ALBANY — Stealing delivered packages could result in a felony charge by next holiday season if a bill introduced by state Sen. Daphne Jordan, R-43, is passed.

Jordan introduced on Monday a bill to combat what has become known as “porch piracy” by charging people who steal packages from a porch, doorway, driveway or other residential areas with a felony crime.

“The continued explosive growth of online shopping — along with an estimated 800 million packages expected to be delivered between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day — presents a target-rich environment for porch pirates to steal deliveries from homeowners, costing people time and a great deal of money,” Jordan said in a press release. “It’s a real crime that we need to address.”

Jordan’s bill was introduced the week of Thanksgiving and Black Friday, but if passed by the state Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, would not be implemented before the next See BILL A8

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

President Theodore Roosevelt and his family in 1903. The next year, the Boston Herald falsely reported that Ethel, far left, and Quentin, far right, had terrorized a Thanksgiving turkey as the president laughed.

a typewritten statement that “No such incident as that recited in the Herald has ever taken place since the president has been in the White House.”

A second, live turkey had been shipped in from Milwaukee, Loeb said, but it was never released from its cage before being freed at a bucolic barnyard in New York’s Oyster Bay. The turkey story, Loeb said, “marks the culmination of a long series of similar falsehoods, usually malicious and always deliberate, which have appeared in the news columns of the Boston Herald.” As a result, its reporter was barred from the White House, and all federal departments were ordered to stop providing news information to the Herald.

The Boston Herald responded with what one newspaper called an apology that was “a trifle sarcastic.” The Herald said: “It is always with keen regret that the management of the Herald finds that it has been the means of circulating statements which have no foundation in truth.” The turkey story came from a supposedly reliable source, but “candor compels us to say that it was not worth telegraphing.” The paper added that Roosevelt also has made statements in error.

Many newspapers sided with Roosevelt as an aggrieved father who was the victim of “fowl” play. “We are very much in sympathy with the indignant attitude of the

president regarding the fake story,” the St. Paul Globe in Minnesota wrote. “Mr. Roosevelt is distinctly a family man.

It is an outrage that a public man should be pilloried through his children.”

The Buffalo Commercial commented, “There is no excuse for printing and circulating reporters’ rot of that sort because any intelligent person knows that the president is tender-hearted and detests cruelty to animals as he does cowardness.”

A columnist for the Charleston Post in South Carolina, writing with tongue in cheek, argued that the punishment of the Herald correspondent was “way too mild. The Boston reporter should have been tried by court martial and condemned to be shot from the mouth of a cannon on the Washington Monument.”

Not all of the newspapers supported Roosevelt’s actions. “Nobody can blame the president for being irritated at the publication of such a story,” the New York Times editorialized. “But the executive vengeance goes . . . entirely too far. This is all wrong, in addition to being perfectly un-American.”

The controversy escalated in early December when overzealous officials at the U.S. Weather Bureau in Boston refused to provide the Herald with government weather maps and forecasts for the Boston area. As one observer put it, “Meanwhile the

Just before Thanksgiving in 1904, the Boston Herald served up some shocking news: Two of President Theodore Roosevelt’s younger children had chased the presidential dinner turkey around the back lawn of the White House, pulling feathers from the frightened bird as Roosevelt looked on with great amusement.

But was this turkey of a story true? The controversy raged on until nearly Christmas. Over the years, the story has become the stuffing that Thanksgiving legends are made of.

The legend began when the Herald’s White House reporter wrote that young Ethel and Quentin Roosevelt “have a new plaything.” It was the 30-pound Rhode Island turkey delivered for the first family’s Thanksgiving table. The big bird was kept in a cage, but the children “wanted it loose and free.” When the gobbler was released, “they chased the turkey all over the White House grounds, plucking it, yelling and laughing until the bird was well nigh exhausted. The President witnessed part of the proceedings and laughed.”

The next day, a Herald columnist named “The Chatterer” opined: “Apparently the Roosevelt children are chips off the old block and possess their full share of juvenile irresponsibleness. But why should they be allowed to torment and frighten an innocent turkey?”

Roosevelt didn’t see the articles until the Wednesday after Thanksgiving. After returning from a trip to St. Louis, he found the clippings on his desk. He carried them into a Cabinet meeting, where he angrily declared the turkey story was a canard. Agriculture Secretary James “Tama Jim” Wilson, who grew up on a farm, noted that it was impossible to pluck feathers from a running turkey. Roosevelt said it was even harder in this case because his Thanksgiving turkey was dead on arrival and dressed for the roasting pan.

Roosevelt closed the meeting by declaring that he “intended to stop newspaper stories of that kind.”

At 6 p.m., Roosevelt’s secretary, William Loeb Jr., issued

readers of the paper may find out when it is raining by looking out their windows.”

This time, even many Roosevelt supporters came down against the president. “The denial by the United States weather bureau of the daily reports to the Boston Herald was an outrage on the people as well as on the public press,” said the New Orleans TimesPicayune.

“The Herald’s offense was petty, the president should not permit himself to use a battleship to crush a codfish,” chided the Louisville Courier-Journal. The Newburyport Herald in Massachusetts scolded: “The story was silly and the order of the President sillier.” Added one wag: “This is very light punishment at the hands of the president. Just think, he might have shut the weather itself off.”

Roosevelt quickly rescinded the Weather Bureau ban, saying his order had been “misconstrued.” But the government boycott of the Herald in Washington remained. The controversy continued to be front-page news well into December, overshadowing even a report that a two-headed baby had been born in Boston.

And the comments about the anti-Herald orders grew more serious.

“If this principle is to be adopted and sustained, it will obviously be possible for the president of the United States to dictate to any newspaper” whom they shall employ “in the work of gathering news concerning the government in Washington,” said the Manchester Union in New Hampshire. And “that means censorship and nothing else.”

Finally, on the day after Christmas, the Chicago Tribune published this one-line news story: “There were no White House turkey stories in the esteemed Boston Herald yesterday.”

The controversy disappeared from the news pages as apparently the White House quietly returned to normal press practices. Another Roosevelt “big stick” policy had made its point. In the case of the fake turkey story, the policy might be called, “Speak softly and carry a big drumstick.”

Daughters of Elijah Cummings back his longtime aide in race for his seat Ovetta Wiggins The Washington Post

A daughter of the late congressman Elijah Cummings has issued a statement explaining why she’s supporting one of his former staffers in the race to succeed him - a crowded contest that includes former Rep. Kweisi Mfume, several state lawmakers and Cummings’ third wife, Maya Rockeymoore Cummings.

“My sister and I are supporting Harry Spikes for Congress because for the past 15 years he’s worked alongside our father to meet the needs of the people of the Maryland’s 7th Congressional District,” said Jennifer Cummings, 37. “Harry knows this community. Our father often said of himself that he was ‘an ordinary man called to an extraordinary mission,’ and Harry embodies that same spirit.”

Mfume, Spikes and Rockeymoore Cummings all spoke at the Oct. 25 funeral for Cummings, a longtime civil rights

leader who gained national attention spearheading investigations into the Trump administration. Jennifer Cummings and her sister, Adia, delivered remarks as well.

In her eulogy, Jennifer Cummings recalled sharing ice cream cones with her father at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, and him giving her brown-skinned dolls to play with so she would understand her “rich brown skin was just as beautiful as alabaster, or any color of the rainbow.”

She said Tuesday that Spikes, who worked in Cummings’ office for 15 years, represented the “next generation of leadership.”

“Dad would say ‘This isn’t about me. This is bigger than me,’” Jennifer Cummings said.

“And Harry knows the mission to serve is bigger than him - it’s about the people of Baltimore City, Baltimore County, and Howard County.”

A total of 24 Democrats and eight Republicans are running

in the Feb. 4 special primary election that, because of Democrats’ overwhelming majority in Maryland’s 7th congressional district, will probably determine who serves the remainder of Cummings’ term.

Mfume, a former head of the NAACP, and Rockeymoore Cummings have national profiles and high name recognition. Among the state lawmakers running, Sen. Jill Carter, D-Baltimore City, and Dels.

Talmadge Branch, D-Baltimore City, and Terri Hill, D-Howard, could tap networks in their districts to prove formidable.

The candidates nominated in the primary race will appear on the special general election ballot on April 28, the same day as the statewide 2020 primary.

The general election winner will serve out the remainder of Cummings’ term, through the end of 2020. Candidates who wish to seek the two-year term that begins in 2021 have until Jan. 24 to file for the April 28 primary.

5 things to talk about at Thanksgiving that aren’t politics Alyssa Rosenberg The Washington Post

OUR VIEW

All you need is love to sit at the dinner table ny and tradition.

Thanksgiving is also rooted in Christianity, but it has evolved into a holiday that spills over from secular to spiritual and back again. It is a day devoted to family, friendship and love. Like many other holidays of observance, including Memorial Day and Veterans Day, Thanksgiving is about more than parades, sports and patriotism. There are no flags or speeches. Thanksgiving is about sharing.

In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday in November to be “a day of Thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens,” according to The New York Times News

Thursday is Thanksgiving Day. In this age of anxiety and alienation, rudeness and senseless violence, Thanksgiving offers a warm embrace, a feeling of serenity in the company of family and friends. Thanksgiving, unceremoniously set on the calendar between Halloween (not a true holiday but close) and Christmas Day, which is losing the spirit of a true holiday, has a great power to make us feel united.

Christmas, Easter and, yes, Halloween, are distinctly Christian observances, commercialized and unstuck in time as they have become. They are reminders that they are as much about marketing as they are about ceremo-

Service. Thanksgiving was formally moved in 1941 to the fourth Thursday in November.

Lincoln studied the Bible and might have been familiar with this passage from the Book of Exodus: “Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt,” quoted in The New York Times News Service. It’s interesting to note that Lincoln referred to God but no specific faith in his proclamation, nor did he mention personal wealth or belongings. We don’t have to buy cars or computers or acquire material goods pushed by TV commercials to sit at the dinner table.

ANOTHER VIEW

Trump needs to appoint scientists to run scientific agencies Mick Mulvaney and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross got involved, NOAA issued an embarrassing, unsigned rebuke to the field office that had dared calm Alabamians worried about the president’s unfounded warnings of an approaching storm.

NOAA is also a leading authority on global warming, which Trump has called a “hoax.” The agency last week announced that 2019 is likely to be the second-warmest year on record, despite the fact that it is not an El Niño year. The warmest year on record, 2016, saw a strong El Niño, a natural variation that warms the oceans and the atmosphere. It is not a good sign that 2019’s warmth is only just behind.

“October 2019 was the 43rd-straight October to be warmer than the 20thcentury average, and the 418th straight warmerthan-average month,” The Post’s Andrew Freedman noted. “This means anyone younger than 34 has not lived through a cooler-than-average year

The Washington Post

After more than two years of waiting for Senate confirmation, Barry Myers last week withdrew his name from consideration to head the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Maybe now, President Donald Trump will consider tapping a scientist to run a scientific agency, as his predecessors typically did.

Only in the Trump administration could an agency such as NOAA be at high risk. A strictly reality-based organization, it is responsible for monitoring the planet, issuing warnings about storms and predicting the weather without fear or favor. Perhaps it was bound to run afoul of the fact-allergic Trump.

Yes, even weather prediction has become politicized in the Trump era. The agency contradicted the president after he said in September that Alabama was at risk of being struck by Hurricane Dorian. Mr. Trump then insisted that NOAA walk back its statement. After

from a global standpoint.”

Every time NOAA reminds the public that the Earth is warming, it implicitly impugns the president’s refusal to confront the issue.

So far, Trump has mostly ignored this sort of news, rather than attempt to prevent its dissemination or retraction.

Myers was controversial not for his views on climate change, which are more mainstream than Trump’s, but because he used to head the private weather forecasting company AccuWeather, which has advocated limiting the National Weather Service.

With Myers now out of the picture, the agency needs someone without conflicts of interest, with expertise and with the mettle to resist when the White House calls demanding facts be replaced with spin. Those may not be the qualities the Trump administration is seeking - but they are the qualities senators should demand.

The results of the 2016 presidential election have been a boon for certain kinds of news stories: visits to Rust Belt diners, chronicles of the journeys of self-dubbed Never Trumpers, and explorations of the dynamics of newly tense Thanksgiving dinners.

The latter gave every publication an angle. The Economist explored political science research about whether polarization was driving down the length of family Thanksgiving dinners. Quartz consulted an honest-to-God hostage negotiator. The Guardian published a moderately satirical look at the plight of “Good White People” attending Thanksgiving with Trump-supporting relatives.

However useful or informative these pieces may be, they inevitably contribute to the impression that politics have eaten our collective brains. So this Thanksgiving, let’s remind ourselves that there are plenty of other subjects to discuss around the dinner table. Here are five to get you started.

1. If you want to feel patriotic without getting into the nittygritty of the stories we tell about the first Thanksgiving: Peter Morgan’s “The Crown” and Prince Andrew are Britain’s gift to you this holiday season. You can gush over the opulent Netflix series while delighting in the fact that we don’t have to pay to keep the House of Windsor in the style to which its members have become accustomed. You can dissect Prince Andrew’s disastrous BBC interview about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and feel mildly reassured that however insane American

politics have become, at least we’re not stuck with a permanent aristocracy this stupid.

2. If you want to talk ethics without talking politics: The Houston Astros’ signstealing scandal is another blight on America’s diminished national pastime, but it’s also a perfect opportunity to debate the difference between cleverness and cheating. And once you’ve got that established, you can pivot to discussing the voting for induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, or to how to consider New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s career in light of the controversies that have dogged his team. The recently departed staff at Deadspin were right that you can’t separate politics and sports, but there are sports questions that aren’t inherently political. Be thankful for them.

3. If you can’t decide what movie to go see over the holiday weekend: The answer to your actual conundrum is actually quite easy: watch “The Irishman” on Netflix if everyone is old enough for R-rated movies and sufficiently awake post-meal to watch a 3½-hour movie; go to “Frozen II” if there are kiddos involved; and hit up “Knives Out” if you’re feeling arch. But if you want to debate the actual principles that animate your decision about what to see, get the dinner table going by posing this fall’s hot entertainment question: Marvel vs. Marty. Is Martin Scorsese right that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is not, despite its name, actual cinema? Or is the director just drawing a false distinction, pretending that aging Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci up and down with fancy

visual technology is art while doing the same thing to Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark is mere commerce?

4. If one of your relatives is definitely going to ask you to help them set up their television for streaming: Thanksgiving is the perfect time to debate a question that’s inconsequential in the scheme of things, but that feels genuinely baffling to even those of us who cover this landscape for a living: Which streaming services should you actually subscribe to? Shared bafflement is the inverse of partisan rancor, and this is a subject that gives everyone the opportunity to tell everyone else at the table about something they genuinely love and want to be able to watch. I’m not sure that we should be grateful that the entertainment industry is in a state of such profound upheaval, but, hey, at least it’s given us Baby Yoda.

5. And finally, even if you have to work for it: Yeah, yeah, I’m an unforgivable cornball. But the intense focus on the Thanksgiving argument has eclipsed the reason for the holiday that’s right smack there in the game. Figure out what you’re thankful for, even if it’s small, even if it’s something you have to build on for the year ahead, even if it’s just the support you’ve received when things were very hard. Honing your arguments is necessary work. But fighting isn’t the only way to persuade, and it’s certainly not the only way to connect with other people, including the ones you’re sharing a meal with. Talk about what you’re thankful for. A positive vision of the world can be as persuasive as a grimly drawn apocalypse.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Veterans of VAMC recipients of gifts To the editor: We, the American Legion Virgil E. Deyo Post 1327 and American Legion Auxiliary Virgil E. Deyo Unit 1327 under the chairmanship of Bob and Ginny Gurley, will be giving our hospitalized veterans at the Stratton VAMC, Albany a special Christmas Celebration with gifts and an extended visit to spend some time with them.

This is in appreciation of their service to our country and to let them know they are not forgotten.

Last year at Christmas time we gifted them with more than $14,000 worth of personal presents plus items to be used by those veterans in need or homeless. During the course of the last 11 months we

have given more than $13,500 in needed items and paid for 11 veterans to ski in the VA’s Adaptive Sports program at Ski Windham with their lunches paid for by our funds.

Their needs are ongoing so our support is ongoing. Anything you can do to help us help our veterans, is appreciated and 100 percent will be used strictly for those hospitalized or officially certified veterans at the Stratton VAMC. A list of always wanted/needed items and the departments that are part of the Voluntary Services, James Keller Director, are available for your use and you will see the needs are great.

Our shoppers will be out the first week of December purchasing the wanted and

needed items. The annual wrapping party will take place at 1 p.m. Dec. 15 at the Gurleys.

The delivery and presentation of the gifts will be Dec. 16, leaving Prattsville around 8:30 a.m.

All are invited to join in with the wrapping and gift giving. If you can’t make the wrapping, we encourage all to be there to present the Christmas gifts to our veterans. Although we give them gifts, the sparkle in their eyes and their eagerness to talk and for us to listen to them is their favorite gifts.

If you want to help, call 518299-3219 or gurleyrv@gmail. com.

Feral hogs attack and kill a woman in Texas Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs The New York Times News Service

A woman died in Texas this week after a pack of feral hogs attacked her as she walked a short distance from her car to a house where she worked as a caretaker for an older couple, police said.

Christine Rollins, 59, was attacked by several feral hogs when she showed up for work at the couple’s home Sunday morning in a rural area of Anahuac, Texas, about 50 miles east of Houston. Authorities said they were investigating whether Rollins had first fallen because of another medical condition or was knocked to the ground by the animals.

“What we thought was a crime scene was not,” said Chambers County Sheriff Brian Hawthorne, adding that a medical examiner had ruled the cause of death as “exsanguination due to feral hog assault,” or severe blood loss.

Hawthorne said that in his 35-year career, the tragedy was one of the worst he had

seen.

He said that based on the varying sizes of the bite wounds, authorities believed that multiple feral hogs had attacked Rollins after she locked her car and walked toward the door of the couple’s house at about 6 a.m. Sunday.

Realizing that Rollins had not arrived on time, the 84-year-old homeowner walked outside and found her lying on the ground between her car and the front door of the house. Hawthorne announced the cause of death Monday after the medical examiner’s preliminary ruling.

Hawthorne said that feral hogs move in packs in the dark and can frustrate farmers around Texas, but they are rarely violent. He was only able to find six similar cases throughout the country.

“I don’t how many we’ve had in Texas,” he said. “I hope we never have another one in Chambers County.”

He said that the feral hogs had taken over some of the homeowner’s land.

Romaine lettuce keeps getting recalled for E. coli contamination Kimberly Kindy and Joel Achenbach The Washington Post

Once again, just in time for Thanksgiving, millions of people have been told their romaine lettuce might be contaminated with a toxic strain of E. coli bacteria, that it’s potentially deadly, and that they should throw it away immediately and sanitize the fresh-produce drawer of their refrigerator.

harvest equipment prior to commencing harvest operations.”

“E. coli can live in water sediments for years,” said Frederick Cohan, a microbial ecologist at Wesleyan University. “What you want to do is keep it from getting in there in the first place.”

The virulent strain of E. coli at the center of this latest outbreak is the same pathogen that in 1993 killed four children and left 175 people with permanent injuries, including brain damage and kidney failure. The infamous outbreak was linked to undercooked Jack in the Box hamburgers.

Grilling, baking or frying meat at high temperatures typically kills the pathogens.

High heat is typically not used to make salads.

“Most people don’t cook lettuce,” said CDC spokesman Brian Katzowitz.

“There’s no kill step for that.

That safety net of cooking is not there.”

The FDA said consumers can still safely eat romaine from outside four Salinasarea counties - Monterey, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and San Benito - as well as hydroponically grown lettuce.

In a statement on Friday, FDA Deputy Commissioner Frank Yiannas said improvements in labeling and tracking made it possible to trace the contamination back to a single region - in contrast to what happened last year, when the FDA told consumers to throw away any and all romaine regardless of its source.

This new investigation, Yiannas said, “reinforces our recommendations that we have made to the leafy green industry: Producers must continue to review their practices and all segments of the supply chain must improve traceability to enhance food safety.”

Steve and Erin O’Hara Meyer are in from Minnesota for Thanksgiving for the annual family dinner. Erin and sisters, Ann and Mary, will bring Mom Betty home from the nursing home for the family dinner and get together. Heard Mary was hunting for some new

dinnerware now that she is in residence in her family homestead. After Mary’s health scare, we are just glad she is around.

Mary Krueger is probably trying to recover from her full house during the past weekend. Family members and hunters kept her on the run for quite a few days.

Even though overworked, Mary still was smiling and having fun.

Heard from some local people that they have discovered the Prattsville Tavern’s pizza and fantastic sandwiches. They now make a point of eating there once a week. Good for Ken and Allie.

WAJ Science Club tests local water quality WINDHAM — Students from Windham-AshlandJewett’s (WAJ) Science Club spent an afternoon learning how to test water quality in the stream and pond at the Siuslaw Model Forest. Anna Harrod, 4-H Natural Resource Educator, and Deb Valerio, WAJ teacher, demonstrated how to use tools such as pH kits, secchi disks, and turbidity tubes to gather data on the quality of the water.

Students began the day expressing their thoughts on the importance of water quality and how it can impact them and local wildlife. The group hiked to the stream on a particularly cold November day to collect the majority of their data. Rotating through three stations, students tested the pH of the water using a wide range pH test kit, collected water in a turbidity tube to judge the clarity of the water, and recorded temperature and observations about the stream banks and visible vegetation. The water was found to be just about neutral (7-7.5) on the pH scale, and 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

On the hike back to the bus students stopped at the pond where a thin layer of ice had formed. After breaking apart some of the ice they used a secchi disk to note the clarity of the pond water. Students took turns lowering the disk into the water from the bridge.

Despite the cold the students

Ruling will not lead Bolton to testify soon, lawyer says

holiday season, if then.

While local numbers were not readily available, a survey Jordan cited found that there were nearly 26 million package thefts nationwide in 2017.

Americans are increasingly turning to the internet to buy presents for the people they love but face the added worry that their gifts somehow won’t make it.

Americans are shopping online as often as they take out the trash. According to the National Retail Federation, about 58 million Americans shopped only online from Thanksgiving Day to Cyber Monday, while 51 million shopped only in stores.

An additional 64 million did both.

And more than 750 retailers participated in Free Shipping Day earlier this month, which one CBS affiliate said was meant to give consumers “peace of mind knowing their order is guaranteed to be delivered by Christmas Eve.” Unless, of course, those dreaded “porch pirates” interfere.

A new bill aims to target porch piracy — the theft of delivered packages.

Greene County, was a victim of package theft himself: a pair of diamond earrings for which he received a refund but resulted in no gift Christmas morning.

“It’s always an issue,” Nevel said.

He recommended people get packages delivered to their workplaces, to their homes only if they can sign off on the package, or to a trusted neighbor. Cameras are also becoming popular to monitor packages, he said.

In Hudson, though, package theft is “not as widespread as you might think,” Hudson Police Chief Edward Moore said Tuesday.

“I think people would be surprised how infrequently it

happens in the city,” Moore said. “I don’t know if it’s because our streets are a little busier, so the idea you can get caught is more likely than in a rural setting.”

Moore said he would have to think more about Jordan’s bill, but he added that a felony charge could be “pretty severe” because it would change the way penal law has been structured around the value of what was stolen, rather than the mere act of theft.

WASHINGTON — John Bolton, the former national security adviser to President Donald Trump who resisted efforts to pressure Ukraine for help against domestic political rivals, dashed any expectation Tuesday that he would testify soon in the House impeachment investigation in response to a court ruling involving a onetime colleague.

Charles J. Cooper, a lawyer who represents Bolton, said that a court decision Monday ordering another former White House official to appear before Congress under subpoena did not apply to Bolton because of the nature of his job. Cooper said Bolton would therefore wait for another judge to rule in a separate case that could take weeks more to litigate.

The statement came a day after a federal district

exclusively on providing information and advice to the president on national security,” Cooper said.

Trump said later Tuesday that he had no concern about Bolton testifying and that he was resisting the House investigation because he considered it illegitimate.

“John Bolton is a patriot and may know that I held back the money from Ukraine because it is considered a corrupt country, & I wanted to know why nearby European countries weren’t putting up money also,” Trump wrote on Twitter, rebutting his own administration officials who have said he was holding the money back to pressure Ukraine.

Bolton is waiting for the result of a separate lawsuit filed by his longtime friend and former deputy, Charles Kupperman, who was subpoenaed in the impeachment inquiry.

judge rejected the assertion that Trump could block aides from responding to congressional subpoenas based on a sweeping claim of presidential immunity.

The ruling ordered Don McGahn, a former White House counsel for Trump, to comply with a House subpoena. McGahn’s lawyer filed a notice Tuesday that he would appeal and asked that the order be suspended in the meantime.

While the judge said it made no difference whether a White House official dealt with national security matters, Cooper rejected any suggestion that it would cover Bolton.

“Any passing references in the McGahn decision to presidential communications concerning national security matters are not authoritative on the validity of testimonial immunity for close White House advisers” whose “responsibilities are focused

Big balloons at Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade might be grounded Michael Gold The New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — Astronaut Snoopy might not be cleared for take off. The famously buoyant SpongeBob SquarePants could wind up deflated and depressed. Olaf, the garrulous snowman from “Frozen,” could find himself melting into a heaping puddle on the pavement.

If the forecast for high winds holds, the most famous balloons in America, which float over Manhattan every Thanksgiving in the annual Macy’s parade, might get grounded this year.

(Sorry, kids! There’s always

something for Christmas or come treat yourself,” she said.

There will be live entertainment beginning with the Resurrection Lutheran Church’s Folk Choir at 11 a.m., followed

by Christie and Ben from Southbound at noon and local musician Donna Trunzo at 2 p.m.

“People can come and shop, have lunch, and now we have live entertainment,” she said.

“It’s a nice way to kick off the holiday season.”

Additionally, there will be a 50/50 raffle opportunity, with tickets at $1 each or six for $5, Fancher-Margiasso said, and a Chance auction where vendors are asked to donate items.

Auction tickets can be

Disney Plus.)

Character balloons have been a staple of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade since 1927. But as the holiday approaches, meteorologists are forecasting heavy winds and strong gusts that could keep the parade’s big balloons from taking flight.

The final decision on whether the parade’s 16 giant balloons get pulled from the lineup won’t be made until Thursday morning, officials said. They cautioned that it was still too early to know whether the balloons would be aloft for the event’s 9 a.m. start.

According to city regulations,

the balloons cannot fly if there are sustained winds above 23 mph or if gusts exceed 34 mph.

As of Tuesday morning, the National Weather Service was predicting that Thanksgiving Day would bring winds of up to 25 mph, with gusts of up to 38 mph throughout the New York region.

Matthew Wunsch, a meteorologist at the Weather Service, warned that gusts in the densely built parts of Manhattan, where tall buildings create a wind tunnel, could rise even higher.

Macy’s also has a licensed meteorologist on site every year to observe conditions,

purchased for $2 each, 4 for $5 or 12 for $10, Fancher-Margiasso said.

Funds from ticket sales and from selling vendor space at $20 per table, will go directly toward helping cancer patients, Fancher-Margiasso said.

The Women’s League can cover up to $4,000 in medical expenses per patient, she said.

People interested in receiving help with their treatment costs have to go through an application process to prove they are Greene County residents, have insurance and are actively fighting cancer, Fancher-Margiasso said.

Fancher-Margiasso is no stranger to the process, she said.

“In 2013 I was diagnosed with cancer,” she said. “My world was crashing down around me. I didn’t know what the insurance was going to pay. I was trying to figure

out how I was going to do this without bankrupting us.”

Fancher-Margiasso was introduced to the Greene County Women’s League and the experience was life-changing, she said.

“I look at the world a little bit differently now,” she said.

“I feel like this is what I’m supposed to be doing. This is my mission in life.”

The organization boasts more than 70 members, Fancher-Margiasso said.

“All the ladies have this same passion,” she said. “It’s a good healing experience to be a part of the organization.”

Fancher-Margiasso’s cancer has been in remission for more than six years. Each year, she sells framed prints at the craft fair.

monitor winds and help make the decision about the floating characters in each year’s celebration.

Controlling a massive balloon down the 2-mile parade route can be a challenge in the best of conditions. The biggest of the balloons measures between 50 and 60 feet tall and can be just as long.

The balloons also weigh hundreds of pounds and require dozens of trained balloon handlers to maneuver them through streets lined with gawking spectators and hulking buildings.

To help avoid crashes and other catastrophes, each

floating behemoth is assigned a supervisor, Harrison said. As the inflated characters hover their way downtown, the supervisors instruct handlers to reel them lower or higher based on changing wind conditions.

Each balloon has its own “predetermined flight risk” based on its size and weight, Harrison said.

The Police Department also has seven wind-monitoring devices, called anemometers, to measure gusts along the route.

If the giant balloons are grounded, Veras said, it would be only the second time in the history of the Macy’s parade that they were forbidden from

taking flight. The first was in 1971, when a cold, wet and windy Thanksgiving kept the balloons on the ground.

New York City’s balloon regulations came after an accident during the parade in 1997, when strong winds swept the giant Cat in the Hat balloon into a lamppost. Part of the lamppost broke off and fell onto parade spectators, injuring four, including a 33-year-old woman who suffered a serious head injury and spent nearly a month in a coma.

The accident led city officials to enact stricter guidelines for the use of gargantuan balloons during high winds.

Giants’ Peppers, Tate suffer serious injuries

ROBERT HANASHIRO/USA TODAY

Los Angeles Rams outside linebacker Samson Ebukam (50) tries to make a diving tackle to stop Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (8) on Monday night at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

KENA KRUTSINGER/USA TODAY

Chicago Bears strong safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix (21) tackles New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (15) at Soldier Field.

Pat Leonard New York Daily News

Two key Giants starters sustained serious injuries on Sunday: safety Jabrill Peppers (transverse process fracture) and wide receiver Golden Tate (concussion).

Peppers’ injury refers to a fractured bone connected to the vertebrae that protect the spinal cord.

Head coach Pat Shurmur expressed hope Peppers might be able to play again this season “relative to pain tolerance.” That would seem to indicate the injury will not require surgery.

Peppers also said Sunday before his Monday MRI: “I’m tough, man, so I just hope it’s something I can tough through. That’s what it is.”

But he was struggling badly to manage the pain in the postgame locker room, and this is a serious injury that requires caution. So it could end his season depending on how he progresses.

Tate, meanwhile, was diagnosed with his second concussion of the year, including a preseason concussion also incurred against the Bears.

The Giants took the step of describing exactly when Sunday’s concussion happened in a statement, saying: “The cause of Golden’s concussion is the way he landed on the touchdown reception.”

A’s agree to deal with Maple Hill’s Schultz Columbia-Greene Media

The Oakland Athletics have agreed to a minor league contract with Maple Hill graduate Jaime Schultz.

Schultz will be invited to Major League Spring Training and vie for a bullpen job in camp.

Schultz, 28, has spent the past two seasons in the Rays and Dodgers organizations, where he’s scuffled to a combined 5.86 ERA in 35 1/3 innings at the MLB level. Schultz has averaged 9.7 K/9 during that time but has also surrendered an average of 5.1 walks and 1.8 homers per nine innings of work.

Schultz averaged just under 96 miles per hour on his fastball in 2019, has a career 12.5 percent swinging-strike rate in the big leagues and was in the 87th percentile of MLB pitchers in terms of fastball spin rate this past season, perhaps suggesting there’s more in the tank.

Schultz has also appeared in parts of four Triple-A campaigns and notched a 4.42 ERA with 12.1 K/9 against 4.9 BB/9 in 226 innings. He’s been more of a flyball pitcher since moving to the bullpen

a few years back but did post an aboveaverage 47.2 percent mark in that regard

with the Dodgers’ Triple-A affiliate in 2019.

Lamar Jackson tied his career high by throwing five touchdown passes as the Baltimore Ravens started fast and never relented in a 45-6 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night that extend their winning streak to seven games.

Jackson built his MVP case by throwing two TD passes to Marquise Brown and two more to Willie Snead. The Ravens’ second-year quarterback threw for 169 yards and rushed for 95 more in his Monday Night Football debut – becoming the first player ever to throw five scoring passes in his first MNF game.

Jackson’s outing proved to be yet another historical performance for the Ravens’ young star. According to the ESPN broadcast, he became the first in history with 3,000 passing yards and 1,500 rush yards within his first two seasons. He also became the first NFL player with 50 rushing yards and four or more touchdown passes in consecutive games.

Running back Mark Ingram added two TDs of his own, one on the ground and another on a pass from Jackson as the Ravens became the first team since the 2008 New Orleans Saints to reach the end zone in each of their first six possessions.

Baltimore added the exclamation point to the victory in the fourth quarter when Ravens cornerback Marcus Peters intercepted a pass from Jared Goff, five weeks after the Rams traded him to

Baltimore.

Goff passed for 212 yards and two interceptions as the Rams had 221 yards of total offense and lost for the fifth time in their past eight games. Goff did not throw a TD pass for the third consecutive game. Running back Todd Gurley was held to only 22 rushing yards on six carries.

The 39-point loss marked the Rams’ worst all-time loss at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum, dating back to 1946.

After holding the Rams to three plays on the first drive of the game, the Ravens went on a nine-play, 55-yard drive that finished with a 6-yard TD pass from Jackson to Brown. The Ravens held the Rams to a three-and-out again on their second possession before taking off on a seven-play, 61-yard drive that ended with Jackson’s 18-yard strike to Brown.

The Rams had zero total yards after their first two possessions, while the Ravens led 14-0.

Ingram had a 1-yard TD run and Snead caught a 7-yard TD pass in the second quarter as the Ravens took a 28-6 lead into halftime.

Jackson not only completed 9 of 9 passes for 87 yards in the first half, the Ravens had 173 rushing yards to the Rams’ 19. He finished 15 of 20 before he was lifted early in the fourth quarter, but not before he delivered his second five-TD performance of the season, also doing it in the season opener against the Miami Dolphins.

The team the Knicks are hoping to emulate to turn their season around

By Chris Iseman The Record

NEW YORK — David Fizdale has often made the reference.

In trying to convey that a rough start doesn’t have to spell disaster, the Knicks coach has brought up the 2016-17 Miami Heat.

That team dropped 30 of its first 41 games before going 30-11 the rest of the season to finish with an even record of 41-41.

It’s an example the Knicks could follow — but of course, actually accomplishing such a turnaround is the difficult part.

They’re 4-13 after losing to the Brooklyn Nets, 103-101, Sunday at the Garden. The Knicks have pushed some good teams late into the games, but have struggled to actually get over the hump and close out potential victories.

Fizdale believes his team is capable of turning this around.

“Just because of the character and the fact that when you try to work at something with them they really take it to heart and try to get better at it,” Fizdale said.

Again, that’s easier said than done and the Knicks have many improvements they need to make.

They’re still struggling to put together a full 48 minutes of complete basketball. Their offense has a tendency to get stagnant at times

and their frequent inability to defend the perimeter has hurt them.

The foul line struggles haven’t helped either.

The Knicks on Sunday were 9-of-16 from the

free throw line, while the Nets were 27-of-34.

Whether the fouls were arguable or not, the Knicks committed too many of them.

“I think the biggest stat that really hurt us was the touch fouls and putting them on the line,” Fizdale said. “They shot 34 free throws, made 27, and we were only 9-for-16. I think that’s the biggest discrepancy in the game.”

All the news and analysis about the Giants, Eagles, Cowboys, & Redskins.

The Knicks are shooting 67.1% from the free throw line, which ranks dead last in the NBA. They’re leaving some crucial points at the line.

The Knicks have remained optimistic, at least publicly.

They’ve been encouraged by the fact that they’ve at least given themselves a chance to win in several of their losses.

The Spurs on Saturday led by as many as 28 points, but the Knicks climbed back and ended up losing by seven. And the Knicks were down by 14 in the first quarter against the Nets before eventually fighting back to tie it and later losing by two points.

The Knicks have also played the Celtics down to the final seconds before losing on a Jayson See KNICKS B3

NBA roundup: Antetokounmpo nets 50 in Bucks’ win Field Level Media

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 50 points, collected 14 rebounds and dished out six assists to help the Milwaukee Bucks hold on for a 122-118 win over the visiting Utah Jazz on Monday night.

Wesley Matthews added 19 points and Eric Bledsoe chipped in 13 for the Bucks, who won for the 12th time in 13 games and avenged their only loss during that stretch.

Bojan Bogdanovic scored 24 points and Donovan Mitchell added 20 for the Jazz. Utah played without Rudy Gobert, who was sidelined for a second consecutive game with a sprained ankle. In Gobert’s absence, the Jazz enjoyed another fast start on offense. They shot 48.8 percent from the field in the first half – including 9 of 18 from 3-point range.

Utah rallied from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter and cut Milwaukee’s lead to 120-118 on Mitchell’s layup with 43.8 seconds remaining. The Jazz had a chance to tie, but Brook Lopez blocked another layup attempt from Mitchell with 4.4 seconds left.

Thunder 100, Warriors 97 Chris Paul buried a 19-footer with 36.8 seconds remaining as part of a 13-0, game-ending run, and Oklahoma City stunned Golden State in San Francisco.

It appeared Golden State was in line for just its second home win of the season when Glenn Robinson III capped a careerbest, 25-point night with a 3-pointer with 3:18 to play, putting the Warriors up 97-87.

But Oklahoma City, in beating the Warriors for the third straight time this season, did the rest of the game’s scoring, starting with 3-pointers by Paul (20 points) and Dennis Schroder (team-high 22 points).

Nets 108, Cavaliers 106 Spencer Dinwiddie scored 23 points and hit the game-winning jumper with 1.8 seconds as Brooklyn withstood blowing a nine-point lead in the final twoplus minutes and pulled out a dramatic victory at Cleveland.

Dinwiddie continued to fill in effectively for Kyrie Irving (right shoulder impingement), who missed his sixth straight game and is out for at least one more game. He posted at least 20 points for a career-high sixth straight game, and the Nets improved to 5-1 in those contests.

Allen added 22 points and 21 rebounds for his second career 20-20 game as Brooklyn (9-8) also moved above the .500 mark for the first time this season. Harris contributed 19 points and Prince chipped in 18 for Brooklyn. Jordan Clarkson led Cleveland with 23 points.

Raptors 101, 76ers 96 Fred VanVleet scored 24 points, including two important free throws with 11 seconds remaining, and added eight assists

as Toronto defeated visiting Philadelphia.

Pascal Siakam had 25 points for the Raptors, including a dunk as time expired in the fourth quarter, and Rondae HollisJefferson contributed 16 points and 10 rebounds. The Raptors are 7-0 at home and have won 14 straight regular-season games at home against the 76ers.

Josh Richardson scored 25 points for the 76ers, Tobias Harris added 18, Al Horford had 11 points and 10 rebounds, and Ben Simmons notched 10 points, nine rebounds and 14 assists. Joel Embiid had no points on 0-for11 shooting and 13 rebounds in 32 minutes – the first scoreless game of his career.

Lakers 114, Spurs 104 LeBron James poured in 33 points and dished out 14 assists to push visiting Los Angeles past struggling San Antonio for its eighth straight win.

Anthony Davis added 19 points, 15 of them in the second half, and 12 rebounds while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 14 for the Lakers. Los Angeles is off to its best start since the 2008-09 season, which ended with the Lakers as NBA champions.

LaMarcus Aldridge paced the Spurs with 30 points, with DeMar DeRozan adding 24. Bryn Forbes scored 13 and Derrick White hit for 11 for San Antonio, which has lost nine of 10 games overall and four straight home games.

Pistons 103, Magic 88 Luke Kennard led a balanced attack with 20 points and seven assists as host Detroit downed Orlando.

Kennard was among six Pistons in double figures. Blake Griffin contributed 17 points and Bruce Brown had 13 points and eight rebounds. Langston Galloway, Svi Mykhailiuk and Christian Wood all had 12 points for the Pistons, who had lost six of their previous seven games.

Andre Drummond led the rebounding effort with 18.

Terrence Ross scored 19 points off the bench for the Magic, who are 0-7 on the road this season. Evan Fournier had 17 points but shot just 5-for-16 from the field. Markelle Fultz supplied 16 points.

Celtics 103, Kings 102 Marcus Smart connected on a driving layup with 31.1 seconds remaining and followed with a key steal to lead host Boston past Sacramento.

Jaylen Brown led Boston with 24 points, Jayson Tatum added 20, and Smart and Enes Kanter were also in double figures with 17 and 13, respectively. Boston played without point guard Kemba Walker, who was ruled out a couple hours before tipoff due to a neck sprain.

Buddy Hield enjoyed a big night for the Kings with a careerhigh 41 points and a franchiserecord 11 3-pointers. Harrison Barnes added 20 points, and Bogdan Bogdanovic had 13

points and eight assists for Sacramento.

Trail Blazers 117, Bulls 94 Carmelo Anthony scored a season-high 25 points on 10for-20 shooting, and Portland cruised to a win at Chicago. Anthony connected on 4 of 7 attempts from beyond the arc in his fourth game with the Trail Blazers.

CJ McCollum scored 21 points, and Damian Lillard notched a double-double with 13 points and 12 assists for Portland, which snapped a four-game losing streak.

Zach LaVine led the Bulls with 18 points on 6-for-13 shooting, and Wendell Carter Jr. had 12 points and nine rebounds. Chicago, which trailed by as many as 28 and was outrebounded 55-37, took its fifth loss in seven games.

Pacers 126, Grizzlies 114 T.J. Warren scored 26 points and Jeremy Lamb added 19 as Indiana posted a victory over Memphis in Indianapolis.

Warren made 11 of 15 attempts from the floor and Domantas Sabonis collected 13 points and 13 rebounds for the Pacers, who shot 54.5 percent from 3-point range to record their 10th win in 13 outings. The point total also served as a season high.

Indiana’s Malcolm Brogdon had 14 points, eight assists and six rebounds in his return from a three-game absence due to a sore back. Jaren Jackson scored 28 points for the Grizzlies, and rookie Ja Morant had 19 points and 10 assists.

Heat 117, Hornets 100 Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo each scored 21 points, helping Miami improve to 7-0 at home.

Butler added seven assists, and Adebayo had 13 rebounds and five assists. Heat reserve forward Kelly Olynyk posted 15 points and a career-high 16 rebounds, and backup point guard Goran Dragic chipped in with a game-high nine assists.

Miami, which led for the game’s final 41 minutes, also was powered by rookie guards Tyler Herro (18 points) and Kendrick Nunn (19 points, 5-of-6 3-pointers). Terry Rozier topped the Hornets with 19 points and nine rebounds.

Timberwolves 125, Hawks 113 Karl-Anthony Towns recorded 28 points and 13 rebounds, Andrew Wiggins added 25 points, and Minnesota topped host Atlanta.

The Timberwolves won for just the second time in six games while sending the Hawks to their seventh loss in a row.

Minnesota trailed by 10 points at halftime, but a 39-point eruption in the third quarter powered the Timberwolves into a lead they maintained for the duration of the fourth. The Hawks got a game-high 37 points from Trae Young and 22 from Jabari Parker.

Nadal ends the season in a familiar place: On top Christopher Clarey The New York Times News Service

MADRID — The 2019 men’s tennis season did not end as it had begun for Rafael Nadal.

In January, after overcoming his latest round of injury concerns, he faced Novak Djokovic in the final of the Australian Open and looked powerless as Djokovic ripped winners and controlled long rallies seemingly at will.

Nadal was a rare blend of sheepish and bewildered when the 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 drubbing was over.

Flash forward to Sunday night at the Caja Mágica when Nadal, after overcoming another round of injury concerns, finished off a week of remarkable tennis and leadership by clinching the Davis Cup title in front of a home crowd in Madrid.

He and Spain are team champions again, just as they were in 2004, when Nadal was a longhaired teenager in clam diggers surprised to be picked for singles.

He is now 33 and back at No. 1 at season’s end — a record 11 years after he finished on top for the first time.

He is a different style of player at this stage: more intent on shortening points with his improved serve, excellent volleys and advanced court position (when he’s not returning serve near the back wall).

But he is the same kind of champion: a supreme in-the-moment battler whose attitude is as big a weapon as his bolo-whip forehand.

Knicks From B1

Tatum buzzer-beater earlier this month.

And two of their wins came against potential MVP-candidate Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks, a team that should contend in the Western Conference.

Giants From B1

punt return. He missed one offensive series before returning to the game. He caught that 23-yard touchdown pass from Jones late, landing hard and looking shaken up, but still played on the Giants’ next and last drive of the game.

Now he’s out for an indefinite period of time.

If Peppers can’t play Sunday against the Green Bay Packers (8-3) and beyond, rookie Julian Love proved Sunday in Chicago that he’s capable of stepping in.

“The guy just continues to amaze me,” said Paul Annacone, who coached two former No. 1s, Pete Sampras and Roger Federer. “The thing about Rafa is his engine revs so high that you always thought he would burn out faster, but I think the biggest factor is the simplicity of why he plays and what drives him. He’s never really gotten sidetracked from that theme, even with his injuries. And as much as he loves to compete, the simplicity of accepting what he can’t control really has helped him continue to play.”

Nadal did have a rare case of melancholy this spring after his chronic knee tendinitis flared and forced him to withdraw during the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California.

His coach, Carlos Moyá, said Nadal was as dejected as he had seen him, but instead of taking an extended break, Nadal played his way through and out of the funk during the clay-court season.

After defeating Djokovic for the Italian Open title, he won the French Open for a preposterous 12th time. After losing a Wimbledon semifinal to Federer, Nadal rebounded again to win a fourth U.S. Open title. He did it by fighting through fatigue and tactical conundrums to snuff out a comeback by newcomer Daniil Medvedev in a classic five-set final full of all-court play and extraterrestrial defense.

After taking a break to marry his

longtime girlfriend, Maria Francisca Perelló, in Mallorca, Spain, in October, Nadal regathered momentum by winning his final two round-robin matches at the ATP Finals and then was at full power for Davis Cup in singles and doubles.

He and Djokovic divided the biggest spoils in men’s tennis in 2019: Each won two of the four Grand Slam singles titles. But Nadal was the one who finished on the upswing, and he can now ride that wave into 2020, when he will try to match Federer’s record of 20 major men’s singles titles.

For now, Nadal has 19, though he prefers not to discuss the chase, out of respect for Federer and a desire to avoid narrowing his focus.

Others will discuss it plenty in the new year, however.

“I don’t see how he can’t get to 20,” Annacone said. “I think Rafa is still the favorite at the French until he retires or until he can’t walk.

But I’ll be shocked if there’s not one new Slam winner next year.”

With a new decade looming, it does at last seem conceivable. No active player currently under 30 has won a major singles title, which is without precedent in modern men’s tennis. The Big Three — Nadal, Djokovic and Federer — finished in the top three slots in the rankings for the eighth time overall.

But there were four first-time members of the year-end top 10 in 2019, including Medvedev, 23, and

Dennis Smith Jr. thinks the Knicks are better than their record indicates.

“One-hundred percent,” Smith said. “We’ve had some bad losses but we’ve been pushing some teams to the brink and it’s little, little discipline things, it’s certain things with discipline that we’ve got to work on in the fourth and I think we’ll clean that up.”

The blowouts they’ve

suffered, though, are the issue.

They’ve come against mediocre teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons and Sacramento Kings.

The Knicks might be finding some more consistency, but their schedule isn’t getting any easier.

It’s getting much more difficult.

They travel to play the Raptors in Toronto on Wednesday

Love, a fourth-round pick out of Notre Dame, played a season-high 42 defensive snaps against the Bears, recording his first NFL interception and narrowly missing another. At first he was playing in a three-safety look with Peppers and Antoine Bethea, then he replaced an injured Peppers in the second half.

“He did a good job,” Shurmur said. “Our intention was to play him some, one of the (adjustments) coming out of the bye ... Then he probably played a little bit more than we had planned when Peppers went down. But he had an impact, an interception. For the most part it looked like he did the right things.”

Peppers added: “I already told y’all Julian is gonna be a player for us. He did a real good job of picking up the slack with not many reps in practice. That’s tricky and he did a hell of a job.”

Linebacker Deone Bucannon (ankle) was injured in the second half, and wide receiver Cody Latimer was seen walking out of the X-ray room postgame, but there were no updates as of Monday.

The Giants hope to get back tight ends Evan Engram (left foot sprain) and Rhett Ellison (concussion) against Green Bay after both sat out in Chicago, but there won’t be an update until Wednesday.

Stefanos Tsitsipas, 21.

Youngsters like Denis Shapovalov of Canada, 20, and Andrey Rublev of Russia, 22, look quite capable of breaking into the top 10 in 2020 if they can improve their consistency and stay healthy.

Both played big roles in the Davis Cup finals, but the event was a mixed bag.

Tsitsipas, the soulful and shaggy new Greek star, defeated every member of the Big Three, including Nadal on clay, in 2019. So did Dominic Thiem, and they underscored the threat of generational change by facing off for the title at the ATP Finals in London, with Tsitsipas prevailing.

The consensus match of the year was Djokovic’s five-set victory in the Wimbledon final over Federer after saving two match points on Federer’s serve.

But other memorable duels were old guard-new wave matchups: Tsitsipas upsetting Federer at the Australian Open, Nadal holding off Medvedev at the U.S. Open and Thiem defeating Djokovic at the ATP Finals.

Still, beating the Big Three over best-of-five sets to win majors has remained too much of a physical and mental challenge.

Youth rose in 2019, and so did tennis tensions, as internal political squabbles often dominated offcourt discussions. Chris Kermode, chief executive and chairman of the ATP, was ousted, and one of his

before hosting the Sixers on Friday. They then play the Boston Celtics at home before playing the Bucks in Milwaukee on the second half of a back to back.

Then they play the Denver Nuggets at home.

All of those teams have chances at winning their respective conferences.

Pushing those teams is one thing. They actually have to win at least one of them to avoid

roles will be filled next year by Andrea Gaudenzi, a former pro player from Italy. Djokovic, president of the player council, seemed to spend as much of the year in backrooms as on center courts.

The new ATP Cup, with a format similar to the reconfigured Davis Cup’s, starts on Jan. 3 in Australia ahead of the Australian Open. Next year, the top players will have to choose (or not) among ATP Cup, Davis Cup, the Laver Cup and the Summer Olympics.

“And by the way, you have the regular tour,” Annacone said. “The schedule is a joke next year. You have to be really smart, and you have to make hard decisions.”

Failing a merger of Davis Cup and ATP Cup, men’s tennis should work to give Davis Cup a slot on the calendar that makes the most sense for the player pool while finding a way to preserve the Laver Cup, the team event in September, which is backed by Federer and has been a hit.

But the Laver Cup involves 14 players. The Davis Cup finals involve approximately 90 in the current 18-team format (fewer would be better).

Next year, the Davis Cup finals are set to finish in Madrid on Nov. 29, which gives those 90 men barely one month of offseason.

That is no way to run a grinding global sport.

falling to 4-18.

“We’re going to take it a game at a time and continue to try to give ourselves a chance to win every night,” Fizdale said.

Wayne Ellington knows that Miami Heat team Fizdale often references well.

He was on it.

The veteran guard believes his current team is capable of turning things around.

Whether they actually do that

is the big question.

“It’s not easy to win in this league,” Ellington said. “That’s what I continue to tell the young guys. I see a lot of similarities to that team that we went 11-30 and flipped the whole thing and went 30-11 to finish the season.

I don’t plan on us going 11-30, but I think that we’re going to have a breakthrough sooner or later.”

LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE OF OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT ON PROPOSED CONVERSION OF MARION BEGGS POINT PARK This notice is to announce the opportunity for public comment under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) beginning Wednesday, November 27, 2019 and ending Friday, December 27, 2019 on the proposed transference of Land and Water Conservation Fund compliance requirements from 2.23 acres of existing parkland in the Town of Essex, Essex County to 130.43 acres of new parkland in the Town of Gallatin, Columbia County, in accordance with the LWCF regulations found at 16 U.S.C. 4601-4 et seq. The Environmental Assessment (EA) completed pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) will be used by the National Park Service (NPS) to evaluate the environmental impacts of the proposed conversion and replacement to fulfill its NEPA requirements.

The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (“OPRHP�) is proposing to convert Marion Beggs Point Park to enable the Town of Essex to comply with a NYS Department of Health Consent Order. Marion Beggs Point Park was acquired and developed with LWCF funds and, by acceptance of such funds, the Town is required to maintain the Park in public outdoor recreation use in perpetuity, as required by the Section 6(f) of the LWCF Act, as amended. However, the LWCF Act also provides for the conversion of parkland, so long as the replacement parkland provided is of at least equal fair market value and of reasonably equivalent recreational usefulness. Replacement of the converted parkland will occur by the addition of 130.43 acres of parkland to Lake Taghkanic State Park in Columbia County. National Park Service approval is required on a proposal to convert parkland protected under Section 6(f) of the LWCF Act, as amended.

You can view the proposed conversion and environmental assessment in the following ways: 1. The Environmental Assessment has been posted on the Internet at: https://parks.ny.gov/inside-our-agency/publicdocuments.aspx 2.

NHL roundup: Stars’ 7th straight win ties team mark Field Level Media

Alexander Radulov had two goals and an assist, and John Klingberg had three assists as the Dallas Stars tied a franchise record with their seventh straight victory, 4-2 over the visiting Vegas Golden Knights on Monday.

Esa Lindell and Jason Dickinson also scored, and Tyler Sequin had two assists for Dallas, which extended its point streak to 12 games (11-0-1) for the first time since 2002-03. It was the fifth time in franchise history Dallas won seven straight games, most recently in 2008.

Ben Bishop finished with 26 saves for the Stars to extend his personal win streak to six starts.

Paul Stastny and Shea Theodore scored goals for Vegas, which dropped its third straight game and eighth in the past 10 (2-6-2). The Golden Knights also have lost five consecutive road games.

Ducks 3, Islanders 0 Ryan Getzlaf and Cam Fowler had a goal and an assist apiece as host Anaheim ended New York’s franchise-record, 17-game point streak.

Goalie John Gibson made 26 saves for the Ducks, who returned home from a four-game road trip to end a three-game losing streak. Anaheim also snapped a five-game home losing streak. Ondrej Kase added a third-period goal for Anaheim, which had lost eight of its previous nine games (1-5-3).

NFL power rankings, Week 13: Ravens keep top spot after their dazzling show in L.A. Mark Maske The Washington Post

Each week during the season, Post NFL writer Mark Maske ranks the teams. This week, the Ravens retain the No. 1 spot for a second straight week after their victory Monday night over the Rams. The Patriots, Seahawks and 49ers remain on the heels of the Ravens, and the idle Vikings replace the Packers in the top five after Green Bay’s defeat at San Francisco. The Bills and Texans move into the top 10, replacing the Cowboys and Raiders.

1. Baltimore Ravens (9-2) | Last Week’s Rank: 1 That was a dazzling show-again-by Lamar Jackson on Monday night in L.A., with his five TD passes and 95 rushing yards. The Ravens aren’t just winning. They’re beating good teams badly. It will be so interesting to see how they fare Sunday in Baltimore against the 49ers and that superb defense.

2. New England Patriots (10-1) | Last Week’s Rank: 2 It was more of the same for the Patriots against the Cowboys. The defense was great. The special teams helped out. The offense was just kind of there. This is a 10-1 team so this is very much a first-world problem, in NFL terms. But can the Patriots really win another Super Bowl with the offense playing like this?

3. Seattle Seahawks (9-2) | Last Week’s Rank: 3 The win in Philadelphia kept the Seahawks on the heels of the 49ers in the NFC West. The Seahawks have the tie-breaker advantage after handing the Niners their only loss. It could come down to the teams’ Week 17 meeting in Seattle.

4. San Francisco 49ers (10-1) | Last Week’s Rank: 4 The return of TE George Kittle made a huge difference, and the Niners looked like a complete team Sunday night in overwhelming the Packers. Next up are

road games at Baltimore and New Orleans. This is a brutally tough stretch of the schedule, but the 49ers say they regard it as an opportunity to show everyone how good they are.

5. Minnesota Vikings (83) | Last Week’s Rank: 6 The bye week was kind to the Vikings, as they pulled into a first-place tie with the Packers in the NFC North with Green Bay’s loss. The NFC is tough but the new and improved version of Kirk Cousins makes the Vikings a team not to be overlooked.

6. New Orleans Saints (92) | Last Week’s Rank: 7 Saints fans probably would have just taken it in stride, huh, if that instant replay reversal on pass interference had given the Panthers a victory Sunday at the Superdome?

7. Kansas City Chiefs (74) | Last Week’s Rank: 8 It was a good bye week for the Chiefs, as the Raiders’ loss left them in sole possession of first place in the AFC West. But now that the Chiefs have gotten help, they need to help themselves.

8. Green Bay Packers (83) | Last Week’s Rank: 5 The Packers were not ready for prime time Sunday night in the lopsided defeat the 49ers. It’s not time to give up on Green Bay, not with Aaron Rodgers around to warn everyone to R-E-L-A-X. But now it’s on the Packers to prove they belong among the NFC’s top teams.

9. Buffalo Bills (8-3) | Last Week’s Rank: 11 The Bills continue to win, and no one seems to notice or care all that much. Has an 8-3 team ever received so little attention?

10. Houston Texans (7-4) | Last Week’s Rank: 12 The triumph Thursday night over the Colts means the Texans remain the class of the AFC South. But does that really mean very much?

The two goals broke open a 3-2 game midway through the third period and helped Tampa Bay to its third straight win and sixth in its past eight games.

Palat, who added two assists, recorded his 200th assist and 300th point on Nikita Kucherov’s goal that opened the game’s scoring.

Rangers 3, Wild 2 (OT) Tony DeAngelo scored 32 seconds into overtime for host New York, which mounted a late comeback to edge Minnesota.

The Rangers won the overtime faceoff and maintained control of the puck until DeAngelo weaved his way into the open slot and beat Alex Stalock from point-blank range.

Brady Skjei scored in the first period and Chris Kreider forced overtime by scoring on the power

play with 2:50 left for the Rangers, who have won two straight and three of four. Zach Parise and Ryan Donato scored for the Wild.

Predators 3, Blues 2 (SO) Daniel Carr scored the decisive shootout goal as Nashville edged visiting St. Louis, beating the Blues for the second time in three days. The Predators defeated the Blues 4-2 on Saturday night to snap their six-game winless streak.

Ryan Johansen and Nick Bonino scored for the Predators, and Juuse Saros stopped 23 of 25 shots.

David Perron and Brayden Schenn scored, and Jake Allen made 37 saves for the Blues, who have earned points in 12 of their past 14 games (9-2-3).

Penguins 3, Flames 2 (OT) Jake Guentzel scored with 56 seconds left in overtime to give Pittsburgh the win over visiting Calgary.

Alex Galchenyuk and Jared McCann each added a goal and an assist, and Dominik Kahun had two assists for Pittsburgh, which won its second straight and extended its point streak to five games (3-0-2).

Penguins backup goalie Tristan Jarry, starting in consecutive games for the first time this season, made 32 saves. Dillon Dube and Sean Monahan had the Calgary goals, and David Rittich stopped 35 shots.

Blue Jackets 1, Senators 0 Oliver Bjorkstrand’s goal 21 seconds into the third period and Joonas Korpisalo’s 25 saves gave Columbus the win over visiting Ottawa.

Korpisalo improved to 4-0-0 with a .922 save percentage over his past four starts. The shutout was the second of Korpisalo’s career, and his first since Feb. 25, 2017, against the New York Islanders.

The goaltender was solid throughout but came up especially big on a pair of Ottawa scoring chances in the third period. Korpisalo stopped a Connor Brown breakaway at 9:45, then stopped a point-blank shot from Anthony Duclair with 10 seconds remaining.

Surprise players emerge early in college basketball Jon Rothstein The New York Times News Service

One thing that’s very clear right now in college basketball: New faces are starting to emerge.

With November tournaments creating key early season showdowns, many players are taking advantage of fresh opportunities to produce. That should continue from now until the start of conference play in early January.

— What We Learned Jared Butler showed again why he’s one of the sport’s best guards. The 6-foot-3 sophomore shined with 22 points in Baylor’s win over Villanova on Sunday in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Baylor should threaten Kansas in the Big 12 once veteran forward Tristan Clark fully recovers from a knee injury he suffered last season. Baylor coach Scott Drew said Clark probably would not be fully healthy until conference play begins.

Vernon Carey has arrived.

Carey, a Duke freshman, dominated the Empire Classic last week at Madison Square Garden, averaging 25.5 points and 11 rebounds in the two-game tournament. “He’s a focal point in our offense,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said of the 6-10 Carey. “He’s not just a big man either. He’s versatile.” Carey has made three 3-pointers already this season and has the ability to open things up for the Blue Devils offense because of his ability to face the basket. “I think he’s potentially a national player of the year candidate,” California coach Mark Fox said after the Golden Bears lost to Duke on Thursday.

Memphis still has reinforcements without James Wiseman. The Tigers are likely to have to wait until Jan. 12 to have Wiseman in the lineup after he was suspended by the NCAA because coach Penny Hardaway gave Wiseman’s family $11,500 when he was in high school. Memphis is still capable without Wiseman, with many talented players as shown in Saturday’s home win over Mississippi. First-year forwards Precious Achiuwa and D.J. Jeffries combined for 48 points and 15 rebounds in the victory over the Rebels, thriving in Memphis’ high octane approach.

by senior point guard Payton Pritchard. Seton Hall has Myles Powell, who could be an AllAmerican or even the national player of the year. Their game at the Battle 4 Atlantis feels like it could be a round of 16 matchup in the NCAA tournament.

Maryland tops a deep field at the Orlando Invitational.

Although the Terps have won their first five games by an average of 22.8 points, all five were at home. “It’s going to be good for us to get away and test ourselves a bit,” Maryland coach Mark Turgeon said. Maryland opens in Orlando, Florida, against Temple. Harvard, Texas A&M, Southern California, Marquette, Davidson and Fairfield are also part of the tournament.

Louisville gets its toughest test so far. The Conference USA favorite, Western Kentucky, plays Louisville on Friday in Nashville, Tennessee. The Hilltoppers have a potential All-American in center Charles Bassey. Western Kentucky earned wins last season over West Virginia, Wisconsin and Arkansas. The Cardinals are 6-0 and have only played one team so far from a power conference.

— More to Consider — Virginia may be elite on defense, but its offense remains a major work in progress. The Cavaliers had a nine-minute

scoring drought in Sunday’s 48-45 win over Arizona State.

Through six games, Virginia is averaging only 56.7 points.

— Mississippi State’s Robert Woodard is one of the best kept secrets in the Southeastern Conference. It won’t stay that way for long. “He’s shooting the ball much better, and he’s really rebounding and defending,” Mississippi State coach Ben Howland said. “He looks like a legitimate small forward now.” With Woodard and his fellow sophomore Reggie Perry up front, the Bulldogs have a legitimate chance to return to the NCAA tournament in 2020.

Through seven games, Woodard is averaging 12.1 points and 8.3 rebounds.

— Connecticut coach Dan Hurley has a burgeoning star in freshman guard James Bouknight. After missing the first three games of the season because of a suspension based on a car crash and arrest, the 6-4 Bouknight shined over the weekend at the Charleston Classic. In three games, Bouknight averaged 13.3 points and shot 72.7%. He is easily the most talented prospect in the Huskies’ program.

— The players at UCLA may be rated more highly than any team Mick Cronin coached at Cincinnati, but the overall

toughness of the Bruins remains a serious question. UCLA gave up 88 points at home last Thursday to Hofstra. No team scored that many points against one of Cronin’s teams in the final 64 games that he coached at Cincinnati. UCLA was scheduled to play Brigham Young on Monday night in the first round of the Maui Invitational.

— Utah State’s 7-0 start without Neemias Queta shouldn’t go unnoticed. The 7-footer has yet to play this season because of a knee injury and was a major key to the Aggies’ NCAA tournament run last season. Queta is also a potential first-round pick in next year’s NBA draft. Coach Craig Smith’s team could be a trendy pick to do damage later in the season if it ever returns to full strength.

— Temple could be the sleeper team in the American Athletic Conference. The Owls have a proven scorer in senior guard Quinton Rose and a hidden gem in Nate Pierre-Louis, who is quietly emerging as the best rebounding guard in college basketball. “You can teach technique all you want, but you can’t teach desire when it comes to rebounding,” Temple coach Aaron McKie said.

“When I get to the gym early in the morning and hear the ball bouncing, I know it’s Nate.”

Pierre-Louis is averaging 15.8 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 3.5 assists.

— Arkansas is giving up an average of only 47.8 points through its first five games. The competition has not featured a single team from a power conference, but the Razorbacks are clearly committed to guarding opponents with tenacity. “They’ve really bought into man-to-man defense,” Arkansas coach Eric Musselman said.

“I thought maybe we could get to this point by the middle of the season. We’re ahead of schedule.”

— DePaul’s 6-0 start is the best for the Blue Demons since the 1986-87 season. Coach Dave Leitao has two major opportunities in the next two weeks to continue to show progress.

DePaul travels to Minnesota on Saturday and then hosts Texas Tech in Chicago on Dec. 4.

— The city of Destin, Florida, will be the home of this week’s sleeper early season tournament. The Emerald Coast Classic features four teams — Tennessee, Purdue, Florida State and Virginia Commonwealth — that could finish this season in The Associated Press Top 25 poll. All four teams played in the NCAA tournament in March.

Man yearns for old flame as marriage loses intimacy Dear Abby, I am in a 14-year marriage, but there has always been another woman, “Emily,” I have thought about almost daily the whole time. My wife and I have just turned 40.

We have no kids, but we have a dog. I always thought I would DEAR ABBY want kids, and we tried halfheartedly, but there is no real intimacy to this day. I kiss her goodbye in the morning and, for years, that’s been it.

Emily is all in on a relationship with me still to this day. We had a great relationship with great sex, and I miss all of that.

I’m struggling about the right thing to do, partly because I know the pain this will cause.

My wife and I still have good times together with friends, but when we’re home, it’s like we’re just best friends with no benefits. One of the last times we had sex, she ended it abruptly.

The flame I felt for her is gone. I feel like I should go the other direction because she wants kids and still loves me deeply after all these years.

Please advise.

Wrestling With It In Wisconsin

JEANNE PHILLIPS

Clearly you have never stopped talking to Emily. Quit “wrestling” and talk with your WIFE. She may have ended your last sexual encounter because it was physically painful or because she no longer feels emotionally connected to you.

The person who can help you determine what to do next is the woman to whom you are married.

Whether this marriage is salvageable is debatable, but this I do know: A healthy marriage takes TWO committed individuals, and in this case, one of them (you) has been missing in action.

Dear Abby, I am an older woman who finally got fed up with my husband’s cellphone addiction. Since

he would no longer speak to me but spent all his time scrolling on his device, I went out and bought a realistic-looking baby doll. When he pulled out his cell, I pulled out my doll. I talked to it, fiddled with its buttons and carried it everywhere. He finally yelled at me, “It’s not real!” to which I replied, “It’s real; it’s just not alive. LIKE YOUR CELLPHONE.” This final scene was played out in the dining room of our country club, which was filled with members. The phone and “baby” stayed in the car after that. We laugh about it now, and she’s resting comfortably in her carrier, just in case she’s ever needed again.

I hesitate to endorse implied threats in marital disagreements, but your solution worked — brilliantly. So who am I to argue with success? Congratulations!

Dear Readers: Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and no Thanksgiving would be complete without sharing the traditional prayer penned by my dear late mother: Oh, Heavenly Father, We thank Thee for food and remember the hungry.

We thank Thee for health and remember the sick.

We thank Thee for friends and remember the friendless.

We thank Thee for freedom and remember the enslaved.

May these remembrances stir us to service.

That Thy gifts to us may be used for others.

Amen.

Have a safe and happy celebration, everyone!

Salt substitute is a tricky replacement for potassium pills I am a 91-year-old man with swollen legs. I take 20 mg of furosemide and 20 mEq of KlorCon daily. I understand that the Klor-Con is to replace the potassium loss caused by the former. I also understand that I should reduce my salt intake to the lowest amount possible. Because of my age and the poor condition of my taste TO YOUR buds, the loss of table salt is exGOOD HEALTH tremely difficult. I have started using a salt substitute called NoSalt, containing potassium rather than the bad sodium.

Since the salt substitute is providing me with potassium, can I eliminate or lower my intake of Klor-Con?

DR. KEITH ROACH

Sodium and potassium are critically important minerals that need to be regulated precisely. The kidney is normally very good at it, but the furosemide you are taking forces the kidney to lose both sodium and potassium along with water. Prolonged use of furosemide can lead to abnormalities, especially in potassium levels.

Low potassium can cause muscle cramps and weakness, even muscle breakdown. However, high potassium is even more dangerous, as it can lead to a fatal heart rhythm. Potassium replacement needs to be properly managed, including regular blood testing.

Salt substitutes are essentially the same as the Klor-Con you are taking. The first ingredient in your salt substitute is potassium chloride, which

is the active ingredient in Klor-Con. According to the nutrition label, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt substitute contains 650 mg of potassium. Twenty milliequivalents of Klor-Con contains 800 mg of potassium.

Potassium in food is usually given in milligrams, whereas potassium in medicines is usually prescribed in milliequivalents.

With the prescription KlorCon, you are getting precisely the same amount every day. Unless you are meticulously careful, your intake of the salt substitute is likely to vary a bit one day to the next. For a person with healthy kidneys, it’s probably fine. Your kidneys can probably get rid of any excess potassium, provided you are staying within reasonable limits. It’s people with kidney disease (or who are taking other medications that raise potassium, such as ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers or potassium-sparing diuretics) who need to be very careful with salt substitutes.

I should note that treatment with diuretics like furosemide (Lasix) is not an effective long-term treatment for most people with swollen legs. The swelling is commonly due to vein problems in the legs. Diuretics may be needed for people with swollen legs due to liver, heart or kidney problems.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You’re racing toward a certain goal with the bit between your teeth — but is this lack of control really good for you? Try toning it down.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You may have to change the way you think about a certain situation in order to avoid any serious pitfalls that may be presented by it.
