Hogan urges boycott over mandates By Natasha Vaughn-Holdridge Columbia-Greene Media

KINDERHOOK — Town Councilwoman Sally Hogan called on parents Wednesday to homeschool their children as a way of protesting mask and vaccination mandates. A number of parents spoke out against the Ichabod Crane Central School District’s mask requirement and policy requiring vaccines for student athletes this winter. Hogan has been homeschooling her elementary-age son for two years. She claimed the COVID vaccination is a method of gene therapy. Ichabod Crane, like all six school districts in Columbia County, requires students, staff and visitors to wear masks

while in the school building, except during activities such as lunch. All the county’s districts also require students who play indoor winter sports to be vaccinated, a policy school districts adopted which had been recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Columbia County Department of Health. “Along with my husband, we made the decision to homeschool because masking a child is abuse,” Hogan said. “I’ve shared the short- and long-term effects of masks, from potentially choking, to mental health problems to facial deformation. As a board you chose to ignore those facts from well-known doctors and continue to require them to attend school.”

The CDC has repeatedly issues statements that mask-wearing has no significant adverse health effects for wearers. Hogan encouraged Ichabod Crane parents to pull their children from the school and homeschool them instead. “I am asking you all to reconsider the requirement of masks and the requirement of this experimental gene therapy on our children,” Hogan said. “You’ve continued to make decisions in your financial interests rather than the interests of our children. I call on parents, if you must, make a statement, pull your child from Ichabod, sign up to homeschool and Ichabod will lose that funding for each child. If you need help, See HOGAN A2

One dead in house explosion

By Bill Williams Columbia-Greene Media

PINE PLAINS — One person died and another was taken to a local hospital after a house exploded and burst into flames in this Northern Dutchess County town Wednesday night. Lawrence Pariseau, 61, of Pine Plains was found dead inside the wreckage. Kim Dunn, 62, of Pine

Plains was taken to Mid-Hudson Regional Hospital in Poughkeepsie with non-life-threatening injuries, Aaron Hicks, public information officer for state police Troop K, said Thursday. At about 7:34 p.m., first responders were called to the area, after receiving numerous reports of an explosion, Hicks said. When firefighters arrived at the

two-story home at 41 Hoffman Road, they reported that the structure had collapsed and was on fire. Mutual-aid assistance was requested and multiple fire companies from Dutchess County and four departments from Columbia County responded to the scene. See EXPLOSION A2

Supervisors project tax decrease in 2022 budget By Natasha Vaughn-Holdridge Columbia-Greene Media

HUDSON — Columbia County is expecting a tax decrease in next year’s budget but is not saying how much the decrease could be. Board of Supervisors Chairman Matt Murell announced Wednesday night the county will likely see lower taxes in the 2022 budget. “I am pleased to report that, based on the analysis of our finance team of Treasurer PJ Keeler, Controller Ron Caponera, Finance Committee Chairman Jim Guzzi and myself as budget officer, we are currently seeing projections that inform us the 2022 budget will bring us tax decrease,” Murell said. The county is not releasing numbers related to the decrease at this time,

Murell said. “Because of the time remaining in 2021, we are not releasing numbers relative to the projected decrease at this time,” Murell said. “But should the year finish out as we’ve seen in years past, and how things look today, I think we’ll have good news for county taxpayers in their 2022 county tax bill.” The projections are based on current and historical trends, Murell said. “The measures that we put in place for the pandemic last year helped us maintain our strong financial position throughout the year and into the year of ’21,” Keeler said. “We were able to accumulate those savings, and actually this past year we’ve had an increase in

funding for each child. If you need help, message me.” Hogan said three parents have since reached out to her about homeschooling. She said the three intend to homeschool their children next year if there are vaccine requirements for all students. “You can choose to not do this as a board,” Hogan said. “This shot is still not FDA-approved and is being administered under emergency use authorization. This shot you demand people get doesn’t protect you from infection.” Ichabod Crane School Superintendent Suzanne Guntlow talked about her concerns for safety during the pandemic. “The pandemic has created so many issues for schools out of the ordinary and this has

obviously been a very difficult 18 months,” Guntlow said in a statement. “Our primary focus, however, has consistently been on the health and safety of our students, staff and the community. We have aligned our policies and procedures with the recommendations of the New York State Department of Education, the Columbia County Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control.” Guntlow said the alternative from the CDC would be to cancel winter sports. “This guidance calls for either canceling high-risk sports or ensuring athletes are vaccinated at times of high transmission,” Guntlow said. “Vaccination not only reduces one’s risk of contracting and spreading COVID-19, but also from experiencing severe cases that require hospitalization. Our goal is to continue all extracurricular activities and to keep our students as healthy and safe as possible

so instruction can continue to occur where children learn best, in the classroom.” Ichabod Crane Board of Education President Matthew Nelson said the board is committed to providing an opportunity for their students to be able to participate in sports and other extracurricular activities in an environment that is as healthy and safe as possible. “The CDC guidelines state that in areas of high transmission, which currently includes Columbia County, sports should be canceled if participants are not fully vaccinated,” Nelson said in a statement. “In keeping with our commitment to allow activities to continue, and for the mental health benefit of our students, we are adhering to these recommendations by requiring vaccination for all winter athletes.” “As the superintendent shared at the last board meeting, however, should the county

The investigation is being handled by the Dutchess County Fire Investigation Division, New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control and state police. Fire departments that assisted Pine Plains at the scene on Wednesday night included: Milan, Millerton, Amenia, Stanford, Ancram, Copake, Taghkanic and Livingston. Also assisting at the scene were Dutchess County Emergency Management and Town of Pine Plains Police. Friends and family have organized online fundraisers for the victims.

offer and come up with a decrease in our tax levy for 2022,” Keeler said. “We were also able to inject a small portion of the federal stimulus payments that we are receiving into the 2022 budget, which reduces some of our expenses moving forward as well.” The 2022 budget will not contain a reduction in services, Murell said. “We continue to produce budgets that are in the best interest of all our residents,” Murell said. “That includes much-needed services of mental health, social services and public safety as well as maintenance of roads and bridges, all of which have been affected during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Supervisors issued a statement saying since 2013, Columbia County’s average tax increase has been a modest 1.1%. At the same time, appropriations to the general fund have increased 14.1% through 2021, but due to revenue enhancements and expense controls the county has maintained minimal increases in the tax levy. The budget process is guided by the county’s General Fund Balance policy, Murell said. The policy was established by a Board of Supervisors resolution and adopted based on historical county financial performance, assuring that Columbia County is able to meet current and future financial obligations as it maintains its financial strength moving forward. The county

drop below a high level of transmission — as identified by the CDC’s COVID Tracker — we will welcome student athletes who chose not to get vaccinated,” Nelson said. “As the numbers both nationally and locally appear to be on the decline, we hope that day comes sooner rather than later for our student athletes.” The concerns voiced by parents at the board of education meeting at Ichabod on Wednesday are similar to concerns voiced at other school board meetings in the county. A number of parents spoke at a Chatham board of education meeting earlier this month with similar concerns. Hogan is not running for reelection in November. The Kinderhook Republican Party did not nominate her at its caucus in June. This had been Hogan’s first term on the board.

In the appropriated 2021 budget, the fund balance requirement would equal $20 million with a cash requirement of between $12 million and $18 million. The 2020 unaudited financial statement shows $20 million in general fund balance with $14 million in cash. For historical reference, 2012 showed a general fund balance of $11.8 million, with $5.6 million in cash.

New York Daily News

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., moved to push a compromise voting rights and elections bill Thursday even though Republicans have vowed to block it. Schumer will start the clock running for lawmakers to consider the so-called Freedom to Vote Act, which would counter GOP efforts in states that seek limit access to the ballot box especially by minority groups that lean Democratic. “(We hope to advance) solutions on a bipartisan basis to ensure all Americans have a say in our democracy,” Schumer wrote in a letter to Democratic colleagues. The measure would set national rules for running elections and includes provisions that would limit state voter ID requirements. It has been spearheaded by moderate Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who objected to an

earlier more expansive Democratic bill. Manchin hoped to enlist the support of enough GOP senators to overcome any filibuster but appears to have fallen far, far short of the 10 Republican votes needed. Schumer sought to shame Republicans into offering suggestions or agreeing to at least debate the bill. “I hope our Republican colleagues will join with us in good faith,” Schumer said. “But Republicans must come to the table ... and at the very least vote to open debate.” Neither possibility seems likely as a test vote looms next Wednesday. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has decried the entire effort as a federal takeover of state-run election systems and vowed to block it. The bill amounts to a compromise effort for Democrats to protect and expand voting

rights protections after the widespread effort by Republican-run states to make it more difficult to vote. Some Democrats had hoped that Republican recalcitrance might convince Manchin and a handful of other moderate Democrats to agree to carve out an exception to the filibuster rule for voting rights measures. That would allow Democrats to pass the bill with just 50 votes in the evenly divided Senate. But Manchin and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., have steadfastly refused to entertain that idea, even as the GOP flexes its muscle to block key

One dead in Saugerties crash By Bill Williams Columbia-Greene Media

SAUGERTIES — One driver is dead following a collision between a school bus and a dump truck Thursday morning in Saugerties, said Sgt. Collin Reynolds of the Ulster County Sheriff’s Department. The driver of the dump truck was pronounced dead at the scene, Reynolds said. The condition of the bus driver has not been released by police. There were no children on the bus, Reynolds said. Police have not identified the drivers of either vehicle.

At about 8:51 a.m., the bus and truck collided on Route 9W at Main Street, Reynolds said. Details of the accident were not immediately available. Ulster County 911 sent Malden-West Camp Fire Company and Diaz Ambulance to the scene. They immediately requested mutual-aid assistance, and firefighters from Saxton-Katsbaan responded. All available manpower was requested to the scene. Route 9W and several other streets in the area were closed while crews worked. Route 9W remained closed through the

OUR VIEW

Parade’s offensive spoiler can’t happen again For Coxsackie’s D.M. Hamilton Steamer Co. No. 2, last Friday’s festive 150th anniversary party took an unwelcome turn. The sale of Confederate flags by a vendor at the firefighters dress parade ignited a five-alarm furor on social media and led to threats against an event organizer. Confederate flags have been deemed a hate symbol by the Anti-Defamation League and in December were prohibited from being sold or displayed on stateowned property in New York under legislation signed by former Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The flags were being sold by a vendor at McQuade Park in Coxsackie following the Mardi Gras parade. A solution seems simple. The village should develop guidelines for McQuade Park that are adapted from 2020 state legislation that prohibits sales and displays of Confederate flags on stateowned property in New York. Such a measure would make it unlawful to sell or display

the Confederate flag and other hate symbols at McQuade Park. Coxsackie Village Mayor Mark Evans said the fire company asked the vendor to remove the Confederate flags after firefighters were made aware of them. “I firmly believe there was no malicious intent on the part of the fire company,” Evans said at a village board meeting Tuesday. “I don’t believe they knew this vendor had those items.” The vendor, whom officials and event organizers did not identify, agreed to take the flags down late Friday evening, D.M. Hamilton Steamer President T.J. Moore said. It should be noted the vendor was not selling only Confederate flags. Also for sale were American flags and several varieties with all sorts of designs and messages. “We went right over there and said something to the guy very nicely,” Moore said. “He was very cordial and he pulled it down. It did not go

up the rest of the time the event was going on.” Vendors were required to identify what they planned to sell during the event, but they were allowed to do it in broad strokes — flags, cups, tumblers — and did not have to provide specifics. Requiring more detailed descriptions of vendor inventories would prevent this from happening again. If organizers knew from the start that this vendor was selling Confederate flags, his application would not have been accepted. If something offensive is seen early, the mayor, police or other village officials should be notified immediately. As the slogan goes, “If you see something, say something.” This is more helpful than venting on social media. Give village officials, police and event organizers a chance to act. They can’t do anything unless they know about it. Let’s hope this distressing and offensive episode never happens again.

And while Biden was able to announce extended hours for the severely backed-up port of Los Angeles, the supply chain problems go well beyond one port. As the New York Times reports: “The blockages stretch up and down supply chains, from foreign harbors to American rail yards and warehouses. . . . The pandemic has shut down factories and slowed production around the world.” That means delays in getting products to consumers, as well as potentially higher prices. Several things are clear regarding Biden’s future: First, tackling the coronavirus pandemic so that the economy can return to something akin to normal is fundamental. The good news is that the seven-day average for covid-19 cases is down roughly 12 percent with fewer hot spots. Second, if Biden gets a sizable reconciliation package, the bumpy negotiations will fade in significance; if he does not, he and his party will be in deep trouble.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ‘The fact that somebody is displeased is no evidence that we are wrong.’ MARY ANN SHADD CARY

Giving credit where credit is due To the editor: It was stated in “Our View,” (Saturday, Sunday, Sept. 25-26, 2021), that recently resigned State Health Commissioner, Dr. Howard Zucker, owed the families of those who died in nursing homes due to Covid-19, summer 2020, an apology for his part in the blunder of the underreporting of these deaths and for the mandate of March 2020 that nursing home residents who tested positive for the virus could not be discriminated against by not being readmitted to these facilities. This sentiment among those grieving for their loved ones is understandable. I both worked in a nursing home and lost my mother who was living in one at the time of her death. I understand how common viruses and infection can spread quickly in these communal settings. But as a former admitting coordinator, I also know how much

pressure is put on a nursing facility to take patients from acute hospitals once a patient is in the convalescent stage of an affliction, under any circumstance. When people are otherwise too incapacitated to take care of themselves at home, or if they or their families cannot find or afford twenty-four hour, in-home care, nursing and convalescent homes are the alternative. This is why they exist, to take care of those who cannot take care of themselves. So my question is where were the hospitals that were beginning to fill up with very ill Covid-19 patients supposed to send the patients who were otherwise living in nursing homes before their hospitalization? In an ideal world, there would have been a place specifically set up for just such emergencies. But that was not the reality in March 2020. During that time, New

York City was becoming a scary place and those who could afford to fled the City. Governor Cuomo found himself dealing with what turned out to be a worldwide pandemic. At first, he fumbled. Not accurately recording how many patients died in nursing homes was a serious mistake. But we must not forget how many lives he saved once he finally got a handle on the situation. The same holds true for Dr. Zucker, his medical advisor. Starting spring 2020, I and millions of others listened to or read Governor Cuomo’s daily Covid-19 updates. They became the informative beacon of light in a terrifying situation. Giving credit where credit is due is also important in this increasingly unforgiving and divisive world.

Voters encouraged to vote for Slotter on Nov. 2 To the editor: I’m writing in support of Beth Slotter for Chatham Town Clerk. I have known Beth since we both volunteered to be on our school’s PTA board a few years ago and she immediately impressed me. As vice president and treasurer of the PTA, Beth kept meticulous records and was responsive to concerns and ideas from our school community.

She is organized, collaborative, and exceptionally hard working. Beth was willing to put in extra effort when needed and was always a team player. I am impressed by Beth’s ideas for improving the service of the Town Clerk. As a busy Chatham resident I don’t often think to seek out information about town business and therefore greatly appreciate Beth’s goals of creating a

regular newsletter to keep the public informed as well as expanded office hours to meet the needs of our neighbors. As Town Clerk she can be counted upon to be accessible, transparent, and prompt in her service to our community. I encourage all Chatham voters to vote for Beth Slotter on Nov. 2.

Nelson’s leadership is needed in Kinderhook To the editor: My first encounter with the current town board was two members knocking on my door a couple years ago. I asked them about expanding our recreational facilities — we would go to Crellin Park in Chatham frequently to use the skate park and swim pond, could we do something similar in Kinderhook? The answer I got was that it wouldn’t be worth trying, it’s too hard. While I applaud the candor, it’s not a good answer from people asking for my vote! I found out later we have 80 acres of land granted for

recreational purposes behind Volunteer Park that sits locked behind a gate! Since then I’ve been to several Town Board meetings and am dismayed by the lack of foresight or vision for the future. We have such opportunities — as our economy shifts to telecommuting and increasing demand for local foods and products, Kinderhook can achieve a wonderful balance of local agriculture, small business and working professionals. We need to do the things that foster this. The investments in the school system, our brand new STEAM wing

in the high school being built nearly on schedule despite the pandemic, shows us that Matthew Nelson’s leadership on the School Board is just what we need for the Town Board. A modern economy with agriculture, tourism, remote workers and small business means broadband, education, green energy and support for families and recreation are critical investments. Let’s take advantage of our stimulus dollars to truly invest in our community’s future. JAKE HALL NIVERVILLE

Support for Melissa Miller for town board To the editor: I enthusiastically encourage fellow Town of Kinderhook residents to vote for Melissa Miller for Town Board, given her understanding of financial operations, demonstrated ability to fulfill the responsibilities entrusted to her, and her enthusiasm for communication with constituents. Melissa has already completed training modules in Town Finance, Town Budgets, and Rules and Responsibilities, and has researched municipal requirements under the Open Meetings Law and the need to comply with that Law.

Serving as Treasurer of the Ichabod Crane PTA for two years, Melissa knows the importance of handling other people’s money so that the goals for which support was given are achieved to the greatest extent possible. As President of the Town Dog Park, she and her husband, Michael, developed and maintain communication channels that keep the Town Dog Park family always in the loop. News about vaccine clinics, common canine illnesses that may be going around, and other dog-related topics are provided to all. Notices of upcoming meetings are not just

Three vie for two council seats in Ancram

Compiled by Melanie Lekocevic Columbia-Greene Media

ANCRAM — Three candidates will be on the ballot in Ancram in the November election vying for two seats on the town council. Running for office will be Amy Gold, Bonnie Hundt and Steve Olyha. Candidates responded to a questionnaire to share their background and views, and are presented in alphabetical order. Name: Amy Gold Age: 69 Family: Spouse, Fredric Gold; son, Maximilian Gold How long you’ve lived in the county: We have owned property in Columbia County since 1982 and have lived full-time in Ancramdale since 2015. Occupation: Director of Corporate Communications for a global high-tech firm. Are you an incumbent: No Party line on ballot: Democratic Previous elected offices: None College: Temple University What do you think is the top issue facing your community: What would you do to address this issue if elected? One very important focus must be on getting broadband, including cellular coverage, to all residents and in all “dead” zones, across the three hamlets that make up the town of Ancram: Boston Corners, Ancramdale and Ancram. The Town Board should prioritize this for the community as it is both a safety and health issue, as well as an educational and work mandate. If we are to attract people and businesses to our town, we must be able to provide the tools necessary for their success. Coupled with addressing the need for housing that is affordable, these are two top priorities of mine. Why do you think you will be a good supervisor/trustee? If you are a newcomer, what are you looking forward to accomplishing if elected? In order to make the town meetings and activities more inclusive and available to a

wider population the town must urgently make the meetings accessible by Zoom or other online ser- Amy Gold vice. To not do so during these times when social distancing is an imperative is a disservice to the community. I have heard this from our constituents repeatedly as I talk with members of the community. I will advocate for greater transparency of the work done by the Board and believe that by encouraging more expansive community representation at town meetings this can be achieved. Whether in-person or online, the more voices heard from, the more inclusive and impactful our work can be. I am a member of the Conservation Advisory Council of Ancram and I will support programs that serve and protect our natural resources. As a life-long conservationist, I promise to be a dependable steward of our sustainable future. Name: Bonnie Hundt Age: 67 Family: Spouse, Mary Murfitt How long you’ve lived in the county: 14 years Occupation: Salon owner, hair stylist Are you an incumbent: Yes Party line on ballot: Democratic Previous elected offices: Supervisor, town of Amenia, 2003-2005; Ancram Town Council, 2017-2021 What do you think is the top issue facing your community? What would you do to address this issue if elected? The lack of housing due to income inequality and high home prices. I am actively involved with all levels of government to find viable solutions. Why do you think you will be a good councilwoman? What are you most proud of accomplishing if you hold office?

My extensive experience on numerous committees and boards and as a long-time small busi- Bonnie Hundt ness owner gives me insight into what we need to adapt to our changing community. I hope to be a pro-active leader in bringing better broadband and infrastructure into our town as well as doing all we can to confront climate change. Name: Steve Olyha Age: 66 Family: Spouse, Nancy; children John, 40, Stephen, 36, Kristen, 35, Scott, 31, Katie, 27 How long you’ve lived in the county: 47 years parttime, five years full-time Occupation: Executive coach, former CEO Are you an incumbent: No Party line on ballot: Republican Previous elected offices: None College: Iona College, BBA in Management What do you think is the top issue facing your community? What would you do to address this issue if elected? One issue is the need for us to expand the number of active participants on the various volunteer boards, committees and events that we have in Ancram. We tend to see many of the same faces across our meetings and often when we seek volunteers, we get a limited response. We also need to recognize securing the involvement of our younger community members would add new voices and points of view, especially to organizations like the Ancram Fire Company. And because Ancram embraces open and transparent conversations and debates, having other points of view added is always a positive. The board can play a major role here, one by being even more progressive in the use of technology. For example, implementing new technology at town hall to expand

remote participation as well as providing options for other events, and using social media, which is Steve Olyha the primary vehicle most people use today to communicate. I would also encourage the board as a member to invest in a resource with expertise in this area, there are inexpensive options to have a social media expert build Ancram a communications and outreach plan, which can support multiple initiatives and build the “Ancram Brand.” Why do you think you will be a good councilman? If you are a newcomer, what are you looking forward to accomplishing if elected? One of the most important things I bring is my active participation and deep commitment to Ancram, our home for many years. As chairman of the Zoning Board of Appeals, member of the Financial Advisory Committee, Board of Assessment Review, Zoning Revisions Committee, and founder and chairperson of our annual Winterfest event, I know Ancram well and care deeply about continuing to give my time. I believe in thoughtful and respectful consideration of all points of view, and in “listening for understanding, not to respond” as a powerful way of insuring respectful engagement. Passion is a powerful thing; thoughtful passion is even more so. One of my passions is dealing with local hunger issues, an area where I also give much of my time. I also have a deep financial background as well as a progressive view of technology and have been encouraging the board to invest in this area for some time. A significant accomplishment would be to advance the use of technology as a tool for our community and further involve and excite younger members of Ancram.

Increasing the biodiversity of a lawn greatly increases its attractiveness to pollinators.

Bee-friendly lawns By Thomas Christopher For Columbia-Greene Media

What if, instead of being environmental offenders, lawns could be contributors to the well-being of our landscapes? That’s the question Dr. Eric Watkins has been addressing in his work at the University of Minnesota, and he is coming up with some intriguing answers. For almost a decade now he’s been creating lawns that are not only more sustainable, requiring far less inputs to remain green and growing, but also hospitable to native bees and other pollinators. The grasses on which Dr. Watkins has been basing his lawns are various mixtures of the species known as fine fescues. This group includes a number of different types: hard fescues, creeping red fescues, chewings fescues, and sheep fescues. They have long been an important component of the “shady mixes” of grass seed you’ll find at the local garden center or big box store, although they actually grow quite well in situations of full sun as well. As the name suggests, they are finer textured than most other turf grasses, with thin leaf blades. I’ve planted a few lawns composed of mixtures of these grasses and found them quite adaptable, though they won’t tolerate poorly drained, consistently damp soils. They have several advantages over other turf grasses. I was interested in them because they are naturally short and so need far less mowing — I mow my own fine fescue lawn about once a month, and a friend for whom I installed such a lawn, who doesn’t mind a somewhat tousled look, mows just twice a year, once in late spring and again in late summer. A lawn’s need for fertilizer, as Dr. Watkins points out, will vary with the soil on which it is growing, but he has found that a fine fescue lawn typically needs just a half to a quarter the amount of fertilizer as a Kentucky bluegrass lawn would on the same site. The fine fescues — and Dr. Watkins likes to plant mixes of the different types to increase the genetic diversity and adaptability of the resulting turf — are as a group are outstandingly drought tolerant once established, although they do require irrigation during periods of prolonged heat and dry weather. If you select fine fescue seed that contains endophytes, a beneficial fungus that lives within the grass, the lawn will also be naturally resistant to diseases and to many turfeating insects.

An interesting characteristic of the fine fescues is that they are clump-forming, growing as a collection of discrete plants. As they establish themselves, they will fill in to make a solid, and weed-resistant carpet, but they can coexist with sprinklings of lowgrowing flowering plants that make them hospitable to pollinators: “beefriendly.” Dr. Watkins has been experimenting with including white clover, creeping thyme, and selfheal (Prunella vulgaris). Increasing the biodiversity of the lawn in this fashion greatly increases its attractiveness to pollinators; the University of Minnesota researchers have found over 50 species of native bees visiting their bee lawns. To maintain populations of the flowering plants, the bee lawn cultivator must avoid the use of broadleaf weedkillers, another advantage from an environmentalist’s perspective. Applications of insecticides will kill pollinators, and so these too should be avoided. Added to these benefits is the fact that such beefriendly lawns have a smaller carbon footprint because they require so much less mowing, fertilizer, and water. The state of Minnesota has taken a hand in encouraging such plantings with a “Lawns to Legumes” program that offers grants to gardeners to convert conventional turf to such bee-friendly lawns. It offers a “Planting for Pollinators Habitat Guide” with comprehensive instructions on how to accomplish this, available for free download from its Board of Water and Soil Resources website that is most easily located by conducting a web search for “Lawns to Legumes.” For more information, listen to a conversation with Dr. Watkins about bee-friendly and sustainable lawns on the Berkshire Botanical Garden Growing Greener podcast at www. thomaschristophergardens.com/podcasts/beefriendly-lawns Be-a-Better-Gardener is a community service of Berkshire Botanical Garden, located in Stockbridge, Mass. Its mission, to provide knowledge of gardening and the environment through a diverse range of classes and programs, informs and inspires thousands of students and visitors each year. Thomas Christopher is a volunteer at Berkshire Botanical Garden and is the author or co-author of more than a dozen books.

NY weighs COVID vaccine mandate for school children

By Kate Lisa

Johnson Newspaper Corp.

NEW YORK — Gov. Kathy Hochul and top state officials will consider adding the COVID-19 vaccine to the state’s list of required inoculations for students attending New York school districts as federal regulators are expected to approve the life-saving shot for children ages 5 to 11 this month. Hochul spoke with White House coronavirus response coordinator Dr. Jeff Zients on Wednesday, who called on all U.S. governors to start registering pediatricians in their respective states to prepare for vaccinating children under 12 against COVID-19 when approved by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration. Pfizer requested emergency authorization to use its two-dose COVID-19 vaccine for children 5 to 11 last Thursday. “I am certainly willing to look at this,” Hochul said of a mandate for students Wednesday during a coronavirus briefing in Manhattan. “I want to go by the data, the numbers, and see how effective the approach is just to encourage people and have many pediatricians make it a part of a child’s [annual] check-up, or make it part of a child’s routine series of getting their vaccinations. The number of new child COVID cases remains exceptionally high, and has increased with the start of school and the emergence of the more transmissible COVID delta variant. Cases of U.S. children testing positive for COVID-19 increased 6% from Sept. 23 to Oct. 7, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association. More than 148,000 virus cases in children were added within the past week, with over 750,000 child cases in the

past month. More than 6 million U.S. children have tested positive for the virus as of Oct. 7, according to the academy. More than 500 U.S. children have died of COVID-19 complications since the pandemic began, according to the CDC. Earlier this month, the state of California announced it would require the COVID vaccine in schools in July 2022, or in time for the 202223 school year. “My default position is to trust the parents to do the right thing,” Hochul said. “As soon as it’s available, we’ll be monitoring how effective it has been to ask parents to do something that they certainly did for their children before

they even entered Kindergarten that they made sure they were vaccinated against any disease that could harm them and I believe there will be a strong sentiment of people doing that voluntarily. “I will monitor that, but I’m willing to take a step if we see numbers we’re not satisfied with,” she added. Zients vowed Wednesday federal officials will be ready to vaccinate millions of children quickly as soon as the FDA gives the green light for low-dose kids vaccines as early as the end of October. He laid out a widespread public education plan to encourage parents to get their children ages 5-11 vaccinated.

Bail reform becomes focus at gun violence hearing By Kate Lisa Johnson Newspaper Corp.

ALBANY — Law enforcement leaders and state litigators challenged lawmakers Thursday about the state’s bail and discovery laws during an Assembly hearing about gun violence and a stalled ammunition sales database legislated in 2013. The Assembly Codes Committee held a public hearing on the status of the state’s firearm ammunition sales database and to seek input from stakeholders on proposed legislation to address the illegal import or possession of guns in New York. But a panel of top law enforcement officials, including state Chiefs of Police Association Executive Director Patrick Phelan, New York Police Department Commissioner Dermot Shea and department Assistant Deputy Commissioner Oleg Chernyasky and Yonkers Police Commissioner John Mueller used the opportunity to challenge the state’s 2019 bail reform laws, and tying them to increased gun violence across New York. “Last year, 88% of those arrested were back out on the street within hours, or sometimes days of arrest,” Shea said. “This year, that number stands at 82%. ... What we’re seeing is an increase of people that are committing shootings that have open bail arrests or people that are committing shootings, getting out on bail or no bail on unrelated charges — all of those percentages on rising to an alarming level. “...The only way to correct this issue is to amend the law

to permit judges to consider the level of danger an arrestee poses to the public.” Violent crimes have risen in urban areas across the nation since 2020, and in states that did not make recent changes to their cash bail system, replied Assembly Codes Chairman Jeffrey Dinowitz, D-Bronx. “I don’t think the answers are simple,” he said, “but I’m not sure you can directly connect all these changes to what’s happening in New York.” The law enforcement panel expressed support to create a database to record statewide ammunition sales, and noted 25-year highs in the number of firearms seized since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. Officials have attributed the rising crime to the poverty, food insecurity and other difficulties plaguing communities since the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic 19 months ago. It could take years to fully know and understand the factors at play. Crime is up exponentially year over year, and in the last two years, but remains significantly lower than overall rates of armed burglaries, shootings and homicides in the 80s and 90s. “What we needed were rational discovery forms that would give defendants adequate and timely access to relevant evidence to allow for a more educated plea bargain, but at the same time, protecting witnesses and victims from dangerous criminals,” Phelan said.

Shea requested the Legislature eliminate cash bail, but allow a judge to decide to hold a defendant with conditions based on their public threat level. Lawmakers will continue to discuss the bail reform issue, but will push for the creation of the ammunition database and other proposals to combat gun violence. Some officials have credited the years-long delay in creating the database to a private agreement between former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration and Senate Republicans who were in control of the upper house after the law passed in 2013. Dinowitz plans to push the issue with Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office. He had not discussed the database with the governor as of Thursday’s hearing. Officials with the state Division of Criminal Justice Services, the New York State Police, the state Office of Information Technology Services declined to participate in Thursday’s hearing. “Some bureaucrats don’t like to be questioned,” Dinowitz said after the hearing. “They have an obligation to, in my opinion, to the Legislature when they’re asked to. I know that our new governor is certainly very committed to openness and transparency. Maybe they didn’t get the memo. They need to reconsider that and frankly if they don’t, that would be a real, a real slap in the face to the people of New York.” For more on this story, visit HudsonValley360.com

“We will be ready,” Zients said. “We will bring that vaccine to pediatricians’ offices, schools and community sites.” Hochul urged New York pediatricians to enroll in the state’s program to prepare to administer the COVID vaccine to children. The governor will hold a video conference call with pediatricians from around the state in the coming days to ensure they have an efficient federal delivery and distribution strategy. Children may be eligible to receive a coronavirus vaccine while at school, Hochul said. “This is going to be a gamechanger for us,” she said. “We’re going to be doing a lot of work now, but we have the confirmation that this is inevitable. It’s going to happen. ... So pediatricians, start getting ready. It’s coming. It’s coming, and it’s not a second too soon for us.” The average number of new U.S. coronavirus cases has dipped by 12% in a week to about 92,000, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said Wednesday. Hospitalizations are down 11% and deaths, which normally lag behind the other indicators, have declined by 5%. The state reported 4,658 new COVID cases Tuesday with a daily infection rate of 3.05% and 2.53% over the last seven days, according to the governor’s office. The North Country continues to have the state’s highest rate of new virus infections at 5.76% positive Tuesday. The Finger Lakes and Western New York regions have similar positivity rates at 4.75% and 4.62%, respectively. The Capital Region’s infection rate has hovered around 3.67% over the last three days. Thirty-two New Yorkers died from virus complications Tuesday. Tribune News Service contributed to this report.

HUDSON FILM PREMIERE... Indie Drama ‘SKIPPING STONES’ Co-Stars QUARTET of SCI-FI/HORROR FAVORITES... INDIE FILM DRAMA “SKIPPING STONES” CO-STARS QUARTET OF SCI-FI/HORROR FAVORITES — Chase Masterson, Michael Ironside, Daniel Hugh Kelly and Patricia Charbonneau (WINDHAM, NY resident) lend support to risingstar newcomers Nathaniel Ansbach and Gabrielle Kalomiris -HUDSON — The upcoming indie film Skipping Stones isn’t a sci-fi movie, but it features a quartet of familiar genre faces, including one actor playing a very, very different role than most sci-fi and horror fans associate him with. The drama stars relative newcomers Nathaniel Ansbach and Gabrielle Kalomiris, who are supported by the iconic Michael Ironside (Scanners, Total Recall, Starship Troopers), as well as Chase Masterson (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Yesterday Was a Lie, The Flash, Unbelievable!!!!!), Daniel Hugh Kelly (Cujo, Star Trek: Insurrection, From the Earth to the Moon,

Hardcastle & McCormick), and Patricia Charbonneau (RoboCop 2, Tales from the Crypt, Desert Hearts). Directed by S.J. Creazzo, Skipping Stones takes place nearly a decade after a tragic accident costs a young man his life, as his sister and best friend are still peeling back the layers of grief and guilt that come with being left behind. David (Ansbach) has returned to his small town to try and sort through the decisions he must make in order to move on to the next part of his life.

Ironside and Charbonneau portray Daniel’s parents, the Travers. Meanwhile, Amanda (Kalomiris) who stayed local, has also been unable to move forward. Feeling trapped under the weight of her parents’ grief and guilt, she also can’t escape the stigma that ties her to the tragedy that turned their community upside down. Masterson and Kelly play her parents, the McDowells. Skipping Stones explores the layers and depths of grief that come with healing after a life-altering catastrophe.

Spartans put away Cats; Wildcats out last Riverhawks Matt Fortunato Columbia-Greene Media

COXSACKIE — CoxsackieAthens hosted Wednesday evening’s Patroon Tournament games for boys soccer. The Greenville Spartans defeated the Catskill Cats 3-0 in the first game. Greenville had multiple opportunities at scoring early but deflections and shots going wide bailed out Catskill’s defense a few times so they could reset. The Cats cleared the ball

sufficiently on defense but were just a few steps behind the crisp passing attack by the Spartans’ possessions. The Spartans earned a corner that was cleared out with a header by the Catskill’s Daniel Liebowitz, and Bernard Davis followed it with another shot on net for Greenville but it went directly into keeper Daniel Forbes’ hands. The Cats answered with a corner kick of their own at the other end but the pass was headed over the net for a goal

kick. Catskill’s defense stayed disciplined and pressured Greenville enough to take the scoreless tie to halftime. The Spartans began the second half with greater urgency and put shots on goal on multiple possessions. Greenville finally broke through on the scoreboard on a soft shot by Joseph Davis, hitting the ball just slightly enough to get past Forbes who sold out on the play trying to block the shot. The Spartans took a 1-0 lead with 18 minutes on the clock

as they looked for more. Five minutes later, Forbes tried to punch the ball out on a free kick by the Spartans but he hit it straight up into the air and it stayed in the box. Benjamin Reinhard was there to capitalize on the mistake and found the back of the net for the score to make it 2-0 with under 12:00 to play.

Kyrie Irving breaks silence on decision to remain unvaccinated: ‘It’s bigger than the game’ Ben Golliver The Washington Post

One day after the Brooklyn Nets told Kyrie Irving that he could not play in games or participate in practices until he fulfilled the terms of New York City’s coronavirus vaccine mandate, the five-time all-star broke his silence, confirming that he remained unvaccinated and calling the decision a “personal choice” that was made without political motivations. Irving, who went on Instagram’s video streaming service to deliver his first public comments in more than two weeks, repeatedly said that he had no plans to retire and expressed hope that he would be able to rejoin Kevin Durant, James Harden and the rest of the Nets. But with Brooklyn’s season set to open Tuesday, he gave no indication that he plans to get vaccinated in the near future. “I never wanted to give up my passion, my love, my dream over this mandate and what’s going on in this world,” Irving said, on an extended Instagram Live broadcast. “I love the game. Sometimes you really have to make choices that ultimately can affect that. It’s unfortunate, but that’s where

given this talent to be able to perform on a high stage. But it’s not just about that at this point.

It’s bigger than the game.” The NBA does not have a vaccine mandate for players - the National Basketball Players Association opposed such efforts - but it is requiring its teams to comply with local mandates. Irving, 29, said he was caught off guard by New York City’s mandate and said that he was “uncomfortable” with the policy, which requires vaccination for members of the Nets and New York Knicks to be eligible to play in home games. “What would you do if you felt uncomfortable going into the season when you were promised that you would have exemptions or that you didn’t have to be forced to get the vaccine? This wasn’t an issue before the season started,” Irving said. “This wasn’t something I foresaw coming, or I prepared for it, or I had a chance to strategize on what was best for me and my family. I came into the season thinking I was just going to be able to play ball. ... Why are you putting it on me?” While Irving is the only member of the Nets who remains unvaccinated, he denied that he is anti-vaccine and expressed support for vaccinated See IRVING B3

Here are Nets’ options for replacing Kyrie Irving by committee Kristian Winfield New York Daily News

NEW YORK — Kyrie Irving is not walking through those Barclays Center (or practice court) doors. Until either Irving’s COVID-19 vaccination status or New York City’s vaccine mandate changes, the Nets are operating as if their superstar guard is no longer part of the team. He officially will not be a part-time player; he will either get vaccinated or watch from the sidelines. Which means someone else has big shoes to fill, and the Nets’ championship hopes may be a size too big for their feet. Three superstars are greater than two, and without Irving -- and yes, even with Kevin Durant and James Harden -- the Nets are the sum of their non-star parts. “I think just in general when ROBERT HANASHIRO/USA TODAY you lose a talent as great as Kyrie, we have to be tighter, we have to Brooklyn Nets forward Bruce Brown (1) drives to the basket between be more connected, we have to Los Angeles Lakers guards Talen Horton-Tucker (5) and Kent have guys play bigger roles and Bazemore (9) during the first quarter at Staples Center on Oct. 3. be more responsible with the details,” head coach Steve Nash said combinations that work for dif- the same defensive intensity as after Wednesday’s practice. “No ferent matchups.” Brown, if not more.

night.” Thrills for Mills It’s unlikely Patty Mills starts in place of Irving, but their Australian point guard will assuredly see more action with Irving out for the foreseeable future. The Nets brought him to Brooklyn to provide scoring punch off the bench; little did they know they’d need that punch so soon. “Obviously relatively new news, so I think it’s back to the drawing board to work out how we’re going to move forward with this,” Mills said after Wednesday’s practice. “Next man up, whoever it may be, but I think collectively, as a group, everyone’s here for that reason, to be able to do their part for the betterment of the team.” If Mills were to start, however, the move would cost Brooklyn’s second unit its floor general. He is also 6-1 and 20 pounds lighter than Carter, making the mismatch on defense even greater. Can the Nets go big? If the Nets intended on playing small with Griffin at the five and Durant at the four, Irving’s newly cemented absence gives them an alternative: Why not go big? Instead of adding another guard alongside Harden in the back court, they could add either LaMarcus Aldridge, Paul Millsap or Nic Claxton alongside Durant and Griffin in the front court. The Nets could also go big by starting Deandre Bembry alongside Harris and Durant on the wing. Aldridge, Millsap, Claxton and Bembry would each bring something different, whether that’s Aldridge’s rim protection or Claxton’s athletic switching. The Nets, however, may only go big in matchups that force them to. Brown said the team rarely practices with two bigs in a five-man unit. “I think so but not too much,” he said. “But a little bit here and there, yeah.” Rook to the rescue Nash has been openly against the idea of thrusting rookie sensation Cam Thomas into the fire. But the Nets can’t be picky now. Thomas has hit big shots in college, Summer League and preseason, and there’s no reason to believe the trend will stop any time soon. The biggest roadblock to Thomas’ playing time was a back court crowded by Irving and Harden. Now with just one of the two available for the foreseeable future, there’s no telling when the Nets might turn to their rookie scorer, nor how soon into the season he carves a role for himself.

Consistency the key as NBA introduces new Wilson ball for 2021 campaign Stefan Bondy New York Daily News

NEW YORK — The introduction of a new ball to professional sports has been met historically with skepticism and sometimes controversy. In baseball recently, modifications allegedly prompted ‘juiced balls,’ which led to more home runs. FIFA uses a different ball for every World Cup, and nearly every World Cup brings complaints and issues from players. In 2006, the NBA implemented a synthetic ball -- replacing the traditional leather -- and it was a disaster. “Whoever did that needs to be fired,” Shaquille O’Neal grumbled at the time. Beyond that, athletes are, by nature, habit-forming and superstitious. A difference in feel could throw a psyche -- and a jump shot -- off-kilter. With that in mind, the big change in NBA game ball manufacturers didn’t result in much of a change in the actual ball. Wilson, the company that will begin its multi-year deal with the NBA this season, made that a priority. “For the NBA and the players association -- I think everybody wanted consistency,” Wilson GM Kevin Murphy told the New York Daily News. “The idea behind the change wasn’t about fixing a problem, it was a bigger partnership transition. The ball on the court is the most important thing and we have to deliver. For us, consistency is king.”

Brooklyn Nets’ James Harden (13) dribbles the ball against the Philadelphia 76ers’ Georges Niang at the Wells Fargo Center on Monday in Philadelphia.

Of course, the logo is different. Spalding was the manufacturer for the last 37 years, which followed Wilson’s run for the NBA’s first 37 years. It’s a symmetrical timeline entering the league’s 75th season. But creating the new NBA ball started long before this season -- around April of 2020 -- and involved input from over 300 players. Murphy said there were five iterations of the ball. Some weren’t as popular. “The prototype we had last year was terrible, I thought. It wasn’t the same at all,” Knicks guard Evan Fournier said. “We basically had to give them some

feedback and obviously, it wasn’t good. Like, I remember the Wilson was so big and so thick, you could feel the difference in the ball. And as a shooter, it takes a lot of space obviously, so it wasn’t comfortable.” Fournier appreciates the final product. “They definitely changed it, and it feels the same as the old ball3/8,” Fournier said. “It really does.” The pandemic complicated the process for Wilson, which was reliant on player feedback but couldn’t meet face-to-face. Instead, they sent packages of balls to gyms and doorsteps, hoping

they’d be opened and used. It was a chase. “It was a pretty scientific process and to try to do it and not be in-person was the biggest challenge of all,” Murphy said. “It was calls to players, teams, equipment managers telling them, ‘it’s out on your front porch, go get it.’ Chasing samples all over the place. Trying to get them on video calls for feedback. It was remote control development.” Murphy added that the only miniscule difference from last season’s design is more ‘pebbles’ on the logo, or the dots that help with grip. Before going out to the NBA teams, the balls are also broken in by machines in Ohio that replicate dribbling the ball. The purpose is to soften the leather. “These differences are something you and I will never notice. But pros will notice,” Murphy said. “ A player3/8 would say with absolute conviction there were big differences and we couldn’t find them.” For acclimation, NBA teams were given the new balls for training over the summer. Knicks guard Alec Burks notices the slight differences but doesn’t think it will affect his game. “A basketball is a basketball. But I could see it affects a lot of different people,” Burks said. “It feels different. Something that you used for so long you’re always going to be a little bit hesitant but to me, it’s just a basketball.”

later to put the game out of reach for the Cats. With Greenville’s passing game still intact, they pressured Catskill for the rest of the clock and ran it down to zero to seal the victory 3-0. Maple Hill 1, C-A 0 In the second game of the evening, the Maple Hill Wildcats won a very close 1-0 game over the Coxsackie-Athens Riverhawks. The Wildcats opened the contest at their usual fast pace, but the Riverhawks were hip to their strategy and their defense was up to the task. C-A matched Maple Hill’s intensity on both sides of the ball and they forced turnovers and throw-ins throughout the first 15 minutes to disrupt the flow of the Wildcats’ offense. The Riverhawks had a golden opportunity down in the Wildcat box, when they shot it from the side of the net and past Maple Hill keeper Luke Hoffman. However after being missed by Hoffman, the ball rolled all the way across the goal line and out for a goal kick with no other attackers on the far side for the Riverhawks to clean it up. C-A had no issue regaining control of the ball but once they brought it to the middle of the field Maple Hill would take it right back. This stalemate in the first half came to a close with the

He also repeatedly expressed sympathy toward employees who have lost their jobs due to vaccine mandates at their workplaces. “I chose to be unvaccinated,” Irving said. “That was my choice. I would ask y’all to just respect that choice. I’m going to stay in shape, be ready to play and be ready to rock out with my teammates and be part of this whole thing. This is not a political thing here. It’s not about the NBA or any organization. It’s about my life and what I’m choosing to do.” Nets General Manager Sean Marks said Tuesday that Irving, who was eligible by league rules to play in road games in cities that do not have vaccine mandates, would be kept away from the team “until he is eligible to be a full participant.” Marks expressed respect for Irving’s choice, but added that Brooklyn would “not permit any member of our team to

Taconic Hills’ Grace Alvarez stopped 15 shots. “We moved the ball with speed today and generated a lot of opportunities on attack,” Rondout coach Nanette Simione said. “Our corners were effective, scoring our first 3 goals off of corners. We were happy with our overall play today.” Rondut improves 7-1 in the MHAL and 12-1 overall. Taconic Hills falls to 3-2-2 in the MHAL and 6-5-2 overall.

score still as it began, 0-0. The Riverhawks came out strong on defense again in the second half, but the Wildcats remained on the attack to keep Sam Mozzillo busy in the goalie box for C-A. The Riverhawks had a big chance to score on a breakaway, but Ryan Maurer’s steal was in vain because it was too far upfield for him to get any help in the box from his teammates. With under 20 minutes to go Mozzillo made another diving save in the clutch for C-A on a Wildcats free kick. Hoffman responded with a stop for Maple Hill on the other end. On a broken play with under 14 minutes on the clock, Gavin Haller broke the scoreless tie and scored to put the Wildcats on top 1-0, to the dismay of the home crowd. The Riverhawks struggled to put together plays on offense down the stretch with the Wildcats keeping their defense tight. C-A had a few chances with multiple corner kicks in the final ten minutes of regulation, but they yielded no results. After another big stop by Mozzillo with four minutes left, the Riverhawks had time for one more push downfield. Unfortunately for C-A, any attempts they made at passes in crunch time were interrupted and stolen by the Maple Hill defenders. The Wildcats were able to hold off the Riverhawks in the final seconds of the game and Maple Hill escaped with a tense 1-0 victory over Coxsackie-Athens.

Chatham 3, Hudson 2 (OT) CRARYVILLE — In the outer bracket of the Patroon Conference tournament, the No. 5 seeded Chatham Panthers clashed with the No. 6 Hudson Bluehawks. The game was played with intense passion and energy from the opening kickoff and never ceased. Hudson came out and put a dangerous ball into the box which caused chaos amongst

the Panthers backline, Hudson’s Ibrahim Malik ended the chaos with a clean strike into the net for the early 1-0 lead. Chatham got their composure back and not to long after, Miguel Cassarubias settled a ball out of the air and volleyed a strike past the keeper to even the match, 1-1. Hudson would come right back and with nice passing got into the box where they were

participate with part-time availability” because Nets Owner Joe Tsai and Marks believe “it is imperative that we continue to build chemistry as a team and remain true to our long-established values of togetherness and sacrifice.” Irving said that he felt he was being “utilized as an example” for his decision and that he was willing to live with whatever criticism comes his way. “We’ve got to stand together, not divided,” he said. “Now is not the time to be demonizing everybody for making a choice, for what’s best for their lives. ... I’m not an advocate for either side. I’m doing what’s best for me. I know the consequences here. If it means that I’m judged and demonized for that, that’s what it is.” The NBA announced last month that unvaccinated players will be fined if they are unable to play in games because of vaccine mandates, which will cost Irving roughly $380,000 per game - or more than $16 million of his $34.9 million annual salary. The Nets will continue to pay

Irving for road games, Marks said Tuesday, and that the “only salary that [Irving] loses is going to be for the home games.” “It’s not about the money, baby,” Irving said. “It’s not always about the money. It’s about choosing what’s best for you. You think I really want to lose money? You think I really want to give up on my dream of going after a championship? You think I really want to just give up my job? ... Hopefully all this can be figured out in the future and I’m able to play the game that I love and go after a championship with my team and be with my teammates.” Marks said that the Nets will “welcome [Irving] back with open arms” if he decides to get vaccinated. Per NBA rules, Irving would need to wait 14 days after receiving his final shot to be deemed fully vaccinated and cleared under the league’s health protocols. Irving hasn’t conducted an interview with reporters since Brooklyn’s media day Sept. 27, but he participated in Nets training camp, which

was held in San Diego, and attended - but did not play in the team’s preseason opener against the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center. Though Irving had been barred from practicing with his teammates at the Nets’ HSS Training Center in Brooklyn, New York City authorities ruled Friday that the practice facility was a “private office building” and thus exempt from the mandate. Irving joined his teammates for an outdoor fan event Saturday and a practice Sunday before the Nets sent him home on Tuesday. “I had to stop running away from using my voice and using my platform to speak on what’s true and what’s mine,” Irving said. “Nobody is going to hijack my voice. Nobody is going to take the power away from me that I have speaking on these things. Don’t believe that I’m retiring. Don’t believe that I’m going to give up this game for a vaccine mandate or staying unvaccinated. Don’t believe any of that s---, man.”

Chatham’s John Wisseman would gather himself between the pipes and commit to his left, and so did the Hudson kicker and Chatham got out of trouble with an outstanding save. Chatham seemed to ride that momentum and Cassarubias would find a great ball through the Hudson backs to a sprinting Tobias Jeralds who tucked it away for the 2-1 halftime lead. Coming out of halftime, Hudsons passing game was on point and they were able to create

some dangerous opportunities but Chatham held strong. With around eight minutes left in the match, Hudson’s Dejuan Bailey would smash a 40 yrd direct kick straight into the opposite corner to even up the match and send it to a sudden death overtime. The game would be decided when Hudson outsprinted a Chatham defender and played the ball back to his keeper, who picked it up, resulting in an indirect kick, which Chatham’s Alex Chudy would connect on a rolling pass and finish to earn Chatham the 3-2 victory.

USMNT rally past Costa Rica thanks to own goal Field Level Media

With its CONCACAF World Cup qualifying chances dimming, the U.S. men’s national team rallied for a 2-1 victory in Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday thanks to an own goal by Costa Rican backup goalkeeper Leonel Moreira in the 66th minute. Keysher Fuller put Costa Rica ahead in the first minute before Sergino Dest got the equalizer in the 25th. The U.S. (3-1-2, 11 points) entered the match in second place among the eight teams on goal differential, but a loss could have possibly dropped the squad out of a top-three qualifying spot with eight matches left. The win temporarily moved the Americans into a tie atop the group with Mexico, which played at El Salvador later Thursday. The go-ahead goal was a confluence of two players not expecting to be in the spotlight. Tim Weah’s shot hit the right post, then Moreira’s left arm, then the post again

before it spun across the goal line. Weah was a last-minute starter when Paul Arriola sustained a groin injury during warmups. Costa Rican goalkeeper Keylor Navas, who plays for Paris Saint-Germain in France, left at halftime with an adductor strain. The goal was set up by Dest after the ball deflected to him off a Costa Rican player. Dest also scored a spectacular tying goal in the first half, powering an 18-yard shot from the top of the right side of the penalty area in the far top corner of the net. Costa Rica (1-2-3, 6 points) stunned the Columbus crowd with the opening salvo. U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter left himself open to criticism when he opted to give goalkeeper Zack Steffen of England’s Manchester City his first start of the qualifiers over Matt Turner. Berhalter coached Steffen when both were with the Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer.

milestone goals as Caps top Rangers Field Level Media Alex Ovechkin scored twice in the third period to move into sole possession of fifth place on the NHL’s all-time goal list Wednesday night, leading the Washington Capitals to a 5-1 win over the visiting New York Rangers in the season opener for both teams. Ovechkin, who signed a five-year contract with the Capitals in July, is nine goals away from tying Brett Hull for fourth place and 162 goals behind the all-time leader, Wayne Gretzky. T.J. Oshie, Justin Schultz and Hendrix Lapierre (in his NHL debut at age 19) also scored for the Capitals. Washington goalie Vitek Vanecek made 23 saves. Chris Kreider scored in the third period for the Rangers. Goalie Alexandar Georgiev recorded 22 saves. The win also produced a milestone for Capitals coach Peter Laviolette.

Morgan Rielly and Mitchell Marner had the assists. Pierre Engvall scored a power-play goal for Toronto after Montreal’s Jonathan Drouin produced the game’s first tally. Maple Leafs goalie Jack Campbell made 31 saves while the Canadiens’ Jake Allen stopped 28 shots. The Canadiens eliminated the Maple

Leafs with a seven-game victory in the first round of the playoffs last season. Avalanche 4, Blackhawks 2 Gabriel Landeskog, Bowen Byram and Nazem Kadri each had a goal and an assist, Jack Johnson also scored, and Colorado beat Chicago in Denver. Colorado scored the first three goals in a game that was the season opener for both teams. Darcy Kuemper made 32 saves for Colorado, which played without head coach Jared Bednar and center

Nathan MacKinnon, both away from the team due to COVID-19 protocols. Dominik Kubalik and Connor Murphy scored goals for Chicago. Goalie Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 32 shots in his Blackhawks debut. Oilers 3, Canucks 2 (SO) Kyle Turris scored the winning goal in the fifth round of the shootout to give host Edmonton a victory over Vancouver in both teams’ season opener. Jesse Puljujarvi and Zach Hyman also tallied for the Oilers, who received a 36-save performance from goaltender Mike Smith, on top of stopping four of five opponents in the shootout. Oilers captain Connor McDavid collected two assists. The Canucks erased a 2-0 deficit with third-period goals from Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Quinn Hughes. Vancouver goalie Thatcher Demko made 32 saves. Ducks 4, Jets 1 Mason McTavish had a goal and an assist in his NHL debut, John Gibson made 33 saves and Anaheim beat visiting Winnipeg in the season opener for both teams.

New York Daily News

NEW YORK — Round and round and round we go. For the fifth time in a five-year span, the Mets are searching for another manager. Following Terry Collins’ stretch at the helm from 2011-17, the Mets have gone through three managers and recorded losing records in three of their last four seasons. From Mickey Callaway to Carlos Beltran (who never managed a game) to Luis Rojas, the Amazin’s are 266-280 in that span. The club has hired three consecutive first-time managers since October 2017 with zero playoff appearances to show for it. Now, Mets owner Steve Cohen is looking for an individual who will not only stay with the organization for a while, but most importantly, will win. Keep in mind, the manager who lands the job will depend entirely on whom the Mets hire for president of baseball operations. Here’s an early look at the names that have surfaced for Mets managerial candidates: Ron Washington Washington, currently Atlanta’s thirdbase coach, won two American League pennants as manager of the Rangers from 20072014. Washington went 664-611 across eight years as skipper in Texas and made it to the World Series in 2010 and 2011. The 69-yearold has coached for the Braves since 2017, becoming the club’s infield defense guru, and is widely credited for the development of Atlanta’s young stars. Washington is an accomplished, veteran managerial candidate for the Mets who is already familiar with the NL East and the organization. He served as a minor-league coach for the Mets for five years in the 1990s. He was a finalist for the Braves’ managerial vacancy in 2016 before the gig went to Brian Snitker, who currently holds the position. Washington is again being considered by the Padres, according to MLB Network,

MICHAEL MCLOONE/USA TODAY

Atlanta Braves third base coach Ron Washington walks in the dugout before game two of the 2021 NLDS against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field on Saturday.

and he was the runner-up in 2019 behind San Diego’s former skipper Jayce Tingler. If the Mets are interested in giving Washington a call, the club will wait after the Braves are out of the playoffs. Atlanta advanced to the NLCS this week, and if the team goes all the way to the Fall Classic, the Mets may have to wait until November for a potential interview. Again, whether Atlanta advances or not, the Mets will secure a head of baseball ops before deciding on a manager. Buck Showalter The veteran skipper has not managed since 2018 with the Orioles, and he’s made broadcast TV appearances ever since. In a recent interview with The Athletic, Showalter said he doesn’t consider himself retired and he’s certainly open to managing again. Moreover, Showalter said he would listen if the Mets called about their managerial vacancy. “I don’t talk about jobs that aren’t currently open, so the ones that are, it’s always an honor just to be mentioned,” he said. “They got a lot of good, qualified people to

pick from. I don’t know (if I will be asked to interview). That’s not my decision, but I’d listen if they (the Padres or Mets) called. Like I said, it’s an honor just to be mentioned.” Showalter, 65, has managed the Yankees, Diamondbacks, Rangers and Orioles in a 20-year span from 1992-2018 with a few hiatuses in between. His name frequently pops up in discussions for manager openings, with his pitfall potentially being that he’s too old-school in a modern, analytics-based process. He was named Manager of the Year in 1994, 2004, and 2014 and has a 1,551-1,517 career record. Joe McEwing The former super-utility Mets player from 2000-2004 was a finalist for the team’s managerial vacancy in 2017 before Callaway was hired for the position. His name again surfaced in 2020, after the Mets parted ways with Beltran, but he did not receive an interview as the club promoted internally, going with Rojas for manager. McEwing, 48, is currently learning under Tony La Russa’s wing as the third-base coach for the White Sox. He has coached in Chicago since 2012, plus managerial stints in the White Sox minor-league system since 2008. The Mets would be taking a chance on McEwing, though, as he would become their fourth-straight first-time manager if he was hired for the position. Carlos Beltran Speaking of chances, Beltran would require a second chance from the Mets if he was to be considered for their managerial opening again. The former Mets center fielder and nine-time All-Star took the helm for the Mets for just two months from November 2019 to January 2020 before becoming the third manager to be fired for his involvement in the Astros’ 2017 sign-stealing scandal, joining Alex Cora and A.J. Hinch. Both Cora and Hinch have returned to manage the Red Sox and Tigers, respectively, after serving one-year suspensions, and many in the industry believe it’s time for Beltran to follow suit.

Giants’ Jones in pads, sprinting, taking snaps in concussion recovery Pat Leonard New York Daily News

NEW YORK — Giants quarterback Daniel Jones unexpectedly already looks like he will be a go for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams. Jones will be listed as “did not practice” for Wednesday. Head coach Joe Judge even said prior to practice that Jones would not be on the field. But a strange scene unfolded: as Judge was still addressing the media, Jones walked out onto the practice field with his pads, started warming up, jogging and taking snaps as the second-string QB. Then Jones was sprinting full speed, taking real snaps and making normal throws on the back field as his teammates practiced. Judge said before practice that Jones was an option to play Sunday. “From all the information we have, yes, if he’s cleared medically,” the coach said. But Jones’ return to significant on-field work was a surprisingly rapid progression given his Sunday concussion against the Dallas Cowboys. There are five steps for a player to clear the concussion protocol, per the league’s collective bargaining agreement with the NFL Players’ Association. Step one is rest and recovery. Step two adds light

aerobic exercise. Step three incorporates continued aerobic exercise and introduces strength training. Step four enters the player into football specific activities. Step five puts the player through full football activity and clearance. By that terminology, Jones is already step four of that process in just his third day since the head injury. A player has to complete each step “without a recurrence of signs or symptoms of concussion,” with his neurocognitive testing returning to baseline levels. And if a player’s testing doesn’t return to baseline levels after an increase in activity, the typical interval to repeat that testing is 48 hours. Obviously it would be encouraging for the Giants (1-4) to get Jones back, given how tough it will be to beat the visiting L.A. Rams (4-1) even if he plays. Still, it was unexpected that he would do this much on the field Wednesday. It’s not the Green Bay Packers clearing Davante Adams from a concussion just minutes after being knocked out in a game, but it is surprising. Elsewhere on the injury front, RB Saquon Barkley (sprained left ankle) and WR Kenny Golladay (hyperextended knee) did not practice, with both expected to miss multiple weeks.

Bridesmaid takes heat for missing shower Dear Abby, My daughter “Melanie” is very close with a cousin she grew up with. This cousin is getting married in five months, and Melanie will be a bridesmaid. The shower date was announced. Then my sonin-law’s best friend from childDEAR ABBY hood announced his wedding date. The wedding is on the same date as my niece’s shower. The events are about four hours apart, so it isn’t possible for Melanie to go to both. She told her cousin she was sorry but she felt she needed to attend the wedding with her husband, who is in his friend’s wedding party. Melanie will attend the bachelorette party in Vegas and all the other events for her cousin. The bride’s sister is giving my daughter a hard time, saying she “can’t believe” Melanie would miss the shower. Melanie is now afraid she’s jeopardizing her relationship with her cousins, as they have told her how upset they are. I support her decision to attend the wedding and skip the shower. There are four other bridesmaids, and another one is also unable to attend. What would you do, and how can I be helpful to my daughter without causing a bigger rift in the family? Wedding Drama, Drama, Drama

down the street. She was older, and I could tell by her posture she was struggling. I offered to drive her so she didn’t have to walk. It turned out she was walking from a bus stop to a transit bus to catch it for work. She works in a different county than she lives in, so the first bus doesn’t take her all the way. Long story short, I have been driving this lady to work from the bus stop every morning, picking her up from work and taking her home, picking her up on the weekend days she works, and then transporting her to and from work. (I don’t work on the weekends.) She lives about 10 miles from me. She has not once offered to pay for gas, which doesn’t bother me, but she has recently started asking me for money. I’ve purchased coffees for her on several occasions and driven her to stores only to find out I’m paying for the purchases. I have picked her up, and without any warning she says she needs to go to other places, too. She doesn’t have a car, doesn’t earn a lot of money, etc. I think I need to stop driving her, but I know I’ll feel guilty because she has no one to help her. How do I end this one-sided relationship? Miffed In Michigan

The pressure your daughter is receiving from her cousins is inappropriate. She isn’t obligated to attend any event she doesn’t wish to, and her reason for skipping the shower is a valid one. She should choose a gift for her cousin, have it delivered and apologize ONCE for being unable to be there in person. Continuing to provide emotional support to your daughter is the best way you can be helpful to her.

The woman you have so generously befriended appears to be a bottomless pit. You were kind to her, and she is taking advantage of your generosity. It appears you have work to do on creating boundaries. Tell her you will no longer be driving her and be clear about the reasons. If you don’t, there is no end to what she will ask you for. Trust me, once you draw the line, this woman will manage just as she managed before.

Horoscope

Zits

By Stella Wilder Born today, you possess one trait that immediately identifies you as a Libra native, and yet among all Libra natives, you embody this more than anyone else — and that is your almost fanatical desire for parity in all things. No matter what, you want things to be fair for all people, in all situations — and when you find that they are not you will apply yourself to a study of the situation so that you can eventually identify the cause of the central disparity at work and strive to correct it. You don’t always have to be front and center, directing the energies of others or applying a direct influence on the course of events in your daily life. As long as you are making some kind of impact, you can be perfectly happy working in the background — and often this allows you to do more than you would be able to if you were in the spotlight! Also born on this date are: Friedrich Nietzsche, philosopher and writer; Virgil, ancient Roman poet; P.G. Wodehouse, writer and humorist; Ncuti Gatwa, actor; Penny Marshall, actor and director; Brennan Mejia, actor. To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16 LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You may encounter a wolf in sheep’s clothing today, but quick thinking on your part allows you to circumvent any danger — and save others, too. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — The minute you think you’ve done enough, it will become apparent that you’ve not done enough. The day may be long, but it can be rewarding. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You

mustn’t shirk your responsibilities today. Do what you are told and what you have promised and, by all means, don’t back out entirely. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You may have to continue working hard today while someone close to you sets it all aside and enjoys some downtime. Don’t be jealous! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Now is the time for you, and all those like you, to do what you have promised. It may fall to you to rally others around a common banner. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You get a great deal of benefit from watching the world go by today — but make no mistake, your turn will come, and you’ll have to get busy! ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You’ve been long tempted by someone’s occupation, and though you may not want to make a career change, you can experiment freely today. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You may find yourself with more time on your hands than expected today, and you’ll want to have a plan for how to use it. Don’t dilly-dally. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — A certain choice is yours to make today that will affect others as well as yourself. Never fear — those involved know the burden you bear. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You may not have the opportunity to finish what you start today, but you can surely get much of the work done before the dinner bell. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You mustn’t let another’s inexperience keep you from doing what you know how to do today. It may be that you have to go it alone for a time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — A chorus of “no” is likely to fade today, and you’ll be left with nothing but your own solo “yes” to respond to — and much can happen as a result.

The bidding:

SOUTH WEST NORTH 1♠ 2NT* 4♠ *Both minors, at least 5-5

South ruffing the third. Trumps were drawn in two rounds. West was known to be at least 5-5 in the minors from his bid, so he started with at most one heart. A singleton jack in the West hand would let the good times roll. Many declarers catered to a possible eight or nine singleton by cashing dummy’s king of hearts first. When the eight fell, they continued with a low heart and double finessed East out of his jack and nine of hearts to bring home 10 tricks. One declarer, long-time French star JeanLouis Stoppa, found an extra chance that cost nothing to try. Before starting on hearts, he led a low diamond to dummy’s queen, winning the trick when West ducked his ace. The contract was now cold regardless of the size of West’s singleton. In fact, it was cold even if West started with a heart void. Stoppa cashed the king of hearts and exited with a diamond to his king and West’s ace. West had to yield a ruff-sluff and the contract came home. Very nicely done! West cannot be criticized for his bid, but once again we must note that the two-suited bid drew a roadmap for declarer in the play.
