CATSKILL — Greene County lawmakers are discouraging visitors to the rural county during the global health crisis due to limited resources.

In a message to visitors, weekenders and second homeowners on Friday, lawmakers urged these individuals not to seek refuge in Greene County and not to expect to find resources in Greene County that are not available in their home communities.

Sullivan and Delaware counties issued similar statements to their communities.

“Travel into Greene County from any area at this time is inadvisable and is highly discouraged,” according to the statement. “Should large numbers of individuals move up to Greene County while COVID-19 community transmission is occurring, it will quickly overwhelm the health care, public health, public safety and government.

Help may not be available to you if you become in need of

medical attention.”

In addition to medical supplies and personnel, groceries are also in short supply, according to the release.

“Please don’t have an expectation that resources will be available to you here that are not available to you in your home town,” according to the release. “Greene County has a limited number of health care resources and testing capacity is also very limited.”

Governor Andrew Cuomo holds a press briefing Monday to announce he will ask retired health care workers to bolster staff at hospitals around the state to cope with an anticipated surge in coronavirus patients.

ALBANY — As the Twin Counties see ballooning numbers of positive COVID-19 cases, Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued a plea to retired health care workers to join the fight against COVID-19.

Cuomo also discussed plans to restart the economy,

experimental drug trials and the looming state budget deadline during a press conference Monday morning at the Capital.

The governor is taking steps to boost the number of health care workers available to treat COVID-19 patients. On March 20, he sent letters to all registered health workers in the state asking them to volunteer in an

emergency medical corps.

Cuomo announced Monday that over 30,000 people have already responded. Local health care workers have answered the call.

“I received an email asking me to submit paperwork and a questionnaire,” said Catskill Elementary School Nurse Diane Ashley. The questionnaire

asked respondents to reply within 36 hours with their work history, specialty and availability, Ashley said.

Ashley said she hadn’t heard back yet and was unsure if she would be called to work downstate at the field hospitals being constructed in Westchester, Long Island and Manhattan.

She expressed concern over

“You hear about all these mask shortages, N95 shortages.

I don’t know what I’m walking into. I don’t know if I would feel comfortable,” she said.

The governor said he would issue an executive order calling all nurses who are registered to enlist. The state Department of

HUDSON — Columbia and Greene county schools are stepping up to provide meals to students and gather child care resources for essential workers amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s March 16 executive order in part directed all schools in the state to “develop a plan for alternative instructional options, distribution and availability of meals, and child care, with an emphasis on serving children of parents in the health care profession or first responders who are critical to the response effort.”

The Hudson City School District expanded meal pick-up starting Monday to locations in Hudson and Stottville.

The locations are Montgomery C. Smith Elementary School, 102 Harry Howard Ave.; Hudson Junior and Senior High School, 215 Harry Howard Ave.; the parking lot across the street from Providence Hall, 119 Columbia St.; the former John L. Edwards Primary School, 306 State St.; Oakdale, 53-99 N. 6th St.; Questar III Educational Center, 131 Union Turnpike; Hudson Youth Center, 16 S.

The meals are available for pickup Monday through Friday between 11 a.m.

and 1 p.m. They are available to all children 18 and younger, free of charge. This includes children who attend a child care center within the district that participates in Head Start.

Eighteen staff members are preparing 500 breakfasts and 500 lunches at each school building starting Monday, Food Service Director Christopher Bateman said. They have ordered enough food to prepare up to 1,500 of each type as demand continues to rise.

“It is essential in these uncertain times that HCSD continues to be there to serve our families in any way we can,” Bateman said. “Many of our families have come to depend on us providing meals to their children while schools are open, now more than ever, with the possibility of prolonged closure, HCSD can and will make every effort to continue to provide sustenance to our students.”

Those who pick up at the elementary school are asked to use the driveway in the back of the building where buses drop off students and look for a school representative. At the high school, See SCHOOLS A2

Department of Health Director Jack Mabb understands both sides of the argument, he said.

“If I had a second home up here, I’d come up,” Mabb said.

“I also understand the sentiment of local people thinking they should stay down there.

The great reality is they own a home up here. There really isn’t anything anyone can do about it anyway. They live here.”

Columbia County Board of Supervisors Chairman Matt Murell said that people traveling during this time is concerning.

“It is a concern,” he said. “[Cuomo] urged people to stay home as well and not travel upstate. It could potentially tax our medical system. You just hope people use common sense and stay home.”

Schools From A1

parents and guardians may use the driveway in the front of the building where buses drop off and pick up students.

At all other locations, parents and guardians should look for a yellow school bus. Adults and children alike should remain in their vehicles to pick up the grab-and-go style meals, which consist of lunch and the next day’s breakfast. Those without vehicles can walk up to pick up food, but should practice social distancing, leaving at least six feet between themselves and others.

The Hudson Bluehawk Nation Afterschool Program is providing child care for schoolaged children of essential workers at the elementary school Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the district is placing younger children with existing licensed day care providers.

More information on the meal program and childcare can be found at hudsoncsd.org.

Chatham Central School District families can call the district’s food service director at 518-392-1536, said District Superintendent Sal DeAngelo.

Germantown Central School District families can drive through to pick up grab-andgo meals at the bus loop at the Route 9G entrance from 10 a.m. to noon on Tuesdays and Fridays. Friday’s pick-up will include breakfast and lunch for Monday and Tuesday, and Tuesday’s will include meals for Wednesday through Friday.

Ichabod Crane Central School District is providing daily free bagged breakfast and lunch to children under the age of 18 at Ichabod Crane High School Cafeteria from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., First Presbyterian

on going to zero essential workers,” he said.

The governor acknowledged that his policies have damaged the economy and said his team would begin planning for an economic restart.

“I am proud of measures I have taken to address this public health crisis, but it is unsustainable to run this state or this country with the economy closed down,” he said. “You have to get the economy up and running. That has to be planned at same time.”

Bill Mulrow and Steven Cohen, two of Cuomo’s longtime aides, will assess how best to jump-start the economy after the financial slowdown, the governor said.

“We have to plan the pivot back to economic functionality.

You can’t stop the economy forever,” he said.

Healthy people and those who had the virus and resolved it may be allowed to return to work sooner, Cuomo said, citing the work of Dr. David Katz, a member of the Yale Prevention Research Center who studies risk stratification.

“Should we allow the healthy to work? Should young people be allowed to work sooner? The survival rate for those infected is like 98%. How do we start to calculate that in?” Cuomo said.

The state Department of Health has received approval to begin drug testing starting on Tuesday, the governor said. The drugs hydroxychloroquine and zithromax will be made available to a select number of vulnerable individuals.

“The FDA gave the state Department of Health approval to use them on a compassionate care basis, a drug that we

believe has real possibility,” he said.

Serological testing will also begin to determine if patients could be treated with antibodies from recovered patients.

“It’s only a trial, but we think it shows promise,” he said.

The governor addressed the time line for passing the state budget, calling for legislators to continue doing their jobs during the shutdown.

“There are many policy initiatives that I laid out in January, and we are going to pursue all of them,” he said.

“If there is a policy that would require detailed policy negotiation, that we will not do. If it is a highly complex issue, I get it.

Let’s put it off because we don’t want to do something sloppy.”

Cuomo said he wants bail reform and the legalization of marijuana in the budget.

As of Sunday afternoon, Greene County had five confirmed cases of COVID-19, located in Windham and Hunter, and 14 individuals are self-monitoring for possible exposure, according to an update from the Greene County Economic Development Corporation.

None of the five confirmed cases have required hospitalization and all are recovering at home.

Greene County Legislature Chairman Patrick Linger, RNew Baltimore, was unsure how many of the five cases were full-time residents and how many were second homeowners, stating that the individuals would be quarantined in the same manner regardless.

When Greene County was at four cases on Friday, lawmakers said the cases were not local.

“Greene County has four confirmed cases, none of which originated from within the county,” according to a

statement released by the Legislature on Friday.

Columbia County has 18 confirmed cases, Mabb said.

Two-hundred-twenty-three Columbia County residents have been tested, 59 are under mandatory quarantine and 80 are under precautionary quarantine, according to the website.

Mabb estimated that three to four of the cases are residents of New York City, he said.

“Some have been here the whole time and still have it,” he said. “You can’t point to people from New York and say they’re the ones who brought it here. It was coming.”

All communities have the potential to contract the “successful little bug,” Mabb said, but metropolitan populations have greater population densities.

“When the city of New York is fully awake and walking down one of the streets in Manhattan there is no way to socially distance ourselves,” he said. “I get

it. I get why they want to escape because they can.”

As more individuals are tested, it shows how prevalent the virus is.

“Testing has confirmed what we have known all along,” Mabb said. “In every community the potential is there.”

Area hospitals including Columbia Memorial Health, Albany Medical Center, Ellis Hospital and St. Peter’s Hospital announced last week that they would no longer offer testing to the general public.

Columbia Memorial Health’s testing will be limited to hospitalized patients and doctors and nurses who may have been exposed.

Greenville Central School District is providing pick up times from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. on March 23, 25 and 30. On March 23, four meals, two breakfasts and two lunches will be available for pickup. On March 25, six meals will be available, and on March 30, four meals will be available. The pick-up locations are First Baptist Church in Westerlo, Rensselaerville Fire House, Medway Congregational Christian Church, and Greenville Central School District Middle School-High School.

Hunter-Tannersville Central School District families can pick up from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. Monday and Wednesday. Tuesday’s meal is also picked up Monday, and the rest of the meals on Wednesday at the Haines Falls Fire Department, Tannersville Fire Department, Hunter Fire Department or Lexington Fire Department. Parents and guardians can email freefood@ htcschools.org for information.

Windham-Ashland-Jewett Central School District is partnering with the Windham Community Food Pantry at Hope Restoration Church to distribute to students on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to noon. The district also provided a list of area food pantries on its website, wajcs.org, for families in need of further assistance.

The Capital District YMCA will be providing child care for emergency personnel at 16 locations, including the Greene County YMCA at 35 Route 81 at Hope Plaza in West Coxsackie.

Child care starts at $240 per week and financial assistance is available.

As defined by the state Education Department, emergency health care professionals include licensed health

professionals such as physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered nurses, LPNs, nurse assistants or laboratory personnel and direct support professionals.

The YMCA is also including first responders such as paramedics, emergency medical technicians, police officers and firefighters.

“We want to make sure medical professionals in our community don’t have to worry that their children are in a safe place, as they care for a growing number of our loved ones during this difficult time,” said Capital District YMCA President David Brown.

All Columbia and Greene County school districts are providing meals to students with varying restrictions and processes. Many districts request sign-ups of some sort so food can be prepared accordingly.

Families should check their student’s school district’s website for more information.

HUDSON — Following a trend seen around the country, Cooper’s Daughter Distillery and Cooperage at Olde York Farm, 284 State Route 23, has switched its production from micro-batch spirits to hand sanitizer.

The family-operated distillery is making sanitizer following World Health Organization guidelines to donate to hospitals and first responders.

The distillery has produced 50 gallons of sanitizer to date.

They also plan on donating to senior care facilities, restaurants and delivery drivers, and farmers markets if supply holds up.

Newsome said it was not hard to make the switch, since they already make alcohol.

The hard part was finding the other ingredients, hydrogen peroxide and glycerin, as well as bottles and lids.

“Everything is in such high demand right now that anything you can find on the internet, there’s like 16 ounces at a time and its being completely price gouged as well,” said co-owner, flavor developer and operations manager Sophie Newsome.

Local businesses pitched in to get the project rolling. Next Gen Signs donated the labels for the sanitizer, Subversive Brewing provided enough glycerin and hydrogen peroxide for the first batch, and Pretium Packaging donated 5,000 plastic bottles.

One recipient of the sanitizer was the City of Hudson Fire Department, whose business has not slowed down.

“Donations geared to protect our personnel means a lot to each and every member,” Hudson Fire Commissioner Timothy Hutchings said. “It

really goes a long way to lift their spirits when people show they truly care about their well-being.”

The Hudson Fire Department has about 85 active professional volunteer firefighters. As a precaution, the department has limited access to the fire stations to active members responding to a call for service, maintaining equipment or completing other related work as needed.

“All emergency services personnel are at a tremendous risk,” Hutchings said. “Members are not only having direct exposure to people who may be a carrier or are infected, but also the living and work environments of those who request our services. We cannot predict who is going to call or from where and for what type of emergency. This is why we have worked to ensure our members remain protected on the scene, at the stations, and more importantly, when they return home to their families after a call for service.”

Fire Chief Tony DeMarco has adopted policies to help firefighters stay safe on emergency calls.

“We’re all in this together and we’ve got to do what we’ve got to do to keep everybody safe and protected,” DeMarco said.

The department Saturday put out a list of questions members will be asking when they arrive on the scene of an emergency, including: Has anyone present traveled outside the country in the past two weeks or recently traveled to and from New York City, Westchester or Rockland counties? Has a fever 100.4 degrees or greater with cough and shortness of breath, or is under any sort of quarantine status?

“The answers to these question in no way changes our commitment to you,” the department said. “They allow us to take the necessary safety precautions to ensure the safety and well-being of our members. We are committed to serving our community whenever we are called upon.”

Aside from answering the questions honestly, DeMarco said the best thing the public can do is be patient since less firefighters and officers will be entering residences to limit potential exposure.

“That’s the kind of thing that makes us get through stuff like this that much easier, when everybody comes together and does their part,” DeMarco said of the sanitizer donation.

Newsome said her mother, co-owner Louise Newsome, is on the state Distillers Guild, and the organization shared information about the process and recipes.

“This is a very, very hard time for all small businesses, especially ones that rely on being face-to-face with customers,” Newsome said. “There’s been this huge rally among distilleries in New York and, honestly, throughout America of ‘how are we going to survive this, and how are we going to make this better?’”

The distillery has also taken sanitizer to fire departments in Claverack, Cairo, Germantown, Copake, Greenport, Greenville and Stuyvesant.

They also made donations to the Hudson Police Department, Columbia County EMT, Subversive Brewing and others. The list will continue to grow depending on supplies, Newsome said.

Joann Fabrics, at 160 Fairview Ave. in Greenport, has provided online tutorials at

“The amazing thing about the crafting community is that, especially in difficult times, they are always looking for ways to help,” said Wade Miquelon, president and CEO of Joann Fabrics. “We are seeing hospital workers, organizations and individuals coming into our stores for supplies to make these essential items, and our customers are asking us how they can help. So many

are spending their time and money to help in this tragic situation, and we want to step in to do our part to protect the amazing people who are helping the communities we serve.”

Cooper’s Daughter is asking for donations at oldeyorkfarm. com to purchase supplies and cover the overhead of producing the alcohol, as well as sharing a portion with its full-time employees who are unable to return to work until the health crisis has subsided.

OUR VIEW

Surreal days in New York state If these were normal times, we would be talking about spring break, backto-school, maybe even graduation and the religious holidays Easter and Passover in early April.

But these are not normal times. The coronavirus continues to spread through New York state.

The spring breakers stayed close to home, either because of travel restrictions, in quarantine or under the “stay at home” state mandate.

Schools are closed for an indefinite period. Masses are either canceled or are live streaming services as the pandemic makes large assemblies untenable.

Local governments are doing their best to keep essential services going. Last Friday, Greene County officials issued an unprecedented “keepout” warning for noncounty residents to stay away to protect the safety and health of county residents. A man self-quarantining at his second home in Columbia County is reported to have died over the weekend. But he did not contract the virus in Columbia County, according to the report. With many students dependent on schools to provide what may be their only meals of the day, schools are planning to expand

food delivery to students at home.

On what might be called the lighter side of the news, distilleries across the country, including at least one in Columbia County, are producing hand sanitizer. Who would have thought?

If you’re looking for a silver lining, Gov. Andrew Cuomo talked for the first time today about a plan to restart the state’s economy, saying the status quo is not sustainable. But, the governor added, such a program is probably months away. Hopefully, it will be sooner rather than later.

ANOTHER VIEW

What is this coronavirus? (c) 2020, The Washington Post

What do we know about the new coronavirus?

Thanks to a remarkable outpouring of shared research, its characteristics are coming more clearly into view every day. A spiky, round or elliptical juggernaut, measuring from 60 to 140 billionths of a meter across, has turned the world upside down in just a few weeks.

What is it?

The virus belongs to the family Coronaviridae, which are RNA viruses with relatively large genomes. The SARS-Cov-2 virus has 29,891 nucleotides. That’s twice as large as an influenza virus genome. What’s more, the coronavirus family undergoes relatively rapid genetic “recombination” in nature, including mutations that enable the virus to adapt to new hosts and environmental niches.

In this case, the genetic blueprint probably came initially from nature, perhaps from bats.

A cousin of this virus is SARS-Cov-1, which caused an epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome in 2002 and 2003 that began in China and ended with 774 deaths in 17 countries.

The genetic material in the current virus is an 82% match for the earlier SARS virus. Another type of coronavirus found in bats is an 89% match for the current virus. Not every mutation changes behavior, but even a minuscule change in the genetic makeup may have given the current virus the characteristics that allowed it to survive, thrive and unleash the current pandemic.

The virus is an opportunistic parasite with a singular mission: dock on the surface of a cell using its exterior spikes, then penetrate and hijack the cell to replicate, creating millions more copies of the virus with its genetic code. In the coronavirus family, some strains cause only minor illness such as common colds and, in others, disease more serious than covid-19.

Two related viruses, the one causing SARS and the one causing Middle East respiratory syndrome, or MERS, are more lethal, but the current virus is more transmissible, lodging in the upper respiratory tract, the nose and throat, where it is easily expelled by a cough. Another characteristic ac-

celerating transmission is that an infected person can be contagious several days before any symptoms show up. A cough or sneeze expels virus particles in aerosol droplets, which can remain in the air for hours. Also, there’s evidence of survival on plastic and stainless steel for up to 72 hours. The current virus leads to acute respiratory distress in some people, filling lungs with fluid, constricting their ability to breathe, especially those who are already suffering another malady.

The virus is not invincible. It is sensitive to ultraviolet rays and heat, and hand-washing works.

Biomedical researchers are racing to discover therapies to stop it from infecting people, perhaps with an antiviral drug that would disable those exterior spikes, or a vaccine that would instruct the human immune system to attack it. Hopefully, we can bend the curve slightly in favor of people and stop the pandemic. But even if science triumphs this time, genetic recombination and mutation will go on.

A pallid version of normalcy WASHINGTON — “All changed, changed utterly,” Yeats wrote, and though his poem was about a distant fight in another century, his words echo today, as a chastened world confronts the coronavirus.

The poet’s stark phrase has resonated before, yet this event, still unspooling, seems more momentous, more cataclysmic. We have endured episodes that pierced our sense of national well-being: in my lifetime, the Kennedy and King assassinations; the 9/11 terrorist attacks; the near collapse of the economy in 2008. We have suffered, or witnessed the suffering, from regional disasters, hurricanes, fires and the dislocations that followed.

Each, in its own way, exposed the shaky scaffolding of our comfortable assumptions. No one and no thing are truly safe — not our economy, not our political leaders, not ourselves. The architecture of disaster response was inadequate to the terrible task at hand. The government failed the people it was supposed to serve.

Still, of all these tragedies, the covid-19 pandemic feels the most life-altering — in the short term, certainly, as we social-distance and shelter in place, but also in the world to come. Perhaps this is overstated, overwrought even. The numbers infected and dead might prove fewer than predicted; the duration of dislocation shorter; the cascading economic turmoil less severe. Let us hope so.

Let us pray so.

And let us remember: Americans have a remarkable capacity for conveniently obliterating the unpleasant, and there is a positive aspect to this instinct. We forget and trudge on. That happened in the aftermath of the 1918 pandemic, and no doubt will happen again.

Nonetheless, there is no arguing with Yeats. We are changed — and not entirely for the worse. How much the virus has reminded us of the mundane pleasures we take for granted — walking down the well-stocked shelves of our local supermarkets,

WASHINGTON POST

RUTH

MARCUS chatting idly with our coworkers; kissing a friend on the cheek when we meet for lunch. Oh, to hug again without having to calculate the inherent risk: My mother? My daughters?

When I venture out to walk the dog, there is a grim camaraderie with those we encounter. The dogs, heedless of contagion, sniff away, and while their humans maintain a sober distance, even strangers inquire after one another’s well-being. In the barren aisles of the market, at least the last time I risked a visit, there was an air more of solidarity than panic. Perhaps someday things will get uglier, and we will be scrabbling over the lone, scrawny cabbage left on the shelves, but for now it felt as though there was more eye contact among the strangers in the aisles, a slight shrug of the shoulder, as if to say, “This, too, shall pass.”

And as we adjust to our cramped new reality, how grateful we should be for the technological revolution that enables us to retain some semblance of connectedness, to Zoom and WebEx our way to a pallid version of normalcy. Just a few decades ago, maybe less, there was no way we could have produced a newspaper almost entirely from our homes; today, the work goes on, just clunkier and less fun. We FaceTime friends and stream endless content on demand. Next Sunday, assuming we can master the technology, members of my book group will gather remotely for the first time in 30-plus years.

But this is too terrible for too many. Those who are infected, and the health care workers who courageously

care for them. Those who do not enjoy the flexibility of being able to telecommute.

Those without the financial reserves to get through this stretch. Those who lose jobs they need and businesses they built. Those who do not cannot indulge the luxury of feeling bored and frustrated, for whom the pandemic is far worse than a canceled college graduation. The rest of us should feel grateful, and dig deep to help. Our dislocations are trivial by comparison.

“Bottom line, it’s going to get worse,” the sage Anthony S. Fauci has advised, and that raises the scariest set of questions: How much worse? How deep the damage? How will we — the United States and the world — recover from this shock that should not have been a shock?

No one who has watched our politics and politicians in recent years can have much faith in their capacity to rise to this occasion, even leaving aside the evident inadequacy of our current president. But the governors — Republicans Larry Hogan of Maryland and Mike DeWine of Ohio, Democrats Andrew M. Cuomo of New York and Gavin Newsom of California — are filling the void, as the Constitution envisions.

More important are the people themselves — ourselves. We need to get off the damn beaches and out of the bars, and make sure our children comply, at the very least.

But we can do more, and we have. In the midst of World War II, in the aftermath of 9/11, we pulled together, not apart; we sacrificed for the greater good.

“A terrible beauty is born,” Yeats wrote in his haunting refrain, about Ireland’s 1916 Easter Rising. And that might be the most we can hope for out of this ordeal, some moments of beauty amid the terror, amid the utter change.

The Rev. Dr. Federico Serra-Lima The Rev. Dr. Federico SerraLima July 17, 1929 - March 22, 2020 Federico was born in Argentina to Federico and Elena (Dixon) Serra-Lima. Though he emigrated to the United States to attend Columbia University, Federico returned to Buenos Aires many times to visit family and friends.

It pleased him still to see SerraLima name plate on elegant town car taxis, his father having had the first Ford dealership in Argentina. Federico earned his undergraduate degree in French, his PhD in Spanish and initially taught at Barnard. In the late 1960’s, Federico was recruited

by Hartwick College in Oneonta to teach Spanish language and literature, eventually chairing the Department of Modern and Clas-

sical Languages. In 1980 Federico returned to NYC spending a year at the General Seminary of the Episcopal Church and in 1984 was ordained Priest in the Albany Diocese by his Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Wilbur Hogg. For years Dr. Federico taught at Hartwick while Fr. Federico ministered to the congregation of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Franklin, NY. After retiring from college teaching, Federico continued to pastor several small parishes (Chatham, Cohoes, Ashland) around the Albany Diocese, serving also on the diocesan Commission of Ministry. Federico earned a Phi Beta key, and always eager to learn, took courses at St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Seminary in Yonkers, also engaging in profound

discussions with a new Buddhist friend Monk Krishna. Federico cherished his memberships in the Holy Cross Society and the Order of St. Luke the Physician.

Federico’s greatest satisfaction came in teaching and preaching, source materials coming both from his voluminous library as well as the internet. He loved chess, poetry, and writing (for several years publishing his own theological newsletter The Wood Bridge). He was fond of crafting letters to the editor in The Living Church and other magazines, each word, each phrase labored over for the perfect ‘bon mot’.

Federico’s conversation too was that of a wordsmith, laced liberally with puns and other witticisms. Federico came full circle,

spending his latter years back in Oneonta, first as a resident of Hampshire House, the last several months living at home on East Street enjoying his windows on the world of squirrels and deer.

Federico is survived by wife Margaret Serra-Lima, daughter Denise (Jose Luis) Gonzalez, granddaughters Eileen and Joyce, son Jack Paul (Mary), god-daughter Graciela Victorica and her family. Fr. Serra-Lima’s cremains will be interred within the columbarium, Cathedral of All Saints, Albany, NY at a later date. Memorials may be sent to Doctors Without Borders, an organization for which Federico had passionate concern. For on-line condolences visit wenkfuneralhome.com

Dr. Anthony Fauci suggests growing coronavirus rift with Trump as White House signals discomfort with his independence

By Dave Goldiner

shutdown measures are not enforced for much longer.

New York Daily News (TNS)

Dr. Anthony Fauci is losing patience with President Donald Trump — and the feeling may be mutual.

The nation’s top pandemic doctor expressed growing frustration with Trump’s handling of the crisis, which has included equal doses of false claims and unfounded rosy predictions.

“I can’t jump in front of the microphone and push him down,” Fauci told Science Magazine on Sunday.

Trump is also unhappy that Fauci has grabbed the spotlight from him and appears to be much more trusted by the public, the New York Times reported Monday, citing two Trump insiders.

Although Fauci has refrained from directly calling out Trump in person for lies, he chided Trump for giving incorrect and at times damaging information about the pandemic.

In just a few days, Trump has made false claims to the nation about everything from a Google website to coordinate coronavirus testing to the possibility of an imminent vaccine and his “hunch” that an antimalaria drug could turn out to

be a “miracle” treatment for the fast-spreading disease.

“It could lead to some misunderstanding about what the facts are about a given subject,” Fauci told the magazine.

That dynamic is apparently beginning to wear thin on Trump, who has a history of not tolerating any independent opinions or public

disagreements.

Trump on Monday pressed unfounded claims that the pandemic might ease within his self-declared “15 days to stop the spread” campaign, which expires in days.

But Fauci and other public health experts say coronavirus will keep spreading and will kill far more Americans if strict

IMF sees a recession at least as bad as global financial crisis

By Eric Martin Bloomberg News (TNS)

The International Monetary Fund said it expects a global recession this year that will be at least as bad as the downturn during the financial crisis more than a decade ago, followed by a recovery in 2021.

Nearly 80 countries have asked the Washington-based IMF for emergency finance, Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said in a statement Monday following a conference call of Group of 20 finance ministers and central bankers. Georgieva said the fund strongly supports extraordinary fiscal actions already taken by many countries and welcomes the moves of major central banks to ease monetary policy.

“These bold efforts are not only in the interest of each

country, but of the global economy as a whole,” she said in the statement. “Even more will be needed, especially on the fiscal front.”

The statement followed the G-20 officials convening an emergency call on Monday to discuss the global economic fallout from the pandemic and work toward a joint response.

Also Monday the Federal Reserve unveiled a sweeping series of measures including for households and employers that push it deeper into uncharted territory.

The IMF said it’s working closely with other international financial institutions to provide a strong coordinated response, and reiterated that it’s ready to deploy all of its $1 trillion lending capacity.

To have a rebound next year, “it is paramount to

prioritize containment and strengthen health systems — everywhere,” Georgieva said.

“The economic impact is and will be severe, but the faster the virus stops, the quicker and stronger the recovery will be.”

The IMF noted that major central banks that have initiated bilateral swap lines with emerging economies may need to provide more.

NYSEG and RG&E take steps to assist customers during coronavirus response BINGHAMTON — NYSEG and RG&E, AVANGRID companies, have announced they are taking several measures to protect customers and employees as the coronavirus situation evolves.

The companies, which previously announced they would temporarily suspend service shut-offs due to nonpayment, also announced they will take the following actions to protect both customers and employees. Those actions include: Effective immediately both NYSEG and RG&E are suspending all inside meter readings and shifting to estimated usage or customer reported readings. Customers are encouraged to submit meter readings through the companies’ mobile app.

NYSEG and RG&E walk-in centers are closed indefinitely as of March 17. Customers can continue to communicate with the companies via their website, mobile app or by calling the customer service contact number listed on their bill. Customers can also make a payment at one of several authorized pay agents, including Wal-Mart or K-Mart. A list of authorized agents may be found at nyseg.com > account > ways to pay > pay in person.

NYSEG and RG&E are suspending late-payment charges.

NYSEG and RG&E join the rest of the AVANGRID organization in taking steps to protect employees and customers while ensuring continuity of essential electric and gas

service during the coronavirus pandemic.

“During this pandemic, ensuring the health and safety of our employees is paramount to our ability to continue to safely deliver reliable electric and gas service to our customers across our operating companies,” said Carl A. Taylor, president and CEO of NYSEG and RG&E. Additional steps the companies have taken include: Preventing infection among employees and customers.

Restricting non-employee visitors to all sites.

Restricting all travel unless critical to maintaining operations.

Instructing employees who are equipped to work from home, and whose role allows it, to do so until further notice.

For those employees who cannot work from home, the company is taking measures to enable social distancing, which includes: Establishing staggered shifts and cross-training of employees to prevent staff shortages in critical areas, including customer service.

Isolating energy control center and energy trading staff and limiting their contact with other employees in the workplace.

Having field personnel assemble in small teams or as single workers to minimize physical interactions.

Establishing a call screening process in customer service to defer nonessential work and limit potential exposure for employees and customers.

Providing guidelines for field personnel around how they can protect themselves and customers when they must enter a residence.

Whenever possible, creating a work environment where employees can keep a safe distance from one another.

Working with regulators as appropriate to limit noncritical work.

Supporting emergency services and hospitals.

Outreach and coordination with local, state and federal emergency response officials.

Outreach to major hospitals to help ensure uninterrupted service.

Inspection and conducting preventative maintenance on key circuits that serve emergency services and hospitals.

Thinking of timing the market? Think again Volatility is back.

The sustained rally that produced 30%+ gains in the S&P 500 in 2019 and continued into 2020 came to an abrupt halt in late February, when fears of the new coronavirus epidemic and its effects on the economy swept Wall Street and beyond. Markets across the globe plummeted, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped over 1,000 points in one day. More drops followed, and volatility has ensued as investors try to grapple with the spreading pandemic and its potential impact on trade, travel, and the global economy.

THE FUTILITY OF MARKET TIMING The situation presents a tempting scenario for wouldbe market timers — those who try to predict when stock

ARMSTRONG prices will rise and fall. Should you sell before it gets worse?

Should you buy while prices are down? What about parking your money in bonds until the epidemic runs its course?

While timing your purchases and sales to capitalize on the market’s ups and downs may seem to make sense in theory, it’s extremely difficult to pull off successfully. Typically, you

can’t accurately pinpoint a market high or low point until after it has occurred. If you move your money out of stocks during a low period, you might not move your money back in time. By the time you realize stocks are on an upswing, it may be too late to take advantage of gains.

In fact, history has shown that trying to time the market’s ups and down is a loser’s game.

Even the experts, with their analytical prowess and sophisticated computer models, cannot manage to consistently beat the market. A landmark study by CXO Advisory Group tracked more than 4,500 forecasts by 28 self-described market timers between 2000 and 2012. Only 10 were able to accurately forecast equity returns (as measured by the S&P

ABA Free Legal Answers reaches milestone with 100,000 inquiries since launch four years ago CHICAGO — The American Bar Association web program ABA Free Legal Answers, which gives income-eligible users the ability to pose civil legal questions to volunteer attorneys, surpassed 100,000 inquiries earlier this month.

In less than four years, 41 states and more than 7,000 attorneys nationally have committed to participating in Free Legal Answers, which serves as a virtual legal advice clinic.

Of those, 87 attorneys in 2019 handled at least 50 civil legal questions each and are recognized as 2019 Pro Bono Leaders.

“The milestone of reaching 100,000 questions for ABA Free Legal Answers underscores the need for expanding free and affordable civil legal services,” ABA President Judy Perry Martinez said. “The ABA is pleased to know people are using this free service and proud of our thousands of volunteer lawyers nationwide who are helping to meet their important legal needs.”

Geared to expand legal services for low-income communities, users of the service must meet income-eligibility

guidelines applicable to each state. While expanding access to legal services, ABA Free Legal Answers also expands pro bono opportunities for attorneys in a convenient way to match their schedules.

Legal guidance is limited to non-criminal matters and takes place entirely online.

More than four out of 10 questions relate to family and children legal matters (42%). Next in the volume of questions, 14% of the inquiries stem from housing and homelessness while consumer/finance questions amount to 11%.

Residents of Texas, Florida, Indiana, Tennessee and South Carolina have generated the most questions, with the highest number of participating attorneys coming from Florida, Tennessee, Texas, Illinois and Virginia.

“So many times, we find that limited scope advice can make all the difference in someone’s life,” said George T. “Buck” Lewis, founder of ABA Free Legal Answers and a shareholder at Baker Donelson in Memphis, Tenn. “For those who cannot afford an attorney and have nowhere else

to turn, Free Legal Answers often serves as a critical resource for qualified legal advice.”

The national program began through consolidating onthe-web existing programs in some states. It then expanded by helping other states establish their own programs.

Nationally, attorneys can volunteer their services by navigating to www.ABAFreeLegalAnswers.org and selecting “Volunteer Attorney Registration.” ABA Free Legal Answers is a project of the ABA Standing Committee on Pro Bono and Public Service.

The ABA is the largest voluntary association of lawyers in the world. As the national voice of the legal profession, the ABA works to improve the administration of justice, promotes programs that assist lawyers and judges in their work, accredits law schools, provides continuing legal education, and works to build public understanding around the world of the importance of the rule of law.

500) over 50% of the time, and none were able to predict accurately enough to outperform the market.1 Nobel Laureate William Sharpe calculated a market timer would have to be correct 74% of the time -- on both the market decline and recovery - to outperform another investor who just lets their money sit in a passive portfolio of comparable risk.1 Dealing with crises such as the coronavirus pandemic requires patience and a level head. Here are some suggestions to help you weather the storm: Don’t panic. Selling into a plunging market is often a sure way to lock in a loss. Talk with a financial advisor before you act. He or she can help you separate emotionally driven decisions from those based on

your goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance. Researchers in the field of behavioral finance have found that emotions often lead investors to read too much into recent events even though those events may not reflect long-term realities.

With the aid of a financial professional, you can sort through these distinctions, and you’ll likely find that if your investment strategy made sense before the crisis, it will still make sense afterward.

Consider time in market instead. Clearly, time can be a better ally than timing. Instead of trying to time the market, you may be better off with a well-coordinated investment strategy based on your personal risk tolerance and time frame. While past performance is no guarantee of

future results, the stock market has always recovered from every downturn.

So, think twice before trying to time the market’s dips and corrections, and work with your financial advisor to ensure that the investments you select are in keeping with your goals.

Van Cott joins Whiteman Osterman & Hanna from the New York State Adirondack Park Agency. He also brings to his new role experience as an attorney for the state attorney general’s Environmental Protection Bureau and the state Department of Environmental Conservation. Van Cott’s government experience also includes having served as a regional director in Portland, Maine, for that state’s environmental agency.

Van Cott has more than 30 years of environmental and land-use law experience.

He also brings extensive local government experience to his new role, having been elected twice to serve as a trustee for the village of Saranac Lake, where he focused on downtown revitalization and led the community’s local development corporation.

Over the course of his career in government service, Van Cott excelled as a negotiator, a strategic problem solver and an advocate for efficient solutions to

regulatory issues. He appeared innumerable times before citizen boards and in administrative proceedings on permitting, enforcement, rulemaking and policy matters. He was successful in bringing diverse interests together to resolve controversial issues. From his experience as a regional director and manager, he learned to lead teams in the achievement of desired outcomes for the agencies he served.

For two terms as an elected official, Van Cott learned about local government from the inside. Former City of Plattsburgh Mayor and current Saranac Lake Mayor Clyde Rabideau said of him, “As a trustee, Paul brought his superior legal skills to bear to help the village in

much of its work,” he said.

“His knowledge and understanding of local government and perspective and skills as an attorney make him a formidable advocate and resource on local government issues.”

During his time on the village board, Van Cott helped draft a new comprehensive plan, a new zoning and subdivision code, and many local laws and intermunicipal and other agreements, along with successful grant applications including a $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative award to the village of Saranac Lake.

Van Cott received a Juris Doctor from Albany Law School. He is married with two children and resides in Saranac Lake.

Social Security offices only offering Bard College named a top telephone service producer of Fulbright students and scholars

WASHINGTON, D.C. - All local Social Security offices were closed to the public for in-person service starting March 17.

Secure and convenient online services remain available at www.socialsecurity.gov.

Local offices will also continue to provide critical services over the phone. The agency is working closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), state and local governments, and other experts to monitor COVID-19 and will let the community know as soon as possible when in-person service can resume.

If you need help from Social Security: n First, please use the

The agency also has a wealth of information to answer most Social Security questions online, without having to speak with a Social Security representative in person or by phone. Please visit the online Frequently Asked Questions at www.socialsecurity.gov/ask. n If you cannot conduct your Social Security business online, please check our online field office locator for specific information about how to directly contact your local office.

your questions, and provide other services over the phone. n If you already have an in-office appointment scheduled, the agency will call you to handle your appointment over the phone instead. If you have a hearing scheduled, they will call you to discuss alternatives for continuing with your hearing, including offering a telephonic hearing. The call may come from a PRIVATE number and not from a U.S. government phone.

ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON — Bard College is included on the list of U.S. colleges and universities that produced the most 20192020 Fulbright U.S. Students and Fulbright U.S. Scholars.

Each year the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs announces the top producing institutions for the Fulbright Program, the U.S. government’s flagship international educational exchange program. The Chronicle of Higher Education publishes the lists annually.

Two scholars and five students from Bard were awarded Fulbright awards for 2019-2020. Bard is among 20 institutions in the country to be named a Top Producer for both the Fulbright U.S. Student and Scholar programs.

“This is the second year in a row that Bard has been

a top producer of Fulbright U.S. Students, and the first year that we’ve been a top producer of Fulbright U.S. Scholars,” said David Shein, Bard associate vice president for academic affairs and dean of studies. “It is a testament to the strength of the ecosystems of engagement that constitute a Bard education. Inside the classroom and out, all who work and study at Bard are challenged to engage in rigorous self-reflection and critical discourse and empowered to be agents for change in the world. We are grateful to Fulbright for making these opportunities available to us.”

NYSPHSAA officially cancels 2020 winter state championships Columbia-Greene Media

LATHAM — The New York State Public High School Athletic Association announces the cancellation of the remaining winter state championship events. The impacted championship events include the boys and girls basketball regionals and state championships, as well as the ice hockey and bowling championships. Plans are being developed to honor and formally recognize the students and teams who qualified to participate in these championship events.

“It is with great disappointment that we make the decision to cancel the remaining winter championship events,” said Dr. Robert Zayas, NYSPHSAA Executive Director. “Our association’s focus is to benefit students through

participation in interscholastic athletics and unfortunately this rapidly developing situation has prevented our association from providing a quality championship experience.

“We certainly sympathize for the students who are being impacted by this crisis but at this time they deserve honesty from the leadership of our association.”

Factors that played a role in this decision include but are not limited to: the evolving COVID-19 public threat, CDC mass gathering recommendations, Governor Cuomo’s declaration of a state emergency, President Trump’s declaration of a national emergency, input from the 11 Sections and extended school closures.

“This is one of the most difficult

decisions the Officers of the NYSPHSAA have ever had to make,” said Paul Harrica, President of NYSPHSAA. “It has been determined it is not feasible for the Winter State Championships to be hosted in a safe and beneficial manner for the participating student-athletes and their teams in the near future.

“The health and safety of the students we serve will always be our top priority.”

With school districts closed for an extended period of time, Sections and schools are individually determining the Spring sport start dates and practice parameters that best meet the needs of the students they represent.

The status of the NYSPHSAA Spring State Championships will be determined on or prior to Monday, April 27.

No one knows exactly what 2020 baseball season will look like Peter Schmuck The Baltimore Sun

In an alternate biological universe, Orioles fans would be eagerly counting down to Opening Day, which was originally scheduled for later this week.

Instead, the start of the 2020 baseball season has been delayed at least until mid-May and there is no way of knowing when the coronavirus pandemic will recede enough for any of us to return to the normal rhythms of life.

The only thing certain is that when, or if, Major League Baseball is played this summer, the schedule will be packed into a much smaller time frame and the number of games will likely be significantly reduced.

Joe Douglas stayed true to his word in the first week of free agency by obsessing over improving the beleaguered offensive line. The Jets general manager signed five linemen in five days. Truth be told, he’d sign five more in the next five days if not for the TLC the rest of roster needs.

In the time of virus, is the NFL a harsher world, too?

Bob Ford The Philadelphia Inquirer

VINCENT CARCHIETTA/USA TODAY

A general view of Yankee Stadium, home of the 27-time World Chapion New York Yankees.

Joe Douglas revamped the Jets offensive line, but does that mean it’s better?

Jarrett Stidham (4) of the New England Patriots looks on next to Tom Brady (12) before the game against the Buffalo Bills on Dec. 21, 2019 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.

Douglas added a starting tackle, two starting guards and a center with the hope of better protecting Sam Darnold and opening holes for Le’Veon Bell this season.

It’s understandable for Jets fans to be excited about the flurry of transactions in the trenches, but before declaring the problem solved, consider this: New doesn’t necessarily

mean better.

Successful offensive line play is predicated on skill, smarts, and perhaps above all, a shared understanding to work as a cohesive unit.

Chemistry matters.

Can Douglas, Adam Gase or anyone else for that matter definitively proclaim that Gang Green’s 2020 offensive line will be markedly better than

last season simply because there are a handful of new faces on board? That’s obviously the hope. Gang Green faithful wishes that becomes a reality, but shouldn’t be blinded by it.

Tokyo Games may need to be postponed, Olympic officials say, but no decision yet Rick Maese The Washington Post

After weeks of insisting that the Tokyo Games would take place on schedule this summer, Olympic officials from one nation have pulled athletes from competition and others have revealed that they are considering a postponement, which could mark the first step in ultimately delaying the world’s largest sporting event because of the novel coronavirus.

Facing mounting pressure and growing criticism, Thomas Bach, the president of the International Olympic Committee, wrote a letter to Olympic athletes Sunday in which he said canceling the Summer Games altogether is not an option and vowed that a final decision on postponement would be made within the next four weeks.

“Together with all the stakeholders, we have started detailed discussions today to complete our assessment of the rapid development of the worldwide health situation and its impact on the Olympic Games, including a scenario of postponement,” Bach wrote.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told a parliamentary committee Monday morning that postponing the Tokyo

The opening of the NFL’s calendar year last week — also known as The Only Sports Story in the Entire World — brought a remarkable flood of trades, free agent signings, releases, and general upheaval to what is usually a pretty staid sport even in its busiest times.

When a week ends with Jarrett Stidham as the starting quarterback of the New England Patriots, you have to admit it’s been quite a show.

The question is whether the sheer amount of action that took place would have been the same under ordinary circumstances in our country, or whether everyone’s itching desire to do something in this time of doing nothing led players, agents, and general managers to be less inhibited about making major changes.

Around the league, quarterbacks were passed around like dinner mints, back in the day when you would actually accept an unsterilized dinner mint from a dish that had been touched by who knows how many other people, some of whom probably had Chinese takeout in the last six months.

The Carolina Panthers signed Teddy Bridgewater.

Philip Rivers went to the Colts after 16 years with the Chargers. Nick Foles, who was signed for four years by the Jaguars, but played just four games, was traded to the Bears and will be paid approximately five times the amount of incumbent starter Mitch Trubisky. (And what did it cost Chicago to get a former Super Bowl MVP? That would be a compensatory fourth-round draft pick; No. 140, to be precise).

Case Keenum went to Cleveland — fare thee well, Case — Marcus Mariota landed with the Raiders, the Broncos waived Joe Flacco, and on and on. The Titans resigned Ryan Tannehill, as did the Vikings with Kirk Cousins, and the Eagles with Nate Sudfeld, who secured the backup job when Josh McCown limped into a retirement more lasting than his previous one.

Then there was the small matter of Tom Brady, who decamped from New England after 20 seasons, apparently by choice, in favor of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who haven’t won a playoff game since Brady was 25.

As the smallest routines of

everyday life are tossed into the Bass-O-Matic, is there still the energy for outrage about the makeup of the Eagles defensive backfield?

In signing Brady, who was taken in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL draft, No. 199 overall, the Bucs showed the door to Jameis Winston, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2015 draft. The decisions to draft Winston then and sign Brady now might shed some light on why there has been that 17-year gap between Tampa Bay playoff wins, but underestimating Brady is perilous.

The man does turn 43 in August, however.

The least surprising fallout from the Brady signing — aside from the predictable moaning of annoying Patriots fans — was that Tampa Bay’s Pro Bowl wide receiver Chris Godwin said he would be willing to give up the uniform number 12 he has worn since high school. Good call, Chris.

In Philadelphia, the biggest move made by the Eagles was a deletion, not an addition. That was the decision to let Malcolm Jenkins walk into free agency after six seasons as the team’s strong safety/ locker room leader/moral compass.

The comparison was made in some circles to the franchise’s move after the 2008 season to continue without Brian Dawkins. While there were some parallels, the reaction was far more muted in the case of Jenkins.

Sure, Dawkins played 13 seasons with the Eagles, and he didn’t take political stances that would have caused some split among the fan base, but from a merely football standpoint, linking the two players is understandable. Jenkins, at 32, is four years younger than Dawkins when he wasn’t resigned.

Figuring out the public reaction might take us all the way back to the original question: As the smallest routines of everyday life are tossed into the Bass-O-Matic, is there still the energy for outrage about the makeup of the Eagles defensive backfield?

Jenkins wanted a new contract — and got one with the New Orleans Saints, his previous team, for an amount of money that wasn’t overwhelming — but the Eagles are budgeting their resources for other things apparently.

For those calculations, in which fan reaction is See NFL B3

Sports are about connection and NASCAR delivered that with its virtual race Alex Andrejev The Charlotte Observer

Sunday’s virtual NASCAR race at Homestead-Miami Speedway wasn’t about the racing. (That part was pretty much a wreck-fest.)

The iRacing event was about the fact that Mike Joy’s voice described the weather conditions and turnout before the race, even if both were simulated and Joy sat six feet away from his FOX NASCAR co-host Jeff Gordon. It was about the fact that the national anthem was sung, even if it was broadcast from a garage.

And it was about the fact that Cup drivers were on the track, even if they sat in their home offices behind simulator rigs.

In short, the virtual race was about bringing some semblance CHRIS GRAYTHEN/GETTY IMAGES of normalcy to a world that feels far from that in the wake of a In a computer generated, in-game image, Denny Hamlin, driver of the #11 FedEx Toyota, races Timmy Hill, driver of the No. 66 Toyota, during the eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series Dixie Vodka 150 global pandemic.

Hamlin took the top line in tweet with a laughing-crying “Dang, just didn’t prepare for their televisions or log onto their

“Had fun though! What a finish to watch.”

He later tweeted at NASCAR that he hopes the virtual races continue. Hamlin said he believes Sunday’s event could help bring iRacing more mainstream.

“This is something that really can gain a lot of traction simply because it’s as real as it gets,” Hamlin said during a post-race phone conference. “I’m excited that this was just a first step and hopefully something that builds for years and years to come.”

While many fans, drivers and media members saw the event as a lighthearted escape, time could make the virtual races a more serious competitive event.

“I think if you give everybody a little bit of time over the next few weeks to race on the sim, everyone’s gonna get better and better,” Byron said. “I’m sure in a few weeks, it’s going to be highly competitive.”

Even before Sunday’s race, Hamlin was doling out his own odds. The No. 11 driver gave himself six-to-one odds, which will now have to be updated.

But the race was about more than the odds and a first-place finish. Hamlin also pledged to donate $5,000 to assist Miamiarea residents affected by COVID-19 if he won. With that promise becoming a reality, NASCAR fans are again reminded that even amid a crisis, we can find a shared sense of community support through sport, even digitally.

Structure, routine key to helping athletes cope with coronavirus uncertainty Matt Murschel Orlando Sentinel

Like millions of Americans across the country, college athletes are adapting to drastic changes due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The NCAA canceled all winter and spring championships last week in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

It ended not only the men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, which would have been in full swing this weekend, but a slew of other spring sports such as baseball, softball, tennis and golf.

Conferences canceled all athletic events and shut down practices, ripping athletes from their competitive fields and forcing them back home into self-isolation.

Without the familiar visits to nutrition centers, athletic training rooms, weight rooms, their practice venues and team meeting rooms, athletes are facing mental health challenges many have never encountered before.

Thousands of elite performers have suddenly been left without any clarity about their future or any goals they can work toward.

“For many student-athletes, the structure around athletics is their life and that structure can be very protective,” said Dr. Brian Hainline, the NCAA’s chief medical officer. “ ...

When they no longer have that structure and all of a sudden they’re home for long periods of time, sometimes the homes aren’t as nice for them as the campuses. It’s really challenging.”

With that in mind, Hainline and the NCAA issued some recommendations to help coaches and athletes manage anxiety and stress associated with the COVID-19 disruption.

The self-care suggestions include creating a dedicated work environment, establishing a daily routine, making time for regular exercise and mindfulness and finding ways for connectivity with others through virtual communication such as FaceTime.

“It would be one thing if this was like a one-week event, but this is preparing for a marathon,” Hainline said. “This

could very well go on for several months, so it’s a new world.”

Added Florida athletics director Scott Stricklin, “The psychology of an athlete is always working toward something. They woke up this morning and there was nothing to work toward. That’s a hard thing to process.”

That’s why NCAA leaders emphasized the importance of setting up a structure and a daily routine.

“Part of the routine is that you wake up in the morning and you work out or you take a shower and brush your teeth,” Hainline said. “It’s easy at home when you wake up and suddenly, you’re just going to eat and binge-TV over the next six hours or something like that, so you can fall into unhealthy habits.”

The memo is one way the NCAA is working to keep mental health at the forefront during these trying times. The organization is also setting up webinars with athletes who are members of schools’ Student-Athlete Advisory Committees.

SAAC members help provide insight into the day-today experience of college athletes while providing feedback on the rules and policies instituted by the NCAA. There are committees at the campus, conference and national level.

“We’re going to rely on the

national SAAC to give us feedback about some of the emerging concerns they’re hearing about,” Hainline said.

The NCAA is also working with coaches to help them guide their respective athletes during this period.

Hainline said daily video conferencing between coaches and athletes can provide a deeper level of human connectedness rather than just hearing a voice during a phone call and it can mean more if it’s at a structured time as well.

“Coaches get a sense when athletes are falling away,” Hainline said. “Very regular contact helps coaches do what they do best. This is a wonderful opportunity for them to help the athlete navigate through this while they

themselves are trying to do so as well.”

Like many coaches across the country, new Boston College football coach Jeff Hafley is juggling maintaining a program while working through the challenges of the coronavirus outbreak. He, his staff and his players all are in self-isolation at their respective homes.

While daily video meetings between coaches and players are important in understanding schemes and terminology, Hafley sees a more important reason for the visual communication.

“Some of them will be conversations: ‘Does anybody need anything? How are we doing? How’s your family doing?’ I want that to be face-toface over the computer and

not on the phone because it’s hard and we have to be sensitive to the fact that these players will need other people to talk to,” he said.

The NCAA is also hoping in the coming weeks to be able to connect athletes with mental health professionals through telemedicine.

Hainline said the NCAA has been networking with a group of licensed mental health providers who work in athletic departments across the country to set up an online system of contact.

This week, the Trump administration lifted national Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act restrictions that limited the use of telemedicine, and several states, including Florida, have expanded the options that allow patients and doctors to connect online.

“Now there is a much easier way to do telemedicine,” Hainline said. “We’re trying to get that network formalized.

The schools are doing that as well.

“It’s challenging because the encounters now have to be virtual.”

Hainline said the NCAA will have to continue to work and adapt its stance on mental health, particularly with no clear-cut deadline in place for life to return to normal.

“We’re all in a new world and I think the three biggest risks are 1) mental health, 2) self-care and 3) is self-compassion as we try and move forward,” Hainline said.

MLB teams that might not mind a canceled season Bill Madden New York Daily News

We are not going to know for a long time when the baseball season is going to start — if ever. Amid some predictions the country could still be in the grips of the coronavirus into midsummer, we cannot rule out the possibility there may be no baseball season at all this year.

If that turns out to be case, then what?

Believe it or not, there are some clubs that probably wouldn’t mind if 2020 came and went without having to put their teams on the field. Teams like the Yankees, who paid $324 million to one pitcher alone to assure themselves a World Series, and the Dodgers, who added free agent-to-be Mookie Betts to a team that won 106 games last year, were heavily invested in the 2020 season. Those teams in no

Baseball From B1

Of course, it will not be the first time the sport has faced the daunting logistical challenge of restructuring its schedule to account for a crisis or labor stoppage. That has happened enough to get a sense for what a shortened 2020 season might look like when the virus relents.

From the deadly Spanish flu pandemic that impacted the 1918 and ‘19 seasons to the string of labor stoppages that plagued the sport in the final decades of the 20th century, baseball has manipulated its

altogether is not an option.

Canada’s Olympic officials on Sunday night announced that they would not send their athletes to compete in the Tokyo Games, requesting that colleagues around the world follow suit.

“The COC and CPC urgently call on the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to postpone the Games for one year and we offer them our full support in helping navigate all the complexities that rescheduling the Games will bring,” says a statement from The Canadian Olympic Committee and Canadian Paralympic Committee. “While we recognize the inherent complexities around a postponement, nothing is more important than the health and safety of our athletes and the world community.”

The public concessions come as the IOC has found itself increasingly under fire, facing heavy criticism from many athletes and sports federations. USA Swimming and USA Track & Field are among those who have publicly called for a one-year postponement in recent days, and athletes from around the world have voiced their concerns about competing in Tokyo this summer. Many have struggled to train and prepare for the

way want to see it get banged.

The Braves, Nationals and Mets were looking forward to battling it out in the most competitive division in baseball. The White Sox were eager to display their rookie wunderkind center fielder, Luis Robert, and the Cardinals always contend for the most fervid fan base in the sport. They were all looking forward to this season.

But because there is still so much competitive imbalance in baseball, there are far more teams — the Red Sox, Orioles, Rockies, Giants, Pirates and Marlins to name a few — that could just as well do without a season.

They had no chance of contending, and attendance was likely to hemorrhage. And then there are the Astros, who took a beating from the fans all spring and for sure had to welcome the abrupt cancellation of spring training.

Taking them one at a time:

HOUSTON ASTROS It was a brutal spring for the cheating Astros. Everywhere they went they were booed lustily, especially Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman, who heard it even in their home ballpark in West Palm Beach. Dusty Baker, the resident Astros caretaker, confided to me his genuine surprise at the overall anger at his team. Presumably, a year from now, after the nation has endured the horror of this coronavirus, the Astros cheating scandal will be last thing on fans’ minds.

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS A veteran baseball man who saw a lot of the Giants this spring and labeled them by far the worst team in the Cactus League, had this observation: “How do you trade Brian Sabean and Bruce Bochy, who won three world championships and are both going to the Hall of Fame, for Farhan Zaidi and Gabe Kapler? That’s like

trading Lou Brock for Ernie Broglio!”

Zaidi, the consummate analytics man, hired Kapler, a dismal failure in Philadelphia, because he was familiar with him and wanted to get away from “old school” types like Bochy.

But he’s sure gotten him plenty of help. The Giants have 13 coaches this year! How do you need 13 coaches?

Having decided to let their lone gate attraction, Madison Bumgarner, go, they were looking at a lot more than 85 losses in 2020. Said the same baseball man: “What the Giants really need is 13 players!”

BOSTON RED SOX Have to think nobody in baseball is more relieved to see the season delayed than Sox owner John Henry, who was dreading having to hear the Boston media and Fenway fans wailing and moaning every day the Red Sox lost and Betts did something to win a game for the Dodgers.

In that respect, the second-most relieved person in Boston was Alex Verdugo, who, a year from now, may be forgotten as the principal return from the Dodgers for Betts. Henry refused to admit the Red Sox are downsizing, but believe it, they were looking at a losing season even before Sale went down with Tommy John surgery. At least now, they might get him back some time next year.

BALTIMORE ORIOLES It was entirely possible the worstrun team in baseball could have actually surpassed the 108 losses they endured last season. Their best player, Trey Mancini, underwent colon cancer surgery two weeks ago and there was no indication as to when he would be able to play again. Their other best player last year, Jonathan Villar, was traded to the Marlins for a low-A non-prospect pitcher in a salary dump.

to protect Sam Darnold’s blindside doesn’t come without legitimate risk. Fant, an athletic former college basketball player, would be best served as a swing tackle or right tackle. Depending on how the rest of the offseason unfolds, the soon-tobe 28-year-old Fant might wind up on the right side of the line. He possesses some tantalizing traits, but a left tackle’s primary purpose is to be consistently rock solid in pass protection, not be good

in open space on screens.

And by every objective measure, he’s far from a finished product in pass pro.

The Jets downgraded from Kelvin Beachum, who was Douglas’ best lineman last season.

The Jets gave Fant a threeyear, $30 million deal that is essentially a 1-year, $9.25 million pact. Real talk: They overpaid. Sources told me Fant was hoping for about $6 million per year on the open market. The Jets curiously

gave him 30% more.

Center Connor McGovern appears to be a solid addition in the pivot. He’s an improvement. How much remains to be seen. He’s a disciplined player, which matters. The Jets are hopeful he can grow with Darnold.

Former Panthers guard Greg Van Roten proved to be a quality run blocker on the left side in Carolina, but my understanding is that there were pass protection concerns last season. Is he a clear

upgrade from Brian Winters?

Anyone who definitively tells you that he is, probably has some available swamp land in Florida. The good news is the Jets are forking over only about $10 million for their starting guards in 2020.

There’s a giant question mark at the second tackle spot which will be addressed in the near future.

Douglas had the correct strategy to attack the offensive line in free agency, but he didn’t provide many

long-term solutions. Fant, Van Roten and Alex Lewis all signed de facto one-year deals, so Douglas could be right back in the same spot looking for massive line changes a year from now if these guys underperform.

Everyone likes new. But new doesn’t always mean better. Time will tell if Douglas signed the right players to protect the franchise’s most indispensable asset.

schedule and playoff formats in a sometimes clumsy attempt to maintain the continuity of the National Pastime.

Remember the infamous split-season solution in 1981.

The schedule was interrupted by a two-month strike that ended just in time to award first-half division titles and play a short second season to create the first three-tiered playoff format.

It worked out fine for Dodgers and Yankees, who ended up in the World Series while the team with the best overall record — the Cincinnati Reds — somehow ended up completely out of the playoff picture.

The most damaging interruption was the work

stoppage that wiped out the final months of the 1994 season, forced the cancellation of the World Series and delayed the start of the 1995 season, which had to be shortened to 144 games.

Since there will be no games or organized workouts for at least the next eight weeks, it’s almost certain this season will start no sooner than Memorial Day. That leaves only about 120 days for regular-season games if the current postseason format remains intact, unless there is an appetite for pushing the World Series well into November.

The Commissioner’s Office said on Monday that the sport is committed to playing as many games as possible when

it is safe to resume operations, leaving open the question of how many games would constitute a legitimate season and to what lengths MLB will go to get to a number that protects the competitive integrity of the schedule.

No one knows the answer, but Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black proposed the possibility of packing the schedule with doubleheaders — as many as two per week — during a conference call with reporters Thursday.

“In theory, yeah, I think all of us would be up for some sort of doubleheader situation,” Black said. “The thing that’s going to be in front of all of us is it’s going to be the same for everybody. It’s got to

make sense for the clubs and the players.”

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said during his conference call with O’s media Friday that he would be in favor of anything that allows teams to get back on the field for as many games as possible.

“Whatever they do seasonwise we’ll be prepared for it,” Hyde said. If it’s play more doubleheaders, I’m OK with anything. ... That’s something that the league and the players association, those are conversations that I’m sure that they’ll have. But I just want to see our team play, so whatever they tell us it is — whether it’s no off days, doubleheaders, whatever it may be — I’m good with it.”

No doubt, when the time comes that the experts agree it’s safe for large crowds to gather again, the fans will feel the same way.

There will be no perfect solution, but whether there’s time for 81 games or 120, I’m guessing we’ll be thankful for the opportunity to go back to the ballpark and commune together at however many games are still possible.

We all pray the pandemic will pass quickly and we all know that whether the baseball season begins or doesn’t, this pause in the games people play is critical to the well-being of our nation.

Olympics while abiding by safety warnings from public health officials and government-backed restrictions.

Bach said in his letter that deciding the fate of the Tokyo Olympics now “would still be premature.”

“This uncertainty rocks our nerves and raises or strengthens doubts about a positive future; it destroys hope,” he wrote. “Some even have to fear for their very existence. This uncertainty stems from the fact that, at this moment, nobody can really make fully reliable statements about the duration of this fight against the virus. This is true for sport, science, the media, politics, and all of society. Therefore also the IOC can unfortunately not answer all your questions.”

Sebastian Coe, head of World Athletics, the international governing body for track and field, wrote a letter of his own to Bach on Sunday and said keeping with a JulyAugust schedule is “neither feasible nor desirable,” becoming the most prominent Olympic official to date to call for a postponement.

“No one wants to see the Olympic Games postponed but as I have said publicly, we cannot hold the event at all cost, certainly not at the cost of athlete safety, and a decision on the Olympic Games may become very obvious very quickly,” Coe wrote in the letter. “I believe that time has come and we owe it to our athletes to give them respite where we can. And in this matter, I believe we can.”

Sarah Hirshland, chief executive of the U.S. Olympic

and Paralympic Committee, issued a joint statement Sunday with Han Xiao, chair of the organization’s athletes advisory council, saying the IOC letter was “an important step in providing clarity, but our athlete community continues to face enormous ambiguity surrounding the 2020 Games in Tokyo.”

The USOPC officials said they’re “eager to continue to explore alternatives to ensure all athletes have a robust and fulfilling Olympic and Paralympic experience, regardless of when that can safely occur.”

The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency also called for a postponement Sunday. Travis Tygart, USADA’s chief executive, told The Washington Post: “We agree the Games should be postponed, unfortunately, up to a year in fairness to athletes whose lives have been upended and to ensure they don’t potentially become the dirtiest Games ever due to the significant reduction of anti-doping efforts due to covid-19.”

By acknowledging postponement as a possibility, the IOC has relaxed its tone while still holding on to hope that the Tokyo Games can go on as scheduled.

“It is our experience as athletes that you must always be ready to adapt to new situations,” Bach wrote. “For this reason we have, as indicated before, been thinking in different scenarios and are adapting them almost day by day.”

Bach did not outline possible scenarios. A one-year delay appears to be the most likely option, though organizers

also could consider a postponement of a few months or perhaps up to two years.

As concerns over the rapid spread of the disease have grown, pressure has mounted on Olympic officials to make a difficult decision on an event that poses a massive problem for organizers and athletes alike. As they publicly encouraged athletes to continue training for this summer, Olympic officials privately discussed holding the Summer Games without spectators or rescheduling for a later date.

The Olympics, scheduled to begin July 24, draw together more than 11,000 athletes and 25,000 journalists from more than 200 countries - plus hundreds of thousands of foreign tourists.

The coronavirus has disrupted athletic schedules and canceled qualifying events all over the globe. As gyms and facilities closed - including two U.S. Olympic training centers - many athletes struggled to find a place to train. Still, at an IOC executive board meeting March 3, a spokesman said the organization had not discussed contingency plans and vowed that the Games would begin on time.

Bach spoke with stakeholders last week, sharing the same message.

Postponing an Olympics it would involve numerous stakeholders, sponsors, countries, sports federations and national organizing committees. Experts say any delay probably will pose logistical problems in terms of the global sporting calendar and would upend the schedules

for athletes, who have been targeting the summer of 2020 and built their lives and training routines around peaking competitively this year.

In his letter to athletes, Bach called postponement an “extremely complex challenge.”

“A number of critical venues needed for the Games could potentially not be available anymore,” Bach said.

“The situations with millions of nights already booked in hotels is extremely difficult to handle, and the international sports calendar for at least 33 Olympic sports would have to be adapted. These are just a few of many, many more challenges.”

The IOC has said it will rely on counsel from the World Health Organization and prioritize health and safety, but there’s also big money at stake, and postponement

could require heavy changes over major contracts.

The IOC, a nonprofit organization, brought in more than $5 billion during the most recent four-year Olympic cycle, nearly three-quarters of which came from broadcast rights.

NBC, the rights-holder in the United States, contributes about half of that and thus carries a lot of sway with the IOC. “These are extraordinary and unprecedented times, and we fully support the IOC’s decision to step up its scenario-planning for the Tokyo Olympics,” an NBC spokesman said in a statement Sunday. “We are prepared to stand behind any decision made by the IOC, the Japanese government, and the world health officials with whom they are working regarding the Tokyo Olympics.”

times when harsh decisions about things that don’t really matter can be made without the fear of normal blowback.

When people are hoarding toilet paper and buying firearms to prepare for food wars, the

Eagles front office can do what it wants in relative obscurity.

Would the Eagles have found a way to work something out with Jenkins if this were any other offseason?

We’ll never know. What we

know is that in this uncertain moment when every loyalty is dependent on circumstance — wait, you took the train when? — some loyalties aren’t as vital as they once seemed.

NFL notebook: Patriots agree to deal with QB Hoyer Field Level Media

The New England Patriots are examining their options at quarterback after three-time NFL MVP Tom Brady’s departure to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Jarrett Stidham and Cody Kessler were joined on the roster Sunday by former Patriots backup Brian Hoyer.

Released by the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday, Hoyer reached a deal to return for his third stint with New England, the Boston Globe reported.

Stidham, who appears to be the first man up for coach Bill Belichick, was selected by the Patriots in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft.

The 23-year-old beat out Hoyer in the

preseason last summer to serve as the top backup in New England.

Hoyer, 34, began his career with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent from Michigan State, then had stops with Arizona, Cleveland, Houston, Chicago and San Francisco before returning to New England in 2017.

–The Kraft Family and the Patriots took out a full-page ad in the Tampa Bay Times, thanking quarterback Tom Brady for his years of excellence and telling his new city they are gaining a treasure.

“THANK YOU TOM,” the ad starts.

The 42-year-old Brady, who quarterbacked the Patriots to six Super Bowl

victories in 20 seasons, signed a twoyear contract with the Buccaneers on Friday.

The ad lays out Brady’s achievements in a Patriots uniform, which include nine conference championships and 17 AFC East division titles, and states, “There will never be another Tom Brady.”

–The Patriots agreed to a one-year contract with former New York Jets linebacker Brandon Copeland, according to multiple reports.

The 6-foot-3, 268-pound Copeland, 28, joins the Patriots during a free agency period in which they have already lost three linebackers to other teams

(Kyle Van Noy and Elandon Roberts to Miami, Jamie Collins to Detroit).

–The Jets reached agreement on a one-year contract with cornerback Pierre Desir, multiple outlets reported.

Desir, 29, can earn up to $5.5 million with the deal, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. He registered 50 tackles, 11 passes defensed and a career-high three interceptions in 12 games (11 starts) last season with Indianapolis.

–The Atlanta Falcons are signing free agent wide receiver Laquon Treadwell, WSB-TV reported.

The Falcons also announced the re-signing of cornerback Blidi

Wreh-Wilson to a one-year contract, and ESPN reported the signing of free agent guard Justin McCray.

–The New Orleans Saints bolstered their secondary by signing safety D.J. Swearinger to a one-year, $1.1 million contract, multiple media outlets reported.

Swearinger will join free-agent acquisition and fellow safety Malcolm Jenkins, who signed a four-year contract last week. The 28-year-old Swearinger played in one game with the Saints after signing with the club on Dec. 18, also playing in four games each with Oakland and Arizona in 2019.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Couple’s views on one issue threaten future Dear Abby, After an abusive relationship ended 14 years ago, I stayed single and raised my small son to adulthood. I dated here and there, but never found anyone I had serious feelings for who also felt the same way about me until seven DEAR ABBY months ago.

My feelings for my boyfriend are strong, and it’s mutual. He is giving, kind, caring, hardworking and protective. We are very much in love. He tells me he feels like he can be himself around me, something he has never had before. I’ve never had anyone care so much about my well-being.

We talk about everything and differ on only one point so far. I’m in education and an LGBTQ ally. He feels strongly that nature dictates that only a man and a woman belong together, and he says he hates gay people. (We both grew up in very small, conservative communities.)

Now that my son is older, I plan to use my experiences to be a stronger voice on education issues regarding tolerance and improving learning outcomes for all by instilling conflict resolution principles in my educational practices. I’m not changing my view on this, but I want to continue for us to love and support each other.

Should I tell my boyfriend I understand where he’s coming from based upon where and how we were raised? Do you think down the road our basic principles will drive us apart?

We have been talking about buying a house in the country together, although neither of us has intentions of marriage anytime soon.

Hesitating In Illinois

JEANNE PHILLIPS

You should absolutely talk to your boyfriend about your plan to become an outspoken LGBTQ ally and more active in your profession.

When you become more visible, do you plan to separate your career and your personal life? It appears you are willing (and able) to respect him, and understand why he feels the way he does. But is he willing to do the same for you, and will his conservative convictions negatively affect how you plan to live your life?

It is VERY important that this issue be resolved BEFORE investing in real estate with him — as well as any more precious time. A professional mediator may be able to help with the conversation if you can’t do this by yourselves.

Dear Abby, My two grandchildren, 12 and 16, used to spend a lot of time with my husband and me, staying overnight, going on trips, etc. As they have gotten older, I recognize that they will naturally want to spend less time with us old folks.

My problem is, when I send them texts to invite them for lunch or out somewhere for the day, they don’t respond or just respond with an IDK (I don’t know). My question: Should I ask again to get an answer before the scheduled lunch or trip, or should I just forget it and assume they don’t want to be involved with us?

The most important two requirements for a treatment are that it be effective and safe. That’s what really matters, whether it’s a prescription medication, supplement, folk remedy, food or exercise. For reasons including the profit motive, much of the best studies are done on patent-protected pharmaceuticals. However, some studies look at other kinds of therapies. Sometimes remedies that don’t have great evidence work nonetheless.

In the case of a “pinched nerve” — an imprecise term that refers to any pain or numbness that occurs when a nerve is compressed

— massage sometimes can be helpful. It depends on the underlying cause. Often, the problem is muscle spasm, which can be caused by stress and bad posture. In that case, a massage certainly might be effective.

There are no known treatments to fix or even slow down osteoarthritis, but many different types of treatment can offer relief, including massage. Massage has fewer side effects than just about any medication you could think of, and if it works for an individual, I support it.

Alcohol and gabapentin are both substances that should be used with caution, for different reasons. Alcohol can cause some short-term muscle relaxation, but it has well-known toxicities. Whatever benefit it may have can be lost with repeated use. I don’t recommend alcohol as a treatment for any medical condition you are likely to have.

Gabapentin, which is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for seizures and treatment of the pain syndrome following shingles, is frequently used off-label for many kinds of pain due to nerve damage. It is slow to take effect, and its side effects, especially sedation, limit its use unless the dose is brought up very slowly. It is not a good choice for most types of acute pain.

Horoscope

By Stella Wilder Born today, you are never one to call it quits merely because something has become difficult for whatever reason; the only thing that will ever compel you to hang up your spurs is a desire to do something else, or the realization that what you are currently doing no longer gives you true satisfaction. But difficulty? No, that’s not something you will shy away from!

You know how to apply yourself wholeheartedly to an endeavor and to lead others from mediocrity to greatness.

There are certain aspects of your complex personality that you choose to keep under wraps as much as possible, the first and foremost being your remarkable sensitivity. This can be revealed quite unexpectedly in many common situations: You may be very quick to cry at movies, at the television news or at human-interest stories of all kinds.

Also born on this date are: Peyton Manning, football quarterback; Harry Houdini, magician and escape artist; Steve McQueen, actor; Jessica Chastain, actress; Louie Anderson, comedian and actor; Kelly Lebrock, actress and model.

You have asked an intelligent question, but you are asking the wrong person. The people you should be asking are your grandchildren, and when you do, it should be face-to-face.

Nontraditional treatment versus pain meds At least three times a year I suffer from a pinched nerve. According to my physician, it is due to osteoarthritis and/or stress and bad posture. The pain can make me nauseated at times. On one occasion, it drove me to go to an emergency clinic. The physician prescribed gabapentin. After researching the side effects, I TO YOUR decided not to take the pharGOOD HEALTH maceutical.

Recently, a pinched nerve started in my neck, then moved to my left shoulder and down my left arm. Relief came in the form of massage and two shots of tequila, which had fewer ill effects than the gabapentin was reported to.

What is your position on folk or nontraditional remedies versus medical fixes?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You attract many people into your orbit today — and most are coming to you because they are unhappy with one or more associations elsewhere.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Someone close to you is likely to recognize the jewel in your particular crown — and it’s something you’ve been taking for granted lately.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You have been taken with a great many lofty thoughts of late. You must avoid building castles in air, however, even as you look upward.
