2 COVID deaths reported in 1 week By Melanie Lekocevic Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — The 83rd Greene County resident has died from the COVID-19 virus, according to Greene County Public Health. The death was the second virus-related fatality in the past week in Greene County. Another local resident was reported dead from COVID-19 on Oct. 18, according to Public Health. “Sadly, we have lost another member of our community and we send our condolences to their loved ones,” according to a statement from the department. Details about the person who died,

such as gender, age and vaccination status, were not available as of Monday afternoon, Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden said. “We don’t have any information on the individual who died,” Groden said Monday. As of Friday, the date of the latest available figures, the county has seen 4,386 positive test results of the virus since the pandemic began in March 2020, including 13 new cases reported Friday. There were 11 residents hospitalized and 252 on quarantine due to COVID-19. The county is in the planning stages to bring booster shots of the COVID-19 vaccine to area residents, but no concrete

plans are in place at this time. The first step is to determine how much vaccine will be available to the county. At this time, Greene County does not have any doses available, but has made a request with the state to acquire the vaccine. The county is also trying to determine how booster shots will be administered, and how comingling of vaccinations — receiving a booster shot of a different brand from the person’s initial shot — will work, Groden said. “We don’t have inventory of vaccinations yet,” the county administrator said.

IDA, county plan health care facility near Thruway By Melanie Lekocevic Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — Plans are in the works to expand available health care services at a new business park adjacent to the New York State Thruway. The Exit 21 West Business Park, in the town of Catskill, is being developed for

businesses geared to the medical and hospitality industries, along with a new Community Health Center. Plans are also being finalized with Columbia Memorial Health to develop a health care facility dubbed CMH Medical Plaza West, according to a statement from the county. The Greene County Industrial

Development Agency established the 60-acre business park in 2019 on Route 23B, adjacent to Exit 21 on the Thruway. Since that time, the IDA has invested over $3 million to make the site shovel ready, including acquisition of eight parcels of land and demolition of multiple residential structures. The IDA also completed

an environmental impact statement in compliance with state regulations to allow for the mitigation of archaeologically sensitive areas at the site, according to the county. The development will make the See FACILITY A8

Saugerties Senior Housing

WASHINGTON — As former President Donald Trump maintains his grip on the Republican Party and further spreads conspiracies about the 2020 election, some Democrats and progressive activists are urging President Joe Biden to speak out more forcefully against his predecessor. During his first nine months in office, Biden has largely avoided attacking Trump by name, even as he has broadly criticized those sowing doubt about the electoral process and pushed for measures to safeguard voting rights. Some Democrats agree with Biden’s posture, arguing that he should not provide oxygen to Trump and his baseless claims of election fraud when he is no longer in power. But others in the party say Biden should be more focused on combating efforts they see as undermining democracy, especially as Trump ramps up his political activity ahead of the 2022 and 2024 elections. “The Jan. 6 insurrection was the DEFCON 1 moment for the Biden administration and for American democracy,” Democratic strategist and pollster Fernand Amandi said. “And by not elevating that to the most important focus of the country in the administration today — which is the efforts by the Republican Party and President Trump and Trumpism to end American democracy — we dilute and diminish the very existential nature of what that threat represents.” Since leaving office, Trump has sought to assert his control over the GOP. He has held rallies around the country, worked to defeat Republican lawmakers who voted for his impeachment and has left the door open to another presidential bid in 2024. Some Democrats say Trump’s continued presence on the national stage has made it more urgent for Biden to take a harder line against him and his ideology. “There is no 2024, if we lose the Congress in 2022,” Amandi said. “You cannot trust Republicans to be good actors to protect democracy.” Democratic activists, antiTrump Republicans and legal experts also say they are increasingly concerned about Trumpinspired efforts to replace state and local election officials who certified last year’s election in key battleground states. “If Joe Biden thinks that he can wake up in 2023 and run the same election as last time and that things will turn out the same, he’s not paying enough attention to the facts that are changing on the ground, where if the exact same election were held in 2024, with the exact same attempts to overturn it, the people who stood up and protected

U.S. President Joe Biden speaks to members of the media on the South Lawn of the White House upon his return to Washington, D.C. from Michigan on Tuesday, Oct. 5, 2021.

us will no longer be there with them,” said Ian Bassin, cofounder and executive director of the nonprofit group Protect Democracy.

TAKING ON TRUMP In recent weeks, Biden has signaled a willingness to more vigorously counter the activity of Trump and his supporters on legal and constitutional issues. During a CNN town hall last Thursday, Biden said he is open to changing the rules of the U.S. Senate to allow federal voting legislation to pass by a simple majority. Biden waived executive privilege this month for a set of records pertaining to the Jan. 6 riot that a congressional committee had sought, and he encouraged the Department of Justice to prosecute a Trump associate attempting to skirt a subpoena issued by the committee. White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters recently that Biden took the unusual step of declining to assert privilege on the documents because Trump “abused the office of the presidency in attempt to subvert a peaceful transfer of power,” actions which she said “represented a unique and existential threat to our democracy that we don’t feel can be swept under the rug.” But the White House has declined at other points to respond directly to Trump’s attacks and false information. After a rally this month where Trump told his supporters the election “was rigged” and repeatedly criticized Biden, Psaki told reporters the president would spend his time and energy on leading the country and bringing people together. “The president’s focus is on working to deliver for the American people. He didn’t watch the rally, I can assure you of that. I’m not sure he’s even seen clips of the rally,” Psaki said. Bassin said that while it is “reasonable” for the White House not to engage in a daily sparring match with Trump, it is a “dangerous dereliction” not to bring the full force of the presidency to bear on insurrectionists.

He said the DOJ should pursue criminal charges against former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, who says he is protected by executive privilege even though he did not work at the White House at the time of the riots, and prosecute anyone who was part of the Capitol attack. “It is clear to everybody watching that the number one priority of the Biden White House is passing an infrastructure bill and the Build Back Better plan,” said Bassin, who was Associate White House Counsel under former President Barack Obama. “The number one priority is not protecting American democracy.” The White House declined to comment for this story. Traditionally, presidents have allowed the DOJ to operate independently. They have also mostly refrained from assailing their predecessors while in office. But some Democrats say that Trump’s unfounded accusations are so troubling that it requires a more direct response from Biden. Rahna Epting, executive director of the progressive group MoveOn, said Biden should be delivering speeches, including a primetime address, and holding rallies where he focuses on election issues. She said federal voting right legislation would help. “But you also have to be out there aggressively,” she added. “We want to see President Biden campaign to safeguard our democracy,” Epting said.

POLITICAL UPSIDE Some Democrats also see a political advantage to combating Trump more forcefully. While he is the dominant figure within the Republican Party, he remains unpopular with the broader electorate. Obama took aim at “lies and conspiracy theories about the last election” at a rally on Saturday for Virginia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Terry McAuliffe, who has framed his race as a referendum on Trumpism. Members of both parties view the Virginia election, set to take place next month, as a barometer of the political

Moderna says COVID shot for younger kids showed strong results Timothy Annett Bloomberg News

Moderna Inc. said that its COVID-19 vaccine showed a strong immune response in younger children in a latestage clinical trial. The biotechnology company said in a statement on Monday that an interim analysis showed a robust neutralizing antibody response in children 6 to under 12 years old. Participants in the trial received two 50 microgram doses -- half the dose initially given to adults -spaced 28 days apart. The trial data also showed

a favorable safety profile, the company said. Moderna said that it planes to submit the data to the Food and Drug Administration, as well as the European Medicines Agency and other global regulators, in the near term. Shares of Moderna gained 0.8% in premarket trading in New York on Monday. The stock had been under pressure of late, sliding by about 24% over the past month. The release of data from Moderna comes a day before an FDA panel is expected to review data on the COVID-19

vaccine for 5- to 11-year-olds from Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE.

environment one year out from the midterm elections. “We’re at a turning point right now. Both here in America and around the world. And there’s a mood out there. We see it. There’s a politics of meanness and division and conflict, of tribalism and cynicism,” Obama said. “And that’s one path. But the good news is there’s another path, where we pull together, and we solve big problems.” Biden is scheduled to speak at a rally for McAuliffe on Tuesday. When Biden last campaigned for McAuliffe in July, he criticized his Republican opponent, Glenn Youngkin, as “an acolyte of Donald Trump.” Paul Begala, the chief strategist on Bill Clinton’s first presidential campaign, said Biden should tap back into the intense voter distaste of Trump that helped him get elected in the first place. “I wouldn’t lose that thread. It’s not like Trump is off building houses for poor people like Jimmy Carter,” Begala said. “He is trying to undermine a constitutional order in every way he can.” Sarah Longwell, an antiTrump Republican strategist who conducts focus groups of voters, said Democrats putting Trump at the center of their campaign pitch will help energize the Democratic base. “That is a recipe for juicing Democratic turnout,” said Longwell, who co-founded the anti-Trump group Defending Democracy Together. “It’s the one thing that really unifies their coalition, is opposition to Donald Trump.” But some Democrats argue that Biden should not make Trump and his unfounded election claims a higher priority, saying he needs to continue to focus on addressing the coronavirus pandemic and passing his economic agenda. “President Biden needs to stay focused where he is, which is helping to solve problems that Americans face in their daily lives,” said Eric Schultz, a senior advisor to Obama. “Democrats were elected to make a difference for people, in both in 2018 and 2020, and that’s why I think the White House is rightfully focused on making progress on all of these fronts.” Democratic strategist Joel Payne said that Biden benefits politically from Trump staying in the public eye because it reminds Americans why they voted him out of office. But he said Biden using the bully pulpit to get into the mud with Trump could backfire. “That’s not Joe Biden’s brand,” he said. ©2021 McClatchy Washington Bureau. Visit at mcclatchydc.com.

OUR VIEW

Tollbooth era ends in Catskill Few things have been quite as annoying as fumbling for change while waiting in lines at toll plazas on the New York State Thruway and the Rip Van Winkle Bridge. Waiting in lines while drivers ahead of you fumbled for change was even more annoying. As of Nov. 1, this annoyance will go away. Motorists will cruise through what was once a brick-and-mortar toll plaza on the Catskill side of the Rip Van Winkle Bridge, under a bevy of steel gantries, and cross

the bridge east across the Hudson River. If you have EZPass, the toll will be charged to your credit card. If you don’t have EZPass, your license plate will be photographed by high-speed cameras on the gantry and you will receive a bill in the mail. As far as local travel goes, this will be a sea change. Driving conditions will be transformed. Vehicles getting onto the bridge on the Greene County side will be funnelled through the gantry into a single lane of

traffic. Westbound traffic will go through the gantry unfettered and continue on its way into Catskill. We have to wonder how fast vehicles will go on the Catskill bridge approach. We hope it doesn’t look like Exit 24 of the New York State Thruway: a drag race as drivers try to get onto the single eastbound lane first. Our advice to motorists is buy your EZPass, put away your change and drive responsibly through the gantry. Take it slow. Keep it safe. And enjoy the scenic ride.

ANOTHER VIEW

For too long, judges and lawmakers have granted virtually automatic deference to police who insist that in the stress of an uncertain moment, they felt such fear that it was reasonable to fire their guns at an unarmed subject. That judicial norm has gone all but unchallenged in U.S. courts - even in cases where scrutiny of the evidence suggests that police shootings were objectively unreasonable. It was applied again by a federal judge in Virginia who on Friday dismissed the manslaughter case against two U.S. Park Police officers charged in the death of Bijan Ghaisar near D.C. in 2017. Ghaisar, a 25-year-old accountant who had no weapon, was driving on the George Washington Memorial Parkway when he was rear-ended in a fender bender, then kept driving. The Park Police soon encountered him; that’s when the trouble started. He was certainly guilty of failing to heed the officers’ repeated attempts to apprehend him - he disobeyed them three times by driving off after he had stopped. Yet there is no way to reasonably

conclude, from the video shot by a trailing Fairfax County police patrol car, that Ghaisar’s conduct was aggressive or threatening, or that the lives of the officers were in peril at the moment they began shooting, firing at him 10 times. In dismissing the case against the two officers, U.S. District Judge Claude M. Hilton concluded that under the circumstances, their actions met the legal standard of “necessary and proper.” That assertion is plainly at odds with the video evidence, which shows the officers rushing at Ghaisar with guns drawn for no other reason than he had disrespected them by failing to pull over. The judge also noted that Ghaisar appeared to have been smoking marijuana and that his driving was erratic. The judge reached his conclusion, based on written assertions by the officers themselves, without a trial or any scrutiny of the officers’ testimony. He applied the old-school benefit of the doubt that police have enjoyed pretty much forever. That benefit of the doubt rests on the question: Who are we to second-guess an officer’s

subjective decisionmaking in the heat of the moment? Without doubt, police have dangerous and critical jobs, and any judgment must take that into account. But that cannot mean that police officers who kill unarmed individuals are exempt from any real scrutiny, no matter the circumstances.. Ghaisar had no weapon. At the moment the police discharged their guns, he was steering away from one of the officers who was moving toward the front of his vehicle. His Jeep did not “lurch forward” as Judge Hilton wrote; it crept at slower-than-walking speed. The officers, who were visibly irate, now cite that as their pretext for taking a life. Here’s a question for the courts: Given that the Ghaisar case began as a minor traffic incident, was it remotely reasonable for the officers to draw their guns in the first place? That question seems not to have occurred to Hilton. It would have certainly been raised had their been a trial. Virginia prosecutors say they will appeal the judge’s ruling. Here’s hoping the appeals court watches the videotape with its eyes wide open.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ‘I learned to make my mind large, as the universe is large, so that there is room for contradictions.’ MAXINE HONG KINGSTON

Bannon’s contempt of Congress is lawless and ludicrous WASHINGTON — Pursuing criminal contempt charges against Stephen Bannon is a terrible way for the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection to obtain the Trump aide’s testimony. It is also pretty much the only available option — and one that Attorney General Merrick Garland should quickly pursue. Bannon’s nose-thumbing at the House select committee is predictable, infuriating and dangerous. It’s predictable because, well, Bannon. He is a professional provocateur. Were it not for Donald Trump’s 11th-hour pardon, he would be facing criminal trial for allegedly defrauding credulous donors who believed they were helping build a border wall instead of lining Bannon’s pockets. It’s infuriating because Bannon clearly has evidence relevant to the committee’s investigation; because his claim that he somehow isn’t obliged even to show up in response to a subpoena is so lawless; and because his assertion that his testimony is absolutely protected by executive privilege so ludicrous. Most of all, it’s dangerous, because if this intransigence is allowed to stand, it will signal the end of effective congressional oversight — if we’re not there already. Criminal contempt is a terrible way for the committee to proceed because it’s not actually designed to obtain Bannon’s testimony. A misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in prison and a fine of $100,000, contempt is supposed to punish Bannon for his flagrant disregard of the congressional subpoena, not force him to comply. The way — in theory — to get Bannon to turn over documents and testify is for the House to pursue a different avenue: having the House go to court to have its subpoena enforced. But we’ve seen that play before, and it is interminable. It took more than two years for the House Judiciary Committee to obtain testimony from former Trump White House counsel Donald McGahn, and that was the fast track. The battle

WASHINGTON POST

RUTH

MARCUS between the House and the Justice Department over the Obama-era Fast and Furious gun sting operation took seven years to resolve. Under the current circumstances, with the Jan. 6 committee operating under time pressure, that’s just too slow. Criminal contempt could be pursued quickly — if the Department of Justice agrees to act. Before Thursday’s House vote on Bannon, Congress has made criminal contempt referrals — they go to the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia — six times in recent years. All six times, the White House and the House were controlled by opposing parties. It was fanciful to imagine that the Justice Department would prosecute an official or former official of the same administration. And so, in every case, the Justice Department declined to proceed with the prosecution. This time is different. This time, Bannon should be prosecuted. President Biden was wrong to say that, as he acknowledged Thursday night. The president — any president — should stay far away from telling the Justice Department whom to indict for fear of making a prosecution look like a political vendetta. But failing to prosecute Bannon would make a mockery of congressional oversight, and without implicating some of the legitimate concerns that argue against enforcing the congressional contempt power in other circumstances. Executive privilege doesn’t work the way Bannon seems to imagine. For one thing, it has to be asserted — by a president. Biden has waived any

privilege claim given the importance of the Jan. 6 inquiry. Trump, who may or may not have a legitimate claim as a former president, hasn’t formally invoked it before the committee. And even if some privilege somehow applies to Bannon, who wasn’t even a government official at the time in question, it wouldn’t be absolute, barring testimony about every subject. The Supreme Court has said: The privilege applies to conversations limited to communications “in performance of (a President’s) responsibilities of his office” and “in the process of shaping policies and making decisions.” Unless fomenting insurrection is part of a president’s duties, it’s hard to see what’s privileged here. This was not policymaking; it was democracy destruction. The contempt-of-Congress statute provides that once a contempt citation is passed by either body, it goes to the U.S. attorney, “whose duty it shall be to bring the matter before the grand jury for its action.” The Justice Department, in a 1984 opinion by the Office of Legal Counsel, concluded that “shall” didn’t mean “must” — at least in the case of “an Executive Branch official who, on the orders of the President, asserts the President’s claim of executive privilege.” But that’s not the situation here. Why is Bannon’s testimony necessary? Bannon prodded Trump to “focus on January 6th,” according to The Post’s Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, and was in frequent contact with the White House in the lead-up to that day. “All hell is going to break loose tomorrow,” Bannon said on his podcast on Jan. 5. On Jan. 6, Bannon monitored the uprising from a “war room” at the Willard Hotel. What did Bannon know about what was going to happen Jan. 6, and when did he know it? These are legitimate questions to which the committee deserves answers. Ruth Marcus’ email address is ruthmarcus@washpost.com.

BRIEFS

Oxi Day aboard USS SLATER ALBANY — Millions around the world will commemorate OXI Day, a day honoring Greece’s courageous resistance during World War II. The day will be remembered by USS SLATER and the Capital Region’s Hellenic Community with a brief program beginning at 9 a.m. aboard the ship. In 1940 Mussolini delivered an ultimatum to Greece’s Prime Minister demanding the entry of the Italian army and the occupation of Greek territory. The Prime Minister refused, and the response was quickly echoed by the people of Athens as “Oxi,” meaning “No.” The Italian forces entered Greece through the steep Pindos Mountains. There they met fierce and unexpected resistance. Hitler was forced to delay the invasion of Russia and extend their campaign into the winter in order to subdue the Greeks when the Italians failed in their efforts. This fatal diversion proved to be a great advantage for the Allied forces. Winston Churchill paid homage to the Greek resistance by claiming, “…until now we would say that the

John F. Menegio October 22, 2021 John F. Menegio, 79, a lifelong resident of Chatham, NY passed away at home on October 22, 2021 of natural causes. He is survived by his daughter, Tammi; Son, Mike and wife Jan. He also leaves behind his beloved grandchildren Kaitlyn, Mikala, Gianna and Mitchell. Born to Italian immigrants, Giovanni (Minneci) Menegio and Girolama “Mamie” Sclafani, he spent his first years living on the family farm in Old Chatham, NY. After a farming accident claimed the life of his father, Mamie moved John and his siblings to the Village of Chatham where he lived for the remainder of his formative years. Often seen wearing a black leather jacket and slicked back hair he was the product of a bygone era. Upon graduating from Chatham High School in 1960, John enlisted in the United States Coast Guard. A majority of his enlistment was spent at Governor’s Island, NY where he was responsible for patrolling the waterways surrounding the City. After his four year enlistment, John returned to Chatham and married his former wife Judy. Soon after, they purchased a piece of land where the two managed to build their own home with the help of friends, neighbors and long days. Neither had any real experience in construction. However, that was the spirit of John. “How hard can it be?” was a phrase he commonly said. He wasn’t afraid to try something for the first time. John spent the majority of his working life as a salesman in the auto, advertising and utilities industries. He built a reputation for honesty and integrity. Later in life, he was known for living simply with pleasures like a good eggplant parm, lasagna or Italian cookies. Graveside services will be held at St. James Cemetery on Rte. 66, Ghent, NY, Saturday, October 30 at 10:00 am. Funeral arrangements are being handled by French, Gifford, Preiter & Blasl.

US aid to renters picked up to $2.8 billion in September Jill R. Shah Bloomberg News

State and local governments picked up the pace of distributing emergency rental assistance funds in September amid a push from the Biden administration to accelerate payments to households. A program record of $2.8 billion was released last month, bringing the total to $10.7 billion, out of the $46.5 billion appropriated by Congress to prevent evictions amid the Covid-19 pandemic, the U.S. Treasury Department said Monday. The total covers more than 2 million payments. The pace of rental aid distribution has accelerated in the last two months under a concerted push from the federal government following a widely-reported slow start over the first half of this year. Still, some state and local governments are lagging, including 17 states that have expended less than 15% of allocated funds.

“The numbers here show a continued acceleration that this program has had a meaningful effect in preventing the level of feared evictions, post the moratorium,” Gene Sperling, the administration’s coordinator for pandemic relief programs, said on a call with reporters. “But there are still painful gaps.” As required by the law, the Treasury Department will soon begin to reclaim excess funds from state and local governments who have allocations that exceed their needs or administrative capacity and reallocate them to other areas with demonstrated need. State and local governments that have already substantially expended funds from the first round of assistance are also eligible for more funding in the second wave of rental assistance approved under the American Rescue Plan.

Delgado: $1.15B grants will build rural broadband By Kate Lisa Johnson Newspaper Corp.

CATSKILL — Local officials can start applying next month for billions of dollars in federal aid reserved for broadband build-outs in rural communities, aiming to connect the 1,300 remaining Greene County addresses without internet. U.S. Department of Agriculture Under Secretary Xochitl Torres Small met with Greene County broadband service providers and utility owners, legislators and state and federal representatives at Catskill High School on Saturday on her first stop of a national tour to announce an investment of $1.15 billion under the USDA ReConnect Program. “You’ve heard a lot about the common challenges that you all are facing in reaching that truly last mile,” Torres Small said. “I think the theme has been public safety ... to making sure that people can get the health care and services they need in an emergency ... so they can get direct telemedicine at their door, making sure that we know that no matter where in the country, you are you have that fundamental public safety.” Most of Greene County’s remaining households without internet are concentrated on the mountaintop — one of the county’s most desolately populated areas. “The mountaintops can thrive if they have that basic infrastructure to compete when it comes to the services and the expectations folks have when they want to enjoy this incredible, incredible place,” she added. Applications for the third round of the federal ReConnect Program open Nov. 24 through February to cover costs of construction, improvement or acquisition of facilities and equipment needed to provide broadband service in eligible rural areas. Grants, loans and a combination are available up to $25 million and $50 million for each community, depending on the requested project and award. Areas with the lowest connection rate will be prioritized. About 186 miles of roadway in Greene County lack the fiber cables or infrastructure to connect each southern Capital Region residence to the internet, Deputy County Administrator Warren Hart said. “We went from one of the counties that had the smallest amount of coverage to, today, we have 96% coverage of residents of addresses in Greene County,” Hart said. “Approximately 1,300 addresses still need broadband access, and for those households, it is

KATE LISA/JOHNSON NEWSPAPER CORP.

U.S. Department of Agriculture Under Secretary Xochitl Torres Small announces $1.15 billion in available USDA grants for rural broadband build-outs outside Catskill High School on Saturday. The funding will be prioritized for communities with lacking broadband internet connection, common throughout Columbia and Greene counties and the 19th District.

vitally important that we serve 100%... and that we still need to work with our partners to pole fiber.” The county’s broadband utility companies, including Mid-Hudson Cablevision, Verizon, Spectrum, StateTelephone Company and others, have expanded high-speed internet infrastructure securing millions of dollars in federal and state grants over the last several years. USDA invested $656,052,244 in high-speed broadband infrastructure for rural customers across 33 states in the first round, and $852,077,212 for projects in the second round of funding, for a total of $1,508,129,456 invested through the ReConnect Program, according to usda.gov. “Greene County has a very positive broadband story to tell; It’s one of progress, partnerships, and a lot of persistence,” Hart said. “I’m pleased that we’ve made this much progress to date, and there’s more work to be done.” Torres Small has a close working relationship with U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, D-19,

who she previously served with on the House Agriculture Committee. Delgado, a member of the Rural Broadband Caucus and Rural Broadband Task Force, represents all of Columbia and Greene counties within the 19th District — the nation’s eighth-most rural district. The funding will help communities across the 11 counties within the district that have struggled for years to access high-speed broadband internet, which help students taking classes remotely, small business owners trying to build their following, farmers using digital tools for success, senior citizens or veterans using telehealth medicine and more, Delgado said. “What we’re talking about here is a basic necessity — that’s it,” the congressman said Saturday. “We’re not talking about luxury, we’re talking about something that every single American needs to have in the 21st Century. And this ReConnect program is a part of the puzzle — a big part of making sure that we get to a place where we can have 100% coverage.”

US will allow private sponsors to help Afghan refugee resettlement Caroline Simon CQ-Roll Call

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration on Monday announced a new program that would allow groups of private citizens to sponsor Afghan refugees, a move that could bolster a weakened U.S. resettlement system tested by thousands of recent arrivals. Under the program, groups of individuals may form “sponsor circles” to help Afghan refugees during their initial resettlement in the United States. The sponsor circles will be responsible for helping refugees with basic services during their first 90 days in the United States, managing tasks traditionally undertaken by nonprofit resettlement groups. The groups, among other things, would help secure housing, provide basic necessities like furniture, clothing and food, and help refugees access government benefits. “Americans of all walks of life have expressed strong

interest in helping to welcome these individuals,” the State Department said in its announcement. “The Sponsor Circle Program for Afghans harnesses this outpouring of support and enables individuals to become directly involved in the welcome and integration of our new neighbors.” The program is a partnership with the Community Sponsorship Hub, a project of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisers Inc., which will vet, certify and train the individuals in the sponsor circles. The groups also must raise $2,275 per Afghan newcomer. Earlier this month, the Biden administration said roughly 7,000 of the Afghans who arrived in the United States since fleeing Talibancontrolled Kabul had been resettled into American communities. But most of the evacuees — more than 53,000 — continued to wait at U.S. domestic military bases. An additional 15,000 remained at

overseas sites, waiting to be vetted. The arrival of the Afghan refugees, following their country’s August collapse, has put tremendous pressure on the complicated U.S. resettlement infrastructure, which reduced staff and resources during the Trump administration years when few refugees were being admitted. The Biden administration, despite lofty promises to rebuild the overall refugee system, has struggled: Just 11,411 refugees were resettled in fiscal 2021, the lowest number in the history of the current resettlement program. Allowing private citizens to help directly with refugee resettlement could help fill the gaps, advocates say. “With the current capacity challenges, a parallel model like this could be helpful for reaching higher refugee admissions,” said Krish O’Mara Vignarajah, president of Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, a refugee

resettlement group. The administration aims to resettle 125,000 refugees in fiscal 2022, a promise that dates to President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign. The administration had hinted at plans to expand private pathways for refugees in its refugee admissions proposal to Congress in September. The State Department said it aimed to launch a private refugee sponsorship program, through which “community members will take on the primary responsibility of welcoming and providing initial support to newly arrived refugees, helping facilitate their successful integration.” Private sponsorship of refugees is not new, Vignarajah said. Before 1980, church groups and private individuals were the primary source of refugee sponsors. The system exists already in Canada, where large numbers of refugees are guided through their initial months by Canadian citizens. However, Vignarajah

stressed that the citizens sponsoring refugees will need proper support from the existing resettlement infrastructure. “With that said, it’s imperative that it is implemented thoughtfully and with sufficient institutional support,” she said. “We want to make sure that both refugees and the Americans who welcome them feel positioned for successful outcomes.” (C)2021 CQ-Roll Call, Inc., All Rights Reserved.

More than 1 million people, or about 13.8% of New York households lack high-speed broadband internet connection, according to a report released by state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli’s Office last month. One in 3 of those households are low-income, or surviving on fewer than $20,000 annually. “The report said that, predominantly, rural communities are the ones that are being left behind — as high as 23%,” Delgado said. “So we’re going to do all we can to make sure we close the gap here [and] finish that last mile.” Detailed application and eligibility information is available at usda.gov/reconnect Assemblymember Chris Tague, R-Schoharie, Greene County Legislature Chair Pat Linger, R-New Baltimore; Mark Evans, Greene County Paramedics President and vice president of State Telephone Company; and representatives of Sen.

Is a high-deductible health plan right for you? By Tim Bartholomew

INVESTING WITH TIM

For Columbia-Greene Media

In 2020, 31% of U.S. workers with employer-sponsored health insurance had a high-deductible health plan (HDHP), up from 24% in 2015. These plans are also available outside the workplace through private insurers and the Health Insurance Marketplace. Although HDHP participation has grown rapidly, the most common plan — covering almost half of U.S. workers — is a traditional preferred provider organization (PPO). If you are thinking about enrolling in an HDHP or already enrolled in one, here are some factors to consider when comparing an HDHP to a PPO.

UP-FRONT SAVINGS The average annual employee premium for HDHP family coverage in 2020 was $4,852 versus $6,017 for a PPO, a savings of $1,165 per year.3 In addition, many employers contribute to a health savings account (HSA) for the employee, and contributions by the employer or the employee are tax advantaged (see below). Taken together, these features could add up to substantial savings that can be used to pay for current and future medical expenses.

PAY AS YOU GO In return for lower premiums, you pay more out of pocket for medical services with an HDHP until you reach the annual deductible. Deductible. An HDHP has a higher deductible than a PPO, but PPO deductibles have been rising, so consider the difference between plan deductibles and whether the deductible is per person or per family. PPOs may have a separate deductible (or no deductible) for prescription drugs, but the HDHP deductible will apply to all covered medical spending. Copays. PPOs typically have copays that allow you to obtain certain services and prescription drugs with a defined

TIM

BARTHOLOMEW payment before meeting your deductible. With an HDHP, you pay out of pocket until you meet your deductible, but costs may be reduced through the insurer’s negotiated rate. Consider the difference between the copay and the negotiated rate for a typical service such as a doctor visit. Certain types of preventive care and preventive medicines may be provided at no cost under both types of plans. Maximums. Most health insurance plans have annual and lifetime out-of-pocket maximums above which the insurer pays all medical expenses. HDHP maximums may be the same or similar to that of PPO plans. (Some PPO plans have a separate annual maximum for prescription drugs.) If you have high medical costs that exceed the annual maximum, your total out-of-pocket costs for that year would typically be lower for an HDHP with the savings on premiums.

YOUR CHOICES AND PREFERENCES Both PPOs and HDHPs offer incentives to use health-care providers within a network, and the network may be exactly the same if the plans are offered by the same insurance company. Make sure your preferred doctors are included in the network before enrolling. Also consider whether you are comfortable using the HDHP structure. Although it may save money over the course of a year, you might be hesitant to obtain appropriate care because of the higher outof-pocket expense at the time of service.

HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNTS High-deductible health plans are designed to be paired with a tax-advantaged health savings account (HSA) that can be used to pay medical expenses incurred after the HSA is established. HSA contributions are typically made through pre-tax payroll deductions, but in most cases they can also be made as tax-deductible contributions directly to the HSA provider. HSA funds, including any earnings if the account has an investment option, can be withdrawn free of federal income tax and penalties as long as the money is spent on qualified health-care expenses. (Some states do not follow federal tax rules on HSAs.) The assets in an HSA can be retained in the account or rolled over to a new HSA if you change employers or retire. Unspent HSA balances can be used to pay future medical expenses whether you are enrolled in an HDHP or not; however, you must be enrolled in an HDHP to establish and contribute to an HSA.

Discover Albany appoints new member to board of directors ALBANY – Discover Albany has announced the newest addition to its Board of Directors, Shannon Licygiewicz, General Manager of the Albany Capital Center (ACC). Licygiewicz joins the 2021 inductees Trent Griffin-Braaf of Tech Valley Shuttle, Tammis Groft of the Albany Institute of History & Art, and Linda Neil from the Holiday Inn Express Wolf Road, all of whom were elected to the board earlier this year. Licygiewicz was appointed to the board by Discover

Albany Chairperson Leola Edelin, General Manager of the Renaissance Albany, to fill the seat vacated upon the departure of former ACC General Manager Doug McClaine. Shannon assumed the role of general manager in early 2021. “It is with great honor that I accept a position on the Discover Albany Board,” said Licygiewicz. “This group’s teamwork and leadership is an invaluable resource. I am thrilled to be part of this amazing group of individuals

who provide such a great service to our destination and look forward to being part of the future of Albany!” “We are thrilled to have Shannon Licygiewicz join the Discover Albany Board of Directors. Our team works closely with the staff at the Albany Capital Center so her participation and input are incredible assets to our organization,” said Jill Delaney, president and CEO of Discover Albany.

Berkshire Botanical Garden announces a 2-year interim executive director STOCKBRIDGE, Mass. — Mike Beck, BBG’s Executive Director, is taking a sabbatical to spend two years in England. He will accompany his husband, a corporate lawyer with strong expertise in the technology sector, who is pursuing a career opportunity ‘across the pond’ that will extend from this September through 2023. During that time, Beck’s duties will be fulfilled by incoming Interim Executive Director Thaddeus Thompson. Thompson served as the Director of Institutional Advancement at Tower Hill Botanic Garden in Boylston, Massachusetts, during a period of extraordinary growth and development. He is also a member of the Board of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, which oversees the Gardens at Elm Bank in Wellesley. Thompson was offered the position after a diligent candidate search conducted by members of BBG’s Board of Trustees. “Thaddeus emerged as an outstanding candidate for a number of reasons,” says BBG Board Chair, Matt Larkin, “including an impressive record of fundraising accomplishments. His skills come to us at a perfect juncture, with Mike going on leave and BBG getting ready to launch the first phase of an exciting new Master Plan to enhance the garden.” “I’m so grateful that the Board wanted to keep me on, and was willing to do whatever it took to find an interim solution,” says Beck. “I’ve been working with Thaddeus over the summer to prepare for the transition; it’s reassuring to know I can leave the Garden in his capable hands for the duration of my leave. He will be a great asset to BBG.”

Thaddeus Thompson

That the Board was willing to consider a two-year sabbatical is testament to how much Mike Beck is respected and well-liked by the Garden’s staff and Trustees. His leadership, for close to eight years, has attracted a strong and talented staff with a great sense of teamwork. During his tenure, the Garden has expanded in many ways, including an arts program that has put BBG’s Leonhardt Galleries on the map as a significant cultural venue; a Music Mondays program that is attracting new audiences to the Garden; a new Tea Room offering refreshments; and exponential growth in attendance. He also successfully led the Garden through the pandemic, keeping the grounds open on a limited basis as a community service, and keeping the staff fully intact, with no layoffs. The search for qualified leadership meant finding a candidate interested in a temporary, long-term position. For Thompson, it fit well with his professional background and his personal passions. “As someone who grew up in a family that was

passionate about gardening and wine-making, it has been a privilege to work within the botanic garden world over much of the last decade. My wife and I also grew up in the region and have deep roots here, so I’m particularly excited to help BBG during this next chapter of its development. It is a true gem of the Berkshires.” While Thompson will work independently, with full executive powers, he intends to communicate regularly with Beck, keeping him informed of developments and drawing from Beck’s extensive knowledge of the Garden, its staff, and its community. “This is a win/win for both Mike and Thaddeus,” says Larkin. “Mike will benefit from a brilliant refresher course, visiting gardens in England and Europe, making new connections that will advance our educational offerings, while Thaddeus will utilize his substantial skills and experience to lead our Garden into a new era of growth. We are excited to provide this career opportunity to two exceptional talents and know it will benefit BBG immensely.”

Disneyland ticket prices go up as much as 8%, with parking rising 20% Hugo Martin Los Angeles Times

Disneyland and neighboring California Adventure Park raised most daily ticket prices Monday and are adopting an even higher price to visit on the most popular days of the year, such as Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Daily ticket prices are jumping 3% to 8%, with standard daily parking rates going up by 20%. The parks last raised ticket prices by as much as 5% in February of 2020 -- shortly before the parks closed for 13 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To manage crowds, the park adopted a fivetiered pricing scheme in 2016 that charges more for days when demand is highest and less on slow days. The price for lowest demand days -- such as Tuesdays and Wednesdays in late January -- remains unchanged at $104. But prices have increased for the four other tiers, and the resort added a highest-price sixth tier, $164 for a oneday visit to a single park on the highest demand days of the year, including select weekends, holidays and spring break. The previous highest one-day, one-park ticket was $154. The prices are the same for visiting Disneyland and neighboring Disney California Adventure Park. The prices for tickets that let you visit two parks in one day -- Park Hopper -- are increasing by as much as 7%. The inflation rate in the U.S. was 5.4% for the 12 months that ended in September. The price increases come despite several popular attractions at the parks remaining shut since the parks reopened in April from the pandemic closure, a complaint that theme park fans have voiced often on social media. The nightly fireworks show, water-and-light displays such as Fantasmic and World of Color and most daily costumed parades have yet to return to the parks. Higher costs may turn away some Disney fans upset that they are being charged more for fewer attractions, but the price hike is likely to generate more revenue overall for Walt Disney Co. even with a slight drop in attendance, said Martin

ANAHEIM, CA - May 03: Visitors pass through Sleepy Beauty Castle at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, CA, as visitors return to the park with covid-safety restrictions in place, including the park only being at 25% capacity, Monday, May 3, 2021.

Lewison, a business administration professor and theme park expert at Farmingdale State College in New York. “I think many guests will find this a very bitter pill at this point in time,” he said. “But it wouldn’t be the end of the world for the company if attendance dipped a little bit.” Disneyland representatives noted that California Adventure Park added a six-acre Marvel superhero-themed land -- called Avengers Campus -- in June and the resort plans to launch several holiday attractions, including a new Christmasthemed parade. Since reopening, Disney has launched a handful of new efforts to address the theme park’s biggest headaches -- long ride queues and crowded parks.

In August, Disney overhauled its 37-year-old annual pass program, replacing it with a new Magic Key program that requires visitors to make reservations before going to the theme parks, while continuing to block out access on the busiest days. By requiring reservations, the new program enables Disney park operators to better manage crowds on a day-to-day basis. The Magic Key passes are generally priced lower than the previous annual passes and include four options, ranging in price from $399 per year for Southern California residents to $1,399 for the option that has no blocked-out days and the greatest flexibility for making reservations. Longtime annual pass holders have complained about the Magic Key program, saying the reservation system makes it too difficult to visit

the parks on high-demand days, even for those with the most expensive pass. The resort’s reservation calendar shows that no reservations are available for nearly every weekend over the next two months, but that can change as Disney has occasionally opened up reservations. A few weeks after the Magic Key program was launched, Disney adopted a new mobile app that allows parkgoers willing to pay extra to skip the wait for the most popular attractions. The new app -- known as the Disney Genie -replaced two older systems at Disneyland -- the free FastPass and the MaxPass, which cost $20 per day -- that let parkgoers reserve a time slot for an attraction to avoid the traditional queues and instead zip into an expedited Fastpass Lane. Disney Genie is a free app that recommends a visit itinerary based on the attractions, shows and eateries chosen by users at the start of the day. Disney Genie+ is a similar app that costs $20 per day at Disneyland and can be used to make reservations to get on a ride at a specific time, skipping the traditional queues and giving access instead to a new Lightning Lane. Disneyland will operate more than 15 attractions with Lightning Lanes, and the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida will include more than 40 attractions with Lightning Lanes. Users can make only one reservation at a time. But to skip the lines on the most popular attractions, such as as Radiator Springs Racers at Disney California Adventure and Rise of the Resistance at Disneyland, park visitors will have to pay a separate fee that will vary based on the date, the attraction and the park. The exact price won’t be announced for several weeks, Disney representatives say. During a recent earnings report, Bob Chapek, Disney’s chief executive, said reservations for the company’s domestic theme parks remain strong. “We’ve implemented a reservation system that’s going to enable us to spread our demand, increase our yield, and improve our guest experience at the same time,” he said.

has divided up vaccine inventory — which comes from the state in large numbers — with neighboring counties such as Columbia or Albany, Groden said. The county’s mobile testing unit continues to make the rounds in local towns, offering free COVID testing for anyone

who is symptomatic, has been in contact with a person who has tested positive within seven to 10 days, and for students in kindergarten through 12th grade who return to school after experiencing symptoms or positive contact. The mobile unit will visit Hunter Town Hall, 5742 Route

23A in Tannersville on Tuesday, and will travel to the wastewater treatment plant in Windham on Wednesday. It will return to Catskill, at Lumberyard on Water Street, Thursday and Friday. The testing unit will be at each site from 10 a.m. to noon, and is equipped with four

testing machines using the ID NOW test, manufactured by pharmaceutical company Abbott. The test involves a nasal swab to test for presence of the virus. Test results take about 15 minutes. No appointment is needed and testing is free of charge.

in investing in communities where their employees will have access to quality housing, recreation and medical care, and we are pleased to be working with Columbia Memorial Health and Greene County in support of their vision for multiple buildings in the medical plaza.” The county is currently working with Central Hudson Gas & Electric to extend natural gas service from Jefferson Heights to the site, as well as a second site at Exit 21 East, where the former Quality Inn was located. Demolition of

the inn was completed in early 2019. Extension of the natural gas lines will also make the service available to homes and businesses along Route 23B. The cost of the extension project is $1.5 million, which is being being paid for with funds the county received through the American Rescue Plan Act, according to the county. “I am proud to report that the investment in natural gas infrastructure to the site will have no negative impact on our county budget,” Greene County Legislature Chairman

Patrick Linger, R-New Baltimore, said. “This investment of federal funds will directly benefit the delivery of health care services in our communities and spur economic growth across the county and the region.” Plans are also being developed to site a new countyowned Community Health Center to replace the Mental Health Building next to Angela Canna Town Park in Cairo, county officials said. Health services at the new site would include mental health care as well as public health services

such as vaccine administration, clinical testing and pandemic or other emergency response services, according to county officials. The county and Columbia Memorial Health are also finalizing plans for the development of CMH Medical Plaza West, which will supplement services currently available at CMH’s Greene Medical Arts facility in Jefferson Heights. “CMH’s affiliation with Albany Med has positioned us to envision providing specialty care services currently not available in Greene County,

providing local residents with convenient access to even more care,” Jay Cahalan, president and CEO of Columbia Memorial Health, said. “Thanks to the good work and vision of the Greene County IDA and a strong partnership with Greene County government on the infrastructure required for CMH initiatives, this project will both add health care resources and further expand health care service offerings in Greene County.”

Chiefs buyers, Dolphins sellers ahead of Nov. 2 deadline Aaron Wilson Field Level Media

Ladies and gentlemen, start your rampant trade rumors. As the NFL trade deadline approaches on Nov. 2, several players could be involved in trade discussions that may or may not result in actual deals. Although only 11 teams have more than $7 million in salary cap space as Week 7 concludes, that shouldn’t be a major obstacle to some deals being hammered out. Here’s a look at the potential buyers and sellers head into the league deadline: –Buyers –Kansas City Chiefs The Chiefs were already heavily involved in trying to land former Houston Texans pass rusher Whitney Mercilus before he chose the Green Bay Packers, according to league sources. The Chiefs could pursue Miami Dolphins defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah next. Frank Clark has been a disappointment this year. They could also use a safety next to standout Tyrann Mathieu with Juan Thornhill taking over as a starter last week. New York Jets safety Marcus Maye makes sense for the Chiefs. –Green Bay Packers The Packers need help at cornerback and made inquiries about Stephon Gilmore when he left the New England Patriots to join the Carolina Panthers. With Jaire Alexander and Kevin King dealing with injuries, the Packers should consider calling the Miami Dolphins and asking about Xavien Howard and Byron Jones. –Tampa Bay Buccaneers The defending Super Bowl champions need assistance in the secondary. They lost Richard Sherman to another injury, and having a versatile safety like Marcus Maye (Jets) would give Tampa Bay a definite boost. –Baltimore Ravens Although quarterback Lamar Jackson is an MVP candidate, the running back position has been decimated by injuries. It would make sense

to try to trade for the Indianapolis Colts’ Marlon Mack, the Buccaneers’ Ronald Jones or even Phillip Lindsay or Mark Ingram from the Houston Texans. –Sellers –New York Jets The Jets won’t be signing safety Marcus Maye, their franchise player, to a long-term deal. Maye wants out, so it would make sense for the Jets to simply move on and get something in exchange for him. Ideally, something better than a third-round compensatory selection should he leave New York as a free agent next offseason. –Houston Texans Disgruntled Pro Bowl quarterback Deshaun Watson’s trade outlook is complicated by his unresolved legal situation (22 civil lawsuits and 10 active criminal complaints alleging sexual assault and/or sexual harassment with no charges filed). However, there’s still a ton of potential value from the NFL’s passing yardage leader from a year ago. The Dolphins are the primary remaining suitor, but a deal is not assured of happening at all despite reports to the contrary. Other potential Texans trade chips include wide receiver Brandin Cooks, safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. and running back Phillip Lindsay. –Philadelphia Eagles The Eagles could be looking for more draft capital even after unloading tight end Zach Ertz. Derek Barnett, Avonte Maddox and Darius Slay all come to mind as attractive trade candidates. –Miami Dolphins The Dolphins’ season has unraveled quickly, and the 1-6 start has spurred speculation that Miami could be unloading talent. Among the prime potential players on the block are Emmanuel Ogbah, Xavien Howard and Byron Jones.

Daniel Jones, Giants defense overwhelm Carolina in win Pat Leonard New York Daily News

Daniel Jones was down all of his top receivers Sunday, so he became one himself. The Giants’ quarterback made a one-handed, 16-yard catch of a Dante Pettis pass in the third quarter that got fans on their feet in a 25-3 get-right win over the pathetic Carolina Panthers. Jones finished off the drive with a TD pass to Pettis, buying much-needed breathing room from an uncomfortably close 5-3 lead that the Giants had held since early in the second quarter. The TD pass to Pettis with 59 seconds left in the third quarter put the Giants up, 12-3, and basically ended the game. Former Jets QB Sam Darnold was so bad that he got benched early in the fourth quarter for backup P.J. Walker. With the NFL trade deadline just over a week away, the Panthers have never looked more like a Deshaun Watson suitor than they did on Sunday. Sources had told the Daily News late in the week the Panthers could be the primary challenger to the Dolphins for Watson, though Miami remains the favorite. The Giants improved to 2-5 with their first win in three weeks. The Panthers (3-4) lost their fourth straight since running back Christian McCaffrey got hurt. On top of that, Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes got kneed in the head in Kansas City’s loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, adding intrigue to the buildup to next week’s Giants Monday Night visit to Arrowhead. The Giants defense totaled 6.5 sacks, led by rookie Azeez

Ojulari with 2.5 teeing off on Carolina’s banged-up O-line. The Panthers’ receivers were dropping passes left and right. And Darnold was erratic. One might say he was seeing ghosts. Jones finished 22-of-33 passing for 203 yards and one TD, plus seven rushes for 29 yards and one right-handed catch for 16 yards. The Giants said he is the third QB in NFL history with 200-plus yards passing, 25-plus yards rushing, and 15-plus yards receiving in the same game. Jones did all of that without injured weapons Kadarius Toney (ankle), Kenny Golladay (knee), Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Saquon Barkley (ankle). He was also missing starting left tackle Andrew Thomas (foot, ankle). Darnold was 16-of-25 for 111

yards and an interception. Carolina traded second, fourth and sixth-round picks for him, but they clearly still need a quarterback. The Giants led at halftime for the first time all season, 5-3. Their offense was frustratingly unproductive in the first half. The Panthers’ was simply worse. An active Leonard Williams forced Darnold into an early-second quarter safety on intentional grounding in the end zone. Those were the only points outside of field goals exchanged by both teams. The Panthers were pinned on their own goal line because the Giants offense had turned the ball over on downs, failing to score on three straight plays from inside the 1. The Giants’ offense

committed five of the team’s six first half penalties. Three were on the offensive line: two illegal men downfield calls on Matt Peart and Nate Solder, and a false start on Will Hernandez. Hernandez got Jones sacked on a simple stunt by Brian Burns. And Jeremy Chinn blasted Jones into an intentional grounding when he beat center Billy Price. James Bradberry intercepted Darnold late in the second quarter, though, to snuff out a Carolina drive inside the red zone and take the lead into the half. Sunday marked the first time all season the Giants defense did not give up a touchdown in the final two minutes of the first half.

NFL roundup: Joe Burrow, Bengals end Ravens’ five-game winning streak Field Level Media

Joe Burrow threw for a career-high 416 yards and three touchdowns and Ja’Marr Chase had 201 yards receiving as the Cincinnati Bengals throttled the host Baltimore Ravens, 41-17, to move into first place in the AFC North. Chase and the Cincinnati offense sparkled while the defense did enough to contain Lamar Jackson, who had never lost to the Bengals. Chase caught eight passes, including an 82-yard touchdown. Tight end C.J. Uzomah had 91 receiving yards and two touchdowns for Cincinnati (5-2). Jackson completed 15 of 31 passes for 257 yards and a touchdown and led Baltimore (5-2) with 88 rushing yards. The Bengals sacked him five times on their way to halting the Ravens’ five-game win streak. Buccaneers 38, Bears 3 Tom Brady threw for 211 yards and four touchdowns, including the 600th of his illustrious career, and Tampa Bay cruised to a win over visiting Chicago. Brady became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for 600 touchdowns when he fired a strike to Mike Evans in the final seconds of the first quarter. Evans

caught two other touchdowns passes from Brady, and Chris Godwin had one touchdown reception for Tampa Bay (6-1), which won its fourth straight. Khalil Herbert had 18 carries for 100 yards for Chicago (3-4), which trailed 35-3 at halftime and never recovered. Justin Fields was under constant duress and completed 22 of 32 passes for 184 yards and three interceptions. He was sacked four times and lost two fumbles. Cardinals 31, Texans 5 Kyler Murray passed for 261 yards and three touchdowns as Arizona overcame a slow start and then cruised past Houston in Glendale, Ariz. Murray produced scoring passes to DeAndre Hopkins, Christian Kirk and Zach Ertz in what was a somewhat uneven performance for the Cardinals (7-0) and their standout signal caller. Murray was sacked four times, including by Texans defensive end Jacob Martin for a safety in the first quarter, and had his streak of pass attempts without an interception snapped at 135 when Texans safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. picked him off in the third quarter. Rookie quarterback Davis Mills completed 23 of 32 passes for 135 yards for Houston (1-6). The Texans failed to score

a touchdown for a third consecutive road game and have been outscored 102-8 in losses to the Buffalo Bills, Indianapolis Colts and Cardinals. Titans 27, Chiefs 3 Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry threw touchdown passes as Tennessee coasted to a victory over Kansas City in Nashville, Tenn. Henry, the NFL’s leading rusher, gained 86 yards on 29 carries to end a streak of five consecutive 100-yard games. He completed a 5-yard pass to MyCole Pruitt for a touchdown to cap the Titans’ first possession. The Titans (5-2) owned a 27-0 margin at the break and Tannehill finished with 270 yards on 21-of-27 passing. Patrick Mahomes threw an interception and lost a fumble before being helped off with 8:13 left. He cleared concussion protocol after a brief examination in the medical tent and ended his day with 206 yards on 20-of-35 passing for the Chiefs (3-4). Rams 28, Lions 19 Winless Detroit battled but ultimately succumbed to a more complete team in Los Angeles, which improved to 6-1 in the battle between quarterbacks who were traded for each other in Inglewood, Calif.

Jets get crushed by Patriots as Zach Wilson leaves game with knee injury DJ Bien-Aime II New York Daily News

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The Jets got their teeth kicked in by the Patriots, losing 54-13, and Zach Wilson got hurt in the process. The rookie suffered a knee injury in the second quarter of Gang Green’s matchup with the Patriots on Sunday. The Patriots were up 17-0 at the time. Wilson ran a play action fake and rolled left before throwing a deep pass to Keelan Cole. Cole drew a 46-yard defensive pass interference on the play and got the Jets to the 2-yard line. But Patriots outside linebacker Matthew Judon slammed Wilson to the ground and the No. 2 overall pick was laid out on the turf in pain. A few Jet players hovered

around Wilson and took a knee. After a few minutes passed by Wilson, got up gingerly and walked to the sideline. Eventually, Wilson went into the blue medical tent then was escorted to the Jets locker room. Wilson was ruled out. He was 6-for-10 with 51 yards and was sacked once before leaving the field. Mike White replaced the No. 2 overall pick for White’s first career action. White came in and did a commendable job as he went 20-for-32 with 202 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. White’s first attempt was a three-yard touchdown pass to Corey Davis in the back of the endzone. That was White’s first career touchdown. But by the time Wilson got

hurt, the game was already heading towards an ugly result and the main reason was the defense’s no show. There was a chance the Jets

defense would struggle once C.J. Mosley was ruled out. But they produced their worst numbers all season and it came against an offense that

was 26th in yards per game (322.3) and 23rd in points scored at 20.8. The Patriots finished with 554 yards of total offense. Their running game gashed the Jets for 151 yards and four touchdowns. It started early as the Patriots had 300 yards and 31 points at half. Damien Harris ran for 12 yards and Quinnen Williams was called for a defensive hold (again) and were in the Jets territory after one play. The Jets caught a break on the next play with an offensive hold by Patriots guard Shaq Mason. But on 2nd and 15, Mac Jones threw a screen pass to Jonnu Smith who broke for 28 yards. On the next play the Patriots ran a trick play. Jones threw a backwards pass to Kendrick

Bourne, who threw it to a streaking Nelson Agholor for a 25-yard touchdown. That touchdown drive took five plays and the Patriots were off. They scored points on all five of their first half possessions with four touchdowns and one field goal as they led 31-7 at half. That’s unacceptable. Jones was shredding the Jets defense with short passes as 112 yards Jones were passes thrown behind the line of scrimmage. Running back Brandon Bolden led the Jets in receptions and yards as he had six catches for 79 yards and a touchdown, which came on a screenplay. The offense was bad too as they finished with 299 yards of offense, but that was expected soon after Wilson went down.

Baseball hurting itself with postseason of endless bullpen games, shoddy umpiring Bill Madden New York Daily News

NEW YORK — For a game in serious trouble in terms of losing its appeal with its longstanding loyal fan base, baseball is doing itself no favors in this postseason rife with interminable games, relentless pitching changes and embarrassingly awful umpiring calls. If there’s one thing that’s stood out the most in a game run amok with analytics, it’s the notable absence of innings-eating starting pitcher “horses” in the mode of Madison Bumgarner, Justin Verlander, Jon Lester, Jacob deGrom or Corey Kluber this postseason. So far there have been only four instances in which a starting pitcher has pitched seven or more innings, two of them by the Giants’ Logan Webb in the NL Division Series. A lot of this, of course, can be attributed to the dramatically increased starters’ workloads this year after last year’s pandemic-reduced season, and the concerns of them breaking down (like Astros ace Lance McCullers) with yet another tier of postseason potentially to come. But in reality, we’ve seen this “Bullpen Baseball” coming. According to the Elias Bureau, the average number of pitchers per game has gradually increased from 5.5 in 1988 to 6.9 in ‘98, 7.8 in ‘08, 8.6 in ‘18 and 8.8 this season. As of Friday, teams in the postseason had used five or more pitchers in a game 41 times, while the so-called “opener” has begun to become the norm, in many cases to the manager’s detriment. You could make the case that Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman and his analytics disciples “managed” the Dodgers out of the first two NLCS games in Atlanta after ordering manager Dave Roberts to pass up starting Julio Urias (who’d been 20-3 during the regular season) in Game 5 of the NLDS against the Giants in favor of an “opener” format with relievers Corey Knebel and Brusdar Graterol. The fact that Urias was only able to give Roberts four innings created a situation in which the Dodger manager elected to bring in his ace, Max Scherzer, to close out the 2-1 win. That resulted in Scherzer being unavailable to start Game 1 of the NLCS

against the Braves as Roberts went to another bullpen game, which the Dodgers lost. Furthermore, as Scherzer confirmed, the relief appearance against the Giants created a deadness in his arm that held him to just 4 1/3 innings of Game 2 Sunday and also prevented him from being able to start the pivotal Game 6 Saturday night. But then, with the Braves on the verge of putting a stake in the Dodgers’ hearts Tuesday, holding a 5-2 lead after seven innings, their old-school manager Brian Snitker inexplicably decided himself to go on the constant search for the one guy who didn’t have it. He found him in Luke Jackson, his fourth pitcher of the game, who gave up the back-breaking three-run homer to Cody Bellinger. The inning prior, Tyler Matsek, the third Braves pitcher, had retired the side on no hits and two strikeouts, and you have to ask yourself:

When are these managers going to trust their eyes and their guts and stick with these pitchers who are getting nothing but outs? Even Alex Cora, the Red Sox’s much-acclaimed manager, went bullpen-crazy in Game 4 of the ALCS, yanking his starter Nick Pivetta after five innings of two-hit ball and bringing in a parade of three relievers to preserve the 2-1 Boston lead before summoning his ace starter Nathan Eovaldi after the Astros tied the score in the eighth off Garrett Whitlock. Eovaldi was rocked for four runs and lost the game. It is worth noting that those two LCS games last Tuesday lasted 4:14 and 4:04 respectively. So far, there have been six games of over four hours this postseason. In the words of former Dodger GM Ned Colletti: “Last Tuesday, you could have driven from Florida to Washington D.C and needed

only two games.” Despite all of MLB speed-up efforts, the average time of nine-inning games this season was another all-time high at three hours, 10 minutes, seven seconds. The multiple pitching changes is the biggest factor, but so, too, are the estimated 12 seconds of time wasted with the batters stepping out of the box after every pitch, and the increasing number of foul balls. According to Baseball Reference, 2017 was the first time in the regular season there were more foul balls than balls in play and that continues to increase. So far this postseason, for the first time in history foul balls have accounted for over 30% of strikes. The foul balls can’t be regulated, and as long as clubs are going to slap pitch counts on pitchers the day they sign their first pro contract and ingrain in them not to worry about having to face the batting order a third time around, Bullpen Baseball is going to be the norm. One experimental remedy I found interesting was in the independent Atlantic League this year, which is a DH league. A rule was implemented that once a team’s starting pitcher was removed from the game, they lost the DH. Meanwhile, through all this postseason drudgery, we’ve seen some of the worst umpire decisions ever. It was inexcusable that the DodgersGiants NL Division Series ended with the Giants’ Wilmer Flores being called out on a checked swing that absolutely wasn’t by first base umpire Gabe Morales. “That’s going to be the thing that’s talked about for quite a while and I understand why,” said Giants manager Gabe Kapler. And then there was the atrocious night Laz Diaz had behind the plate in Game Four of the ALCS in which he missed 23 ball-strike calls. Diaz has long been one of the lowest-rated umpires in the majors, so you have ask: Who made this decision? And why, assigning Diaz to a postseason series where he could embarrass baseball on national TV? But for some reason (see also: Angel Hernandez) consistently low rated umpires are never demoted, never fired and never held accountable. They just go on.

The pennant-winning Braves and a magical Saturday night Mark Bradley The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

In the moment he gained admittance to the club of World Series managers, Brian Snitker -- a baseball lifer who’s 66 and who assumed he’d seen everything -- wasn’t quite sure what to do. He didn’t jump for joy. He’d didn’t do the JimValvano-in-Albuquerquething and run around looking for somebody to hug. In that moment, he didn’t do much of anything except think back. “I honestly just sat in my chair,” he said, speaking early Sunday after one of the greatest Saturday nights the Atlanta Braves have ever known. “The guys (his coaches) kind of swamped me. I was just hoping, honestly, that I could hold it together. A lot comes at you after all the years, everything you go through. And now, to be able to experience this, it’s really something really cool.” He thought of Ronnie, his wife. “Everything that she (went through.) She’s been real emotional through a lot of this, and rightly so. She’s the one who dragged our kids all over the Southeast, and I would leave in February and come home in September and she would hold a job and (run the kids to) cheerleading and baseball and all that. It was a lot of that stuff -- the kids setting up a pro shop in Myrtle Beach (where he was managing the minor-league Pelicans) and my daughter getting on a char and singing ‘Root, root, root for my daddy’s team’ at the seventh inning stretch.” He thought of his son, whom he’ll be seeing soon, Troy Snitker being the hitting coach for the Houston Astros, the Braves’ opponent in the 2021 World Series. “It’s like the Snitkers are going to have a World Series trophy in their house,” Brian Snitker said. “I don’t know who’s going to own it, but we’re going to have one. That’s a pretty cool thing, too.” Also cool: Eddie Rosario, a Brave since July 30, was the MVP of the National League Championship Series. That’s something only one person in this world saw coming. “I

always knew I could win a trophy like this,” he said, speaking through translator Franco Garcia even deeper into Sunday morning, “regardless of what anyone ever said or thought of me.” Rosario shared the podium with Freddie Freeman, who made his Atlanta Braves debut in September 2010. “I think this might be the definition of pure joy,” Freeman said. “It really is. It hasn’t hit me at all. I don’t really know how to feel. Usually (after the final game) we’re sitting in our locker and just thinking about the whole season and getting ready for next year, and (this time) we finally did it.” The Braves are Seriesbound for the first time since 1999. The stars of that team, which outlasted the Mets in a six-game NLCS, were Chipper Jones, Andruw Jones, Kevin Millwood and the Hall of Fame triplets -- John Smoltz, Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine. The MVP of the pennant-winning series was Eddie Perez, a career backup who was Maddux’s favorite catcher. Perez was playing every day because the estimable Javy Lopez, MVP of the 1996 NLCS against the Cardinals, tore his ACL in July. (The Braves won a lot in those days. They also won a lot of awards, some improbable.) Midway through the summer, the 2021 Braves wouldn’t have been anyone’s choice as the team to break the 22-year drought. They were having trouble just breaking .500. Then general manager Alex Anthopoulos went out and bought a whole new outfield, and by September we were hooked on Joc Pederson’s pearls and Jorge Soler’s speed and power and the reality that Adam Duvall, serving a second stint as a Brave, was leading the National League in RBIs. There also was Rosario, of whom Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said: “We just couldn’t figure him out.” Remember, this was a Braves’ team without Ronald Acuna, lost to an ACL tear in July. It’s now known as the team with Eddie Rosario, who was 14-for-25 against

the Dodgers with three home runs, two doubles, a triple and six RBIs. His three-run homer in the fourth inning of Game 6 provided the series-winning runs. Walker Buehler kept throwing fastballs, both sinkers and cutters. Rosario kept fouling them off. Then he got a 94-mph cutter he didn’t foul off. Said Roberts: “You can tell that (Rosario’s bat) was sped up. I don’t want to secondguess a sequence, but certainly there were different things we could have done. But we didn’t. (Rosario) was on the hard stuff, yeah.” Snitker: “It’s amazing how locked in he was. It didn’t matter what arm they’re throwing with.” Freeman: “We lost the best player in the National League, in my opinion, and we’re going to the World Series without Ronald Acuna.” Said reliever AJ Minter, who was demoted to Gwinnett earlier this season: “We’ve been through a lot of failures. That’s what makes this special.” Freeman: “We had like 40-foot potholes that we hit, like humongous speed bumps. Everything you could possibly see in a road, we hit it. Somehow we overcame all that ... Anything that got thrown at us, we overcame it. We lost Jorge, our leadoff hitter (after a positive COVID test before the NLCS).” For most of this regular season, the notion of an October chockful of magical nights at the ballpark seemed LOLfunny. You can’t get above .500 and you’re making World Series plans? Even after the Braves got rolling in August, it was easy to view them as a plucky-but-flawed team. Yet here they stand, having dismissed the 95-win Brewers and the 106-win Dodgers, headed now for Texas and a best-of-seven with the 95-win Astros. The story of this season is many stories -- reliever Tyler Matzek’s is among the best -but at heart they’re the same story. As Freeman said, “We just kept getting back up.”

NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Larson (5) and raises the championship trophy after winning the Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway on Sunday.

Dominant Kyle Larson cruises to ninth win of season at Kansas Field Level Media

Though already locked into the four-driver championship-deciding NASCAR Cup Series race at Phoenix in two weeks, Kyle Larson refused to take the day off on Sunday at Kansas Speedway. Larson held off Hendrick Motorsports teammate and fellow playoffs driver Chase Elliott over the final 14 laps to win the Hollywood Casino 400. The victory in the Round of 8 race was Larson’s third in a row and his series-best ninth on the season. “Glad we could capitalize and get another win, and hopefully we can go to Martinsville (Speedway, site of next weekend’s final race in the Round of 8) and get a clock,” which serves as the trophy at the storied short track, Larson said. His margin of victory over Elliott, who scraped the wall several times over the last several laps, was 3.6 seconds. Larson, who secured his admission to the championship race at Phoenix in two weeks when he won last weekend at Texas, led the most laps by far. “Pulled together a win and I really don’t know how that happened,” Larson said, noting his own contact with

the wall in the late going. “I thought that we were like a third-place car maybe.” As he attempted to track Larson down over the final laps, Elliott, who will start Martinsville 34 points above the cut line, scraped the wall several times, and it cost him his shot. Elliott said he “didn’t really have a choice” but to end his pursuit of the win and walk away with just a good points day. “Once I hit it, it hurt it (his car) pretty bad.” “Thought we had something for Kyle there. Just got the wall there off of (Turn) 2 (trying) to get up to him. Every few feet you get close to him, the harder it gets.” Kevin Harvick of StewartHaas Racing is not a playoffs contender and came up short in his bid to get his first win of the season after challenging Larson for the lead late in the race. Harvick finished third. Fourth was Kurt Busch of Chip Ganassi Racing, while championship contender Denny Hamlin of Joe Gibbs Racing was fifth. Hamlin, who will hit Martinsville 32 points above the cutline, described his day as, “Not a lot of brilliance. Just very average, Certainly not fast enough to run with the Chevys

and Hendrick cars right now on these type of race tracks. Just hope to have a solid day next week and move on.” Martin Truex Jr. of JGR, was seventh and Joey Logano of Team Penske was ninth. They will start Martinsville three and 26 below the cut line respectively. Kansas was tough on several teams and drivers who are still in the playoffs. Kyle Busch was the first playoffs driver to run into trouble. On Lap 23, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver scraped the outside wall while running eighth. His crew went to work and kept him on the lead lap. By the end of the first stage, Busch had driven to ninth place and collect two stage points. But on Lap 133, Busch again slapped the wall. He had to pit and again fell off the lead lap. Worse for the two-time champion, the damage he suffered seriously slowed his car. He finished 28th. On Lap 38, playoff driver Brad Keselowski popped the wall with his right front fender. He slowed considerably until a flat tire sent him to the pits. As a result, he fell off the lead lap. Keselowski had led a couple laps early in the race and appeared to have good speed.

Spartans From B1

was called offsides on the play and the goal was not counted. Two minutes later Jack Motta crossed it to the middle of the field from the left sideline and Reinhard was onsides this time and tipped it into the back of the net at the 19:22 mark to give Greenville a 1-0 lead. Cody Cavagnaro took a free kick at midfield for the Riders and got it into the box on the fly but it was caught out of the air by Spartan keeper Joe Domermuth. On another Greenville corner kick, Reinhard had his legs taken out from under him, hitting the ground hard and getting the wind knocked out of him. He had to come off after the time stoppage forced the Spartans to make a substitution, but Reinhard did need a minute to recover. Greenville kept the ball in the box a little long for Ichabod Crane’s liking, but Chase Martino finally cleared it out to give the Riders’ defense a much needed moment to breathe. With just over four minutes left in the half, Joe Desmonie ripped a line drive kick from outside the box that sailed past Domermuth and into the goal for the equalizer. Tying the game 1-1 was an enormous confidence boost for the Riders and after a tremendous kick save by Luke Desmonie on a last minute shot by Reinhard, they reached halftime tied at one goal apiece. Greenville controlled much of the second half with slightly better ball control and passing than their opponents in Ichabod Crane. The Spartans had multiple opportunities to take the lead but they missed kicks on a few of the possessions that could have gone for goals.

attacks with their quick midfield and striker up top. The game was back and forth and at a frantic pace, truly an experience for all the spectators. Waterford’s Josh Catanzarita was a handful all night long but the panther senior backline of Brycen Haner, Evan Groom, Ben Halpin and Ethan Narofsky did a fantastic job covering and neutralizing his opportunities. About halfway through the

MATT FORTUNATO/COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

The Ichabod Crane goalkeeper blocks a header by Greenville’s Isaiah Edmonds during Friday’s Section II Class B quarterfinal at Greenville High School.

Luke Desmonie was all over the ball in the goalie box as his Riders’ offense struggled to mount an attack in the second half. Desmonie made a diving save on one possession to steer a grounded ball out for a corner kick, which he followed up by catching it out of the air on that very next play. At long last the Riders got a shot off with 7:30 to go, but Joe Desmonie’s kick sailed high and wide for a goal kick. Bowden took Greenville’s last significant shot on goal in regulation with about 2:30 remaining, from outside the box and the wind took it high and out. By the end of regulation both teams needed a respite and would get that break before the overtime periods began.

In Sectionals, teams play two 15-minute overtime periods, but the first goal wins the game. If they were still tied,

1st half, Chatham’s Tobias Jeralds received the ball outside the 18, created some space, and placed a great ball far post upper corner that Waterford keeper Alex Roy stretched for and miraculously tipped off the crossbar and over. It was one of many game saving moments from the freshman Waterford keeper. Another shot by Chatham would also hit off the top corner and out during the half. With 8 minutes to go in the half, Catanzarita broke through and was run down by the Chatham backline but was able to get through and charging Panther keeper John

Wisseman came out and made a save but it bobbled in the box, resulting in all 4 Chatham defenders, Catanzarita, and keeper Wisseman, scrambling trying to gain possession. Somehow the ball popped out of the scrum and Catanzarita found his footing, and the ball, and put it in the net. 1-0 at half. The second half continued to be a back and forth affair with Chatham having the better run of play and creating chaos in the Fordian 18 and earning corner kicks. In what appeared to be the tying goal, Chatham’s Miguel Casarrubias was able to rip a shot from 8 yards out that once again

the game would go to penalty kicks. The Spartans wasted little time after winning the coin toss for overtime, and they

took the ball to start. On a broken play and a steal by the Spartans, Reinhard was all alone directly in front of the net and booted it past Desmonie and in to win the game for Greenville 2-1 just 90

seconds into overtime. The Spartans advance to the Class B semifinals where they will play Cohoes at Gloversville High School on Wednesday at 5 p.m.

was miraculously saved by Roy with a full extension dive. Waterford would hold on and pull out the 1-0 win and move onto the Class C semifinals. Emotions were real for the Chatham Panthers who followed up back to back 1 win seasons with a 10 win campaign this year and a great effort in the quarterfinals. “A big congratulations to them and all the hard work they put in this season,” Chatham coach Aaron Willis said of his team. “Congrats to Waterford and good luck the rest of the way.” GIRLS

CLASS B Holy Names 3, Greenville 1 GREENVILLE — Patroon Conference champion Greenville’s quest for a Section II title ended on Saturday with a 3-1 loss to Holy Names in a Class B quarterfinal game. Ella Grupe scored the Spartans’ lone goal. Susie Smith, Morgan Brewer and Anna Nichols all had one goal for Holy Names. Greenville goalkeeper Josie O’Hare turned away 14 shots. Sofia Pantoja had eight saves for Holy Names. CLASS C Maple Hill 3, Cambridge 1 CASTLETON — Three

players reached the back of the net for No. 3 Maple Hill as the Wildcats defeated No. 14 Cambridge, 3-1, in a Class C girls soccer tournament opening round game on Saturday. Alayna Fletcher had a goal and two assists for Maple Hill. Haylee Spar and Rachel Frazier each had a goal and Finley Pearsall had an assist. Samantha Crandall scored for Cambridge with an assist from Maizie Steele. Wildcats goalkeeper Abby Szklenka had five saves. Cambridge’s Rochelle Daniels also stopped five shots. Maple Hill hosts No. 6 Hoosick Falls on Tuesday at 3 p.m.

Football From B1

Hudson got off to a good start in Friday’s game, scoring on its opening possession on a 13-yard pass from Isaiah Maines to Kristyain Clarke. Watervliet went on to score 42 unanswered points the rest of the way to sew up the South Division title with a 7-0 record. Jamel Ward scored on a three-yard run, then completed a two-point conversion pass to Adonis Cyrus to put the Cannoneers on top, 8-6, with 3:43 to play in the opening quarter. Watervliet exploded for 22 more points in the second quarter to go up, 30-6 at halftime. Ward figured in all three Cannoneer touchdowns in the stanza, tossing touchdown passes of 27 yards to Amel Conway and three yards to Diogenes George and running for a three-yard score. After a scoreless third quarter, Watervliet added two more touchdowns in the final stanza on a 63-yard pass from Ward to Conway and a oneyard run by Kendryek Flynn. V’ville 27, TH 6 CRARYVILLE — Voorheesville clinched second place in the Class C South Division with a 27-6 victory over Taconic Hills on Friday. Despite the loss, the Titans have qualified for the Class C playoffs and will go to the No. 1 seed from the North Division, Schuylerville, on Thursday at 6 p.m.

The Taconic Hills defense played well on Friday, limiting the explosive Voorheesville offense well below its 36-points per game average, but the offense could produce just one score — an 80-yard pass from Tyler Peck to Landon Halsted. Peck completed 11 of 24 passes for 187 yards. Halsted had two catches for 117 yards, Charlie Beck five catches for 47 yards and Aaron Bonci two catches for 16 yards. Bo Burns led the Titans’ ground attack with 88 yards on 17 carries. Peck picked up 38 yards on four carries. Defensively, Burns had six solo tackles and six assists.

Ryan Nielsen had three solos, four assists and a fumble recovery, Halsted three solos and four assists, Curran Garrity one solo and four assists, Bonci three solos and one assist, Shane Kraus one solo and three assists, Ryan Walch two solos, Peck two solos and two assists, Troy Super three assists, Connor Simmons two assists, Chase Mellan one assist, Beck one solo and two assists, Dawson Cooper one assist. Cambridge 37, Chatham 35 CAMBRIDGE — Chatham gave perennial Class D power Cambridge all it could handle before dropping a 37-35

decision on Saturday at Cambridge High School. The Panthers trailed 25-14 at halftime, but pulled to within 37-28 after three quarters, then got to within two and had the ball inside the Indians’ 10-yard line as the clock ran out. Matt Radley rushed for 169 yards and three touchdowns on 18 carries for Chatham, scoring on runs of 2, 2 and 67 yards. Quarterback Tyler Kneller added 95 yards rushing on 13 carries and completed 15 of 24 passes for 211 yards, including a 40-yard TD pass to Mike Pierro.

Child of recovering addict still harbors resentment Dear Abby, I’m the mother of a 36-year-old daughter. She claims I treat her younger brothers better than I treat her. I am a recovering addict — clean for 20-plus years. I was in active addiction for nine years when she was a teenager, DEAR ABBY and she has never let that go. She constantly tells me how “unfair” I am, that I never make time for her and that I don’t validate her feelings. I have apologized many times and tried to show her I don’t treat her siblings differently. I schedule “us” time, but this is an ongoing battle, and I’m at a loss about how to fix it. How do I show her there’s no difference in the way I treat any of them? How do I reassure her that her feelings are validated? This has caused me many tearful nights. Wanting Serenity Back

JEANNE PHILLIPS

Your daughter’s sense of deprivation has probably caused her many tearful nights as well. Your years of active addiction kept her from having the mother she needed as a teen. I’m sorry to say that it may have created an emptiness in her you may not be able to fill. You can’t “fix” her anger and feelings of deprivation, but that doesn’t mean SHE can’t do it herself. It may involve her joining a 12-step program, or seeking emotional counseling — if she’s willing — but until she finds a way to stop trying to punish you, she will remain stuck in her anger and jealousy.

Dear Abby, How do I tell my sister I no longer wish to be included in family gatherings (birthdays, holidays, etc.)? What happened on my brother’s birthday was the last straw. I have since distanced myself for several reasons. 1) I won’t waste my breath trying to explain to my parents; they won’t believe a word I say. Also, my parents are the most judgmental people I know. 2) I have no tolerance for other people’s jealousy or envy because I don’t envy or get jealous. 3) I don’t want to be surrounded by negative energy and emotional pain. My sister is trying to get the family together again in spite of everything. I need her to respect my boundaries and my decision to stay away. I don’t want to have to discuss this when I have a conversation with her. I no longer wish to attend gatherings because they always end up in disruption of some kind, and then I have to take that energy home with me. Please help. Seeking Peace In Illinois

Your sister is not a mind reader. Because you don’t want her to “bring this up” when she has a conversation with you, take the bull by the horns, explain that you won’t be attending family gettogethers and state your reasons. And when you do, tell her your mind is made up and you do not want to discuss it further. Good luck. Garfield

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you don’t always need a lot of input from others to provide you with encouragement, instruction or inspiration — but when you do need it, you must have it, and you usually know just where to go to get it. A few chosen individuals, your “soul mates,” are the people you trust with your true self, and you will strip yourself bare to reveal all there is to know about you — but only to them! You can be quite competitive, but not outwardly so; you keep those fires burning deep within, and only you know how much you want to “win” at this, that or the other thing. But the desire to be No. 1 is genuine and resides deep within your soul — and it will be satisfied, come what will! Also born on this date are: Lauren Tewes, actress; Mahalia Jackson, singer; Jaclyn Smith, actress and model; Cary Elwes, actor; Pat Sajak, TV game show host; Bob Hoskins, actor; Jackie Coogan, 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. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27 SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You’re in the mood for something special today, but what? You can have some fun exploring all the options available to you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You are mixing things up today in a way that can be hazardous. Now is not the time to combine business with pleasure in any way at all. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You are eager to be noticed today, but you’re not about to do something that’s going to put you in the public eye. What can be done?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You are feeling somewhat out of sorts today perhaps, but by staying on course, you can convince yourself that all is well — and so it will be. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — In no mood for small talk today, you will want to steer clear of gatherings that do not seem to have a clear and definite purpose. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You’ve been given a second chance of sorts today, and you don’t want to bungle it. Start at the beginning, and be sure to fact-check yourself. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You may have to work harder than usual today to protect yourself and your loved ones — but this may not be something unique to Taurus natives. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) — Listen to what others say about you. You’ll feel better about yourself after enduring a rather lengthy period marked by self-doubt. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You can lend your support to a friend or partner without risking too much of your own money — or other resources. You’re feeling lucky today. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22 — Decisions today may have to be made much more quickly than expected, and you may not have the benefit of updated information. Someone has your back. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — An obstacle rears up before you quite suddenly today, but you’re ready to respond almost as quickly. Remember: Turnabout is fair play! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You’re waiting for things to evolve at this time, and you may have to combat your own impatience in the process. Someone can take the reins.
