ATHENS — The village board of trustees will hold a hold a public hearing later this month on a law that will allow consumers to have a greater say over their electricity costs. By adopting the law, Athens would join the ranks of Cairo, New Baltimore and the village of Coxsackie in a Community Choice Aggregation program. The other three municipalities forged an agreement with New Jersey-based Good Energy back in July. During the 17-month agreement, Good Energy lobbies on behalf of the communities for

better rates. “The program reduces everyone’s bill while also choosing more sustainable types of energy and using less fossil fuels,” Trustee Joshua Lipsman said. “It’s a win-win but in neighboring communities there were lots of early questions and we want to get out ahead of those questions here with this public hearing.” Athens may also use Good Energy but is considering other aggregators as well, Mayor Stephan Bradicich said. The village interviewed Joule Community Power as well, Lipsman said. See STRATEGY A2

n THE SCENE

By Amanda Purcell Columbia-Greene Media

HUDSON — U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, D-19, visited Hudson on Wednesday to discuss one of the most talked-about topics in the city these days as rents and home prices continue to rise: a lack of affordable housing. The freshman Democratic congressman from Rhinebeck spoke to a crowd of more than 70

gathered at Bliss Towers, 41 N. Second St., and then listened to them as they talked about the roadblocks to affordable housing. At times, the conversation veered to other topics, such as transportation issues and this year’s reassessments. Delgado started the evening off with some sobering statistics: Half of all households are

sharing 1.3 percent of all the wealth in the country and two-thirds of people are living paycheck to paycheck. The federal government has not been focusing on those people that fall within the “gap,” Delgado said, or, those people who do not make enough to afford their own home but make too much to qualify See DEFICIT A2

Bring an appetite and keep on truckin’ By Sarah Trafton Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — Anybody who loves to eat, from the Catskill community and beyond, will have a smorgasbord of options at the second annual Catskill Food Festival on Saturday. The event will take place from noon to 6 p.m. on Main Street in the village. In addition to a variety of food vendors, entertainment will be provided by Guilty Pleasure. Treats will range beyond the typical fare, Jeanette O’Callaghan, a sales representative with Columbia-Greene Media said Thursday. Columbia-Greene Media is hosting the event. The Pines at Catskill Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation

is the premier sponsor. “Besides the food trucks, we have people who make honey, maple syrup, pickles and homemade dog treats,” she said. “Even your dog can come and have fun at the festival.” Columbia-Greene Media wanted to return the festival to Catskill in 2019 because of last year’s success and because of the huge support the event received, O’Callaghan said. “Aside from the public support, we received excellent support from the village board,” she said. “They were really accommodating.” Catskill Village President Vincent Seeley was impressed with See TRUCKIN’ A2

zoning change would encourage commercial development by keeping existing Second Street storefronts while at the same time allowing the upstairs to be residential. We would like to hear what village residents think and are holding the hearing for that purpose.” The proposed law will help stimulate business in the area, Bradicich said. “About 25 storefronts are in the zone we are looking at,” he said. “Seventeen of those are unused or underutilized. We are seeing more development come in, more people are interested in property on Second Street. As property changes hands, we want to preserve commercial property on the ground floor.” Under this law, if a property owner wishes to use a ground floor property on Second Street for something other than commercial use, they would have to seek a use variance from the zoning board, Bradicich said. Copies of both laws are available at the Athens Community Center and online at www.visithistoricathens.com.

not eligible are people who are already under contract with an energy company now,” Evans said. There is no deadline for residents to opt out, Evans said. “They can get right out of it immediately,” he said. If a resident was previously ineligible, the resident can join at anytime, Evans said. By joining the Community Choice Aggregation program, Athens is one step closer to achieving a designation as a Climate Smart Community. “We are still very early in that process,” Lipsman said. The village plans to submit relevant activities that will earn points in the program within the next 60 days, Lipsman said. “We are always looking for ways to reduce the use of energy that is not necessary to expend and replace it with more sustainable energy sources,” Lipsman said, Another hearing will be held Sept. 25 on a law that will maintain the commercial use zoning of storefronts on Second Street. “Second Street is the economic heart of the village,” Bradicich said. “The proposed

“We wanted to start communicating very early,” he said. “We have not selected a provider yet.” The statewide program gives more power to the people, Coxsackie Mayor Mark Evans said in July. Good Energy, headquartered in Allendale, New Jersey, was able to get a rate of 5 cents per kilowatt hour from Constellation, compared to Central Hudson’s typical rate of 6.5 cents per kilowatt hour, Evans said. “It’s savings of $150 per year for the average homeowner,” he said. “It’s just a program we thought was good to get into to save on electric bills.” In New Baltimore, the total cost savings for residents is estimated at $58,000 annually, Town Supervisor Jeff Ruso said. “We thought it was a good way to help the residents and the town save money,” Ruso said. In Cairo, residents are expected to save 10% to 12% on

the supply side of their electric bills, Town Supervisor Daniel Benoit said. “They don’t have to do anything to obtain it,” he said. “People are not even going to know it’s happening except their bill will drop.” The cost-savings will be beneficial for the local economy, Lipsman said. “With a few more dollars in their pockets, people will spend more money locally,” he said. Residents who do not wish to be included in the program must opt out by either filling out a form that was mailed to them, going online or calling the village clerk, Evans said. Athens will employ a similar process, Bradicich said. The village will use a variety of platforms to get the word out, Lipsman said. “We will have community meetings, post on social media and have a variety of ways for people to opt out,” he said. “They can send in a letter, make a phone call or go online.” A percentage of residents will not be able to participate, Evans said. “The only residents who are

for low-income housing. “We haven’t done any real investment in housing in this country in 30-plus years,” Delgado said. “We haven’t done any meaningful, robust and national program to the cost of housing, despite the fact we are in the middle of a housing crisis.” Delgado urged the audience to marshal the same amount of support used in the climate change movement to tackle affordable housing. “We’re talking about upward mobility,” Delgado said. “If you don’t have a home, there is no way to elevate yourself. There is no way to improve not just your condition, but your children’s.” The point of the evening was to hear from constituents about their personal experiences. It’s imperative the federal government expand the time frame to apply for federal tax credits for investors and contractors engaging in affordable housing projects, Hudson resident Bill Hughes told the congressman. Delgado agreed. Delgado announced his intentions on making it a priority to better regulate how businesses invest in the community so that local residents are not pushed out. He also announced he wants to tackle tenants’ rights on the federal level. In terms of public housing, U.S. Department of Housing

and Urban Development funding has not increased, but it has been going down, Delgado said in response to a question from 2nd Ward Alderman Tiffany Garriga about the state of public housing. “As the need is increasing, the funding to enable to address the need is declining,” Delgado said. Delgado took the opportunity to reiterate his opposition to a provision of the Republican tax reform package that capped the State and Local Tax, or SALT, deduction. He wants to see the

reform reversed to put more money back in pockets of taxpayers, he said. Those funds could help offset tax increases at the local level. “We have written a letter to the president and I’ve introduced legislation to rollback that cap,” Delgado said. But he faces an uphill battle in the Republican-controlled Senate, which advocated for the tax reform package. Delgado’s visit was co-hosted by 1st Ward Alderman Kamal Johnson and 3rd Ward Supervisor Michael Chameides.

New York state encourages residents to strengthen emergency planning efforts ALBANY — The New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services encouraged New Yorkers to use September, which has been designated as National Preparedness Month, as an opportunity to strengthen their own household’s preparedness to withstand disasters, whether they be natural or manmade. Disaster preparedness requires an all-hands-on-deck approach by both first responders and average citizens and in New York, the public has an opportunity to gain all the training and resources they need through the Division’s Citizen’s Preparedness Corps training program. More than 300,000 New Yorkers have already completed this training, and in recognition of National Preparedness Month, these trainings will begin to be made available to all state employees through ‘Lunch and Learn’- style trainings during normal business hours. “The key to surviving an emergency, whether it be an active shooter or a hurricane, isn’t simply knowing what to do when a situation arises, it’s also about making the right preparations ahead of time,” said New York state’s

Commissioner of Homeland Security and Emergency Services Patrick A. Murphy. “With National Preparedness Month taking place during September, there is no better time for New Yorkers to sign up for a Citizen’s Preparedness Corps course and get the tools and resources they need to prepare their families for the next disaster which threatens the Empire State.” “The Soldiers and Airmen of our New York National Guard understand the value of being prepared for emergencies, since our motto is ‘Always Ready and Always There,’” said Major General Ray Shields, Adjutant General of New York. “We know that we must be ready to respond when called by the Governor. Since 2014, the members of the New York National Guard who conduct Citizens Preparedness Corps training with the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services have been privileged to help our fellow citizens prepare to cope with emergency situations and to be better prepared for the unexpected.” Established in 2014 under the leadership of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the

Citizen’s Preparedness Corps provides the tools and resources necessary for preparing New Yorkers for any type of disaster so they respond accordingly and recover as quickly as possible to pre-disaster conditions. It is important to note that individual preparedness should not be limited to the home. With workplaces being increasingly targeted by those seeking to do harm, preparedness in those settings is just as important. Since the program’s inception, the Division has regularly partnered with private organizations and businesses to hold trainings for their staff and in recognition of National Preparedness Month, these trainings will begin to be offered to state employees once a year through ‘Lunch and Learn’- style trainings during normal business hours. The Division will work with the leadership each State Agency, Division, Authority and Corporation to identify times and locations for each training in the coming weeks. During each Citizen’s Preparedness Corps course, New Yorkers are taught an all-hazards approach to preparedness, giving them skills which can be utilized in any

life-threatening situation, as opposed to developing individualized plans for each type of disaster or emergency. This includes information on how to develop family emergency plans and the importance of stocking up on emergency supplies. In recent years, the program has been further adapted to include training on the “See Something, Say Something” mantra, as well as an active shooter/active violence component which focuses on situational awareness and incorporates the “Run, Hide, Fight” concept for active shooter training. Participants are also encouraged to get more involved in existing community-based emergency activities, which may be organized through local schools, businesses or community-based organizations. If New Yorkers are interested in attending a public Citizen’s Preparedness Corps training, requesting a private training for their organization, or would like to take the online version, visit prepare.ny.gov. Check back often as new public courses are being added every day.

Protecting the democratic process is all-important for paperwork from the caucus was due at the Greene County Board of Elections. The county and state boards of elections are named in the petition as codefendants. State election law allows paperwork postmarked July 25 to be accepted if it is received within two business days. Greene County Democratic Chairwoman Carolyn Riggs said she made several attempts July 25 to contact Poelker to make sure the county board of elections received the paperwork by the end of business, but got no reply from Poelker. Bove and Shuster said they met with Poelker on July 25 and Poelker assured them the paperwork would be filed. Poelker mailed the paperwork on July 27 and it was received on July

30, five days after the deadline, Maldonado said. Poelker blames Shuster for turning in the paperwork too late. Shuster denies Poelker’s version of the events. It’s good for the Democrats that a judge agreed to hold a hearing on this matter. Fisher will have a lot of testimony to sort out before she reaches a decision. The biggest question she will have to answer is why Poelker, a skilled veteran political figure locally and statewide, would turn against two solid candidates from his own party. Protecting democracy, whether the party affiliation is Democratic or Republican, is of paramount importance. Every vote counts, even those cast at party caucuses.

OUR VIEW

When Democratic leaders from Greene County’s mountaintop region and the county at large have an opportunity to make their case Sept. 11 about the controversial Windham Town Democratic caucus, it should be an interesting day at the Greene County Courthouse. Windham attorney Kevin Maldonado filed a petition for a hearing on behalf of town supervisor candidate Nick Bove and town council candidate Natasha Shuster, who claim the caucus was undermined by Town Democratic Party Chairman Tom Poelker. State Supreme Court Judge Lisa M. Fisher agreed to hear the case. The petition alleges that Poelker held the caucus July 24, just a day before the deadline

Why the Founders would have supported Medicare-for-all

ing through metal detectors, attendees at outdoor food festivals can anticipate surveillance by police on motorcycles or horseback, patrolling security barriers on the perimeters of the grounds. It isn’t that the safety precautions aren’t welcome, but rather that they come at a cost. They’re the scars left by prior shootings and a tangible memento mori. Death stalks grocery-store aisles and elementary school corridors, and it’s possible to remember a time when it didn’t. But that time is ending. Each mass shooting forecloses the innocence of another place, another time, another activity. The majority of teenagers and their parents already worry about school shootings; as more settings become venues for mass violence, the fear will only spread, bringing its visible signals with it. Gun deaths belong in some sense to the lawmakers who are charged with the responsibility to care for the public but fail to meet their obligations, and so, too, does the darkening of American life, and all the liberty and happiness that terror cloaks in shadow.

As the Democratic primary campaign unfolds, health care remains the subject of heated discussion. While the conversation about universal access and government responsibility has followed partisan lines in the 21st century, the idea that government has, could and should shoulder responsibilities to ensure the health and well-being of its citizens is at the heart of our country’s founding. George and Martha Washington, John and Abigail Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and James and Dolly Madison lived in an age where modern medicine was just beginning to develop. Even though they were part of the colonial elite, none were immune to sickness, disease and rampant epidemics, and concerns about both public and personal health frequently shaped the trajectory of their daily lives. Despite their political differences, they all recognized early on that the economic, social and political health of the American nation clearly was connected to the physical health of its citizens, lessons leaders of both parties should remember today. Before the advent of modern antibiotics, one’s life could be abruptly shattered by contagion and death. Debility from infectious diseases was commonplace in every ethnic group and class. Surgery was especially risky in an era when there were essentially no reliable antiseptics or anesthetics. As one of the first historians of medicine Richard Shryock put it so succinctly over a halfcentury ago, “In reviewing the circumstances of health in early America one almost wonders that so many people survived and that the country grew and prospered.” The Founders’ personal encounters with illness and tragic loss of family members, including many of their children, made them acutely sensitive to issues surrounding medical treatment and disease. Smallpox and yellow fever epidemics provided the impetus for several early American health-care initiatives. As early as 1777, during the height of the Revolutionary War, John Adams recorded that the Continental Congress had passed legislation that expanded the Army’s Hospital Department. He lamented the fact that more soldiers died of smallpox than British bullets. The frugal New

Englander wrote his wife, Abigail, with approval that, “The expense will be great, but humanity overcame avarice.” Later, after Adams became the second president of the United States, he signed a bill in 1798 “to provide for the relief and maintenance of disabled seamen,” creating the U.S. Marine Hospital Service. It gave rise to a network of hospitals located at sea and river ports across the country, and over the next century it evolved into the national U.S. Public Health Service. The 1798 bill passed following a severe outbreak of yellow fever, as Adams and other politicians recognized that sailors often brought a variety of diseases with them to ports, including smallpox, yellow fever and malaria, and quarantine was sometimes necessary. In the beginning, the means to provide seamen with hospital care, including doctors, medicine and room and board, came from a combination of private and public funds. Sailors paid a 20-cent tax per month out of their wages as a share toward an early form of insurance for medical care. The government then directed the use of those funds and underwrote most of the real remaining costs. Through the Seaman’s Act, arguably for the first time in U.S. history, the federal government took an active role in providing temporary medical treatment of individuals who could not afford their own private care. Creating a safety net for thousands of mariners, it protected both individual citizens and commerce. The Founders understood that epidemics not only brought personal devastation to individuals, families and communities, but also brought economic havoc by disrupting trade when, for example, ships had to be quarantined at ports and were unable to unload cargo. While the Founders had just fought a long and bloody war against government tyranny, they also understood the important role government played in promoting the physical well-being of its citizens. Improving general health care and the state of medicine could have far-reaching positive economic and social consequences and was therefore beneficial for even poor and vulnerable Americans. They believed that in the American republic, government and individuals could work together productively to promote good health, and they took concrete steps to advance

that goal. This belief united the founding generation that was otherwise frequently divided over questions about the role of government in American life. For example, Franklin helped found the country’s first voluntary public hospital (financed through a combination of individual private contributions and government funds) and the first American medical school. Washington insisted on smallpox inoculation for all his Revolutionary War troops, as many of the young soldiers had never been exposed to the disease. Despite concerns about ineffectiveness and even the dangerous potential for contracting a severe case of smallpox, which could be fatal, Washington believed such a mandate could protect his troops and help ensure the success of the war effort. As president, Jefferson played a pivotal role in bringing smallpox in America under control though his vocal advocacy of the newer, safer Jenner method of vaccination. He wrote that, “I think it is important . . . to bring the practice of the [smallpox] inoculation to the level of common capacities, for to give to this discovery the whole of value, we should enable the great mass of the people to practice it on their own families & without an expense, which they cannot meet.” In 1813, Jefferson’s successor, Madison, signed into law a statue to encourage wider smallpox vaccination, one of America’s first public health bills. The aim of the Vaccine Act of 1813 was to ensure drug purity for the consumer by regulating the Jenner vaccine to protect Americans from unscrupulous suppliers who offered adulterated versions. From the beginning, America’s Founders recognized that government had compelling reasons to shoulder some new responsibilities with respect to ensuring the health and wellbeing of its citizenry while still protecting individual liberty, an outlook which contemporary Americans from across the political spectrum should appreciate as they search for common ground over a contentious issue that personally affects us all.

1 killed in train crash, a rarity in Japan Daniel Victor The New York Times News Service

A train collided with a truck Thursday in Yokohama, a city just south of Tokyo, causing the train to derail in an accident that killed at least one person and injured 34 others. It was a rare crash in a country that prides itself on its train performance, with one of the world’s best rail safety records. The cause of the crash was not immediately known. The 67-year-old driver of the truck was believed to have been killed, according to NHK, the national broadcaster, which cited fire department officials. Most of those injured had non-life-threatening injuries, NHK said. The collision occurred shortly before noon at a

crossing on the Keikyu Line near the Kanagawa-shimmachi station, where the train usually runs about 75 mph, according to NHK. One witness on the train’s first carriage told NHK he heard an alarm for about 20 seconds, warning him of a collision. “I flew 2 meters away from my seat,” the witness said. “Black smoke from the truck was approaching just nearby, and I thought I was going to die here.” Images of the wreckage in local news media showed dark smoke rising over a tangled mess of steel and wire, with several of the carriages tilted off the track. Dozens of boxes carrying fruit spilled out onto the tracks and a nearby road.

Former campaign staffer drops lawsuit accusing Trump of kissing her without consent Beth Reinhard The Washington Post

A staffer on Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign is dropping a lawsuit that accused him of kissing her without her consent at a small gathering of supporters before a Florida rally. A federal judge dismissed Alva Johnson’s lawsuit in June, calling it a “political statement,” but said she could file a revised complaint accusing Trump of simple battery. Johnson said in a statement Thursday that she will not pursue the case, saying the president has “unlimited resources and a judicial system that has so far refused to hold him accountable.” In the lawsuit, Johnson accused Trump of grabbing her hand and leaning in to kiss her on the lips as he exited an RV outside a campaign rally in Tampa on Aug. 24, 2016. Johnson said she turned her head and the kiss landed on the side of her mouth. She described feeling anguish and humiliation that led her to quit the campaign before the election. U.S. District Judge William Jung rejected Johnson’s argument that accusations of sexual misconduct from other women against Trump were relevant to her case. “Though this simple battery appears to have lasted perhaps 10-15 seconds, Plaintiff has spent 29 pages and 115 paragraphs in the Complaint

SALWAN GEORGES/THE WASHINGTON POST

Alva Johnson

setting it forth,” wrote Jung, who was appointed by Trump in 2017. “Many of these allegations describe 19 unrelated incidents involving women upon whom Donald Trump allegedly committed nonconsensual acts, over the past four decades with differing circumstances.” Charles Harder, an attorney for Trump, called Johnson’s decision to give up the case “a total victory for President Trump” and said it “fully vindicates him of Johnson’s false accusations.” In July, Harder submitted video of the kiss, taken by a campaign worker, that the attorney said showed

“an innocent interaction that is mutual.” Hassan Zavareei, a lawyer for Johnson, said the video “corroborates exactly what Alva said.” When the suit was filed in February, in federal court in Florida, then-White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said of Johnson’s allegation: “This never happened and is directly contradicted by multiple highly credible eye witness accounts.” In interviews with The Washington Post, two Trump supporters Johnson identified as witnesses - a campaign official and Pam Bondi, then the Florida attorney

general — denied seeing the alleged kiss. Harder said the president and the Trump campaign are demanding that Johnson pay legal fees and are considering a suit against her for breaching a nondisclosure agreement she signed when she joined the campaign. Trump still faces a defamation lawsuit from former “Apprentice” contestant Summer Zervos, who says Trump forcibly kissed and groped her during a December 2007 encounter at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles. Trump has denied the allegations.

Death toll rises to 23 in Bahamas, as stories of survival begin to emerge Rachel Knowles and Frances Robles The New York Times News Service

NASSAU, Bahamas — Days after Hurricane Dorian bore down in fury on the Bahamas, leaving at least 23 people dead and thousands homeless, harrowing stories of survival have begun to emerge. Sandra Cooke, a resident of Nassau, the capital, said her sister-in-law had been trapped under a collapsed roof in the Abaco Islands. At first, her brother couldn’t find his wife, but the family dog eventually detected her in the rubble. When there was a break in the storm, neighbors helped free her. Cooke was reunited with her sister-in-law on Tuesday. “She was trapped under the roof for 17 hours,” Cooke said Wednesday, adding that she had hired a private helicopter service to bring the rescued woman to Nassau. Marvin Dames, the minister of national security, said at a news conference on Wednesday night that the process of clearing the streets and making airports available had already begun on the Abaco Islands and on Grand Bahama, the two areas of the archipelago hit hardest by the hurricane, one of the strongest Atlantic storms on record. Aerial footage taken over the Abacos showed roads washed away and debris scattered across beaches. Splintered wood jutted from clusters of damaged homes. Gaining access to Marsh Harbour, the largest city on Abaco Island, has been problematic, with the airport, Leonard M. Thompson International, left underwater for days after the storm. Like Cooke, other people also resorted to private companies to help in the evacuations. A British navy vessel is stationed near Marsh Harbour for relief support and has been distributing food and water. There are no official estimates of the number of people displaced by the storm. But in Marsh Harbour, as many as 2,000 people were seeking shelter in a clinic and a government complex.

“Already we have begun the process of evacuating people from Abaco into New Providence,” said Dr. Duane Sands, the country’s minister of health, on Thursday. New Providence is the island where Nassau is located. “Those airlifts have started.” He said some evacuees were being sent to the Kendall G.L. Isaacs National Gymnasium in Nassau, but that additional shelters would have to be identified. Sands also said it was possible that tent cities would be set up on Abaco Island. The Norwegian energy company Equinor said the hurricane had damaged its oil storage terminal in South Riding Point on the island of Grand Bahama. The terminal was leaking, the company said, but it was too early to tell how much oil had spilled. During a flight Wednesday over the terminal The New York Times saw storage tanks that appeared to have no lid. The domed tops of five of its tanks were “gone,” a company spokesman said, but only three contained significant amounts of oil before the hurricane. Oil was visible on the ground surrounding the tanks, but the seawater around the terminal was clear. “Ahead of the hurricane we shut down the terminal as a precautionary measure

and the terminal has been designed with hurricanes and storms in mind,” said Erik Haaland, a company spokesman. “The areas surrounding the tanks are also designed as barriers to contain oil spills. So far we have not received information that oil has been observed at sea.” Some areas near the terminal had been evacuated at the request of local authorities. The company was still trying to establish a better overview of the terminal and said it was “mounting a safe and timely response to the situation.” “While weather conditions on the island have improved, road conditions and flooding continue to impact our ability to assess the situation and the scope of damages to the terminal and its surroundings,” the statement said. No Equinor employees were at the terminal when the storm passed. Equinor, formerly known as Statoil, said it shut down operations of the terminal at noon Saturday in preparation for the hurricane. The workers were given time off to look after their families and secure their private homes, the statement said. The storm made landfall in the Bahamas on Sunday as a Category 5 hurricane and stalled there for three days, inundating the islands and destroying homes and businesses.

In loving memory of

Joseph C. Cariseo June 1, 1939 - September 6, 2012

In the days since, the storm has weakened significantly, and by Thursday morning was swirling off the coast of the Carolinas as a Category 3 hurricane. Residents there were bracing for dangerous rain, winds and storm surge.

Improving your lawn? This is the season By Thomas Christopher For Columbia-Greene Media

There’s a common misconception among home greenskeepers that spring is the best time of year to sow grass seed. That’s no surprise because spring is when garden and home centers load the shelves with grass seed and “starter fertilizers.” The fact is, though, that a late summer to early fall sowing is much more likely to be successful in this region of the United States. This time of year brings cooling temperatures and, typically, moderate rains that are ideal for the germination of the types of grasses grown in the Northeast. In addition, whereas the seedlings of a spring sowing soon find themselves subjected to the stress of summer heat and drought, the grass that grows from an early fall sowing has all that season to grow and, after a dormant period in winter, spring as well before it must confront its first summer. As a result, the grass from a fall sowing enters summer with deeper roots and more mature top growth and is far better equipped to cope

with the inevitable stress. Sowing new seed now is also one of the easiest ways to rejuvenate a lawn that is thin or weedy. For this, my favorite technique is what is called “overseeding.” This involves working with the existing turf and reinforcing it with the addition of new seed. The best tool for this is an overseeder or slit-seeder, which can be rented by the day for a modest fee from almost any tool rental center. To use this, first cut the existing grass short, to a height of two inches or so and remove any clippings — this treatment ensures that the grass seed you sow into the lawn will get the exposure to sunlight it needs to germinate and grow. Then set the overseeder to the proper distribution rate for the type of seed you will be sowing, and then fill the hopper. Overseeders are typically self-propelled, pulling themselves along over the turf to cut parallel shallow grooves in the soil surface into which they sprinkle seeds. Generally it’s best to work in a crisscross pattern, running the overseeder back and forth across the whole lawn one way

before turning the machine 90 degrees to cross the lawn back and forth the other; this promotes a more even, complete coverage, and prevents the grass seed from springing up in rows like a corn field. After the overseeding, make sure the lawn gets a brief moistening with sprinklers in both mornings and evenings until the grass seedlings pop up, at which point you should water more thoroughly but

only a couple of times a week during rainless periods. Overseeding thickens a lawn and fills in blank spots, helping to make the turf resistant to weeds, especially crabgrass, without the use of chemicals. It also enables you to address pest and disease problems by introducing resistant types of grass. For example, I once helped a client whose bluegrass lawn had been the target of chinch

bugs by overseeding with a turf-type tall fescue seed that had been inoculated with endophytes. Endophytes are types of fungi that can inhabit certain types of grasses, principally fescues and perennial ryegrasses. The fungi feed on the grasses but in return make them resistant to most turf-eating insects as well as heat stress and some fungal diseases. In the case of my client’s lawn, I overseeded dry, west- and south-facing banks overlooking a swimming pool. The seedlings that emerged provided a thick turf that was untroubled by the chinch bugs the following year. A correction: A few weeks ago, in the column I wrote about invasive earthworms, I passed along a recommendation to kill any “snakeworms” you might find in your garden by dropping them into a bucket of water. A reader has informed me that this doesn’t work. A number of more lethal liquids such as bleach and rubbing alcohol have been recommended. Personally, I think I would stick to the recipe of a friend who says she has used successfully a solution

made by adding a couple of big squirts of dish soap to a 16-ounce container of water. Another alternative is to apply a fertilizer containing tea seed meal such as Early Bird Natural Organic Fertilizer 3-0-1, or Rhizo Aide 1-1-0 Fertilizer, both of which are available from golf course or professional landscape product suppliers. Tea seed meal’s natural saponins, soap-like substances, affect the worms’ mucus coat, controlling the invaders quite effectively.

WOODSTOCK — The Woodstock Artists Association & Museum presents a group exhibition entitled Radius 50 providing an in-depth and broad overview of how artists in the region are contributing to the cultural narrative through their creative response to living and working in the Hudson Valley. The exhibition, presented in the Main Gallery, will open Saturday, Sept. 7, and continues through Sunday, Sept. 29, with an opening reception on Saturday, Sept. 14, from 4-6 p.m. The reception is free and

open to the public. The 31 artists in Radius 50 were selected by juror Cathleen Chaffee, chief curator of the Albright-Knox Gallery in Buffalo. Chaffee speaks of her selection: “...Many artists selected have taken the power and precarity of the natural world as subjects. Some artists work to arrest and capture the complex beauty of insects, birds, and mammals while others choose to isolate and study abstracted fragments. In fragile slips of cut and collaged paper, miniscule altered seeds, fragments of fired clay,

Tradition at Red Hook to host grand opening event RED HOOK — Tradition at Red Hook has announced details of a grand opening party for its 102-unit village-style development located at 25 Old Farm Road in Red Hook. The event will offer guests a “slice of life” experience on Saturday, Sept. 7, from 1-4 p.m., on its community lawn, and will include live entertainment, refreshments, yard games, and tours of model homes. The environmentally-friendly project is rooted in a concept called the “Traditional Neighborhood Development” (TND), offering residents the experience of village life. It offers a pedestrian-oriented plan focused on connectivity between neighbors through functional front porches, two miles of sidewalks, interconnected tree-lined streets, alley-loaded garages, and open space. The community will include a clubhouse, pool, fitness center, mail house, courtyards, dog parks, community garden, nature trails, soccer fields, and a playground, among other amenities. nTraditional homes, cottagestyle homes, and townhomes will be available for purchase, ranging in size from 1300-2500 square feet (not including basements or garages), with price points starting in the low $400s. Said Joseph Bonura Jr., Partner in the project, “We hope this event will capture the essence of life at Tradition at Red Hook. Set

on our community lawn, where we plan to host countless events in the years to come, our Open House Party will include music, fun, and food. The concept behind Tradition at Red Hook is to give people the experience of village life with high-end amenities like a beautiful pool, clubhouse, walking trails, and more. Connecting with friends and neighbors is the cornerstone of our vision for this community, and there’s no better way to kick it off than with a great big party like the one we have scheduled for September 7th.” The 102 residences are being constructed in a section of the Village of Red Hook, New York that includes over 50 acres of

land, approximately 30 of which are preserved. Streets will require slow speeds, and nature trails and two miles of sidewalks will be accessible to all residents, making Tradition at Red Hook a pedestrian-friendly community. Reflected Joseph Kirchhoff, Partner at Tradition at Red Hook, “For anyone who’s ever felt compelled to experience life in a neighborhood where people enjoy sunsets from their front porches and free time in a community pool or on walking trails just steps down their sidewalks, we think Tradition at Red Hook is the perfect fit. It’s where an old-fashioned sense of community meets modern-day

luxury living - the best of everything. We’ll be offering tours of the model homes throughout the day during our Grand Opening Party, and look forward to sharing a little slice of what life will look like here with our guests on the community lawn all day long. Whether or not you’re currently in the market for a new home, if you haven’t yet checked it out, this is a wonderful opportunity to do so.” For more information about the September 7th Open House or to schedule a tour of available homes, visit www.traditionrh. com or call 845-752-0031.

The comedy ‘Moonlight and Magnolias’ opens at The Theater Barn NEW LEBANON — In “Moonlight and Magnolias,” written by Ron Hutchinson, 1939 Hollywood is abuzz. Legendary producer David O. Selznick has shut down production of his new epic, “Gone with the Wind,” a film adaptation of Margaret Mitchell’s novel. The screenplay, you see, just doesn’t work. So what’s an all-powerful movie mogul to do? While fending off the film’s stars, gossip columnists and his own fatherin-law, Selznick sends a car for famed screenwriter Ben Hecht and pulls formidable director Victor Fleming from the set of “The Wizard of Oz.” Summoning both to his office, he locks the doors, closes the shades, and on a diet of bananas and peanuts, the three men labor over five days to fashion a screenplay that will become the blueprint for one of the most successful and beloved films of all time. Sky Vogel will be directing – having appeared on the Barn stage numerous times, is delighted to finally disappear with this, his TB directorial debut. Previous directing credits include critically-acclaimed productions of “Proof,” “Don’t Dress for Dinner” and “Urinetown,” as well as two of his own one-act plays, staged for the first time this past winter in the Capital Region.

Regional actors Mark (Monk) Shayne-Lydon (Lucky Stiff and The Decorator) and Ryan Palmer (Baskerville) are back for more fun. Joining them to round out this talented cast are newcomers Michael Baldwin and Emma Simon. “Moonlight and Magnolias” starts Sept. 6, and runs until Sept. 22, performing three shows a weekend on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets are $29 for the evening performances and $27 for the Sunday matinees. Please pick your own seats at the website www.theaterbarn.com or call the box office staff at 518794- 8989 for information. The box office is open daily hours from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and then will reopen one hour before each performance. Don’t miss this sure-to-please musical as they continue to keep theater affordable to ALL and offer young artists a place to grow. www.theaterbarn.com “Moonlight & Magnolias” by Ron Hutchinson will be at The Theater Barn through Sept. 22. Performances Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets available at www. thetheaterbarn.org or by calling 518-794-8989.

Defending champ Catskill blanks TH Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — The 2018 Patroon Conference girls soccer champion Catskill Lady Cats defeated Taconic Hills, 5-0, in Wednesday’s season opener. The Cats received strong performances from Maci Mosher, Katie Bulich, Jillian Murray and Aryanna Burbas. “There were a lot of bright spots today; and a lot of things we identified that we can work on,” Catskill coach, Caty Dodig said, “The girls plated hard. We had everybody in and everybody contributed.” Mosher lead the offensive charge scoring two goals in the game. She scored the first goal of the game at 19:49 and her second at 22:34. Katie Bulich had the second goal of the game at 16:05, Aryanna Burbas contributed the third goal at 12:42 and Jillian Murray scored the last goal of the game at 33:37. Overall, Catskill had 40 shots on the goal — 23 coming in the first half. Catskill also had eight corner kicks. Laurea Christman had one save in goal for the Cats. Coach Dodig had high praise for two seniors. “Our returning seniors, Katie [Bulich] and Maci [Mosher] they controlled the field and they are leaders on the field.” Dodig said, “It is fun to watch them play.” Taconic Hills had just one shot on goal. The Titan’s keeper, Lauren Adamo, did have a solid performance in the net, collecting 26 saves. Overall, Coach Dodig was happy with the performance, but knows that there are some things to work on. “We have some little things here and there,” Dodig said, “We have a tournament this weekend, non-league.

HUDSON — Hudson High varsity football coach John Davi isn’t quite sure what to expect of his team going into the new season. There is plenty of talent on hand on the 26-player roster, but much of it is young and unproven on the varsity level. The young Bluehawks will be put to the test right out of the gate when they open the season on the road at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday against Class B newcomer Holy Trinity. “We’re definitely young,” Davi said. “We only have three seniors and we have work to do. I have three freshmen on the roster and an eighth-grader.” Gone is first-team Class B All-state linebacker Spencer Goldstien, jack-of-all trades

Hopefully we can tweak some things before we get back to league play.”

Returning senior running back/linebacker Zyonn Clanton is poised to have a breakout year as is sophomore quarterback Caleb Romano, who led the team in passing as a freshman, despite seeing limited action. “Caleb really has a knack for throwing the ball on the move, which we haven’t had for awhile, and Zyonn is going to be a stud,” Davi said. “We picked up a couple of kids that came over from soccer, Zack Bernockie and Tanner Shook. They’re both athletes and they’re both going to start. I’m optimistic at this point.” See BLUEHAWKS B6

The secret to Adam Ottavino’s calm

The New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — Before every game, one of the linchpins of the New York Yankees’ talented bullpen, Adam Ottavino, finds a spot in the clubhouse to sit and write. To combat the six-month mental

minefield of self-doubt that is baseball’s regular season, Ottavino has found solace in a daily routine of writing in a journal. In it, he tracks how he cares for his powerful right arm, how he sharpens his focus, how he plans to attack an opposing lineup and, sometimes, he gives himself a pep talk by writing such

messages as, “I am a great pitcher.” “Sometimes you slip into that natural state that you’re getting beat out there,” Ottavino said. “Or maybe you’re starting to doubt your ability a little bit. Sometimes it’s important to remember how good you really are and the many tens of thousands of good pitches you’ve

made. “So I just try to remind myself, ‘I can do whatever I want with my breaking ball.’ Or, ‘I can throw perfect fastballs.’ “ His journey from being a 2006 first-round draft pick who struggled with the St. Louis Cardinals to earning a three-year $27 million

contract with the Yankees this offseason included Tommy John surgery in 2015, seven up-and-down years with the Colorado Rockies and a lot of learning how to improve not just his mechanics but his mind. “In our jobs, you have to pitch See OTTAVINO B6

Will Carmelo Anthony have to follow the Joe Johnson path back to the NBA? Kristian Winfield New York Daily News

After a year away from the NBA, former Brooklyn Net and seven-time All-Star Joe Johnson is on the verge of making his grand return. If Carmelo Anthony’s nightmare becomes a reality, he may have to follow Johnson’s unique path back into league consideration. Johnson, after all, last played for the Houston Rockets in the 2017-18 season, but his career as an elite scorer and clutch performer came to a screeching halt shortly after. He has resurfaced a year later after hitting back-to-back gamewinners to win both the Big 3 championship game and MVP award. Iso-Joe now has workouts scheduled with Detroit, Milwaukee and Brooklyn after averaging 23 points per game in Ice Cube’s 3-on-3 basketball league. But Johnson said teams had no interest in him whatsoever after his year in Houston finished with him on the bench during their playoff run. That’s a reality Anthony is all too familiar with, now on the back end of free agency still searching for a new NBA home. “I never wanted to take a year off,” Johnson said on Sirius XM Radio with Evan Cohen and Tim Legler on Tuesday. “Obviously, the situation with me in Houston, it kind of dampered what I wanted to continue to do. Because obviously me not playing in the postseason, at 37,

you know, (teams) are like something must be wrong with him. So, I never had an opportunity to workout for any teams last year, or I

never even had a buzz to where my name was out there.” It’s on Anthony to prove the same teams that

can benefit from Johnson’s skill set can benefit from his, too. Both are elite offensive talents even for their age. Both are battle-tested veterans with playoff pedigree. Both are former All-Stars whose games were predicated on getting buckets, now struggling to keep up with a pace-and-space NBA where ball movement is king. It’s why Anthony was unceremoniously cast out of New York — his waning efficiency was why Oklahoma City and Houston chose to move on. Johnson didn’t play particularly well in Houston, either, averaging just six points in the least efficient shooting season of his career. He wasn’t banished from the team like Anthony, nor was he perceived a team cancer. But he was a hero in Utah, hitting a game-winner in the 2017 playoffs, and he was a hero in the Big 3, where he made his return to the national spotlight. Anthony has been out of the spotlight since November and hasn’t had a signature moment since the Knicks were relevant. His exile from Houston after 10 games culminated with a 1-for-11 performance against the same Thunder team that traded him away. It has been one of the rockiest falls from grace for a star of Anthony’s pedigree. Yet while ships have sailed for Anthony, they are arriving for Johnson. We live in a “What See NBA B6

NEW YORK — The Big Three of men’s tennis had dwindled to the Lone One before Rafael Nadal took to the court Wednesday night for his quarterfinal against spunky but undersized 5-foot-7 Diego Schwartzman. Novak Djokovic had retired in the fourth round because of a shoulder injury, and a suddenly old-looking Roger Federer had departed in the quarterfinals due to tightness in his upper back and neck and the dynamic play of Grigor Dimitrov. That left Nadal, 33, to uphold the honor of the trio that has won each of the last 11 Grand Slam event singles titles and 15 of the last 17. When Schwartzman charged back to pull even at 4-4 in the first set and gained two break points in the next game, and again when he won four straight games in the second set to bring it to 5-5, it wasn’t entirely ridiculous to think the Big Three might become the Big Zero. Form prevailed, though Nadal’s serve was broken four times while he labored in humidity under the closed roof of Arthur Ashe Stadium to earn a 6-4, 7-5, 6-2 victory and reach the semifinals on Friday against Matteo Berrettini of Italy. “I am so happy, super happy with the way I accepted the situation, accepted the challenge,” Nadal said in an oncourt interview. “Here I am in the semifinals and that’s the most important thing.” Nadal, who counts three U.S. Open titles among his 18 Grand Slam event singles titles, has never played

Berrettini, seeded No. 24, pushed past his nerves to take a 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 7-6 (5) decision from No. 13 Gael Monfils of France on Wednesday in lively atmosphere. When it was over, Berrettini dropped to the court on his back and covered his face in disbelief. “It’s my first semis. I never won a match here in the U.S. Open, so it’s my second year in the main draw. I didn’t expect that,” he said. “I’m pretty excited for that. I was tired and I felt to just leave myself on the court.” Monfils’ groundstrokes careened between the delicate brush strokes of a masterpiece and splotches dripped from a paint-by-numbers kit. He committed 17 double faults, two in the tiebreaker.

NEW YORK — On the greatest occasion of her tennis life, Bianca Andreescu’s mind flew back a year to remember experiencing one of the most painful moments of her career on these grounds. Her U.S. Open hopes last year crashed before they could take flight when she suffered a back injury and lost in the first round of the qualifying tournament. On Wednesday, after she defeated Elise Mertens 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 at Arthur Ashe Stadium to advance to the semifinals, Andreescu was struck by the happy absurdity of what has happened to her in the last 12 months. “This, honestly, is so crazy,” she said after her power-infused, fullcourt game carried her past Mertens and to a matchup against Belinda Bencic on Thursday. “Is this real life?” It’s as real as her 40 winners against Mertens — who had lost only 16 games in the first four rounds — and as real as Andreescu’s success in each of her last 12 matches that have gone

But he also fought off four match points before succumbing to 23-year-old Berrettini, who became the youngest U.S. Open semifinalist since Djokovic was a semifinalist at that age in 2010. “I really don’t know what are his limits, because he’s still going up, up, up,” said Berrettini’s coach, Vincenzo Santopadre, “and so it’s difficult to say where he can arrive, what he can reach, because I think nobody knows because he’s so young and he’s continuing this growing.” Berrettini appeared to be pulling away in the fifth set when he won three straight games and built a 5-2 lead, but Monfils held and then Berrettini double-faulted on his first match point and

sent a forehand into the net to give Monfils the break and the game. Monfils held for 5-5 and Berrettini held for 6-5 before he squandered two match points with a series of unforced errors. “It’s a sign for me, you know, for the first point of the breaker, when I say I want to be aggressive, I return a decent return with my forehand. He had a great answer straightaway, winner cross,” Monfils said. “And then I think I just disappear with my serve, you know. And then it’s tough. You’re battling, because honestly Matteo, I will know that he will push. He will push to finish it, because I felt that he was a bit tight, so he will go for his shot. He did well. He had a little bit luck. That’s also part of the game.” Berrettini took a 6-4 lead

in the tiebreaker on a nifty forehand volley that ended a 24-shot rally, and Monfils saved match point for the fourth time when he countered with an ace. Monfils sent a forehand long to end the instant classic after 3 hours and 57 minutes. “I think when I was playing it was one of the best matches I ever saw. I was playing but I was watching also,” Berrettini said after he became the second Italian man to reach the semifinals here. The first was Corrado Barazzutti in 1977. The other semifinal will features Dimitrov against Daniil Medvedev. Berrettini’s earliest memory of Nadal is watching him on TV while Nadal beat Guillermo Coria to win a tournament in Berrettini’s hometown of Rome in 2005. “I think he’s the greatest fighter ever in this sport. It’s unbelievable what he’s doing,” Berrettini said. “I admire him, like the way he is on the court. Like, his attitude is something that I think it’s close to perfection.” Schwartzman also admires Nadal’s spirit and declared him the favorite Friday. “He’s like a lion in the middle of the jungle. I play him eight times and every big moment he play better than me,” Schwartzman said. Nadal was complimentary toward Berrettini. “He is super confident. He is a player who is making big steps forward every week,” Nadal said. “It’s going to be a big challenge.” Not too big, though, for the only one of the Big Three left standing.

three sets. The 19-year-old from the Toronto suburb of Thornhill gave notice of her potential when she won the championship at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells this year. After recovering from a shoulder injury, she won a hard-court title in Toronto when Serena Williams retired because of injury. Now, Andreescu has made her deepest foray into a Grand Slam event. Still, she insisted her best here is still to come. “I just fought really well with what I had every single day,” she said. “I think that’s the most important thing for me, and I’m sure for every athlete you’re not going to have good days every day. So I just try my best to figure out what’s going well and what’s not and just go from there.” Andreescu started slowly Wednesday, returning badly and committing an array of unforced errors as Mertens closed out the first set with an ace. The second set stayed on serve until Andreescu, surging as she created more chances with her forehand, broke for

a 4-2 lead and gained another break to end the set. She got the first break of the final set and took a 5-3 lead on a backhand winner. She converted her first match point by walloping a backhand down the line. “I think anyone would be shocked to be in the semifinals of a Grand Slam because all of us dream of this moment ever since we’re kids, ever since we picked up a racket,” said Andreescu, whose match against Bencic will follow the semifinal between No. 8 Williams and No. 5 Elina Svitolina. Bencic pulled away from Donna Vekic for a 7-6 (5), 6-3 victory and kept alive the dream she had clung to while injuries disrupted her career. Touted for stardom when she cracked the top 100 at age 17 and got to the quarterfinals here in 2014, she was detoured by problems with her back, wrist and foot. She played in low-tier tournaments to rebuild her game, drudgery that has carried her to her first Grand Slam event semifinal. “I was dreaming, of course, about this day coming, but you never know

what’s going to happen,” the Switzerland native said. “It’s there like a dream, always. Even when you are playing bad, you want to come back to this feeling. You want to eventually get the big wins and have these nice feelings. I think that’s motivation enough to keep going.” Against Vekic, Bencic began to think the game better and took control in the second set. “I think it was small points that changed the whole match,” said Bencic. “It was, of course, very tight even in the second set. I tried to put a little bit more variation in the game. I tried to play a little bit smarter.” Bencic said she has been impressed by the variation in Andreescu’s game; Andreescu praised Bencic’s serve and movement. “I’m going to do my best to just focus on myself mainly and just keep doing what I’m doing,” she said, “because I think my game is throwing off a lot of players.”

NFC PREVIEW:

How the Eagles stack up against the rest of the conference Ed Barkowitz The Philadelphia Inquirer

Plenty to like about the Eagles upgrades on offense, but if they’ve given Fletcher Cox a formidable partner with Malik Jackson, they could have one of the best defensive lines in the conference. Enjoy the next four months of football, which are sure to be filled with fantastic finishes, comical controversies and plenty of prayers every time Carson Wentz drops back in the pocket. Here is a look at the NFC with teams listed in projected order of finish. NFC East — Philadelphia Eagles Last season: 9-7, won a playoff game, nearly made it back to the conference final. Over/under wins: 9.5. Most interesting non-divisional game: Week 11 vs. New England. Carson Wentz will be the sixth Eagles quarterback to start opposite Tom Brady. Or will it be Josh McCown? The Birds’ others: Donovan McNabb (2003, 2005; lost both), A.J. Feeley (2007, lost), Vince Young (2011, lost), Sam Bradford (2015, won), Nick Foles (2018, you might remember that one). Three things: If Brandon Graham reaches his goal of 10 sacks in his 10th season, he’ll get to 52.5 for his career and move into the top five in team history. Reggie White (124), Trent Cole (85.5), Clyde Simmons (76), Hugh Douglas (54.5) and Greg Brown (50.5) are the top five.If Malik Jackson rediscovers his 201516 form, he and Fletcher Cox will make a scary tandem at defensive tackle.It won’t take much for rookie Miles Sanders to become the best Penn State running back in Eagles history. Eric McCoo (54 career rushing yards) holds the top spot, followed by Tony Hunt (25 yards). Kenny Jackson, a wide receiver who played for the Eagles in the 1980s, is probably the best Nittany Lion/Eagles player. Either him or Vyto Kab.Key number: 30. Eagles’ defensive ranking last season in passing yards allowed. Probably would have been dead last if the Redskins weren’t forced to play Josh Johnson in the season finale. The Birds gave up just 22 touchdown passes, however, which was tied for eighth in the league. — Dallas Cowboys Last season: 10-6, won the division and won a playoff game. Over/under wins: 9.5. Most interesting non-divisional game: Week 15 vs. L.A. Rams. The Dallas defense spent a good part of the offseason washing off the tire marks after giving up 273 yards rushing to the Rams in last year’s playoffs. Three things: Rookie Tony Pollard took advantage of Ezekiel Elliott’s holdout enough to earn playing time. He’s listed as a running back but played wide receiver at Memphis.Pollard was 6 years old when Jason Witten came into the NFL. Witten, 37, has resumed his Hall of Fame career after taking a year off. Randall Cobb steps into the slot receiver role formerly held by Cole Beasley, who is now with Buffalo. If Cobb’s healthy, it’s an upgrade. He missed seven games last season because of hamstring and concussion issues.Key number: 23. Seasons since America’s Team last won the Super Bowl. — N.Y. Giants Last season: 5-11, but man, Saquon was a monster. Over/under wins: 6. Most interesting non-divisional game: Week 10 at N.Y. Jets. Big Blue has a pretty friendly overall schedule including this road game at their home stadium. They just have to sit on the other sideline. The Giants are 8-5 in this series, though the Jets won in overtime in 2015. Three things: Eli Manning is in the final year of his contract. This will be rookie Daniel Jones’ team at some point. It sure won’t be

Odell Beckham’s.Strong safety Jabrill Peppers, acquired from Cleveland for Beckham, is part of reworked secondary. Free agent Antoine Bethea is the free safety and rookie firstrounder Deandre Baker joins Janoris Jenkins at cornerback. The Giants were 4-0 in the preseason for the first time since 2014. They went 6-10 that year. Key number: 382. Number of rushing attempts (261) and passing targets (121) Saquon Barkley had last season. Whew. — Washington Redskins Last season: 7-9, and they needed four quarterbacks just to get through it. Over/under wins: 6. Most interesting non-divisional game: Week 8 vs. Minnesota. Think the Redskins miss playing franchise tag with Kirk Cousins? He came up small for the Vikes in Week 17 last year, but he’d still be better than what Washington has now. Three things: Jay Gruden is 35-44-1 in his five seasons as head coach, but if the selection of rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins turns out to be a good one, he might be able to weather another mediocre season.Case Keenum, 6-10 last year in Denver, is the opening-day QB.Tight end Jordan Reed suffered his seventh reported concussion during the preseason. He’s a beast out there, but that’s worrisome.Key number: 6.5. Yards per carry Derrius Guice had at LSU. He missed all of 2018 after tearing an ACL in the first preseason game. NFC North — Green Bay Packers Last season: 6-9-1, led to significant changes. Over/under wins: 9. Most interesting non-divisional game: Week 4 vs. Eagles. Carson Wentz vs. Aaron Rodgers in prime time on a Thursday night? Yeah, that’s cool. Three things: The Packers have a new head coach (Matt LaFleur), offensive coordinator (Nathaniel Hackett) and quarterbacks coach (Luke Getsy). Even changed up the offensive line coach. Aaron Rodgers, for what it’s worth, turns 36 on Dec. 2.Signed linebacker Za’Darius Smith away from Baltimore to help the pass rush. Smith had 8.5 sacks last season after registering 10 in the three previous seasons. Should be an upgrade over Clay Matthews, who is now with the Rams.Fantasy sleeper? Second-year slot receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who earned high praise from Rodgers this summer.Key number: 25. Touchdown passes Rodgers had last season, fewest for him ever in a full season. — Chicago Bears Last season: 12-4, but (doink) hardly anyone remembers (doink) that they improved by seven wins over the previous season. Over/under wins: 9.5. Most interesting non-divisional game: Week 16 vs. Kansas City. The Bears defense gave up the fewest points last year while the Chiefs offense scored the most. Currently scheduled to be the Sunday night game. Three things: Wide receiver Allen Robinson gave 25 Chicago-area teachers $200 each to spend on items for themselves. “When people think about going back to school, they automatically think about the students,” Robinson told the Chicago Sun Times, “Which, don’t get me wrong, it’s a tremendous part about it. (But) I think the teachers are as well. You want teachers to want to go to school each and every day excited to interact with their students and educate their students.” Pretty cool.Fourth-round rookie David Montgomery will take Jordan Howard’s place in the Bears’ backfield.The Bears’ search for a kicker this offseason to replace Cody Parkey has been borderline comical. During a tryout camp, they used something called “Augusta Silence” to test the kickers’ nerves. They settled on Eddy Pineiro, who has never kicked in a regular-season game.Key

number: .666. Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky’s completion percentage in his first season with coach Matt Nagy’s offense. It was .594 in 2017 when he was a rookie. — Minnesota Vikings Last season: 8-7-1, missed the playoffs when they lost the season finale to Chicago. Over/under wins: 9. Most interesting non-divisional game: Week 6 vs. Eagles. Remember the video gag Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey pulled, trashing Eagles fans before Super Bowl 52? Got to hand it to him. It was pretty good. Three things: Kevin Stefanski (St. Joe’s Prep, Penn) will have some help in his first season as offensive coordinator. Former NFL quarterback and Super Bowl-winning coach Gary Kubiak was brought on as an offensive adviser.Rookie Garrett Bradbury will be the center for Kirk Cousins, who understandably took a lot of grief for last year’s mediocrity.”The reason we were 8-7-1 instead of 13-3 was situational football,” tight end Kyle Rudolph told the St. Paul Pioneer Press. “We didn’t execute in critical situations in the fourth quarter of four or five games. So we’ve gone back and learned from that.”Key number: $64 million. Total of the four-year extension signed by wide receiver Adam Thielen, whose salary in 2018 was $3.85 million. — Detroit Lions Last season: 6-10, lost five of six midseason after a 3-3 start. Over/under wins: 6.5. Most interesting non-divisional game: Week 2 vs. L.A. Chargers. One thing current Lions head coach Matt Patricia could do when he was an assistant at New England for all those years was beat Philip Rivers. Three things: DE Trey Flowers reunited with his former coordinator Patricia when he was signed away from New England. Flowers had shoulder surgery after the Super Bowl and didn’t do much during training camp.As huge as the Eagles tight ends are, Detroit’s are even bigger. Jesse James (6-foot-7, 261) is listed as the starter. Rookie T.J. Hockenson (6-5, 250) backs him up.Jan. 5 will be the 28th anniversary of the last time the Lions won a playoff game.Key number: 5.4. Yards per carry last season for running back Kerryon Johnson before injuring a knee in Week 11. NFC South — New Orleans Saints Last season: 13-3, won seven of eight on the road. Over/under wins: 11.5. Most interesting non-divisional game: Week 2 at L.A. Rams. Bet the officials are thrilled this isn’t in New Orleans after last year’s blown pass interference non-call in the NFC championship game. Three things: Michael Thomas’ 321 receptions are the most ever for a player’s first three seasons. The Saints made him the highestpaid receiver with a five-year, $100 million extension that includes $61 million guaranteed. Traded up to take Texas A&M’s Erik McCoy in the second round following the sudden retirement of Pro Bowl center Max Unger.Not easy being a Saints fan. Last two playoff losses have been the Minneapolis Miracle and the NOLA NoCall.Key number: 74.4. Drew Brees’ completion percentage last season, a new single-season record for the second consecutive year. Brees will turn 41 on Jan. 15. — Carolina Panthers Last season: 7-9. Started 6-2, but lost seven in a row as Cam Newton tried futilely to play through a shoulder injury. Over/under wins: 7.5. Most interesting non-divisional game: Week 15 vs. Seattle. They’ve played the Seahawks eight times in the last seven years. Seattle has won six, including at the buzzer last season. Three things: Newton threw a scare

into fantasy owners when he injured his foot in a preseason game against New England, but he’s fine for Week 1.Imhotep product D.J. Moore is expected to be Newton’s No. 1 receiver with Devin Funchess off to Indianapolis. Moore had 55 catches on 82 targets as a rookie last year.Added DT Gerald McCoy, DE Bruce Irvin and drafted OLB Brian Burns as defense switches to a 3-4. DE Julius Peppers retired.Key number: 107. Receptions for running back Christian McCaffrey, who was on the field for 91.3% of the offensive snaps last season. — Tampa Bay Buccaneers Last season: 5-11, fired their coach. Again. Over/under wins: 6.5. Most interesting non-divisional game: Week 10 vs. Arizona. Bucs coach Bruce Arians shows off his snazzy glasses and hopefully high-powered offense to the Cardinals, where he was head coach from 201317. Three things: Rolling the dice one more time with Jameis Winston, who is not signed beyond this season. Tampa Bay is banking on Arians to get Winston, 25, to cut down mistakes and realize his potential.Disruptive DT Ndamukong Suh is with his third team in three years after signing a one-year deal for $9 million. He played last season with the Rams at $14 million. There are 29 assistant coaches on Arians’ staff, and the Bucs are the only team with three African American coordinators. Todd Bowles runs the defense, Byron Leftwich is the OC, Keith Armstrong is in charge of special teams.Key number: 29.0. Average number of points the Buccaneers gave up last season. If they want to ease the pressure on Winston, lowering this number will help. — Atlanta Falcons Last season: 7-9; three-game winning streak to end the season makes the record a bit

deceptive. Over/under wins: 8.5. Most interesting non-divisional game: Week 7 vs. L.A. Rams. The Falcons surprised the Rams in the playoffs two years ago, when Julio Jones put up 9-94-1. Three things: Signed veteran free agents James Carpenter and Jamon Brown and used both firstround picks (Chris Lindstrom, Caleb McGarry) on offensive linemen.The Falcons still have a lethal passing game, but they slipped to 27th in rushing.You bet your AstroTurf Julio Jones saw that deal the Saints gave Michael Thomas. Jones, who led the NFL with 1,677 receiving yards last season, is signed through 2020.Key number: 90. Career carries for Ito Smith. He’ll be the backup running back after Devonta Coleman, who just can’t seem to stay healthy. NFC West — L.A. Rams Last season: 13-3, won NFC title, but scored just three points in their Super Bowl loss. Over/under wins: 10.5. Most interesting non-divisional game: Week 7 at Atlanta. Last time they played in Atlanta was February’s Super Bowl when Sean McVay’s offense became Bill Belichick’s latest victim. Three things: Tied the 1971 Dolphins for the dubious record of fewest points scored in a Super Bowl. The next season, Miami went undefeated and won the title. Slot receiver Cooper Kupp, who averages about seven targets per game, is healthy again after tearing his ACL in November.Free agent Eric Weddle (33) joins offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth (37) as the two Rams players older than the head coach.Key number: 45. Total rushing yards for Todd Gurley in the NFC championship game (10) and Super Bowl (35). His backups are rookie Darrell Henderson and veteran

Malcolm Brown. C.J. Anderson signed with Detroit. — Seattle Seahawks Last season: 10-6, lost in wild-card round at Dallas. Over/under wins: 8.5. Most interesting non-divisional game: Week 3 vs. New Orleans. Best part of whenever the Saints visit Seattle is dialing up the replays of Marshawn Lynch’s devastating touchdown from the 2011 wild-card game. The fans were in such a frenzy they registered on a local seismograph. One of the wildest plays of this generation. Three things: Gave Russell Wilson a fouryear extension for $140 million ($107M guaranteed) and avoided a messy game of franchise tagging with the franchise QB.Acquired Jadeveon Clowney for two linebackers to help the pass rush, which was hurt by the trade of DE Frank Clark to Kansas City and the suspension of DT Jarran Reed. Reed is out for the first six games for violating the conduct policy after a domestic violence incident.Remember this name. The Seahawks took linebacker Cody Barton with the 88th pick that originally belonged to the Eagles. That was the pick the Eagles sent to Detroit for the Golden Tate rental. It was traded several times after that.Key number: 57. Number of receptions last year for Tyler Lockett, who takes over as the No. 1 receiver after Doug Baldwin retired and with rookie DK Metcalf dealing with a knee injury. — San Francisco 49ers Last season: 4-12, season went in tank when Jimmy Garoppolo got hurt; showed a little life when Nick Mullens won three games. Over/under wins: 8. Most interesting non-divisional game: Week 5 vs. Cleveland. At home on a Monday night coming after their bye — and before they have to play at the Rams. Early litmus test for two aspiring teams.

have you done for me lately?” society, and Anthony has nothing to show. Johnson has proven he still has ice in his veins. While his 3-on-3 performances have earned him workouts with three teams, Anthony’s decade of basketball excellence has been undone by failures in his last two stops. Free agency has come and gone. Billions of dollars in guaranteed salaries have been handed out, yet Anthony is still on the open market. Teams have signed players far less accomplished. LeBron James’ Lakers even passed up on his friend, instead opting to round the roster out with two-way vets like Danny Green and Jared Dudley. At this point, Melo would probably hoop for free. All he wants to do is clear his name. Anthony has reportedly been fighting the notion that he’s a team cancer, a stigma that has followed him from New York in the final days of the Phil Jackson era, over to Oklahoma City, over to Houston and into free agency. The Thunder won 48 games with Anthony on the roster, then only 49 the following season. They lost in the first round in five games both seasons, then blew the entire thing up this summer by trading Paul George to the Clippers and Russell Westbrook to the Rockets. They were destined for failure, with or without Melo on the team. The Rockets began rolling shortly after his dismissal but

Junior Mike Green and freshman D’Andre Smith are expected to join Clanton in the backfield and both have great speed. They will benefit from running behind one of Hudson’s biggest offensive lines in years. “We’re probably as big a team as I’ve every coached,” Davi said. “We have some big dudes up front.” Hudson scrimmaged against Cobleskill-Richmondville, Oneonta, Fonda and Unatego on Saturday and Davi thought it went fairly well. “I thought we played pretty well in the scrimmage, but we found out there are a lot of things we need to tidy up,” Davi said. “Caleb played well, Zyonn had a couple of nice runs for touchdowns and our offensive line played pretty well. Defensively, coordinator Phil Eberhardt stepped down and Justin Cukerstein has stepped into the role. “We have some new

70 games or maybe more in six months,” he said. “That’s the whole battle: It’s not just getting grooved but staying grooved, and being able to not lose it mentally the whole time.” So, for more than seven years, Ottavino, 33, has written down what he calls mental and physical cues — basically, reminders — to keep him focused. At the suggestion of his father, Ottavino began jotting down thoughts in his cellphone in 2012 because his mind wandered too much on the mound. It later morphed into hand writing into a pocket-size black notebook, which has helped him become a bullpen star for the Yankees, who beat the visiting Texas Rangers, 4-1, on Wednesday. And while Ottavino, whose devastating slider has him leading the bullpen with a 1.66 ERA, was willing to discuss his prized notebook, the exact

coaches this year,” Davi said. “Justin Cukerstein is taking over as defensive coordinator and that’s a little different for the kids. It’s just that we’re lacking experience on both sides of the football. That’s what’s making it hard right now. We just have to put the pieces together and it may take some time to put those pieces together.” The Class B Reinfurt Division is historically one of the

toughest in Section II and Davi doesn’t expect that to change this year, but is optimistic his young squad will hold its own. “I think we can compete with any team in our division, provided we stay healthy, especially our big guys. We don’t have a lot of depth. I probably have 7 or 8 big guys to play on both sides of the ball. I’m not the kind of guy to go out and pound my chest and say we’re going to win a lot of games, but

contents were for his eyes only and he was careful to hide it in his locker. He’s on his second of the season, with the rest stored at home. “Writing it down matters for me,” he said. “It’s like a reinforcement.” Ottavino does this exercise daily, using two pages of the notebook. On the right side, Ottavino details everything he did to care for his body and arm that day, from physical therapy to acupuncture, to keep his routine consistent. And if he pitches, he updates how much he threw and what he did after the game. The left side of the journal is key for Ottavino, because it is where he maintains the mindset he has worked diligently to achieve. At the bottom of the page, he writes down physical cues, such as “have a short circle,” a reminder to combat the tendency of his arm’s path to get too long, or “quiet body, fast hand,” to help simplify his delivery. At the top of the left page, however, Ottavino applies all the mental training he has learned in his 14 years of

professional baseball. He usually writes this part during the early stages of a game so it will still be fresh if he is called upon in the later innings. “It’s always important every day to remind myself of the thoughts I want to have when I’m pitching,” he said. Being overly analytical has hindered Ottavino in the past. He described himself as “confident but paranoid” on the mound. “I feel like I fire off a lot of thoughts per minute or per second,” said Ottavino, who was majoring in history at Northeastern University when he was drafted. With the Cardinals, Ottavino worked with several mental skill coaches to help calm his mind. Even now, he said, it can still be difficult to push aside thoughts about the consequences of mistakes, like “if I give up a hit here, it’s two runs.” “They try to tell you get to that spot of in the zone where you’re having no thoughts,” he said. “But I’ve never found that to work. I can’t get to that.” He’s picked up several

still flamed out in a secondround exit to a Warriors team without Kevin Durant. They even admitted at the time that Anthony wasn’t a team cancer. He was merely the fall guy for their awful start to the season. Mike D’Antoni said Anthony’s game and the Rockets’ style of play weren’t a good fit. “He was trying to make the necessary sacrifices,” he said last November. “It wasn’t fair to him as a Hall of Fame player to play in a way that wasn’t good for him, wasn’t good for us.” Now, it’s hard to find a fit that works. Anthony has been linked to both the Knicks, who’ve watched him workout this summer, and the Nets, whose two superstars have reportedly pushed the organization to sign him. It doesn’t matter where he plays. Carmelo Anthony just wants another shot. Unfortunately, he might not get the opportunity. Even Damian Lillard, who spent two summers attempting to recruit Anthony to Portland — only for Anthony to choose Oklahoma City, then Houston — has moved on. “He deserves to be in the league,” Lillard said on his appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast, “but he ain’t coming here.” Training camps open in late September and preseason begins in the first week of October. The odds of Anthony making a roster get slimmer by the day. Then again, Johnson kept hope alive and never officially retired before heading to the Big 3 over the summer. Maybe Melo needs to leave the NBA and play elsewhere for the league to finally appreciate him again.

tricks over the years, though. A Cardinals pitching coach, Derek Lilliquist, taught Ottavino to focus on only one clear thought, such as “throw a cutter down and away.” Teammates offered various other tips, such as avoiding looking at results and statistics during the season, or distracting his mind before a game to avoid overthinking. One of the best lessons came from former Rockies bullpen coach Jim Wright, who taught Ottavino to train not only his body but what he called the focus muscle in the brain. After playing catch one day, Wright took Ottavino to the bullpen, placed a glove on top of a sandbag and told Ottavino to knock it down with a pitch — forcing him to concentrate only on the glove. It all clicked for Ottavino around the 2013 season when he heard NBA star Kevin Durant, then with Oklahoma City, say during a halftime interview after missing 11 of 12 shots: “I’m going to keep shooting and never assume a miss. I always assume a make.” “It occurred to me,”

Ottavino said, “that I was more hoping that my pitches were going to go where I wanted rather than expecting them to go. That’s when I took the step of not only training the focus muscle but expecting to make the pitch every time. That was a huge turning point in my overall ability.” Ottavino’s notebook is littered with positive encouragement and repeated mantras. When he struggles with his command — his walk rate is up this season — it is because he had trouble applying the cues in his notebook. It has also been because opponents don’t swing: Ottavino had struck out 32% of the batters he had faced this season going into Wednesday’s game, impressive given they swing at his pitches just 38% of the time, among the lowest rates in baseball. Whatever Ottavino writes to himself in his notebook, he makes sure the wording is positive. Instead of “don’t aim the ball,” he writes, “throw the heck out of the ball” or “punch tickets” (but with more colorful language).

“I don’t want to write ‘don’t,’ “ he said. “So I try to write things to do.” There is one message Ottavino always writes to himself: “Ten minutes of focus.” That is how long he will likely be in the game when he pitches and he wants to be completely locked in for it. Earlier this year, Zack Britton, another Yankees’ bullpen standout who is similarly analytical, noticed Ottavino scribbling in his journal and thought, “I’m not the only weirdo that keeps a log.” Britton has been tracking his daily routine, game plan and thoughts since 2014 at the suggestion of his former coaches in Baltimore. Like Ottavino, Britton sometimes goes back to look at what mental or physical reminders he wrote, especially during rough stretches. “I hadn’t been on a team where another guy did it,” Britton said. “It’s cool to see another guy do it. I’ve always tried to get young guys to do it. It’s a good tool.”

Hudson will kick off its regular season schedule with a road game against Holy Trinity on Saturday at 1:30 p.m.

Husband won’t defend wife from shunning by his family I am a 47-year-old woman, married to the love of my life for seven years. Three years ago, my husband’s cousin and her mother told him they didn’t like me and didn’t want me around. I only found out about it two years ago. I feel humiliated, and it’s uncomfortable for me to be around any of them now. I DEAR ABBY don’t get invited most of the time, and that’s OK with my husband! I want him to address and resolve it, but he hasn’t and won’t. In addition, we have had some major marital issues. I want him to stand up for me, for us and for our marriage. I haven’t done anything wrong, but I feel like I’m being punished because he won’t take a stand. He and his family have swept the whole thing under the rug for so long that neither of us knows what to do next. Please kindly advise. Cast Aside in Texas

JEANNE PHILLIPS

You say you and your husband have had major marital issues. Did the two of you receive counseling to resolve them, or were they, too, swept under the rug? I think some sessions with a licensed marriage and family counselor might be helpful. I am not saying your husband should fight your battles for you, but ignoring this problem is not helping your marriage. He has to find the courage to tell these relatives that if they have a problem with you, they should address it with you. If he doesn’t, you should approach them directly. He should have told his aunt and his cousin the two of you are a team three years ago. If he doesn’t have enough starch in his spine to do that, it will eventually destroy your marriage. My boyfriend, “Marcus,” and I recently

adopted an adorable rescue puppy, “Daisy.” She was supposed to be mostly my boyfriend’s dog because I work a demanding full-time job, and I have a cat that lives with us. Marcus has always been a dog person, but I enjoy them, too. The problem is, Daisy has taken a liking to me. When I’m home, she follows me everywhere. I suspect, due to her behavior, that she may have been mistreated by men previously, but nonetheless, Marcus is extremely hurt. He won’t take her outside if I’m home, and he doesn’t try to play with her or train her. Every time she rejects him in any way, he takes it personally. We signed Daisy up for a puppy training class. He participated for about five minutes before giving up and handing me the leash during the first lesson. How do I get my boyfriend to stop taking our puppy’s behavior so personally? I should note, we went through this when my cat didn’t like him at first, but they are on good terms now. Pet Problem in Washington It has been my experience that dogs respond more positively to the person who regularly feeds, exercises and plays with them and shows them affection, than to a partner who remains passive. The more Marcus withdraws from Daisy, the more pronounced her attachment to you will become. Urge him to discuss this with the dog trainer, so perhaps the situation can be put right. Caveat: If this is the way your boyfriend reacts to perceived rejection, I’d think twice about starting a family with him if I were you.

I am very sorry to hear about it, even so many years later. Having a child with major health issues is an immense strain on a family. Measles (rubeola) certainly is very dangerous for pregnant women. There is a high risk for pneumonia and encephalitis (brain swelling). Sixty percent of pregnant women exposed to measles will have a bad outcome to themselves or their baby, and 12% of women died. However, I suspect you were more likely exposed to rubella, also called German measles, which is even more dangerous to the developing fetus, although it is a very mild illness to the mother. Before the vaccine was introduced in 1969, rubella was a feared infection in mothers. In a major outbreak in 1964, there were 12.5 million cases in the U.S., with 11,000

Congenital rubella syndrome one reason vaccines remain critical I have been following all the concerns about exposure to measles but have not seen anything mentioned that it is dangerous for pregnant women to be exposed. In 1966, doctors felt that I was exposed during my third month of pregnancy, and our daughter was born with severe brain damage. The child of another woman in our community was born deaf because she also had TO YOUR measles. Is this no longer a GOOD HEALTH concern?

fetal deaths and 20,000 cases of congenital rubella syndrome. By contrast, between 2001 and 2004, there were 13 cases per year of rubella reported, with less than one case per year of congenital rubella syndrome, on average. The effects of congenital rubella syndrome can be devastating. Severe brain injury is most common when the developing fetus is exposed in the first three months, as your daughter was. Deafness occurs in about two-thirds of those born with congenital rubella syndrome. Virtually every organ may be affected. Two doses of rubella vaccine are 97% effective. Successful vaccination means that neither a pregnant woman nor her fetus will be affected even if exposed. However, the 3% of women in whom the vaccine is not effective and those who cannot or will not get the vaccine are at risk for this devastating complication if exposed to a person with rubella, which is highly infectious for one to two weeks during which the person with rubella may have no symptoms. Congenital rubella syndrome is another reason why it is so critical to maintain high compliance with the MMR vaccine, which covers measles, mumps and rubella.

Horoscope By STELLA WILDER Born today, you are far more likely to do something untoward or illicit than to lie about it afterward, for you are nothing if not honest to a fault! Indeed, it is a source of pride that you will always step up and “tell it like it is” when others around you are cowering and trying to deceive anyone seeking the truth. Whether or not it is something people want to hear, you can be counted on to say what you think, what you know and what you’ve seen and heard — and if that’s a problem for anyone, too bad! You have many traits that are attractive to others, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually — but you may encounter a few people you rub the wrong way for no good reason that you can fathom.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You are eager for recognition, but you may not yet be doing the one thing that is certain to win it for you. A

change is in order. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You may be the “dark horse,” but that only means that your eventual victory today is going to take many people very much by surprise. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You don’t want to lose your cool today, so there may be an occasion when you remove yourself from a certain situation temporarily. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You are expecting a lot from the people working with you at this time — but it’s nothing they don’t expect. You can keep the pressure on. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You may have recently been reconsidering your current path — but today’s events are likely to demonstrate just how right it is for you. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — A celebration will certainly be in order toward day’s end if you are able to pull off the upset that you currently have in the works. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You’re eager to get back in touch with someone who played a very important role in your affairs some time ago. He or she is waiting, surely. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Now is no time to do what you are prohibiting others from doing. No such hypocrisy is to be tolerated today. You must play by the rules. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — The best way to get attention today is to do what comes naturally. Your ease and relaxation will be the envy of all those around you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — What you do on the job today is likely to teach others a thing or two about efficiency, creativity and timing. You can accomplish a great deal.
