EARLTON — A large vacant house was destroyed by fire on Saturday afternoon in Earlton, fire officials said.

Eleven fire companies from Greene and Albany counties, were involved in fighting the

stubborn blaze, either at the scene, or on standby.

At about 4 p.m., Greene County 911 sent Earlton Fire Department to 180 Gayhead Earlton Road, after receiving several reports from passing motorists, that a building was on fire.

The first firefighters to arrive reported the structure was completely engulfed in flames.

“It was a tough fire to fight,” Earlton Fire Chief Pat Donovan said Monday. “It was a large, vacant structure that was completely surrounded by very See FIRE A2

CAIRO — After a year of hybrid classes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, instruction is slated to return to a fully inperson format this year, with protocols in place to protect students and staff as virus transmission rates remain high in Greene County at this time.

“All Cairo-Durham students, pre-K through grade 12, will return to the inperson learning environment five days

per week,” according to the district’s plan. “There will be no hybrid schedules combining in-person and remote learning. The district is prioritizing in-person instruction for all students as we believe that is the best learning environment.”

If school buildings are closed due to COVID-19 during the school year, the district has plans in place to shift to virtual learning, but at this time students will return to the classroom in person.

With classes slated to start Sept. 7, the

Cairo-Durham Central School District unveiled its preliminary reopening plan for the 2021-22 school year.

The plan was released by the district Aug. 25.

The plan may be modified as public health conditions and state and federal guidance change throughout the school year, according to the plan. Protocols are being put in place using school reopening guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the

Chanting ‘stop the shot,’ parents protest mandates

Johnson Newspaper Corp.

ALBANY — New York voices are growing louder in protest to statewide COVID-19 mandates with up to 1,000 parents and caregivers of school-aged children rallying outside the Capitol over the weekend demanding face masks be a personal choice for each family when classes resume next week.

Parents came out in force from all areas of the state Sunday afternoon, marching around the building before gathering in front of the steps at East Capitol Park after The Health Department issued an emergency regulation directive late Friday requiring public and private school students, faculty and staff to wear masks inside school buildings, effective immediately.

Masks will also be required of any person age 2 and older entering a school building.

“I want to thank everybody who’s gathered here today to stand here for freedom,” Charissa Mayer, an Altamont

COURTESY OF CHARISSA MAYER FOR NEW SCOTLAND TOWN BOARD CAMPAIGN

Hundreds of parents, teachers and caregivers of students from across New York gathered in front of the state Capitol in Albany on Sunday afternoon to protest the Health Department’s directive requiring every person over age 2 to wear a mask in school buildings for the 2021-22 academic year.

mother of two school-aged boys running for New Scotland Town Board, said

Sunday. “Freedom is the power or right to act, speak or think what one wants

without restraint. ... This is not our current reality. Unfortunately, our elected officials and state local government [are doing] all they can to infringe upon our rights and our freedoms. They do not lead by example, but rather by force.

“They do not listen to the concerns of their constituents,” Mayer added. “The government works for us!”

The Health Department’s new directive was expected after Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a K-12 school mask mandate and COVID vaccine requirement for teachers were imminent.

Mayer, a registered nurse, argued statewide COVID-19 mandates and regulations, and especially the most recent mask-wearing requirement violates personal rights guaranteed under the state and federal constitutions.

ability to prevent widespread infection within the school district,” according to the plan.

Remote learning will only be made available for students deemed medically vulnerable and requires sufficient medical documentation. The deadline to request a medical exemption for fully virtual instruction has passed.

Individuals ages 12 and up are eligible to be inoculated against the virus. Gov. Kathy Hochul said last week she plans to require teachers and staff to be vaccinated or face weekly testing for the virus.

“We are working to require vaccinations for all school personnel with an option to test out weekly,” Hochul said Aug. 24.

The district recommends, but does not require, students be vaccinated.

thick vegetation,” Donovan said.

The condition of the house made fighting the fire more difficult, as the building has been decaying for a long time, Donovan said.

He estimated that the house has been vacant for more than 10 years.

Earlton fire officials put in

their family physician to ask questions about COVID-19 vaccine options,” according to the district. “Although not 100% effective in preventing COVID-19, the available vaccines are the best layer of protection to lessen the harmful effects of this virus (i.e. hospitalization and death) and remain our best option to minimize disruptions in our educational programs.”

Universal masking will be required while indoors on school grounds and on the bus, regardless of vaccination status, due to the high transmission rates of the Delta variant of COVID-19 and because children under age 12 are not eligible for the vaccine at this time, according to the district. Face coverings will be optional outdoors.

Organized mask breaks with appropriate social distancing will be provided during the school day, under the plan.

The district is planning on offering sports and other extracurricular activities this fall. Student athletes may be

required to undergo COVID-19 testing, especially for sports at higher risk for virus transmission. The district plans to finalize those plans shortly.

The CDC recommends schools in high-transmission zones cancel high-risk sports, including football, cheerleading and volleyball. Greene County was labeled a “red,” or high-risk, zone as of Aug. 22.

“The Athletics Department is conferring with other schools in our league to examine this requirement,” according to the plan. “At this time, vaccination is not required to participate in fall sports; however, it is strongly encouraged.”

Unlike last year, student temperature screenings or screening questionnaires at school will not be required this year as they are no longer recommended by the CDC. Staff members may be required to continue completing the electronic selfattestation form about their health status.

Students and staff who are

ill or showing COVID-19 symptoms should stay home, according to the plan. Symptoms of COVID-19 infection include fever, cough and new loss of taste or smell, along with shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.

The district will hold two virtual meetings this week with specific information on individual schools. An online meeting will be held Tuesday at 6 p.m. to discuss the reopening at Cairo-Durham Elementary School, and a second meeting will be held Wednesday at 6 p.m. regarding Cairo-Durham Middle/High School. Visit the district website at cairodurham. org for more information on attending the remote meetings.

More details about the district’s reopening plan are expected to be released at the school-specific meetings Tuesday and Wednesday.

a request for mutual aid from neighboring fire departments.

A site was established at a pond on Gayhead Earlton Road to fill tankers, which brought water to several portable pools set up at the fire scene to pump water, Donovan said.

Fire police closed the road to traffic while emergency crews worked.

Thick black smoke from the fire could be seen from miles away.

Medway-Grapeville Fire Department arrived with its rehab trailer. The trailer was used by

paramedics during the incident.

Additional manpower was requested to respond to the scene.

There were no reported injuries to firefighters, Donovan said.

The fire took nearly six hours to put out, with most mutualaid companies being released, just before 10 p.m.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation. It is being handled by the Greene County Fire Investigation Team, Donovan said.

Fire companies that assisted Earlton at the scene included: Medway-Grapeville, Greenville, Coxsackie Hose Co. No. 3, New Baltimore and West Athens.

Fire companies placed on standby included: Athens, D.M. Hamilton, Coeymans, and Westerlo.

Also assisting at the scene were Coxsackie Amkbulance, Greenville Ambulance, Greene County Paramedics, state police, and the Greene County Fire Coordinator’s Office.

“Parents are saying COVID is not a problem in kids, but that is not accurate,” Shaw said Monday. “Children are less likely to seek testing and medical care because they are less likely to be seriously ill, but we know children get infected and they can get infected to similar rates as adults. Fortunately, children don’t get as sick as often as older people, but they can still transmit infection.”

Children have started to die from COVID-19 at higher rates since the emergence of the more highly transmissible delta variant, Shaw said.

Children who catch COVID can also develop serious complications and side effects if they contract the virus, regardless of their severity of symptoms, such as Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome that causes vital organs or body parts to become inflamed.

“No vaccine for children under 12 years of age means those children will be the most vulnerable to infection,” Shaw said. “We need to take every step we can in schools to mitigate the risk of infection for school-aged children, for students and staff and that means masking.”

N-95 masks protect against COVID transmission the best, compared to cloth face coverings, Shaw said, but any covering is better and more safe than none.

She compared the decision to wearing a helmet or seat belt to save a life.

“You work with the best you have,” Shaw said. “Why would you put yourself at risk when you have an option to mitigate that risk? The same principle applies here.”

Sunday’s rally was at least the fourth of its kind since June. Joy, Mayer and other parents organized a rally demanding the face mask requirement be rescinded at the end of the 202021 school year.

Mayer chastised the state for inconsistent policies.

“The only place they have to wear a mask is in school,” Mayer continued of her young boys.

“I can take them to church, the

grocery store or a restaurant [without a mask]. It’s lunacy to me.”

Mayer has concerns about the COVID vaccine and impending mandates for teachers, state workers and other requirements to get the shot.

State school reopening protocols are based on COVID guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the state Education Department.

“The CDC is not a law-making branch of government,” Mayer said. “They are there to issue guidance.”

Assemblyman Chris Tague, R-Schoharie, introduced legislation June 9 to prevent state agencies from mandating mask-wearing requirements for healthy children under the age of 18 and rescind the current rules in place in schools, summer camps and similar settings.

The measure would not apply to medical facilities.

“This country was built on the constitutional freedom of choice,” Tague said Monday.

“I think that parents are the bosses of their children, and they should have the right to say whether or not they want their child to wear a mask or not. When government starts to tell parents what they can and can’t do with their children, that’s a serious problem. Parents should be able to raise their children the way they see fit.”

Sen. Jim Tedisco, R-Glenville, sponsors the counterpart measure in the Senate.

Democrats in the majority of both houses of Legislature have not advanced either bill, which is largely divided along party lines.

Tague, who has supported ending the statewide mask mandate for months, could not

attend Sunday’s rally. The Capital Region assemblymember chairs the Schoharie County Republican Party, which held its annual barbecue during the same time.

“When we start mandating what you can and can’t do with your children, we’re no longer America,” he added. “We’re no longer the home of the brave and the land of the free when we start to trespass on people’s rights.”

Parents and student caregivers have rallied to fight COVID mask and vaccine mandates at the state Capitol in July and Sunday’s for August in addition to the two events in June.

Central New York Informed, Unmask New York School Children Now, Long Island Loud Majority led Sunday’s rally.

Some health workers who are members of the state Nurses Association were also in attendance.

Subsequent rallies are planned after school resumes next week. An official date has not been set.

Mayer encouraged supporters to watch the Unmask New York School Children Now and Charissa Mayer - For New Scotland Town Board Facebook pages for details.

Rob Astorino and Mayer, whose two sons, 8-year-old Nathan and 10-year-old Caleb, are about to begin third and fifth grades in the Voorheesville Central School District.

Hundreds of parents, children, school board members, local officials, nurses and health workers — up to a reported 1,000 — in attendance held signs “Coercion is not consent,” “I trust Jesus, not science. Stop the shot,” “Pro-’merica, antivaccine mandate” and “This is your test. Wake up!”

Mayer and other state officials have been flooded with calls from parents concerned about vaccine and mask mandates, urging for a choice.

“People should have a choice and it shouldn’t be mandated on anyone,” Mayer said. “I’m a health professional and there are several health professional out there that agree with me.”

Mayer argued masks, especially cloth face coverings, are ineffective in protecting against the spread of the novel coronavirus and expressed concern about young children being forced to wear them, impacting their speech and social development or worries about getting overheated in the summer months.

Dr. Jana Shaw, professor of pediatrics and pediatric infectious disease specialist at SUNY Upstate Medical University said the health-related mandates are not made to be restrictive, but to protect the public as a whole.

The COVID-19 vaccine is not approved for children under 12, or the majority of school-aged students. Face masks, she said, citing a study by Justin Lessler with Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, are one of seven layers of protection shown to best prevent students from spreading COVID to others, or potentially high-risk parents and relatives when they come home from classes.

After absence, Youth Fair barbecue returns

By Sam Raudins Columbia-Greene Media

GREENVILLE — After its conspicuous absence in July, the Greene County Youth Fair is hosting its traditional barbecue as a fundraiser this weekend.

Greene County Youth Fair President Alex Johnk said at a Greene County Legislature meeting July 7 the barbecue that usually accompanies the festivities would not be held.

Johnk stressed during the fair season the focus on the work of the young people after losing an in-person fair in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This Saturday, the fair will offer a Brooks’ House of Barb-Que chicken dinner for $13 and a rib dinner for $14 at its drive-through fundraiser at the Greenville Pavilion, according to an announcement from the fair. Meals are firstcome, first-served until it is sold out. The sale begins at 3:30 p.m.

All proceeds benefit the Youth Fair, Johnk said. The

Prize winners show off their accolades at the conclusion of the Greene County Youth Fair.

Youth Fair is among the few around the country that has free admission, according to the fair’s website. Each barbecue raises about $2,500.

Johnk said before the fair kicked off that the company,

Brooks House of Bar-b-Que, which is based in Oneonta, is difficult to book, and the fair gets busy and crowded.

“One of the things we’ve been doing a little differently this year is we’ve been doing

barbecues in the Greenville Pavilion throughout the year as fundraisers,” Johnk said. “It’s been a little hard to go out and ask community members for donations during the pandemic, especially

with a lot of people closed, so we decided to do a chicken barbecue fundraiser. We decided that was a great way to make some money as well as help everybody out.”

Greene County Legislator Harry Lennon, D-Cairo, said at the meeting the fair’s barbecue usually takes place on Friday nights.

“That’s usually a big draw,” he said.

Youth Fair Vice President Jessica Winoski said the barbecue is a perennially successful event that organizers enjoy putting on.

Winoski said organizers are excited to see fair supporters again. At the last barbecue, she wore a chicken suit for patrons, although she won’t be able to attend this year.

“We have tons of people who come just to support the Youth Fair,” she said.

Winoski said the Strut Ur Stuff event at Milk Run in East Durham Sunday is also accepting donations to benefit the youth fair.

Oven catches fire in Catskill

By Bill Williams Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — Quick action by firefighters Saturday morning kept an oven fire from spreading to a home.

At about 9:54 a.m., Greene County 911 sent Catskill Fire Company to 81 Route 23A, after residents of the home reported that food in their oven was on fire.

The three occupants evacuated the building.

When fire officials arrived, they found smoke in the residence, and requested mutual-aid assistance from neighboring fire

OUR VIEW

Expand rental assistance How does a man promise to provide his personal information, including his name, employment and income to a potential landlord, yet never respond to repeated requests to provide it, remain in the residence for at least 15 months and stiff the renters out of thousands of dollars without fear of eviction?

The answer: Some tenants are abusing the state’s eviction moratorium.

New York’s small landlords are taking out second mortgages, cashing out life insurance policies and other last-resort efforts to stay afloat as they fight to gain COVID-19 assistance promised to satisfy millions of dollars in delinquent rents incurred over the last 17 months from the coronavirus pandemic.

Steve and Kathy Nagy, of New Baltimore, are more than $13,100 in arrears on their rental property at 1164 Broadway in Albany because a man not on the lease stayed in an upstairs apartment without paying rent for 15 months under the eviction moratorium, which expires Tuesday.

Top state leaders last week discussed how to address the eviction expiration date after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a federal moratorium on evictions last Thursday.

Gov. Kathy Hochul is one of them.

“I am in talks with the Senate Majority Leader and Assembly Speaker to call a special session to address the impending eviction crisis, given the Supreme Court’s decision,” Hochul said Friday. “Our teams will be working through the weekend to address how best to deliver relief to renters and homeowners in need as quickly as possible.”

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo enacted the moratorium March 15, 2020 to safeguard residential and commercial tenants who could not pay rent due to financial hardships

caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. But what started as protection turned into peril.

The Nagys managed to serve the tenant with papers last September, but the illegal squatter said “he knew his rights.” He could not be evicted because of the ongoing eviction moratorium.

A bill sponsored by Sen. James Skoufis, D-Woodbury, would expand rental assistance eligibility to landlords who have made a good-faith effort to contact a tenant and assist them in applying for relief, or if the tenant has already vacated the residence. The measure passed both houses of the state Legislature this session, but has been awaiting a governor’s signature.

The Nagys’s case is not unique, said Debbie Pusatere, president of the New York Capital Region Apartment Association. Pusatere, a small landlord, has spent the pandemic speaking with small landlords across the state faced with the same issue. She is owed more than $150,000 in arrears from 65 tenants.

A law with good intentions has been subverted by dishonest tenants taking full advantage of their middle-class landlords.

Small landlords and renters alike are feeling the pinch as they try to access rental assistance program funds. They are New Yorkers, including in Greene and Columbia counties, who have lost income during the pandemic through no fault of their own.

Legislation that makes economic sense for both landlords and tenants should be a top priority for the new governor. Her action needs to be swift to sign the bill and alleviate the stress on small landlords, finally moving millions of dollars that remain hanging in the balance to make them whole.

Haiti is desperate. Americans can and should help. (c) 2021,The Washington Post ·

In Haiti, it seems as if the aftershocks never stop.

There have been scores of the seismic variety since the earthquake that shook the country’s southwestern peninsula Aug. 14, killing more than 2,200, injuring and maiming thousands more, and leaving tens of thousands homeless, many living on the street. Now there is rising fury at the listless response by an interim government that lacks political legitimacy and resources. Neither the temblor, nor the tropical storm that followed it, has moderated the terror and gang violence that plagues Haitians - and has interfered with what modest relief efforts are underway.

Haiti, appallingly poor and chronically hurting, is desperate. In sizable towns and remote villages, houses are collapsed or unsafe for dwelling. Hundreds of schools have been badly damaged or destroyed, leaving tens of thousands of children, at a conservative estimate, with little prospect of education in the coming months. In areas reeling from the earthquake, hospitals, too, are partially or fully in ruins - and this in a country where health care was already badly inadequate.

The disasters have also battered the country’s wobbly infrastructure, leaving roads nearly impassable and water supplies fouled, in some places by unrecovered bodies. A resurgence of cholera - introduced by Nepalese peacekeepers after another, even more massive quake in 2010 - is a threat.

International relief efforts in Haiti have a checkered history, to put it mildly, and many Haitians have a jaundiced view of charitable agencies that sweep through the country but seem to leave little lasting improvement in their wake. The provisional prime minister, Ariel Henry, says that this time he will “personally ensure” that the mismanagement and waste that beset the relief effort a decade ago will not be repeated. There’s little reason to believe he can make a difference.

Despite long-standing political instability that has intensified since the assassination last month of Haiti’s president, Jovenel Moïse, and a deepening humanitarian crisis, the Biden administration has shown no appetite for sending U.S. troops into Haiti. Failing that, ordinary Americans can lend a hand by giving to reputable nonprofit organizations with good track records. A number are listed and rated on sites such as Charity Navigator and GiveWell.

The suffering in Haiti invites donor fatigue; it should do the opposite. Haiti is not hopeless. Its 11 million citizens have been victimized serially by corrupt, callous and inept governments and are poorly supported by the international community. By most measures the hemisphere’s poorest country, it has a history deeply interwoven with the United States’ own. The U.S. government and Americans have helped in the past, notably with an outpouring of aid after the 2010 earthquake.

They can - and should - do so again.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ‘Being champion is all well and good, but you can’t eat a crown.’

ALTHEA GIBSON

Biden’s Afghanistan policy shows the world a wobbly, impulsive U.S. WASHINGTON — In the immediate aftermath of the heroic rescue of soldiers from Dunkirk, Winston Churchill addressed the British as adults, reminding them that “wars are not won by evacuations.” As the U.S. engagement in Afghanistan ends, the authors of the ignominious and tragic last chapter are hoping that perceptions will be more malleable than facts are.

With an effrontery that deserves derision, the Biden administration has compared U.S. flights out of Kabul to the U.S. flights into Berlin that began in 1948.

Both exemplified U.S. military virtuosity, but sent different signals.

By sustaining a blockaded city of 2.2 million, the Promethean delivery of food and fuel into Berlin — almost 300,000 flights, over 11 months -- announced that the United States had the will and capacity for a prolonged confrontation with the Soviet Union. The flights out of Kabul, rescuing some of the Americans and others caught in a made-in-America calamity, announce national bewilderment. This is what “America First” looks like when a slogan becomes a policy.

Every war, even inconclusive ones, must end, but not like this. In late November 1952, president-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower flew in a light plane over the front lines in Korea. “It was obvious,” he laconically recalled in his 1963 memoirs, “that any frontal attack would present great difficulties.” He decided to seek a negotiated end to the war.

Sixty-nine years later, there are 28,500 U.S. troops, and peace, on the Korean Peninsula.

The current president’s party controls both houses of Congress, and nowadays members of both parties act as though their duty is not to make independent institutional judgments but rather to demonstrate a

WASHINGTON POST

GEORGE F.

WILL vassal’s fealty to presidents of their party. So, Congress probably will not cast a cold eye on the incompetent and dishonorable conduct that Rory Stewart summarized with his riveting, scalding responses in a video interview in London.

Stewart, a British politician and diplomat, lived three years in Afghanistan and recalls that by 2001, when the previous Taliban regime was toppled, 4 million Afghans from a population of 20 million had fled the country to escape the dark night of theocratic cruelties. Stewart was incensed about President Joe Biden’s “incredibly offensive” Aug. 16 address, in which Biden disparaged the Afghans’ “will to fight.” Stewart: “The United States provided all the air support for the Afghans. [The Americans] didn’t just take their own planes away. They took away 16,000 civilian contractors who were maintaining the Afghan helicopters. . . . So those things can’t even fly. And the morale damage. They left in the middle of the night from Bagram [air base].

They didn’t even tell the commander that they were leaving. The Afghans woke up in the morning. All their planes disabled, the Americans have left, no support of any kind. And you’re asking who exactly? Who is President Biden asking to fight?

“I mean, if you are an Afghan woman teaching in a school in Pul-e-Charkhi.

Really? Really? I mean what are they expecting? A bunch of guys come riding in in pickup trucks with heavy

machine guns, into your town. You don’t want the Taliban in there, you don’t support them. But if you’re genuinely asking them to put up a suicidal fight when the United States . . . was not even prepared to keep 2,500 soldiers and some planes in the country, with zero casualties, zero risk over the last few years. . . . No U.S. serviceman has been killed in Afghanistan for 18 months.

No British serviceman for longer than that. This has not been a costly mission since 2014. . . . To basically hand [the Afghan people] over to the Taliban and then say, it’s your fault, you’re all a bunch of cowards, when we pulled out and weren’t prepared to accept a tiny presence.”

On Thursday, after Stewart spoke, the evacuation suddenly became horrifically more deadly for the U.S. military than the war had been for years. Biden’s hasty and unilateral decision to abandon NATO’s Afghanistan mission has done more damage to that alliance than the strains of 45 Cold War years did. Worldwide, nations are recalibrating their security policies, weighing reliance on a wobbly, impulsive United States against accommodation with a China that is on a different trajectory.

Biden’s immediate task is to reassess his reliance on the intelligence, military and policymaking officials who gave him assessments and assurances that have been shredded by events. When there is no penalty for failure, failures proliferate.

Biden expresses an — strictly speaking — incredible confidence that his decisions since July have been sound. The nation could have more confidence in him if he had less in himself.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Access to reliable internet crucial To the editor: When it comes to technology policy, our representatives in Albany and Washington should stay focused on increasing access to broadband and not legislating new ways to sue digital platforms.

Hudson Valley leaders, including Sen. Schumer and Reps. Delgado and Maloney, have rightly championed expanded access to broadband and closing the digital divide.

At the same time, misguided bills aimed at radically overhauling antitrust law to take aim at the digital economy have been moving through Congress and the state

legislature.

One of the key lessons of the pandemic is that access to reliable internet connectivity and affordable digital tools is as critical to our daily lives as running water or electricity. In fact, more than 70% of small businesses throughout New York state report increasing their use of online solutions and strategies to adapt during the pandemic. Internet-enabled platforms were not only a lifeline for small businesses, they enabled remote work, access to education, and telehealth services during a public health crisis.

But if lawmakers continue to

While still a high schooler, Bill met the love of his life, Sharon Brodhead. They eventually married on January 29, 1966, while Bill was in his junior year of college. To this union were born two children, DeNon and Jerlym.

Bill was a corporate executive for most of his career but left corporate life to pursue other job opportunities from time to

time. He loved doing something new. Bill was a founding faculty member of the first undergraduate computer science department in the state of Georgia.

This was at Atlanta University Center in 1969. The consortium of schools included Morehouse College, Spelman College, Clark College, and Morris Brown College. Bill loved to say “We were first. We taught computer science before Georgia Tech.” Bill worked in corporate America until another challenge presented itself. He took a position in the administration of Virginia governor L. Douglas Wilder, the first African American governor in the United States.

Bill joined the administration as Deputy Secretary of Economic Development but later was promoted to Deputy Chief of Staff. This was a job he thoroughly enjoyed. Bill wrote about his experiences in his first book Virginia State Government: Fun, Frustrating, and Frightening.

After his time in government, he returned to corporate Amer-

ica until he took the position of Chief Administrative Officer for Shiloh Baptist Church in Alexandria, VA, where he worshiped.

Bill was instrumental in overseeing the building of a new worship center for Shiloh and also the transformation of Beasley Square from unused space to affordable housing for seniors in Alexandria, VA. He later established The Way Youth Initiative, 501 (c)(3), “making teen summer jobs happen,” by providing funding for summer employment for high school students in Alexandria and Richmond, VA. While Bill moved to different parts of the country as a result of job opportunities, he always found a new church home where he could serve God. Bill loved to sing and wherever he lived, he was an active member of the church choir. He loved the Word of God, and his desire to know God and His Word better led him to attend divinity school, and after years of studying the Bible to write two books: Making Room for a Big God and

More God Centric and Less Situation Centric Living.

Bill tried his best to live a God-centered life. On August 25, 2021, he departed this life and entered the presence of the God he served.

Bill was predeceased by his brothers Thomas and Bernard.

Left to cherish his memory are his devoted wife of 55 years, Sharon; son DeNon (Michelle) of Inglewood, CA; daughter Jerlym (Dennis) of Memphis, TN, grandchildren Calvin, Chloe, Candace, and Camille; Brothers Joseph (Elaine) of Atlanta, GA, Richard and Francis of Coxsackie, NY and John of Camden, NJ; nieces and nephews and a host of other relatives and friends.

Services for William are being held at The Serenity Funeral Home, 1638 Sycamore View Road, Memphis, TN 38134, on Saturday, September 4, 2021, at 10:00 A.M., telephone number 1-901-379-0861. Condolences may be made at www. wcbradyssonsinc.net.

SARATOGA — Rep. Elise M. Stefanik and her husband have had their first child.

Tropical Storm Kate forms far out at sea, and 2 other disturbances to watch Michelle Marchante and Alex Harris Miami Herald

As forecasters continue to track Ida, which has now weakened into a tropical storm over southwestern Mississippi, the Atlantic remains bustling with activity.

The good news is that none of the systems threaten Florida.

The National Hurricane Center is watching the newly formed Tropical Storm Kate, which is forecast to follow a winding northern path far from any land for the rest of the week.

As of the 11 a.m. EDT advisory Monday, the system was about 770 miles east-northeast of the Leeward Islands

with maximum sustained winds near 45 mph with higher gusts.

Forecasters aren’t sure if the system will survive the hostile shear conditions long enough to get much stronger, so “significant strengthening does not appear likely at this time.”

As of the 8 a.m. update, a disturbance near Africa has a high chance of turning into a tropical depression later this week -- 60% in the next 48 hours and 80% in the next five days -- as it quickly moves west-northwest over the eastern Atlantic.

Forecasters also expect to see a disturbance form in the southern Caribbean Sea in the next few days. It could see some slow development

by the end of the week if it remains over water, according to the hurricane center. The system is forecast to move west-northwest or northwest at 5 to 10 mph over the western Caribbean Sea, close to the east coast of Central America.

It has a 20% chance of formation through the next five days.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Discussing the Facilities Division

By Matt Murell, chairman, Columbia County Board of Supervisors For Columnbia-Greene Media

It’s become a familiar refrain, and here we go again: Life at the Columbia County Facilities Division has been on the pandemic rollercoaster, Director of Facilities Brian McDonald will tell you.

However, from the word go McDonald, who was appointed Facilities Director in 2019, and his department of 30 put their heads down and got right to work meeting the early challenges posed by Covid-19. Early on came the need for signs in county buildings, more than 100 in all, McDonald estimates, to point out things like hand sanitizer and reminders to maintain social distancing.

Along with signage came the need for partitioning. As the pandemic exploded into our personal and work lives, McDonald said, he foresaw the soon-to-come need for plexiglass portioning, and he started buying up plexiglass well before it skyrocketed to $150 a sheet.

“The county sign shop made all the signs and the highway welder made a lot of the metal stands we needed for the plexiglass partitions,”

McDonald said. “There were probably 35-30 partitions in all, distributed among the courthouse, DMV, mental health – places where the public would be coming in to an office space.”

McDonald said there’s been a lot of rerouting and reassigning of his workforce to meet the challenges posed by the pandemic, in particular the need to disinfect the main trafficked areas. “After a report of a suspected case in a building, we’d go in to disinfect the building, or in some cases we might need to only disinfect a floor. We’ve done that at least a dozen times.”

In the effort to help reduce the chances of Covid exposure among his workforce, McDonald has frequently split crews into smaller numbers.

In a world apart from Covid considerations, a couple years ago the Facilities Division embarked on an energy upgrade project, which has included installing LED lighting wherever it could be done. At this point, McDonald estimates 40-50 percent of county buildings have become LED lighted, as ongoing progress continues to be made.

By the end of September, McDonald hopes to have wrapped up a soundproofing

project at the county courthouse. “We’re redoing the acoustic properties,” he said.

Covid has, of course, made that a trickier proposition than it needed to be.

In addition, McDonald said, “there are a lot of improvements coming up” at the Columbia County Airport. Those improvements are scheduled to include such things as new taxiway lighting and a redesign/upgrade to the public area of the terminal building.

Facilities has also overseen the installation of new mechanicals at the county jail, while McDonald has put the building under a building management system with an eye to regular future equipment replacement and maintenance scheduling.

Meanwhile, for McDonald and Facilities “it’s usually something new every day.

Something always happens.

It’s about keeping stuff going.”

That is very true. And if there’s one department all other county departments rely on to help keep their daily operation going, it’s the Facilities Division. We all appreciate the service they provide.

LAFFERTY REALTY CELEBRATES NEW OWNER

Mental Health Association of Columbia-Greene Counties holds annual board meeting ATHENS — The board of directors of the MHACGC held its annual board meeting recently at the Stewart House in Athens.

Board members elected or re-elected for 3 year terms include Tom Hess, John Sargent, Sean DuBois and Jeanette Nesel. Re-elected for the executive committee are Jeff Barrett, CPA, president; Tom Hess, vice president; Rev. Richard Washburn, treasurer; Jay Aronson, LCSW-R, treasurer. Each bring their own varied expertise to the Association, which is the largest and most diverse behavioral health organization in the two counties. The agency provides 35 direct care programs, serving approximately 6,800 adults and 3,500 families and youth annually. Services continue to grow to meet the needs of the community while reflecting its core mission. That mission is to provide education and advocacy and to create opportunities that enhance the mental health and well-being of individuals, families and communities.

Hess has more than 40 years of experience developing programs and best practices to improve the well-being of children and families.

He managed the Child and Family Safety Programs for the NYS Office of Children and Family Services and was

Chairperson of the NYS Children’s Justice Task Force.

He was instrumental in the design and implementation of the NYS Multidisciplinary Child Abuse Investigative Teams, Child Advocacy Centers, and Child Fatality Review Teams, among many other accomplishments.

DuBois has been the vice president of Commercial Lending for the Bank of Greene County for eight years. Nesel brings a wealth of knowledge from her 40 years in the corporate media world. Her career in radio included consulting with local and national clients for their advertising, charity, event and social media needs. She is an entrepreneur as cofounder of the Germantown Beer Farm/Hudson Valley Malt. The business is located on her home property in Germantown. Sargent is a retired property manager for NYS. He is a professional musician.

Most importantly, he is a passionate family advocate. All board members are required to either live or work in Columbia or Greene counties.

Most recently, in recognition of the dedication and excellent work of its staff, the board increased the minimum hourly salary of all regular staff to $15 in order to provide a living wage. The board recognizes the heroic work the staff do day to day,

and especially during COVID, when many of these essential workers risked their own health to provide services.

The board is interested in attracting a larger and more diverse demographic into the human service field. It is important that the organization continue to be reflective of the community it serves.

The MHACGC knows firsthand the impact that racial, social, and economic disparities have on the mental health and overall health of individuals, families, and communities. There have been some recent initiatives at the leadership level to guide the organization towards further synthesis as to what it truly means to be a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace. The embodiment of diversity is not limited to trainings provided, but informs the entire structure of the organization, from its compensation strategy to the recruitment and retention of staff. The agency recently kicked off a series of mandatory trainings on Cultural Humility and Intersectionality, with a special training for board members on making all the practices of the agency reflect diversity, equity, and inclusion.

a part of a team known for long standing client relationships based on reliability and trust.

HILLSDALE — The Hillsdale Workshop Alliance, a group of local businesses who produce and support experiential workshops, is launching its inaugural event, the Workshop Experience Weekend, on Sept. 11 and Sept. 12.

The event will feature a weekend packed with a variety of workshops and classes.

The Hillsdale Workshop Alliance curates and promotes experiential learning in creative fields in and around Hillsdale through their website TheWorkshopExperience.org. Whether the instructors are local experts, or visiting makers/instructors, the goal is high quality workshops presented in beautiful settings that can be enjoyed by local audiences and visitors alike.

The Alliance includes businesses who hold workshops in subjects including gardening, culinary arts, floristry, crafting, writing, natural history and more. Although the Alliance was formed only earlier this year, workshops have been a mainstay in the town for years. “I’d always admired Margaret Roach’s workshops, garden days and the experiential learning she provided, which is what inspired me to present cooking classes in Hillsdale almost six years ago,” comments Matthew White, owner of Hillsdale General Store and HGS Home Chef. “Between us, we’ve now produced literally hundreds of workshops here in and around Hillsdale. It occurred to us that we could join forces with others to create an even more diverse collection of carefully curated workshops that attract interested people to our region to learn from a growing roster of exceptional instructors.”

And the workshops have

been a huge success. With classes regularly sold out, the group saw the opportunity to expand their offerings and bring in other businesses and supporters. Jim Carden, co-owner of Taconic Ridge Farm, says, “We have been really inspired by the type of engagement these classes offer. I think it’s incredibly unique that so many of these types of workshops seem to be located in such a small area.”

The draw for these classes has been remarkable. “We’ve had people from as far away as Chicago register for our classes,” reports Jenny Elliot, co-owner of Tiny Hearts Farm. “We expect a great turnout for this launch event.” Some of the workshops that will be held during the Workshop Experience Weekend include the following: “Growing Fantastic Dahlia’s” with Jenny Elliott; “Bringing Together those Late Summer Flavors You Adore” with Alexandra Stafford; “Natural Dye Workshop” with Jamie Goldenberg; “Forget Everything You Thought You Knew About Veggie Burgers” with Lukas Volger; “Deciphering The Meaning of Cemetery Symbols” with Allison C. Meier; “Yes, You Can Dance - A Movement Workshop for the Non-Dancer” with Aubrey Lynch; “Carve This: The Fundamentals of Carving a Wooden Spoon” with Rowland Butler; “A Creative Writing Mini-Retreat” with Libba Bray and Susanna Schrobsdorf; “Discovering New England Stone Walls” with Kevin Gardner; “Dahlia-Centric Arrangment” with Jenny Elliott; “Life On A Homestead: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” with Kristin White.

Pre-ordered boxed lunches will be available to order online through www.

TheWorkshopExperience. org. Selections will be offered

by CrossRoads Food Shop, Roe-Jan Brewing Co. and Copake General Store. “Folks who are rushing from morning to afternoon workshops may find these tasty solutions super convenient,” adds Matthew White. Pre-orders will be available starting Aug. 20.

HGS Home Chef and Tiny Hearts Farm will host an informal “Jazz Lunch” between workshops (Sept 11, 11:30 – 1:30) as Luke Franco of Tiny Hearts Farm leads a distinguished group of musicians to swing you into the afternoons’ various activities.

This free lawn-concert will be the perfect spot to enjoy a box lunch and will take place on the front porch of the HGS Home Chef where guests can sit on the porch or grass between Tiny Hearts and Home Chef.

While the inaugural Workshop Experience Weekend takes place over a single weekend, most of the Alliance’s members offer classes year round. More information on the classes as well as member organization profiles can be found on their website, www.

TheWorkshopExperience. org. The Hillsdale Workshop Alliance includes Margaret Roach (garden columnist for The New York Times), Matthew White (owner of Hillsdale General Store and HGS Home Chef), Jenny Elliot and Luke Franco (owners of Tiny Hearts Farm), Mark Halthusen (owner of Spring Hill Farm), Aubrey Lynch, and Jim and Pam Carden (owners of Taconic Ridge Farm). Tickets are on sale now.

A year after the loudest and lustiest of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments was played amid eerie silence and empty seats, the US Open will welcome fans back to Flushing Meadows -- but only those who can prove they’ve had at least one vaccination against COVID-19.

The surging delta variant has the potential to become a subplot of the two-week tournament, along with the injury-induced absences of luminaries Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams. It could be as big a story as Novak Djokovic’s quest to become the first man to win 21 Grand Slam singles titles and the first man to win all four major singles titles in a calendar year since Rod Laver in 1969. Steffi Graf earned a Golden Slam by winning an

Olympic gold medal and all four women’s Grand Slam singles titles in 1988.

On Friday, less than 72 hours before Monday’s opening matches, the U.S. Tennis Association said the office of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio had mandated that spectators age 12 and older entering Arthur Ashe Stadium will have to show proof of vaccination. The USTA expanded that to include the entire grounds of the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Fans won’t be required to wear masks.

Vaccinations are not required for players to compete for the $57.5 million in prize money. Nor will players be sequestered in a suburban bubble, as they were a year ago. They will be housed in Manhattan and will be tested for COVID-19 See DJOKOVIC B6

Bernie Williams post-Yankees life, the music never ends Don Amore Hartford Courant

HARTFORD, Conn. — Bernie Williams knows the feeling of bringing down Yankee Stadium with a walk-off home run in October. Twice, in fact. He knows what it’s like to be on the field

for the clinching of a World Series, four times over.

What can replace those moments when baseball ends as it did for Williams in 2007?

“I mean, I played the Blue Note last week, man,” said Williams, classically

trained guitarist and Latin Grammynominated artist. “From standpoint of being a retired baseball player, to go all the way up to one of the iconic jazz venues, not only in New York but in the whole world. Everybody who’s who wants to go to the Blue Note and play.

“I had an experience in Connecticut in 20123/8 when I played in a tribute to Dave Brubeck, and his son Darius was in the band, and we were playing ‘Take Five,’ his iconic piece of jazz music, and it almost felt like an out-of-body experience, playing with those cats.

And then the next day, I’m playing with Twisted Sister - ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It’ - on Long Island.”

Who else has played with Derek Jeter and Bruce Springsteen? Williams, See WILLIAMS B6

Patrick Cantlay outlasts Bryson DeChambeau, wins BMW in playoff Field Level Media

Patrick Cantlay made a litany of must-have putts, culminating in a 17 1/2-foot birdie on the sixth playoff hole that carried him to a victory over Bryson DeChambeau at the BMW Championship outside Baltimore.

The astonishing win at Caves Valley Golf Club, his third title of the season, gave Patrick Cantlay 2,000 FedEx Cup points, enough to move into first place entering next week’s Tour Championship.

He also clinched one of six automatic berths for the U.S. Ryder Cup team.

DeChambeau, who came up just shy of a round of 59 two days earlier, missed four putts to win the tournament â?? the 72nd hole and each of the first three playoff holes at Owings Mills, Md. Cantlay drained his slightly left-to-right, midrange putt on the sixth playoff hole, played at the par-4 18th, and DeChambeau missed a 9-footer that would have extended the playoff.

Trailing by a stroke late in his round, Cantlay’s hopes looked all but dashed when his tee shot at No. 17 landed short and dribbled into the water.

But DeChambeau flubbed his second shot, a chip out of the rough. Cantlay saved bogey from 8 feet and DeChambeau missed his par putt.

“I think the bogey save on 17 was a tricky little putt,” Cantlay said. “Obviously not the way I wanted to play that hole, but that kept me in the golf tournament.”

It set Cantlay up to drill a nearly 22-foot birdie putt at his 72nd hole to get to 27-under 261. DeChambeau’s first would-be winning putt of the afternoon, a 15-footer for birdie, missed left, leading to the playoff. Both players carded rounds of 6-under 66.

Among Cantlay’s other highlights were a 21 1/2-foot birdie at No. 14 and an important 9-foot par save at No. 16.

The duo opened the playoff by playing No. 18 twice. On the first play-through, Cantlay’s

approach sailed over the green, but his chip out of the rough hit the hole, which slowed the ball to about 5 1/2 feet. DeChambeau barely missed his birdie putt, and Cantlay saved his par.

On their second go-round, DeChambeau dialed in a laser of an approach shot that landed right next to the cup and spun back to 6 feet. After Cantlay two-putted for par, DeChambeau’s would-be winner lipped out. It was almost identical to the distance that he had at No. 18 Friday to make birdie for a 59 â?? a putt he also missed.

“I liked Bryson’s chances of making that 6- or 8-footer up the hill or whatever it was, and yeah, I thought he was going to make that putt,” Cantlay

said. “That was maybe the only time that I really thought I was done. But he didn’t make it. That’s golf.”

The golfers played the par-3 17th for their third playoff hole, and after Cantlay missed a birdie, DeChambeau again hit the cup to blow another chance to win.

Back at the par-4 18th, DeChambeau’s tee shot sailed into a creek. He took a penalty stroke and recovered by hitting a wedge into the green, leaving himself a 4-foot par putt that he’d go on to make. This time, it was Cantlay who couldn’t convert a birdie putt to win.

They played No. 17 one more time and

dropped their tee shots inside 5 feet of the cup to lead to matching birdies.

Cantlay set a PGA Tour record for strokes gained: putting in a single event by outperforming the field by +14.577 strokes, a statistic that’s been tracked since 2004. As he rolled in clutch putt after clutch putt, the nickname “Paddy Ice” caught on around the course.

“That’s the first time I’ve heard it, but I got it all week,” Cantlay said. “I think there was maybe one or two guys that followed me around maybe all four days, and they just, every hole, (were) screaming it.”

Sungjae Im of South Korea shot 67 and finished third at 23 under. Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy also turned in a 67, taking fourth place at 22 under.

South African tour rookie Erik van Rooyen had a bogey-free 65 to get to 21 under, good for fifth place and a berth in the Tour Championship.

The top 30 in FedEx Cup points qualified for the championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. van Rooyen started the week 45th in points and moved up to 27th. He said he was “super able” to keep track of which side of the Tour Championship bubble he stood during his round.

“There’s scoreboards just about on every green,” van Rooyen said. “The key is to kind of forget about that and play good golf. If you’re constantly thinking about, ‘Ooh, where am I going to be, what’s this guy doing, what do I need to make,’ you’re probably not going to play great, so trying to put that in the freezer, that’s kind of the key.”

Another golfer who played his way into the Tour Championship field was Spanish star Sergio Garcia. Entering the week 44th in FedEx Cup points, Garcia shot his fourth straight round in the 60s Sunday, a 69 that got him into a tie for sixth with Dustin Johnson (66) at 20 under. That finish was enough to move to 28th in the Cup standings and secure his trip to Atlanta.

MLB roundup: Baez, Lindor lead Mets past Nats Field Level Media

Javier Baez hit a long go-ahead two-run homer in the fourth inning and close friend Francisco Lindor hit a two-run double in the eighth as New York enjoyed a rare offensive outburst in a 9-4 victory over visiting Washington on Sunday.

Jonathan Villar contributed three hits, including a two-run homer in the sixth, as the Mets won for only the fourth time in 16 games and scored their most runs since a 15-11 win at Cincinnati on July 19.

Josh Bell recorded his sixth career multi-homer game, hitting a two-run homer off New York’s Tylor Megill (2-3) in the fourth and a solo shot in the eighth. Juan Soto also connected for a solo homer – and those home runs represented all three of the Nationals’ hits.

Braves 9, Giants 0 Ian Anderson returned from the injured list to throw 5 2/3 strong innings as the Atlanta Braves cruised to a 9-0 victory over the visiting San Francisco Giants on Sunday afternoon in a battle of first-place clubs.

Anderson (6-5) had not pitched since the AllStar break, missing 39 games because of shoulder inflammation. He allowed only four hits and two walks in his first career start against the Giants.

The Atlanta bullpen permitted just one hit the rest of the way to secure the team’s 15th shutout of the season.

The Atlanta offense staked Anderson to an early 3-0 lead in the fourth inning. Jorge Soler hit a long solo shot into the second deck in left field for his 20th homer and seventh since joining the Braves. Austin Riley followed with a two-run shot for his 28th homer of the season and 14th since the All-Star Game.

Those runs came against San Francisco starter Anthony DeSclafani (11-6), who made his first start since missing eight games with right ankle inflammation. The Braves have won 11 of their last 14 games, while San Francisco had its stretch of consecutive series victories end at nine.

Phillies 7, D-backs 4 Freddy Galvis drove in three runs to help Philadelphia to a win against visiting Arizona in the finale of their four-game series.

Jean Segura added two hits and scored two runs, and Bryce Harper and Rafael Marchan contributed two hits apiece for the Phillies, who won the final three games of the series.

Phillies starter Ranger Suarez (6-4) allowed one run and five hits over 5 1/3 innings to earn his first win as a starter since his major league debut on July 26, 2018. Nick Ahmed had two hits and three RBIs and Jake McCarthy collected his first two major league hits for the Diamondbacks.

Pirates 4, Cardinals 3 Yoshi Tsutsugo hit a three-run homer with one out in the ninth inning on Sunday to give Pittsburgh a dramatic win over visiting St. Louis.

With Pittsburgh trailing 3-1 against Cardinals closer Alex Reyes (5-7), Bryan Reynolds walked, Colin Moran struck out and Jacob Stallings

walked before Tsutsugo launched his fifth homer, a towering shot to right, to win it. The win gave the Pirates a split in the four-game series.

Tommy Edman hit a two-run homer and doubled and scored, and Tyler O’Neill had an RBI triple for the Cardinals.

Rays 12, Orioles 8 Tampa Bay swept its series with host Baltimore to win its seventh consecutive game, the Rays’ second-longest winning streak of the season.

The Rays, who won 11 straight from May 13-24, were paced offensively by Joey Wendle, who hit a pair of home runs – including a grand slam in the seventh – with six RBIs. Baltimore, which has now lost 22 of its past 24 games, lost 18 of 19 to the Rays this season. The Rays are 29-11 since the All-Star break.

Marlins 2, Reds 1 Jesus Luzardo allowed just one hit in six scoreless innings and rookie Jesus Sanchez homered in the first inning for the second straight game, leading host Miami over Cincinnati.

It was the second straight loss for the Reds. Cincinnati managed just two hits off three Marlins pitchers, including a double by the game’s first batter, Jonathan India.

Luzardo (5-7) dominated after that, tying his career high with eight strikeouts while allowing just one walk. Acquired from the Oakland Athletics last month, Luzardo had struggled in his previous five starts with the Marlins, posting a 9.67 ERA while allowing 12.5 hits and 6.9 walks per nine innings.

Blue Jays 2, Tigers 1

Kevin Smith hit his first major league home run, Jose Berrios tossed seven dominant innings and visiting Toronto downed Detroit.

Bo Bichette also homered for Toronto among three hits. Berrios (9-7) only allowed an unearned run while striking out 11. Tim Mayza got the last four outs to collect his first career save.

Detroit starter Matthew Boyd (3-7), making his first start since coming off the 60-day injured list, gave up two runs on four hits and struck out five in four innings.

Indians 7, Red Sox 5 Yu Chang plated the go-ahead run with an eighth-inning double after Austin Hedges hit a tying home run as Cleveland rallied past visiting Boston to avoid a three-game sweep.

Hedges’ seventh homer of the season tied the game at 5-5. Oscar Mercado singled and was awarded home plate on Chang’s double after Red Sox second baseman Yairo Munoz interfered with him on the base path. Myles Straw tacked on an RBI single to make it a two-run game.

Jose Ramirez had a solo home run and two RBIs and Wilson Ramos knocked a two-run single for Cleveland, which returned to .500 with its sixth win in nine games. Rafael Devers hit a pair of solo homers and Bobby Dalbec had a solo shot for Boston, which had its three-game winning streak snapped.

White Sox 13, Cubs 1 Luis Robert homered twice, Brian Goodwin, Eloy Jimenez and Yasmani Grandal added one home run apiece, and the Chicago White Sox cruised past the visiting Chicago Cubs.

Jose Abreu added a two-run double for the White Sox, who won two of three games in the series. Abreu surpassed 100 RBIs for the sixth time in eight seasons.

Frank Schwindel hit a solo home run for the Cubs, who fell to 1-5 against their crosstown rivals in 2021.

Rangers 13, Astros 2 Adolis Garcia’s grand slam highlighted an eight-run fifth inning as Texas rolled over visiting Houston at Arlington, Texas.

Garcia finished with three hits and five RBIs, while DJ Peters also homered during the breakout fifth and recorded three RBIs to help the Rangers snap a four-game skid. The Rangers avoided being swept in this three-game set and snapped a five-game home slide.

Zack Greinke (11-5) was roughed up for six runs and yielded nine hits over four-plus innings for Houston, which saw its four-game winning streak come to a halt. Yordan Alvarez homered while Jake Meyers had an RBI for the Astros.

Brewers 6, Twins 2 Rowdy Tellez belted a three-run homer as Milwaukee snapped a three-game losing streak with a victory over Minnesota in Minneapolis.

Luis Urias also went deep and Kolten Wong had two doubles and two RBIs for Milwaukee.

Christian Yelich and Jackie Bradley Jr. each added a double and had two hits for the Brewers, who extended their National League Central lead to 8 1/2 games over Cincinnati.

Miguel Sano homered for the fourth time in the last eight games and Josh Donaldson also had two hits for Minnesota, which won four of the six meetings with Milwaukee.

Rockies 5, Dodgers 0 C.J. Cron stayed red hot with a home run and Antonio Senzatela pitched seven shutout innings as visiting Colorado won just its second road series of the season in beating Los Angeles.

Cron’s three-run home run in the first inning was his 10th in August alone and also increased his major league-leading RBI total for the month to 33. Senzatela (3-9), who entered with a career 7.08 ERA against the Dodgers, gave up just two hits with a walk and five strikeouts.

Despite the loss, the Dodgers are still 17-4 since Aug. 7, but two of those defeats came over a threeday span to the Rockies. Colorado has just 17 road victories this season, tied with the Arizona Diamondbacks for the fewest in the National League.

Mariners 4, Royals 3 Kyle Seager hit a two-run home run with two outs in the seventh inning to break a tie and lead host Seattle to a victory over Kansas City, despite another home run by the Royals’ Salvador Perez.

Jarred Kelenic also homered and left-hander Marco Gonzales (6-5) pitched seven strong innings for Seattle, which salvaged the finale of the four-game series.

Perez homered for a fifth consecutive game, eclipsing his previous career best set in 2017. It was his 38th of the season.

Mets’ Syndergaard tests positive for COVID-19 Deesha Thosar New York Daily News

WENDELL CRUZ/USA TODAY

Another tough break for Thor.

Noah Syndergaard tested positive for COVID-19, a source told the Daily News on Sunday.

Syndergaard is vaccinated, but it is unclear if he is symptomatic.

There were no other close contacts to the team, according to the source.

Syndergaard, who turned 29

Mets players are celebrating hits by giving their fans a thumbs down Deesha Thosar New York Daily News

Javier Baez and the Mets have a clear message for the fans.

Baez parked a monster two-run home run into the left field second deck in the Mets’ 9-4 win over the Nationals on Sunday at Citi Field.

The crowd exploded with applause and cheers as Baez’s fourth home run for the Mets gave his new team the lead.

As Baez touched home plate, he put his thumbs down. He did that gesture repeatedly, before going into the dugout to rejoice with the rest of his teammates.

After the game, Baez explained that the Mets’ new celebration--a thumbs-down gesture that was also displayed by Francisco Lindor and Kevin Pillar when they got on base in Sunday’s win-is his teammates’ way of

“booing” the fans.

“When we don’t get success, we’re going to get booed,” Baez said. “So they’re going to get booed when we get success.”

Lindor this season has also expressed frustration with the Mets fan base for booing him when he was slumping to start his career in Queens. The superstar shortstop was signed to an 10-year $341 million contract extension before the 2021 season, and Mets fans have had high expectations for him ever since.

Those same expectations have been applied to Baez, the former Cubs shortstop who joined the Mets at last month’s trade deadline. He has 22 strikeouts and four home runs in 17 games with the Amazin’s, batting .213 in that stretch which included a trip to the injured list due to back spasms.

Sunday, wrote on Twitter: “This birthday is so sick.”

He was scheduled to make his second rehab start for the High-A Brooklyn Cyclones on Sunday, which was called off after he tested positive. The Mets found out about Syndergaard’s health on Saturday, per Luis Rojas. The Mets manager publicly referred to Syndergaard’s absence from his Sunday rehab start as a “non-baseball related injury” and preferred not to provide more details on the

situation.

“I got to talk to him yesterday.

He’s frustrated,” Rojas said.

The Mets are not sure when Syndergaard will make a rehab start again, if at all this season, given the baseball calendar.

His first rehab outing was on Thursday, his first time back on the mound since a late-May setback in his Tommy John rehab.

“We haven’t said anything,” Rojas said when asked if the performance staff considered shutting down Syndergaard

from ramping up. “We haven’t committed to anything yet.

We’re just waiting on clarification on when his next outing will be and I think that will give us an idea of what the next step is and probably a schedule, in a sense.”

Syndergaard had Tommy John surgery in March 2020 and the expectation, before he tested positive on Sunday, was that he would return to the Mets roster before the 2021 season was over.

Tony Kemp’s late home run lifts A’s over Yankees Shayna Rubin The Mercury News

OAKLAND, Calif. — Tony Kemp’s tworun home run in the eighth inning gave the A’s a 3-1 lead against the New York Yankees. His fifth home run of the year was his third against the Yankees.

Kemp homered off Yankees reliever Chad Green in a rally that started with Mark Canha’s double over left fielder Joey Gallo’s head.

In his third big league start this year, Paul Blackburn blanked the red-hot Yankees lineup through five innings. He gave up five hits, all singles hit in each inning, and struck out one and walked one.

The A’s lathered up a few more scoring opportunities against Yankees starter Jordan Montgomery, but were characteristically fruitless in their attempts to score.

The A’s loaded the bases on a pair of hits from Yan Gomes and Jed Lowrie followed by an error by third baseman Gio Urshela on Matt Chapman’s grounder.

Canha, in need of a big hit to break a slump in which he’s batting .141 in August, was called out on an inning-ending double play. But the call was reversed on replay, giving the A’s a run, an unearned one for Montgomery.

The Yankees squeezed out an unearned run against reliever Jake Diekman thanks to back-to-back errors on pinch hitter Anthony Rizzo’s at-bat in the seventh inning. Gary Sanchez at second base with two outs, Rizzo hit a pop up foul that

NFL roundup: Patriots edge Giants in preseason finale Field Level Media

Both starting quarterbacks had moments but also each threw interceptions as visiting New England defeated New York, 22-20, on Sunday.

Cam Newton (2-for-5, 10 yards) led the Patriots (3-0) to a field goal on their opening drive, but was picked on a deep ball to end his second and final possession. Rookie Mac Jones was efficient (10-for-14, 156 yards, one touchdown pass) but also took four sacks and, after the game, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick refused to disclose his Week 1 starting QB. Daniel Jones went 17-for-22 for 135 yards with a touchdown, but was picked off on third-and-goal at the 1 to foil a secondquarter drive for the Giants (0-3).

Jaguars 34, Cowboys 14 Rookie Trevor Lawrence tossed two touchdown passes to lift the Jacksonville Jaguars to a 34-14 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday in the final preseason game for both teams in Arlington, Texas.

Lawrence, the top overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, completed 11 of 12 passes for 139 yards. He tossed an 18-yard touchdown pass to Pharoh Cooper in the first quarter and a 4-yard score to Laviska Shenault Jr. in the second.

Lawrence exited the contest early in the second quarter.

Devine Ozigbo capped a 68-yard rushing performance with a 4-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter for the Jaguars (1-2), who played most of their starters. Jacksonville opens the season on Sept. 12 at the Houston Texans.

Aaron Parker and Johnnie Dixon each reeled in a touchdown pass for the Cowboys (0-4), who kick off the season on Sept. 9 at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Dolphins 29, Bengals 26 Reid Sinnett threw two touchdown passes in the final six minutes to rally Miami (2-1) past host Cincinnati. Sinnett, who passed for 343 yards, tossed a 44-yard scoring pass to Kirk Merritt with 5:57 left and a winning 34-yarder to Chris Myarick with 1:21 remaining. Joe Burrow threw one incomplete pass in three plays for the Bengals in his first outing since tearing the ACL and MCL in his left knee last November. Kyle Shurmur passed for 206 yards and one score for Cincinnati (1-2).

49ers 34, Raiders 10 Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance each rushed for touchdowns as San Francisco routed Las Vegas at Santa Clara, Calif. Garoppolo, the starting quarterback, completed 4 of 7 passes for 64 yards while No. 3 overall

pick Lance was 6 of 13 for 46 yards. JaMycal Hasty added two rushing scores for the 49ers (2-1). Nathan Peterman passed for 175 yards, one touchdown and one interception for the Raiders (2-1), who rested starter Derek Carr and were also without backup Marcus Mariota (quadriceps).

Browns 19, Falcons 10 Baker Mayfield led Cleveland on six-play, 75-yard drive in the first quarter to set the tone in a 19-10 win over Atlanta. Mayfield completed 6 of 10 passes for 113 yards and a 22-yard touchdown to KhaDarel Hodge to stake the Browns (3-0) to an early 7-0 lead. Atlanta (0-3) trailed throughout but eventually closed the gap to 13-10 on a fourth-quarter Josh Rosen touchdown pass (7 yards to Juwan Green), but Cleveland backup Kyle Lauletta threw a touchdown pass of his own, a 10-yarder to Davion Davis, to end the threat.

Browns passers combined to complete 29 of 51 for 372 yards and two touchdowns and two interceptions.

Bills 19, Packers 0 Buffalo starting quarterback Josh Allen passed for 194 and two touchdowns in his preseason debut to lead the Bills to a 19-0 victory over the visiting Green Bay Packers.

The Bills finished the preseason 3-0.

Allen finished 20-for-26 passing in three series before giving way to Jake Fromm and Davis Webb in the second half.

Gabriel Davis, off the reserve/COVID-19 list, caught five passes for 75 yards and a touchdown. Cole Beasley, also just off the COVID list, caught four passes for 52 yards.

Packers quarterback Jordan Love returned from a shoulder injury to finish 12 of 18 for 149 yards and an interception. The Packers finished the preseason 0-3, resting most of their starters.

Ravens 37, Washington 3 Tyler Huntley threw for four touchdowns to lead Baltimore to an NFL-record 20th straight preseason victory. However, the Ravens lost starting running back J.K. Dobbins to a knee injury in the first quarter. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson made his preseason debut but didn’t play much, finishing with 29 yards passing on 3-for-4 passing.

Huntley played the rest of the way, completing 24 of 33 passes for 285 yards. Kyle Allen completed 10-of-22 passes for 100 yards for host Washington, which finished its preseason 1-2.

Bears 27, Titans 24 Jesper Horsted caught three touchdown passes and Nick Foles threw for 142 yards and two touchdowns to lead Chicago past host Tennessee in Nashville. Foles connected with Horsted on a 54-yard TD throw at 6:51 of the fourth quarter for the game-winning score.

Horsted finished with 104 yards receiving.

Logan Woodside completed 12-of-17 passes

for 100 yards and a touchdown for the Titans.

Woodside and Matt Barkley threw an interception apiece. The Titans rushed for 181 yards and two touchdowns as a team.

Buccaneers 23, Texans 16 Tom Brady engineered a pair of 90-plus yard touchdown drives in his final preseason action in helping visiting Tampa Bay past Houston. Brady was an efficient 11 of 14 passing in his three possessions for 154 yards and a 24-yard scoring strike to Chris Godwin.

With Texans starting quarterback Deshaun Watson still on the sidelines, Tyrod Taylor (6-for-9, 31 yards) and rookie Davis Mills (10for-27, 106 yards, two TDs and three interceptions) were underwhelming as the Buccaneers built a 16-2 halftime lead. Houston outrushed Tampa Bay 209-52.

Broncos 17, Rams 12 Teddy Bridgewater started but it was Drew Lock who threw the game-winning pass in Denver’s win over Los Angeles. Bridgewater, named the starter for Week 1, completed 6-of-11 passes for 62 yards and a touchdown in his final tune-up. Lock threw for 67 yards, including a seven-yard scoring strike to Austin Fort with 4:43 remaining. Bryce Perkins went the whole way for the Rams, completing 23 of 42 passes for 201 yards. Matt Gay kicked four field goals for the Rams, including a 54-yarder.

Seahawks 27, Chargers 0 Seattle got a touchdown from its defense and efficient play from the backup quarterbacks in a win over Los Angeles. Marquise Blair returned a fumble 17 yards for the first score of the game early in the first quarter.

Quarterbacks Geno Smith and Sean Mannion combined to go 24-for-30 with Mannion throwing a TD for the final score. Running back Alex Collins added 37 yards rushing and a score. Rookie RB Larry Rountree III rushed six times for 27 yards for the Chargers. The Seahawks’ defense racked up five sacks.

Jets 31, Eagles 31 Kenny Yeboah hauled in a 49-yard touchdown catch from James Morgan in the final seconds, and Josh Adams’ two-point conversion carry lifted New York to a tie with Philadelphia in East Rutherford, N.J. Yeboah, who scored on a 21-yard catch from Morgan earlier in the fourth quarter, finished with 100 yards receiving on four catches. Morgan had 158 yards passing with the two touchdowns and one interception, while Adams ran for 62 yards on 12 carries for the Jets (2-0-1).

Joe Flacco connected on 13 of 16 passes for 188 yards and two touchdowns for the Eagles (0-2-1).

“I feel like that should be always a personal decision, whether you want to get vaccinated or not. So I’m supportive of that,” said Djokovic, who tested positive for the coronavirus in June 2020 after staging exhibitions that flouted COVID-19 protocols. “Whether someone wants to get a vaccine or not, that’s completely up to them. I hope that it stays that way.”

of Greece has said he won’t get vaccinated unless the men’s tour makes it mandatory. Dr. Brian Hainline, a member of the USTA’s medical advisory group and the chief medical officer of the NCAA, said Tsitsipas’ reasoning was typical of “emerging adults and our young adults.”

Tsitsipas, a possible challenger to Djokovic’s dominance, is 23.

“They look at an individual risk profile of the vaccine versus having the disease itself. That has changed,” Hainline said, adding half the people hospitalized since the Delta variant became widespread are under 50.

Why go to full capacity of maskless, non-socially distanced fans while the variant is a significant concern? As always, follow the money. Mike Dowse, executive director of the USTA, said the organization lost $180 million last year because

no tickets were sold to the U.S. Open. Recreational tennis participation rose during the pandemic, but the Open provides financial support for the USTA’s grassroots initiatives and other efforts. Another lost year would be devastating financially.

Djokovic’s pursuit of history is compelling above all. A year removed from being defaulted from the Open for swatting a ball that struck a lineswoman in the throat, he returns to New York to a field that lacks Federer (knee surgery), Nadal (foot injury) and defending champion Dominic Thiem (wrist injury).

Djokovic said he sees Tsitsipas, No. 2 seed Daniil Medvedev of Russia and No. 4 seed and Olympic gold medalist Alexander Zverev of Germany as his main rivals.

“I’m very inspired to play my best tennis here,” Djokovic said.

“I don’t want to say it’s now or never for me because I think I’m going to have more opportunities in my life to win Slams.

I don’t know if I’m going to be having more opportunities to win calendar Slams. That’s why it’s a very unique opportunity.

At the same time, I don’t need to put any additional pressure to what I already have, which is pretty big from my own self and from of course people around me.

“But I thrive under pressure, as well. I’ve done that many times in my career. Pressure is a privilege, it truly is. This is what you work for, day in, day out, all your life, to put yourself in a unique position to win Grand Slams and to make history.”

Patrick Mouratoglou, who coaches Tsitsipas, Williams and Coco Gauff, was impressed by Djokovic’s ability to shake off

jitters and rally from two sets down to defeat Tsitsipas in the French Open final. “Whatever big matches he played this year I could feel a different level of nerves, but he’s such a champion he could recover from that and still find his way to win,” Mouratoglou said.

“It’s different to play now.

Like, every Grand Slam is for history now, potentially. So this is a different level of pressure that he’s going to experience now, so we’ll see how he deals with it.”

The women’s field is more level. There were no repeat winners in the first three Slams, won by Naomi Osaka (Australian Open), Barbora Krejcikova (French Open) and Ash Barty (Wimbledon). No. 1 seed Barty also won a recent hardcourt tournament in Cincinnati.

Osaka, a two-time U.S. Open

winner who lit the Tokyo Olympic cauldron, hasn’t played much since she pulled out of the French Open to safeguard her emotional well-being in the face of what she considered negative media questions, and she feels the loss of match play.

“I feel pretty confident with where I am right now. Of course I’m not, like, declaring that I’ll do amazing here,” she said.

“For me, I’m the one-match-ata-time like person. Yeah, hopefully it will work out in the end.”

Hopefully all will play out safely for everyone, leaving the focus on match results instead of COVID-19 test results. “You don’t have someone like Serena or Roger every 10 years. It’s exceptional,” Mouratoglou said.

“But to have more uncertainty and more suspense, it’s also something that we can appreciate.”

idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, the disease that claimed his father, Bernabe Sr., in 2001. One of the songs he will perform has a special meaning.

“One of the tunes, I wrote for my father,” Williams said, “and we requested the public to submit lyrics for3/8 ‘Para Don Berna,’ and we chose a winner and we are going to perform the tune with the lyrics.”

Williams also works with several programs to promote access to music education, such as Little Kids Rock and the Turnaround Arts programs at Jettie S. Tisdale School in Bridgeport.

“You see in a tangible way how music and the arts are positively, exponentially, influencing the test results in these kids,” he said. “You cannot dispute how important arts and

music are in the core curriculum, it’s so beneficial to these kids.”

The transition from baseball to another walk of life is a struggle for many. Even those determined to walk away end up back at the ballpark in one way or another. For Williams, born and raised in Puerto Rico, music and baseball were always parallel passions. He was still playing for the Yankees when he released his first album, “The Journey Within” in 2003. His second, “Moving Forward,” which earned his Latin Grammy nomination, came out in 2009.

In explaining Williams’ introspective demeanor, manager Joe Torre often said he was an artist as much as an athlete.

He played from 1991-2006,

handling the center field covered before him by Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle, hitting .297 with 287 homers and five All-Star appearances. Williams’ 80 RBIs in postseason play remains the MLB record. The days following 9/11 are among his most indelible memories.

The baseball journey, Williams delighted in recalling, came though the Hartford area at a formative time. The Yankees were planning to sign him as he turned 17 in September 1985, but in the meantime had to hide him for a few weeks that summer. They arranged for him

to attend a camp at Cheshire Academy and he played a handful of games in the Greater Hartford Twilight League.

“They were the ones that started introducing me to the American culture,” Williams said. “It was a really beautiful time in my life, filled with excitement and uncertainty, being a little anxious. Playing in that league, I was not to be showcased too much. They wanted to keep me under wraps, but I didn’t understand it and I was frustrated, ‘Why don’t I get to play?’ “ When he became a Yankee

star, Williams remembered being in awe of DiMaggio and worried that, given his rep for aloofness, he might shut down the new kid in center field.

Williams was relieved when DiMaggio walked by his locker in 1996 and said, “Keep up the good work.” Mantle, more gregarious, signed a ball for Williams inscribing it, “Bernie, you’re great.” With his No. 51 retired, Williams is a permanent member of the club of great Yankees center fielders.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Friend’s constant advice on all things begins to grate Dear Abby, I have a friend from college I’m really close to, but they have begun an annoying habit I need help addressing. We live more than 1,000 miles apart, and over the past six months, I’ve noticed that my friend has been giving me unsolicited advice on daily tasks DEAR ABBY that don’t concern them. At first it didn’t bother me. Now it’s happening three or four times a week.

I think they mean well, but the “friendly” reminders are beginning to come across as condescending. Some examples: If I mention what I’m making for dinner, I’ll be reminded to make sure the chicken is cooked to the correct temperature. I have a vacation planned, and I was just reminded that in order to go I need to have flights booked.

I’m afraid I may be overreacting, which is why I haven’t said anything. However, these constant reminders are frustrating and leave me with the impression that my friend thinks I’m stupid or incapable of taking care of myself. What’s your advice on how to handle this?

Not A Kid And Not Stupid

Dear Abby, My niece is getting married.

This has been a very stressful time for her family. My sister calls me in tears every night because of the hurtful things her daughter has said to her.

Until now, they had a good relationship. I know weddings can be a nightmare for families, even those who are close, because the bride can turn into a “bridezilla.” It is HER wedding, although my sister is paying for everything.

Her daughter and the fiance are in their 30s and have well-paying jobs but are very happy to have my sister foot the bill. Sometimes I want to shake my niece and tell her to grow up and show some respect. Is there anything I can do to help my sister other than listen and be there for her? I’m getting worried about her health because of the stress, and she refuses to take care of herself.

Feeling Helpless In The East

A way to handle it would be to ask your friend why the advice was being offered. If you say you’re making chicken for dinner and you are advised to be sure it’s cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees, calmly ask why the person felt it was necessary to say it. The same goes for your travel plans and any other

I am sure you are aware that most couples in their 30s who have well-paying jobs foot the bill for their own weddings. Your sister has created this monster with her checkbook. At this point, the most helpful thing you can do for her is what you have been doing — letting her vent so she doesn’t blow a gasket from the pressure.

By Stella Wilder Born today, you are not one to be cowed by complexities or difficulties, and if something seems to be over your head in any way, you are more likely to try to tackle it, eager to learn what you must in order to rise to the challenge that it offers. There is far more to you than others may ever know.

You can surely go it alone, but you prefer to share what life offers — good and bad — with a few others you think make up your “support system.” The truth is that you don’t really need such support, but you certainly make good use of it — and that which you receive you are more than willing to give back when the time comes.

Also born on this date are: Richard Gere, actor; Chris Tucker, actor; Van Morrison, singer; James Coburn, actor; Queen Raina of Jordan; Itzhak Perlman, violinist; Buddy Hackett, actor and comic; Debbie Gibson, singer; Maria Montessori, educator.

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.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You’re going to have to file away certain information today in places that no one else can get to — at least for now. Guard what you know!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — The effects of someone’s behavior are likely to drive you in a different direction from that you had originally intended today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — It may be time for you to begin planning for a trip that you are eager to go on — but take care that you don’t

schedule anything prematurely.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You can get yourself out of a tricky situation simply by staying put. This kind of immobility isn’t always a good idea — but it is today.

CAPRCORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Take a good look at what others are doing; you’ll realize you know all you need to know to get a key task done today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You’re eager to move past a certain crisis that has kept you involved with others for quite a while. All you have to do today is let go!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You may find yourself competing with someone who shares many talents with you — but right now they’re putting in more time and effort.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You may have to fight with your own moods today before you are able to move forward at a satisfactory pace and do what is required of you today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You are letting yourself go, perhaps, and the time has come to pay more attention to how you feel physically, emotionally — and mentally.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You can do more with a kind word and a smile than you can with a stern or aggressive tone. Ease your way into a situation for the best results.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You are sitting pretty right now in ways that really matter to you, though you may not quite understand just how much you have going for you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Just when you need things to be working flawlessly for you, you’re likely to encounter something that threatens to derail you. Get it fixed.

WEEKLY BRIDGE QUIZ ANSWERS Q 1 - Neither vulnerable, as South, you hold: ♠

6♥

K J 10 8 5 ♦ 10 9 8 5 ♣

SOUTH Pass 1NT ?

WEST Pass Pass

A73

NORTH 1♠ 2♥

EAST Pass Pass

What call would you make?

A - Partner might have a light third-seat opening.

Despite that, we would raise to game in a team match. In a pairs game, however, we think an invitational raise to 3H is enough.

Q 4 - Both vulnerable, as South, you hold: ♠ K 9 8 ♥ Q J 5 ♦ K Q 8 4 ♣ A 10 9

Partner, the dealer, opens 2H, weak. Right-hand opponent passes. What call would you make?

A - 2NT shows a hand worth a one no trump opening and asks partner to evaluate his hand in that light. A maximum is a hand that would force to game opposite a 1NT opening. Bid 2NT. Q 5 - North-South vulnerable, as South, you hold:

Q 2 - North-South vulnerable, as South, you hold:

♠ A J 10 8 ♥ K Q J 9 7 ♦ A 7 6 3 ♣ Void

♠ J 10 9 6 5 ♥ A 9 2 ♦ Q 10 5 ♣ J 6

SOUTH 1♥ 3♦ ?

NORTH 1♣ 3♠

EAST 3♦ Pass

SOUTH Pass ?

WEST Pass

A - The queen of diamonds is probably wasted, but it is almost never a bad idea to raise with five-card support. Bid 4S.

♠ K 10 7 6 5 ♥ A 10 6 3 ♦ Void ♣ A K Q 10 NORTH Pass

EAST Pass Pass

EAST 2♥

A - You have done all you can to warn partner off of what might be a terrible no trump contract.

The rest is up to him. Pass.

Q 6 - East-West vulnerable, as South, you hold: ♠ A K 10 8 7 5 4 3 ♥ A J ♦ Q 4 ♣ 6

Partner passes as dealer and right-hand opponent also passes. What call would you make?

What call would you make?

A - Partner could not respond to 1S, so offensive prospects are dim. Double would be for take out

A - If partner were not a passed hand, we would open 1S. His pass reduces our slam prospects so we now just want to buy the contract. Open 4S.
