in the Meadowlands.

30. Cincinnati Bengals (03) | Last Week’s Rank: 30 Zac Taylor’s 0-3 start doesn’t mean he can’t coach.

But it does reinforce that everyone should have appreciated what Marvin Lewis accomplished in Cincinnati for all of those years that he got the Bengals into the playoffs, even if he couldn’t manage a postseason victory.

31. New York Jets (0-3) | Last Week’s Rank: 31 Luke Falk wasn’t the answer Sunday, not even close, just as Trevor Siemian hadn’t been the answer during his abbreviated turn as the fillin starting QB. Sam Darnold can’t come back soon enough. By the time he does, it might be too late to salvage anything from an already lost season.

32. Miami Dolphins (0-3) | Last Week’s Rank: 32 The Dolphins might have to begin tanking for the 2021 NFL draft as well. One draft class is not going to fix this.

Could David Ross be the Cubs manager next season?

Paul Sullivan Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — As Joe Maddon tried to keep the Cubs’ sinking ship afloat during the final homestand, a familiar presence was hovering at Wrigley Field.

David Ross, the former Cubs catcher who is now a special assistant to the team’s baseball operations department, was at the park watching the collapse in progress.

It was the talk of the ballpark, whispered by ushers and security guards whenever Ross made a visit to Theo Epstein’s suite.

“Is Ross replacing Joe?” It’s not unusual for Ross to confer with Epstein, but a report in USA Today became fodder for discussion on WSCR-AM 670, the team’s flagship station, fueling speculation.

General manager Jed Hoyer declined to comment when asked by host Dan Bernstein on Thursday about the report from USA Today’s Bob Nightengale that it would be a big surprise if Ross was not the next Cubs manager. Throwing your manager under the bus before the biggest series of the season would’ve been unseemly.

Ross was at the ballpark later that afternoon doing a charity appearance on the field before the game. As I was sitting in the Cubs dugout, Ross said hello. I asked if he had a second to talk, but he politely declined, probably knowing where the questioning was headed.

This is an awkward time for Ross, who has been mentioned as a possible candidate to replace Maddon since Epstein announced last November that contract extension talks would be tabled until after the 2019 season. Even if he was interested, Ross likely wouldn’t want to step on his former manager — especially with the Cubs starting a crucial series with the Cardinals.

But with the Cubs having faded now from the playoff picture after six straight mind-numbing losses, speculation on Maddon’s future will heat up as they play out the string in Pittsburgh and St. Louis. And given his tight relationship with Epstein, the man known as “Grandpa” would seem the likeliest choice if the Cubs do part ways with Maddon.

Epstein wrote the foreword of Ross’s autobiography, “Teammate,” relating how he signed the veteran catcher for the Red Sox in the summer of 2008 after the Reds released Ross. Epstein wrote Ross had a reputation as a “pain in the ass” in Cincinnati, but he was impressed by what a good teammate Ross was with the Red Sox. When the 2008 playoffs began, Epstein invited Ross into the advance scouting meetings and later told Hoyer to keep an eye on him because “he might make

Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon with former catcher David Ross before game four of the 2017 NLCS playoff baseball series against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Wrigley Field.

a good scout or coach when he’s done playing.”

The Cubs signed Ross to a two-year deal as a backup after 2014, presumably to catch his friend Jon Lester, the newly signed free agent. Ross quickly became a mentor to the young Cubs players in 2015, who nicknamed him Grandpa, and a favorite of the media who was always available for a sound bite or a story.

By the time Ross’s career ended, he was a beloved figure in Chicago. Eddie Vedder dedicated the seventh-inning stretch to Ross during Game 5 of the 2016 World Series at Wrigley Field. In his swan song, Ross homered in Game 7 of the World Series and was carried off the field by Jason Heyward and Anthony Rizzo.

A backup catcher had become a Chicago legend, sealed by the 2016 title.

It was during that World Series that Ross was asked about managing along with Maddon during games.

“You’re always managing in your mind,” Ross said after Game 6, as chronicled in “The Weight Lifted,” the Tribune’s series and book on the 2016 season.

“I keep a lot of it to myself, what I would do and wouldn’t do. I used to talk about it a lot more. I

keep it to myself a lot more.”

Like almost everyone else in the known universe, Ross was surprised Maddon sent closer Aroldis Chapman back out in the ninth inning of Game 6 with a six-run lead.

“Oh, yeah, but he’s been doing it a lot longer than I have,” Ross said of Maddon. “He didn’t come down here and say, ‘Hey, Rossie, what do you think I should do?’ I definitely didn’t see that coming, but I was glad it worked out the way it did.”

One night later, a tired Chapman served up the tying home run to the Indians’ Rajai Davis in the eighth inning of Game 7, but the Cubs managed to come back and win, ending the most talkedabout championship drought in sports history.

Maddon was criticized for his overuse of Chapman and the decision to remove Kyle Hendricks in Game 7, but because he was the only manager to take the Cubs to the promised land in more than a century, most figured he had a job in Chicago for life.

But it became clear last November that Epstein was not completely sold on Maddon past 2019, which has led to endless speculation ever since. What sometimes is lost in the discussion is

Epstein’s threat of a “reckoning,” or a rebooting of the roster, if the Cubs underachieved. Perhaps a 65-year-old manager would not be the right fit for a transitional period, no matter what he has done in the past.

Whether Ross, 42, was still “managing in his mind” while sitting with Epstein during the final homestand is something only he knows. But there’s no question he is familiar with the Cubs roster, which still includes several of his friends such as Lester, Heyward, Rizzo and Kris Bryant.

Ross also was the one Epstein sent to scout Craig Kimbrel when the team was considering signing the free-agent closer in June. Ross gave a thumbs up on Kimbrel, who will be remembered as the designated goat of the Cubs’ collapse after serving up the game-winning home run to Matt Carpenter in Thursday’s loss before what Maddon called the “shots to the jaw” by Yadier Molina and Paul DeJong on back-to-back pitches to start the ninth in Saturday’s crushing loss.

As Cubs manager, would Ross have turned to Kimbrel on Saturday? Most likely. As Ross said after Game 6 about Maddon bringing in a tired Chapman: “You bring guys in in big situations. Is he the closer (or) is he not?”

Epstein wrote in “Teammate” that Ross’s impact on the Cubs was often unseen as he made sure they played the Cub Way: “Reminding the young players how good they are. Reminding them they can get better. Words to keep the team grounded when winning seemed easy. Words to lift up the team when losing just one more would end the season.”

Ross may be a popular choice if the Cubs part ways with Maddon. But as Keith Magnuson, John Paxson, Robin Ventura and other revered Chicago athletes have discovered, going into coaching or management of the team you once played for doesn’t mean Chicago fans will unconditionally support you through thick and thin.

If the Cubs folded under Ross like they have this year under Maddon, would he still be the beloved “Grandpa” to all Cubs fans?

All the speculation could be moot. Ross has a cushy job at ESPN and a nice side gig advising Epstein and Hoyer. Perhaps he’s not interested in returning to the grind of a baseball season or facing the daily media scrutiny.

Or maybe Epstein has someone else in mind — or even decides Maddon deserves to stay a couple more years while the championship window remains open?

But as a Cubs season that began with so much hope nears its end, there’s one question Epstein may be asking himself: What would Grandpa do?

Ankle injury could cost Giants’ Saquon Barkley two months of season Tom Rock Newsday

The most uplifting day in the past several years for the Giants came with a downer of a cost.

Saquon Barkley, the centerpiece of their offense, will miss the next month – possibly two – with what the team called a high ankle sprain suffered in Sunday’s 32-31 win over the Bucs.

Barkley incurred the injury late in the first half of the game in Tampa and on Monday an MRI showed the extent of the injury.

While Pat Shurmur did not provide any timeline for Barkley’s return, such injuries typically take four to eight weeks to heal. Given how much Barkley means to the future of the franchise, it’s likely the Giants will lean toward a cautious approach in the rehab and recovery rather than rush him back quickly.

The Giants faced a somewhat similar situation two years ago when Odell Beckham Jr. – then the main conduit for the offense – suffered a high ankle sprain in the preseason. He came back ahead of schedule only to suffer a more serious season-ending injury on the same weakened ankle after three-plus games.

Barkley undoubtedly will want a speedy return.

“I hate watching my teammates play without me,” he said on Sunday after he spent the second half on the sideline in a walking boot and on crutches.

“I’m going to try to return as quickly as possible.”

KIM KLEMENT/USA TODAY

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (26) stands on the sideline with crutches during the second half against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium.

From the Giants’ thinking, though, having him back at full strength – for whatever remains of this season and future seasons as well — is much more important than simply having him back.

If Barkley is sidelined eight weeks he would miss the next seven games; the Giants have a bye in Week 11. That would put him in line for a return on

Nov. 24 against the Bears.

By then, the Giants either will be contending for a playoff spot and get a boost from Barkley’s return, or they will have already faded in the standings and be playing out the schedule with an eye toward next season.

The news put a damper on a day of celebration as the Giants earned their first win of the season and did so with

rookie Daniel Jones having a recordsetting day at quarterback. Barkley, the established star despite being in just his second season, was supposed to help Jones’ development by carrying the bulk of the workload and attention from opposing defenses. Now Jones will go forward without Barkley as his wingman.

Replacing the production and

potential of a Pro Bowler such as Barkley is impossible, but the Giants will have to make a roster move just to have enough bodies at running back. They had just one healthy full-timer at that position on their 53-man roster as of Monday in Wayne Gallman. Eli Penny was a tailback in college but is primarily a fullback now. Rookie Jon Hilliman is on the practice squad.

“We certainly believe in Wayne Gallman and we certainly believe he’ll be able to step in and do his very best,” Shurmur said on Monday. “It’s very unfortunate to have Saquon out of the lineup. We all know what he brings to the team. But it’s going to fall on all of us to move forward and do what we can to win games.”

The Giants have other roster moves to juggle as well. Inside linebackers Alec Ogletree (hamstring) and Tae Davis (concussion) were injured on Sunday and will miss some time, so the Giants are short at that position. They also get wide receiver Golden Tate back from his four-game suspension after Sunday’s game against Washington. His addition to the active roster will require another move.

None of those maneuvers will make up for not having the best player on the team – and perhaps the best running back in the league – on the field with them for the foreseeable future.

That future is still burning brighter than ever thanks to Jones, even if it has been dimmed by Barkley’s injury.

Mets theoretically could be eliminated from the postseason race Tuesday, if they lose and the Nationals and the Milwaukee Brewers, currently the second NL wild card team, both win.

But for many of the fans who sat silently through much of the game at Citi Field, the outcome was merely a formality.

The players also recognized the grim odds facing them, and knew that even sweeping the homestand would not have guaranteed a playoff berth.

“If we do win all these games, we’re going to come down to one or two games missing the playoffs at the end,” said Michael Conforto, the Mets’ 26-year-old outfielder. “So, that’s where those losses in the middle of the year — June, July, August — are huge at the end of the year.”

More than once the 2019 Mets were left for dead, only to crawl back into contention

behind some of the promising assets — like Pete Alonso’s bat and Jacob deGrom’s pitching arm — that provided hints of hope, not only for the rest of this season but for years to come.

A win in Cincinnati on Sunday gave the Mets 81 victories, ensuring they would not finish with a losing record. That alone was unthinkable in July, when they were 10 games under .500. But their failures in the first half meant that their successes in the second half were ultimately hollow.

“I feel like it was a success in coming back from 13 1/2 out,” said third baseman Todd Frazier. “That was a success, but it showed how far we were back. Honestly, I wouldn’t consider the season a success as a whole because we’re not making the playoffs.”

There was a time, a decade and a half ago, when Fred Wilpon, the Mets’ owner, publicly yearned for “meaningful

games in September” such as these. But there was a different context for those Mets. This version was supposed to contend — at least, according to the brash predictions of their new general manager, Brodie Van Wagenen. In January, Van Wagenen publicly told the other teams in the NL East to “come get us.” Most of them obliged.

Still, after what happened in the first half of the season, the Mets’ maintaining playoff hopes — technically — in the final week could be seen as a modest step up, after two straight seasons of abject failure. In 2017 and 2018, the Mets never crept to within 10 games of first place in the NL East for a single day in the second half of the season.

This year’s Mets played well in the second half; they have a 41-25 record since the AllStar Game. That could augur well for the future, but there is no guarantee: In 2018, they

were eight games over .500 in the second half of the season, but it did not carry over to this spring.

Three devastating stretches of games particularly doomed the 2019 Mets. They went 1018 in June and 3-10 leading up to the All-Star Game, leaving themselves 13 1/2 games out of first place. Sure, they won 15 of 16 in July and August to draw to within two games of a wild card position, but they never got closer than that.

The consecutive sweeps at home at the hands of the Atlanta Braves and the Chicago Cubs in late August will serve as the point of demarcation for the Mets. But there were other moments of damaging futility peppered throughout the year, like when they followed a sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks by losing three out of four against the Dodgers and the Rockies this month. And of course, there was the painful 11-10 loss to

the Nationals on Sept. 3, when the bullpen gave up seven runs in the ninth.

“It’s a 162-game season,” Conforto said. “You lose a game and you could look at it as, ‘We’ll go get them tomorrow.’ But you really can’t do that. The length of the season can sometimes trick guys into thinking, it’s OK we lost that game. Really, it’s not.”

But does crawling back from deep holes to remain technically alive in late September qualify as a success? For many in the clubhouse, it does not, unless a miracle happens.

“We know that we didn’t play well enough to put ourselves in the right position to make the playoffs,” Conforto said. “I think it’s really good a lot of our young guys are going through this now. We still have a shot, but they’ll have this experience to pull from in the years to come.”

Giants

year — in terms of making correct reads/throws ... & IT WAS HIS 1ST START!” And there was more to like from Gettleman’s 2019 draft class. Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, the 17th overall choice out of Clemson, got his first NFL sack, applied consistent pressure from the middle of the defense and blocked an extra point, a point that turned out to be a huge difference in the outcome.

Cornerback DeAndre Baker, the third of the Giants’ firstround picks this year, was much more reliable in coverage after looking lost the week before

against the Bills. This time, it was veteran Janoris Jenkins who was routinely torched by the Buccaneers, especially Mike Evans, who had three first-half touchdowns.

Third-round pass rusher Oshane Ximines got his first full sack of the season and also applied good pressure when called upon.

Fifth-round rookie linebacker Ryan Connelly played nearly every snap and wound up taking the calls from defensive coordinator James Bettcher after Alec Ogletree went out with a hamstring injury. Connelly is a smart player and a sure tackler

and has quickly adapted to Bettcher’s system.

And fifth-round receiver Darius Slayton played his first game after recovering from a hamstring injury. Slayton had three catches, including a 46-yarder in the third quarter that helped set up a touchdown that brought the Giants to within one score, 28-25.

There’s still a long way to go, with no guarantees. But for one very meaningful Sunday, there was hope.

For the Giants.

And for Gettleman.

Transgender woman strives to preserve marriage Dear Abby, I am a transgender female who is working on my marriage to my wife of 41 years. I started my transition in 2011.

We have had our ups and downs during the course of our marriage. We have two DEAR ABBY sons and eight beautiful grandchildren. All of them know about my transition to womanhood, and my family also knows. What I need now is some advice to help our marriage. We are strongly committed to working on it.

Real Me In Ohio

JEANNE PHILLIPS

Many couples choose to stay together and keep their marriage intact when one partner transitions. You and your wife can find help — and support — at the nearest LGBT center that offers couples counseling. If there isn’t one in your community, check the nearest large city to where you live.

You and your wife should also reach out to the Straight Spouse Network, which has been mentioned in my column before. This group was started in 1986 by Amity Pierce Buxton, Ph.D., and its mission is to build bridges of understanding for couples of mixed sexual orientation or gender variance. The contact information is straightspouse.org.

Dear Abby, I have two adult children who are divorced and both live out of state. My son has no children, and my daughter has two who are now adults. I’m close to my son but have been estranged from my daughter and grandchildren for almost 20 years. (There is no possibility of a reconciliation.)

I have not explained the details about this situation to anyone. My close friends know I have no contact with them and, thankfully, to their credit, they haven’t asked. My co-workers, however, want to know about my family.

I have tried giving them generic information, such as “they live out of state,” but a few keep asking for more details, such as when are they coming to visit, what do they do, etc. Some are being friendly, but a couple of them are busybodies. What can I say to deter them and their questions without being rude?

Complicated In Virginia This situation is more common than many people realize, and the best way to stop nosy people from repeatedly asking questions would simply be to say, “We are estranged.” Period.

If someone is so insensitive as to question you about why, you are free to say you prefer not to discuss it — now or ever.

Is a foot box the answer to relieving nighttime foot cramps?

I am a very healthy 74-year-old male. I am not on any medications and enjoy normal blood pressure and great stats from my regular bloodwork. I weigh 140 pounds and have been exercising every day faithfully for decades.

A couple of years ago, I started getting cramps in both legs throughout the night.

TO YOUR My toes would curl down and GOOD HEALTH my entire leg would get stiff; the pain was horrible. I had a terrible time “walking it off,” and very often when I finally got it to pass, as soon as I got back in bed the whole thing would start all over again. Sometimes I would go a few nights without having a problem, but there was always the fear that I would have another episode.

I read online advice to get the weight of the sheet and covers off the feet. I took a strong cardboard box and sleep with my feet in the open end of the box. The first time I got in bed with this rigged up, it felt very strange not having anything on my bare feet, but eventually I got used to it. The remarkable news is that I have not had a single episode since fabricating the box over six months ago.

DR. KEITH ROACH

I appreciate your writing in. I have had many patients use a box during sleep for acute gout, where even a sheet on top of the affected toe can be exquisitely painful, but I had not heard this used for nocturnal leg cramps. Some patients have noticed that the symptoms do seem to be started or exacerbated by the weight of blankets.

Before resorting to that, I recommend regular exercise, even a few minutes of riding a stationary bicycle before bed can help. Couple that with regular stretching of the calf and

hamstring muscles and adequate hydration.

Although many people ask about it, I do not recommend quinine for most people, and it’s quite rare for the cause to be disturbances of sodium, potassium, calcium or other electrolytes. B complex vitamins and magnesium are helpful in some people, but I restrict iron to people with proven iron deficiency.

If all else fails, prescription medications such as verapamil may be helpful.

Ever since my husband and I had the flu in February, my taste buds are not working. My husband’s have gotten better with time, but mine seem to be worsening. I asked my doctor, and he said it was just old age. I think not. Any suggestions?

Severe upper respiratory infections such as influenza (“the flu”) can be complicated by damage to the nerve receptors in the nose. I do realize you said your taste buds. Much of our ability to perceive taste derives from our far more sensitive sense of smell.

Up to 31% of people can be affected, and a smaller percentage may have long-lasting effects. While it is true older adults may gradually lose their ability to taste and smell as acutely as before, the sudden onset around the time of a viral infection makes me suspect this is the most likely cause. Fortunately, 80% of people who developed loss of sense of smell with a viral infection will recover by 12 months.

You didn’t mention any medications, but they are another common cause of taste and smell problems.

An ENT physician is most likely to have expertise in this area.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You can be a little less “controlled” than you’ve been lately. Give someone a surprise during evening hours, and you’ll both be rewarded.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You may be able to enjoy a rather quiet day. This doesn’t mean, however, that you can let your responsibilities slide; much planning can be done.

By Stella Wilder Born today, you are keenly interested in all that makes life better — and that’s not an altogether subjective assessment or categorization on your part, but rather a view of things that accepts a universal “good” that is worth pursuing.

You believe in absolutes, and while others may try to convince you that nothing is as simple as black and white, you have experienced nothing in life to suggest that things are any more complicated than that — and you live your life to prove it. This is not to suggest that you will never encounter complications in your lifetime.

The talents you develop are sure to lead to great success in your lifetime — provided, of course, that you do not allow yourself to be distracted by peripheral opportunities or seduced by options that are too good to be true.

Also born on this date are: Will Smith, actor; Mark Hamill, actor; Christopher Reeve, actor; Catherine Zeta-Jones, actress; Barbara Walters, TV journalist; Shel Silverstein, writer and cartoonist; Dmitri Shostakovich, composer.

opinions you get from others, the better. You will want to set aside some time to go over all the various input you receive.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Your own vanity may be the one thing to get in your way today. If you can avoid looking at yourself in the mirror, all will be well!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You may be more than confident today — and that can be a problem. Cockiness right now can only get you into hot water.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You mustn’t let yourself be fooled by appearances. To get to the bottom of a key issue you’re going to have to be more than observant.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You seem to be putting in a lot of effort at this time, but the results aren’t what you were expecting. A friend gives you some perspective.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Even a single mistake may be one too many today. Be careful, use your time wisely and don’t assume that you know all you need to know.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You can avoid serious dangers today, even while you do that which others have pronounced risky. Your unique approach does the trick.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You’ll want to gather your forces and ensure that everyone is working toward the same goal right now. You can’t afford a single wasted effort.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You can be sure that others will be watching you. The more you try to stay out of the public eye, the more you’ll be on display; don’t fight it!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — How you present a certain central idea makes all the difference today.
