ALBANY — A Columbia County man has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for sexually exploiting a child and possessing child pornography, according to a statement from U.S. Attorney Grant C. Jaquith. John G. Stroming, 60, of Stuyvesant, was convicted May 7 after a two-day jury trial on federal charges of sexual exploitation of a child and possession of child pornography.

Stroming was accused of videotaping himself sexually abusing a 19-month-old child and possessing child pornography, Jaquith said. At the time of the offenses, Stroming was a convicted sex offender. He faced an additional 30 to 50 years as a repeat offender, according to court papers. His federal sentence will run consecutive to a state term of imprisonment Stroming is already serving, according to the sentence handed down

by Senior U.S. District Judge Norman A. Mordue. Stroming was indicted by a federal grand John G. jury Dec. 14, Stroming 2017. Stroming pleaded not guilty to the charges at his arraignment Jan. 10, 2018. In July 2008, Stroming was accused of using a toddler to

engage in sexually explicit conduct with the purpose of making a film, according to court papers. Stroming used a SONY mini digital video cassette to record the sex acts, according to court files. Evidence presented at the trial included the tape used by Stroming and photos of his body, depicted in the videos Stroming recorded, according to court papers. Stroming’s federal sentence will begin in 2027, after his state sentence concludes.

Stroming had previously been convicted of rape in the second degree in 2011, and promoting an obscene sexual performance by a child in 1999. Stroming, a Level 3 sex offender with the highest risk of reoffending, was convicted in June 2011 and sentenced to 20 years in prison on child sex charges in Columbia County and an additional 14 years on charges in Dutchess County.

The U.S. Department of Justice is considering intervening in legal challenges to the Green Light law, according to documents filed by the U.S. Attorney of the Western District of New York last week. The department filed a motion to extend its deadline to decide whether to intervene in a lawsuit filed by Erie

County Clerk Michael Kearns over the summer challenging the law that would allow undocumented immigrants to apply for driver’s licenses. Under the new law, local departments of motor vehicles and county clerk offices are prohibited from sharing private information about those who apply for licenses with immigration enforcement agencies. Kearns’ suit argues that it is a felony to withhold

information about undocumented immigrants from those entities, according to Title 8, Section 1373 of the U.S. code. But in an amicus brief filed by the New York Civil Liberties Union in September, attorneys argued that Section 1373 violates the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees states’ authority over policy matters not delegated to the

federal government — and which the Supreme Court ruled on last year. “When the Federal Government attempts to force state and local jurisdictions to enact federal programs and policies, it impermissibly ‘commandeers’ those governments in violation of the Tenth Amendment,” according to the brief.

Police: Woman burglarized same home twice By Amanda Purcell Columbia-Greene Media

CLAVERACK — A Claverack woman is being held on $1,000 bail after she allegedly burglarized her neighbor’s home twice in one week, police said Monday. Selena McFadden, 22, of Claverack, was arrested at 4:35 p.m. Friday and charged with second-degree burglary, class C felony; third-degree grand larceny, class D felony; fourthdegree grand larceny, a class E felony, and fourth-degree criminal mischief and petty larceny, both class A misdemeanors, according to Columbia County Sheriff David

Bartlett. McFadden had not made bail as of 2 p.m. Monday. The first alleged incident occurred on Sept. 28. A Tishauser Road resident reported to police that someone had burglarized his home, and a “large amount” of money and a firearm were taken, according to the sheriff’s office. Five days later, at approximately 1:23 p.m., sheriff’s deputies were called to another home on Tishauser Road for a report of a woman attempting to enter an empty vehicle parked in the driveway. While investigating this report, sheriff’s deputies found

that the same home from Saturday was allegedly burglarized again. It was unclear what, if anything, Selena was taken in McFadden the second round of alleged burglaries. The sheriff’s office could not be immediately reached for comment Monday. The suspect fled on foot before police arrived and state police and members of the sheriff’s office attempted to locate her using K-9 and search

teams in and around the area. The search attempts were unsuccessful. Investigators got a break Friday morning when deputies Peter Merante and John Sullivan encountered McFadden on Tishauser Road. She was later interviewed at the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office by investigators and subsequently made admission as to her involvement in both burglaries. Investigators of the Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations team, with help from Columbia County District Attorney Paul Czajka, secured a search warrant for McFadden’s home

to find for evidence relevant to the burglaries. The Columbia-Greene Shared Services Response Team and members of the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office were able to recover some of the proceeds from the burglaries late Friday after they executed the warrant signed by Columbia County Judge Richard Koweek. Claverack Town Judge Michael Brandon issued bail. To reach reporter Amanda Purcell, call 518-828-1616 ext. 2500, or send an email to apurcell@ thedailymail.net, or tweet to @ amandajpurcell.

NEW YORK — President Donald Trump is not a king, and he must turn over this taxes, a federal judge ruled Monday, tossing out a suit Trump filed to block disclosure. Trump had sued New York District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. to stop him from carrying out subpoenas in his hush money investigation. The subpoenas demand Trump’s taxes from the accounting firm Mazars. The president had argued that while he’s in the Oval Office, he’s immune from any sort of criminal probe, echoing Justice Department policy that a sitting president cannot be indicted.

ministers to establish a citizens’ assembly to analyze climate change and draw up proposals that would feed into legislation. The movement has caught the imagination of a public, spreading beyond the traditional activist set as the science around climate change becomes more urgent and extreme weather events more common. “This is the only group that is really saying clearly that our house is on fire,” Chris Horwood, an international aid worker who traveled to the capital from the south west of England. “They’ve looked at the science, as everyone is looking at the science and scratching their heads, and yet this group is saying it is time to act now.” Extinction Rebellion will now set up camps at around a dozen sites in central London, each with their own

theme over the next fortnight. They’re holding events and rallies through the day and night. Officials for the group estimate that at least 30,000 people will take part in London across two weeks. The latest protest comes weeks after millions of people in 170 countries took to the streets to urge world leaders to take more decisive action on climate. Those protests coincided with a United Nations summit on the issue in September. “I hope that the politicians will stop talking about things other than the climate, will move out of their positions of total denial or couldn’t care less,” said Claire Sparrow, a 69-year-old grandmother from Nottingham, England. They should “introduce policies which will affect all of us in an acknowledgment of the crisis that we are in,instead of never even talking about it.”

Traffic in parts of central London ground to halt as hundreds of climate protesters began disruption set to last for two weeks in the U.K. capital. For the second time in six months, activists from the group Extinction Rebellion blocked streets and bridges around Westminster and the Houses of Parliament by locking themselves to vans and each other. The demonstrations that started Monday morning are in protest of what they see as slow government action to contain climate change. “We have got to a point where we actually have to do something,” Jackie Cooper, a 57-year-old former lawyer dressed as Bugs Bunny who had traveled from north west England. “It’s a catastrophe, and we are walking into it blindly.”

A large London police presence mingled with protesters as Christian groups sang hymns and groups of drummers played close to Downing Street. The Metropolitan Police Service said that as of 12:30 p.m. 135 people had been arrested. The action coincided with similar protests in cities from Auckland to Madrid and Tel Aviv. Those disrupted work at government buildings and financial companies. The groups are calling for immediate and drastic action to cut fossil fuel emissions and overhaul policies environmental policies to respond what they see as a “climate emergency.” Among a raft of demands, the movement wants politicians to aim for a net-zero emissions worldwide by 2025, a quarter of a century quicker than the U.K.’s current plans.

1 suspect in custody, another at large after mass shooting at Kansas City, Kansas, bar By Kaitlyn Schwers The Kansas City Star (TNS)

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — One man suspected in a shooting that killed four people and injured five others at a Kansas City, Kan., bar has been arrested while another suspect remains at large, police announced in a statement early Monday. Javier Alatorre, 23, and Hugo Villanueva-Morales, 29, have each been charged with four counts of first-degree murder in connection to the mass shooting that happened early Sunday at Tequila KC, a bar near 10th Street and Central Avenue, according to

Kansas City, Kansas, police. Hours after police released surveillance images of the suspected gunmen, police announced that one person had been taken into custody across the state line. Alatorre was taken into custody near the 2600 block of Quincy Street in Kansas City, Mo., late Sunday afternoon with help from the Kansas City Police Department, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, police said. The second suspect, Villanueva-Morales, is not in custody. Police warned he “should be considered armed

EMS to make radio switch By Sarah Trafton Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — First responders in Greene County are preparing to switch over to a more powerful communication system this week. Greene County lawmakers were updated on the new high-bandwidth radio system on Wednesday. The switch from low-band to high-band radios for first responders has been several years in the making, Greene County Emergency Services Deputy Director Randy Ormerod said Wednesday. Emergency medical services personnel and law enforcement made the switch to the new system Sept. 10 and on Oct. 9, fire departments will make the changeover. But a few of the fire departments have not purchased the high-band radios required for the new system, Ormerod said. Public Safety Chairman William Lawrence, R-Cairo, asked if Greene County EMS would continue running the low band and high band systems concurrently. “For awhile,” Ormerod said. “How long?” Lawrence asked. “A year?” Emergency Manager

Specialist Daniel King said the low band system would remain in effect for about 30 to 60 days. Departments received plenty of lead time to make the transition, Ormerod said. The cost of going highband varies by department size, King said Friday. “It’s about $200 to $500 per

radio,” he said. There are 27 fire departments in the county, King said. King said did not know which departments had not purchased their radios, he said. Ormerod could not be reached for comment Friday. In theory, departments

that do not have the proper equipment when the lowband system is shut off will not be able to communicate with the 911 center, King said. “But we’re not going to let that happen,” he said. “We will work with the towns and the fire districts to get the radios before we shut off the

4-H 90th anniversary celebration dinner Oct. 26 CLAVERACK — The public is invited to help celebrate 90 years of 4-H in Columbia and Greene counties by attending the 4-H 90th Anniversary Celebration dinner on Oct. 26 at the Churchtown Firehouse, 2219 County Route 27, Claverack. It begins with a social time at 5 p.m. followed with dinner at 6 p.m. and a program.

low-band.” Using low-band technology is problematic for a few reasons, King said. “It is outdated technology,” he said. “We get can’t get replacement radios.” The high-band radios work within more effective frequency ranges, King said. “The basic reason lowband is going away is because in that frequency range, there is a lot of radio interference.” Many electronic devices such as laptop charges, traffic lights, fluorescent lights fall within the same range as the low-band radios and cause problems, King said. The radio transition from low-band to high-band was part of a four-year communications overhaul at the dispatch center. The upgrade cost about $2 million, with the computeraided dispatch system at $1 million, the radio upgrade at $750,000, the phones at $500,000 and the voice recording system at $100,000. “We are light years ahead of where we were,” Ormerod said Wednesday. “There have been a lot of advancements in the last four years. It’s mind-blowing to me.”

OUR VIEW

Broadband gaps need to be filled soon Education, small business and health care are dramatically impaired by the lack of broadband access in rural communities. This was the core of testimony given at a congressional hearing Friday chaired by U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, D-19, who was joined by Commissioner Geoffrey Starks from the Federal Communications Commission, the agency responsible for broadband. The bad news is that health care providers, schools and businesses have been shouting loudly and clearly about the lack of broadband in Greene and Columbia counties for years but the talking still goes on. The good news is that Friday, at Columbia-Greene Community College, the right people were doing the talking and the listening. Testifying were business owners, educators and providers of health care and broadband. Delgado shared anecdotes about small businesses whose simple payment transactions consistently fail because their internet goes down 100 times a day and students who have to sit in McDonald’s parking lot to download and complete homework assignments. An obstacle to effectively access broadband has been problems with its mapping,

Starks said. According to the New York State Broadband Program Office, 98% of New Yorkers have access to broadband. But the number is an extreme overestimate because of mapping flaws. If one home within a census block has access to broadband services, the entire block is marked as served. Broadband providers at the hearing said they face extreme obstacles trying to build fiber optics in rural communities, predominantly because of population density. With access to technology, not only would teachers and administrators be better trained for jobs, but diversity and inclusion could be better incorporated in students’ educational experiences through distance learning with more diverse, urban school districts. Cliff Belden, Columbia Memorial Health’s chief medical officer, highlighted how much telemedicine can alleviate health care limitations in rural communities such as those in the Twin Counties. As concerns about the costs and benefits of digital technology grow, lack of connectivity is a daily reminder that wider access to broadband can do good. Local broadband dead spaces need to be filled, and soon.

ANOTHER VIEW

In 2015, international negotiators struck the Paris climate agreement. Nearly four years later, it remains the world’s most promising tool to get all the planet’s major carbon dioxide emitters working together to cut the heat-trapping gases they release into the atmosphere. But that does not mean it is working as well as expected - or as well as humanity needs it to. Last month underscored the extent to which world leaders are failing future generations. That starts with President Donald Trump, who recklessly denies that there is a problem. At a United Nations climate conference, delegates were surprised to see that Trump even showed up. They laughed when U.N. climate envoy Michael Bloomberg suggested that the president could use what he heard to develop a climate policy. Trump’s mindless intention to remove the United States from the Paris agreement next year, at the first possible opportunity, not only makes the United States the object of international contempt - it also deeply undercuts the accord’s effectiveness. At a conference such as this, delegates should have been able to pressure major powers to increase their emissions-cutting ambitions. Instead, China’s representative said his country would merely “fulfill its obligations,” noting that “certain countries” — that is, the United States — would not even meet the minimum commitments they made in Paris. Trump’s abdication of leadership enables others to shrug off further obligations and still appear to be more far

responsible. He is letting China off the hook just when the world’s largest emitter needs to feel more pressure. Because simply meeting initial Paris commitments would not be enough: The world would still be on track to warm by 2 degrees Celsius by 2100, which could be catastrophic for human society. To underscore just one category of risk, the United Nations also released a major report on how the world’s waters are changing. Higher temperatures melt land-based ice and expand the volume of ocean water. Rising greenhouse emissions could boost global sea levels by substantially more than three feet by 2100, an increase from the last U.N. estimate. Even under more favorable scenarios, by only 2050, major cities such as Los Angeles and Miami might face a “100-year” flood every year. If humanity fails to prevent the loss of major Antarctic and Greenland ice masses, future generations would see far worse. Higher seas are only one danger. Warmer waters wreak havoc on sea organisms forced to migrate away from major fisheries - and the fishermen who depend on the resource. More acidic water dissolves the world’s corals. Retreating glaciers disrupt freshwater availability. “Marine heat waves” kill off ocean life. For the moment, some of the most pronounced consequences have been concentrated in areas such as the Arctic. But it will be increasingly impossible for humans all over the planet to ignore the accelerating costs of uncontrolled climate change. No one will be laughing then.

Supreme Court to decide whether ‘sex’ includes sexual orientation WASHINGTON — The beginning of the Supreme Court’s term this week includes momentous oral arguments on Tuesday in two cases that illustrate clashing theories about how statutes should be construed. If properly decided, the cases will nudge Congress to act like a legislative body. At issue is whether workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation is forbidden by the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which proscribed discrimination because of a person’s “race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.” The question is whether “sex” also proscribes discrimination based on sexual orientation. Tuesday’s arguments will reprise those made in 2017 in another case. Then the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit held, in effect, that Congress can now be said to have proscribed such discrimination without intending to. Dissenting judges rejected this conclusion because it empowers courts to do what Congress clearly did not do but easily could do Kimberly Hively, a parttime adjunct professor at an Indiana community college, says she was repeatedly denied a full-time position, and then her part-time contract was not renewed, because she is a lesbian. The 7th Circuit majority said the question is “what it means to discriminate on the basis of sex” — are “actions taken on the basis of sexual orientation” a “subset of actions taken on the basis of sex”? Citing “the broader context of the statute,” the majority acknowledged but disregarded the fact that Congress has “frequently” considered adding, but has declined to add, “sexual orientation” to the act. The majority professed to have “no idea what inference to draw from congressional inaction.” Besides, “The goalposts have been moving over the years, as the Supreme Court has shed more light on” the phrase “sex discrimination.” So, the majority said, Congress in 1964 “may not have realized

WASHINGTON POST

GEORGE F.

WILL or understood the full scope of the words it chose.” Discrimination based on sexual orientation necessarily involves “taking the victim’s biological sex ... into account.” Hence “it would require considerable calisthenics to remove the ‘sex’ from ‘sexual orientation.’” “Times have changed,” said a judge concurring with the majority opinion. He continues: “[T]he meaning of the statute has changed and the word ‘sex’ in it now connotes both gender and sexual orientation.” The concurring judge said that “it is well-nigh certain” that homosexuality “did not figure in the minds of the legislators” in 1964. Then “homosexuality was almost invisible.” Since then, however, “nothing has changed more” than attitudes toward sex, which now “has a broader meaning than the genitalia you’re born with.” Therefore — non sequitur alert — the “passage of time and concomitant change in attitudes ... can justify a fresh interpretation” of the statute that is “ripe for reinterpretation.” Ripeness means, for the concurring judge, “taking advantage of what the last half century has taught” in order to correct “statutory obsolescence” and “to avoid placing the entire burden of updating old statutes on the legislative branch.” When and where, one wonders, were courts authorized to share the “burden” of legislating? “Our role,” said the minority, “is to give effect to the enacted text, interpreting the statutory language as a reasonable person would have understood it at the time of enactment. ... We lack the

discretion to ascribe to [the act] a meaning it did not bear at its inception.” The majority has engaged in “judicial statutory updating” that “cannot be reconciled with the constitutional design,” which requires bicameralism (both houses of Congress to enact or amend a law) and presentment (of laws and amendments to the president). The minority said that “sexual orientation” is not the same forbidden category of employment discrimination as sex is. This is an interpretation that “has been stable for many decades.” As proof that the terms “sex” and “sexual orientation” are not used interchangeably, the minority cited the Violence Against Women Act, which forbids discrimination on the basis of both “sex” and “sexual orientation,” and the Hate Crimes Act, which imposes heightened punishment for harms inflicted because of both “gender” or “sexual orientation.” The minority acknowledged, and clearly welcomed, the “striking cultural change” since 1964. It could have said 2004, when electorates in 11 states voted on referendums to amend their constitutions to define marriage as exclusively heterosexual. All 11 measures passed, all by double-digit margins. Just 15 years later, that controversy has cooled. The 7th Circuit’s minority said that if Hively was denied a job because of her sexual orientation, she was treated unjustly, but not illegally under the 1964 Civil Rights Act. It is depressing but clear that the Supreme Court needs to remind Congress — and the 7th Circuit — that “statutory updating” is Congress’ job. George Will’s email address is georgewill@washpost.com.

South Florida oil magnate tangled in Trump impeachment inquiry By Skyler Swisher Sun Sentinel (TNS)

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A South Florida oil magnate and former state GOP finance chairman was involved in Ukrainian business dealings under scrutiny because of the President Donald Trump impeachment inquiry, The Associated Press reported Sunday night. Harry Sargeant III, a Gulf Stream resident, is among a trio of Florida businessmen who touted connections to Trump and his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani while trying to install new management at the top of Ukraine’s massive state gas company, AP reported. The goal was to steer lucrative contracts to companies controlled by Trump allies, two people with knowledge of their plans told the AP. The business dealings came at the same time as Giuliani was pushing Ukrainian officials to investigate former vice president Joe Biden, Trump’s political rival and Democratic candidate for president, the AP reported. Sargeant is known in Florida political circles. The Tampa Bay Times reported in 2013 a plaque at the Pi Kappa Alpha

House at Florida State University called him “the most powerful man no one knows.” Sargeant, his wife and corporate entities tied to the family have donated at least $1.2 million to Republican campaigns and political action committees over the last 20 years, including $100,000 in June to the Trump Victory Fund, the AP reported, citing campaign finance records. A former fighter pilot in the U.S. Marine Corps, Sargeant was the finance chairman of the Florida Republican Party and a fraternity brother and close friend of former Gov. Charlie Crist. Sargeant, 61, owns a home valued at $10.6 million in Gulf Stream, according to Palm Beach County property records. Sargeant’s company, International Oil Trading Co., won $2.7 billion in contracts during the Iraq War to supply the military with fuel. A 2011 audit found Sargeant’s company overcharged the Pentagon by up to $204 million for fuel. In a 2008 letter, former Democratic U.S. Rep. Henry Waxman accused Sargeant’s company of engaging in a “reprehensible form of

war profiteering.” In May 2018, the U.S. government settled and agreed to pay $40 million to International Oil Trading Co. Sargeant called the settlement “a full vindication” in an interview with Reuters. Sargeant worked with Soviet-born Florida real estate entrepreneurs, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, on a plan to replace the Ukrainian state gas company’s CEO Andriy Kobolyev with another senior executive at the company, Andrew Favorov, according to two individuals who spoke to the AP as well as a memorandum about the meeting that was later submitted to the U.S. Embassy in Kiev. The Miami Herald reported that Parnas lives in Boca Raton, and Fruman owns property in Sunny Isles Beach. The AP has dubbed the duo Giuliani’s “Florida fixers.” Parnas and Fruman are recent GOP political donors, having contributed $325,000 to a Trump-allied political action committee. The AP reported this helped the relatively unknown entrepreneurs gain access to meetings with Trump at the White House and Mar-aLago. (c)2019 Sun Sentinel (Fort Lauder-

Seeking Ukraine Aid Records, House Subpoenas White House Budget Office and Pentagon Nicholas Fandos The New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The House on Monday subpoenaed the Defense Department and the Office of Management and Budget for documents about the Trump administration’s decision to withhold security aid for Ukraine, expanding the impeachment inquiry into how President Donald Trump sought to pressure the government there to dig up dirt on his political rivals. The subpoenas, issued by the Democrat-controlled House Intelligence Committee, gave the federal agencies until Oct. 15 to comply. The panel appears to be trying to unearth communications and other records that might shed light on one of the enduring mysteries of the United States’ interactions with Ukraine: why the

White House decided this summer to abruptly suspend the $391 million aid package, and whether it was connected to contemporaneous efforts by Trump and his personal lawyer to pressure the country to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and other Democrats. The White House has denied that the aid was being withheld to exert leverage over the Ukrainians, but at least one senior diplomat worried privately that that was precisely what was happening, and the administration has been unwilling to answer questions about the timeline and rationale for the decision. Regardless of the reasoning, the decision to withhold aid that was allocated by Congress on a bipartisan basis prompted confusion and concern within the State and

Defense departments, as well as among lawmakers in both parties. Democrats leading the impeachment inquiry in the House suspect the actions may be related. “The enclosed subpoena demands documents that are necessary for the committees to examine this sequence of these events and the reasons behind the White House’s decision to withhold critical military assistance to Ukraine that was appropriated by Congress to counter Russian aggression,” read the letters, signed by Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., chairman of the Intelligence Committee; Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., chairman of the Oversight and Reform Committee; and Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee.

The shocking source of your Greenport Historical Society meets Oct. 17 at cravings: Gut microbiota If you’re happy with your weight and are one of those crazy people that crave kale, then you can probably skip this column. But if you’re trying to lose weight and you’re craving chocolate, cheese, bacon or ice cream, then this article has your name on it. Cravings are thought to be a combination of social, cultural, psychological and physiological factors and are a major barrier to weight loss and optional health for many people. However, new research suggests your gut microbiota might also play a role in your cravings for certain types of food and the way you store fat, and what you eat can quickly change your microbes. There are more than 10,000 species of good and bad bacteria living in your gut. Bacteroidetes, prevotella and bifidobacteria are the good guys and their job is to break down food, keep your digestive system healthy, strengthen your immune system and weight regulation. Good bacteria thrive when fermented foods such as kimchi and pre-biotic foods like onions, garlic and asparagus are included in your diet. And bad bacteria such as streptococcus and firmicutes also have a job, which is to survive and flourish. And when

SCHOEPE they are in control of your gut, they alter the way you store fat and influence your cravings to suit their own needs. Bad bacteria know exactly what chemical signals to send to your brain that gives them the food they need for survival — sugar, dairy, processed foods, corn, soy and wheat. Fortunately, researchers are starting to understand the differences between the wrong mix and the right mix of gut bacteria. In a study of lean and obese twins, researchers discovered the lean twins have a very diverse and abundant community residing in their guts. The lean twins had a wider variety of bacteroidetes, a microbe that helps burn fat, while the obese twins had an abundance of the fat-storing bacteria firmicutes. And when firmicutes outnumber bacteroidetes, they can cause you to retain an extra 150 calories

a day or 5,000 calories a year! When it comes to losing weight, most people focus on eating less and moving more, which usually results in temporary weight loss. But according to Dr. Raphael Kellman M.D., and author of the book “The Microbiome Diet,” “If you get your microbiome healthy, you will lose weight. It’s all about correcting the overgrowth of unhealthy bacteria, which is making you crave the wrong foods and triggering inflammation.” And bad bacteria remember when you were fat, so they trigger cravings for the foods (sugar, corn, dairy) that ensure their survival. This explains why so many people lose weight only to gain it right back, because the bad bacteria are thriving in the gut. But supplementing your diet with a bio-available probiotic and avoiding processed, boxed, packaged junk will promote weight loss, support a healthy immune system and optimize digestion. In the end, just like you, your microbiome is unique; the key is to support it with foods and supplements that will encourage its survival.

community center GREENPORT — The Greenport Historical Society will meet at 7 p.m. Oct. 17 at the Greenport Community Center, Town Hall Drive, Greenport. Hudson Talbott, author and illustrator, will bring the story of the Hudson River at the hand of his book, “River of Dreams.” It’s a river Talbott has dreamed of since childhood, with nightly prayers that included his wish to visit New York City and the river that shared his name. It will be an evening where the River Runs Through It, from beginning to end, its Ice Age birth to its comeback from pollution. A combination of history and art, portraits of important individuals, all accompanied by Talbott’s watercolor illustrations. Hudson will also discuss his latest book, “Picturing America - Thomas Cole and the Birth of American Art.”

Hudson Talbott

Talbott is a trustee of the Thomas Cole National Historic Site and played a key role in the development of the Hudson River Skywalk, the walkway that now connects the Thomas Cole House to Frederic Church’s Olana, in Greenport. Talbott’s books have been made into films and

musicals, and have won several awards, including a Newbury Honor. Born in Kentucky, he began his career in New York as a freelance designer/illustrator commissioned by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Metropolitan Opera, Bloomingdale’s, and the Museum of Modern Art. His book, “We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story,” was produced as a feature-length animated film by Steven Spielberg. Talbott also collaborated with the composer Stephen Sondheim on a book adaptation of the composer’s musical “Into the Woods.” Two other books, “River of Dreams” and “O’Sullivan Stew,” have been adapted and produced for the stage as children’s musicals.

Town of Kinderhook Republican Committee endorses candidates

Second grader Daniel won first place for his artwork at the Columbia County Fair. Last year, Mr. DelPozzo’s art class created pieces based on the Lascaux Cave Paintings in France, which were discovered in 1940 and are considered to be some of the oldest forms of art ever discovered. The 600 paintings are estimated to be more than 20,000 years old. First graders at Germantown Elementary studied images and watched a video of the caves to prepare them for making their own version of a cave drawing. After drawing and coloring the brown paper bag with crayon, they crumpled up the art and dunked it in the sink to “age” it. The result, a piece of artwork that looks at least a few thousand years old! Along with a big first place ribbon, Daniel won $50. Daniel and art teacher Mr. DelPozzo pose for a photo with Daniel’s award-winning artwork.

Günter Kunert, searingly satirical German author, dies at 90 Melissa Eddy The New York Times News Service

Günter Kunert, a German writer who rose to prominence in the 1960s with satirical and increasingly critical works about the repressive communist government in East Germany, which eventually led him to flee to the West, died on Sept. 21 at his home in the village of Kaiserborstel, in northern Germany. He was 90. His family said the cause was complications of pneumonia. Kunert had settled in Kaiserborstel in 1979, drawn by the peace and privacy he had craved during his final years in East Germany. His searingly satirical voice was rooted in the deprivations he suffered as a half-Jewish child under the Nazis and came into its own under the repressions of Erich Honecker’s East Germany in the 1970s. “I write to bear the world as it steadily crumbles into nothingness,” he was quoted as saying in the 1979 anthology “The Poet’s Work.” Considered one of modern Germany’s most profound and prolific writers, he examined the complexities and contradictions of his country’s post-World War II history through his two novels and his many poems,

short stories and essays. After his emigration, and even after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, he continued to highlight the differences between the two countries that had opposed each other during the Cold War. “In many of his works, he was a politically conscious and observant person, but he also reflected a lot on life,” Jo Lendle, his publisher at Carl Hanser Verlag, told the radio network Deutschlandfunk. “He was not only a poet, he was a storyteller and a visual artist. But I believe for him that poetry was the most important, it was the ground on which he stood.” (In addition to writing, Kunert painted and drew throughout his life, in a style he described as “comical realism.”) Born in Berlin on March 6, 1929, to a Jewish mother and a Roman Catholic father, he survived the war but lost many relatives on his mother’s side to the Holocaust. He told the German daily Die Welt in 2007 that people in his family were never practicing Jews, but added: “The connection to Judaism still remains. The dead are always with me.” As a so-called mixed-race child, he was forbidden to attend a college preparatory school, but he took up the study of graphic design after the war.

He quit university to devote himself to writing in 1947, after the publication of his first poem, “A Train Rolls Past.” Like many young intellectuals in the early years of East Germany, he was an anti-fascist committed to the ideals of building an egalitarian society; he joined the Communist Party in 1949. His writing caught the attention of Bertolt Brecht and the author and politician Johannes R. Becher, who became mentors and helped promote his works. In 1962 he won the Heinrich Mann Prize for essay writing, the first of more than a dozen awards he collected throughout his lifetime, which also included honorary doctorates from Allegheny College and Dickinson College in Pennsylvania. The East German government allowed him to serve as a guest professor at the University of Texas in 1972 and at the University of Warwick in England in 1975. But as the government became more restrictive, his works became more critical. In 1976, he was among the first artists to sign a petition protesting the East German authorities’ decision to revoke the citizenship of

the singer and songwriter Wolf Biermann, a friend of his, who had criticized what he saw as the distortion of socialism by Soviet-style bureaucracy. Although Kunert and a dozen of the other most prominent signatories feared they would be prevented from publishing, their only formal punishment was to have their membership in the Communist Party revoked. But they suffered indirectly under repressive tactics that included shadowing by the secret police and smear campaigns. In an open letter published in 1977 in the West German weekly Die Zeit, Kunert wrote that the East German government was deliberately driving critical artists into emigration. “According to the American principle of love it or leave it, the removal of critical artists is seen as a painful amputation of a diseased member of society,” he wrote. Two years later he fled to the West, where he continued to write, supporting his art with commissions for radio plays and television scripts. A self-declared “cheerful melancholic,” he focused his criticism on capitalism and raised awareness about the environment, long before fears of

climate change became widespread. Kunert is survived by his wife, Erika Hinckel, and a stepdaughter, Lore Reimann. His first wife, Marianne, died in 2013. His first novel, “Im Namen der Hüte” (“In the Name of the Hats”), was published in West Germany in 1967. His second, “Die Zweite Frau” (“The Second Wife”), a biting satire of life in East Germany dedicated to Hinckel, was written in 1975 but not published until this February. He knew when he wrote it that the cultural authorities would never allow him to publish it; it languished in an unopened moving box for years before he rediscovered it. The novel paints an unvarnished picture of life in the former communist country under the watchful eye of the dreaded state police, the Stasi, which he described as “all-knowing and at the same time thick as two planks.” A final book of his previously unpublished essays from the same era, as well as more recent prose works, is to be published early next year under the title “Nachgetragene Wahrheit,” or “Accomplished Truth.”

Maryland lawmaker charged with federal wire fraud Ovetta Wiggins and Erin Cox The Washington Post

ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Longtime Maryland delegate Tawanna Gaines, a Democrat from Prince George’s County who has served in House leadership, was charged with federal wire fraud on Monday, accused of using $22,000 of campaign funds for personal expenses. Gaines, 67, abruptly resigned from the legislature on Friday. According to court documents, she is accused of defrauding her campaign account, “Friends of Tawanna P. Gaines,” by soliciting donations that were directed to a PayPal account which was not disclosed in state campaign finance filings. The documents say the charge involves a “wire communication sent out of Maryland regarding a $125 cash withdrawal from the FTPG Pay Pal account.” If convicted, Gaines faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison. Prosecutors said she is expected to appear Oct. 17 in U.S. District Court for Maryland in Greenbelt. Through her lawyer, she declined an interview request. “As elected officials, we have an obligation to uphold the public trust, both in office and in our campaigns,” House Speaker Adrienne Jones, D-Baltimore County, said in a statement Monday morning announcing Gaines’s resignation. “We cannot sacrifice that trust for personal gain for ourselves or our family members.” Gaines, who has served in the General Assembly since December 2001, is at least the fifth Democratic politician from Maryland to face criminal charges related to financial misconduct in the past two years. In 2018, former delegates Michael Vaughn and William A. Campos, also from Prince George’s, were sentenced to 4 and 4 1/2 years

Andrew Cuomo in June, has been targeted by two federal lawsuits from county clerks in upstate New York, with other county clerks vowing to not issue licenses to undocumented immigrants come December, when the law goes into effect. Republican state senators have proposed legislation to protect Department of Motor Vehicles employees from termination if they decide not to follow the new law. The Rensselaer County Board of Elections threatened to send all voter registration data to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The New York State Association of County Clerks penned a letter

to Schroeder in August detailing a list of questions and concerns about how the law can be most effectively and safely rolled out in December. And the New York Republican Congressional delegation asked the U.S. Department of Justice last month to evaluate the constitutionality of Green Light NY. Even proponents for Green Light have raised concerns about the implementation of the law to Mark Schroeder, the commissioner for the state DMV, who has remained silent on the issue. “There are definitely challenges both theoretically and legally,” Bryan MacCormack,

mayor. Gaines built a reputation as a hardworking and thoughtful legislator during her 18 years in the legislature. When Jones became speaker earlier this year, after a bitter intraparty battle, she put Gaines in charge of negotiating how to spend the state’s $2 billion capital budget. The announcement of her resignation Monday stunned colleagues, who said Gaines loved being in state government. “I was shocked, to put it mildly,” said Sen. Pinsky, D-Prince George’s, who represents the same district. When he learned the resignation

executive director of the Columbia County Sanctuary Movement and an organizer in the Green Light NY Coalition, told Johnson Newspapers last month. “But in our organization, we don’t have any doubt that the law is going to be upheld.” New York Attorney General Letitia James has vowed to aggressively defend the law, which she has described as a safety matter. Green Light would bring more insured drivers and New York state-inspected vehicles on the roads, plus result in fewer hit-andrun crashes. An estimated 265,000

was tied to potential campaign finance impropriety, Pinsky added, “I was even more taken aback. She has probably been one of the least prolific fundraisers.” But Gaines repeatedly flouted campaign finance rules over more than a decade. Regulators have cited her 13 times since 2006 and fined her more than $2,000 for book-keeping errors in her campaign finance reports, records show. The infractions include failing to file, filing late or not responding to audits. In 2016, she was referred to the Office of the State Prosecutor, the state agency that oversees corruption. In the legislature, Gaines was praised as a strong advocate for investing in transportation and in Prince George’s County. She served as Deputy Majority Whip from 2003 to 2007, as vice chair of the Prince George’s County House delegation from 2007 to 2008 and as Assistant Majority Leader in 2015. Gaines began her political career as a member of the Berwyn Heights town council in the late 1990s. She was the first African American elected to the council, and in 2000 became the first woman to serve as mayor. After being appointed to a vacant House seat in 2001, Gaines was elected to a full fouryear term in 2002. In 2009, she received a distinguished legislator award from the Maryland Municipal League. In 2015, she was given the Casper Taylor Jr. Founder’s Award, which honors a delegate who serves with integrity and a focus on public service. “On Friday, I accepted the resignation of Delegate Tawanna P. Gaines,” Jones said in her statement. “... I wish Delegate Gaines the best during this challenging time.” This is a developing story. It will continue to be updated as new information is available. The Washington Post’s Lynh Bui contributed to this report.

undocumented immigrants, including 64,000 in the Hudson Valley and Northern and Western New York, are expected to seek driver’s licenses within the first three years of Green Light, according to the left-leaning Fiscal Policy Institute. The law is expected to generate $83 million in revenue the first year, and $57 million each year after that. New York is one of 13 states to adopt legislation that allows undocumented immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses. State Sen. Luis Sepulveda, D-32, who sponsored Green Light and calls it a model bill, has said he’s not concerned

about opposition to the law. Rather, he claims that the soundness of the bill is what concerns the GOP, and suspects that other states will follow suit with legislations similar to Green Light. “Come March, people are going to be talking about the success of the law,” he told Johnson Newspapers last month.

Offender From A1

State police in Livingston arrested Stroming on Aug. 5, 2010, for offenses that authorities said occurred at a Greenport motel. The charges included second-degree rape and second-degree criminal sex act, both class D felonies, with an additional charge of endangering the welfare of a child, a class A misdemeanor. Stroming was accused of having sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old on two

occasions. On another occasion, he is said to have had oral sex with the same teen. The teen from Dutchess County was not a relative of Stroming’s, police said in 2010. Stroming’s documented history of sexual offenses began in 1999 when he was convicted of possessing obscene images of a person under the age of 16 performing sexual acts, a class E felony. He spent six years in prison and was released in 2005. Stroming also served time on a burglary conviction and two arson convictions. Stroming was a truck driver who traveled up and down the East

Coast, police said in 2010. The conviction this May was announced by Jaquith; James N. Hendricks, Special Agent in Charge of the Albany Field Office of the FBI; and New York State Police Superintendent Keith M. Corlett. The case was investigated by the FBI and the New York State Police, and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Katherine Kopita and Shira C. Hoffman.

CHATHAM — For three quarters of Friday’s game against Whitehall, the Chatham offense managed just six points. But with the outcome of the game hanging in the balance the Panthers erupted for 22 points over the final eight minutes to defeat the Railroaders, 28-14, in a key Class D matchup before a large crowd on Homecoming Night. Chatham (3-0, 4-1) and Warrensburg (4-0, 4-1) are the only remaining unbeaten teams in Class D play and the two team will square off on Friday at 7 p.m. in Warrensburg with the winner all but wrapping up the top seed in the upcoming Section II playoffs. Chatham scored the only points of the first half with just 1:16 to go before halftime when Quinten Kastner took a handoff and raced five yards for a touchdown one play after the Panthers recovered a Whitehall fumble. The score remained 6-0 until a five-yard run by Brendan Covey and point after kick by Kolby Baldwin put Whitehall up, 7-6, with 3:36 remaining in the third quarter. The floodgates opened up in the fourth quarter, starting with Chatham scoring on quarterback Casey Sitzer’s one-yard plunge with 8:39 remaining in the game.

Cougars spoil Titans’ Homecoming Columbia-Greene Media

CRARYVILLE — Canajoharie/Fort Plain rode a balanced attack to pile up 460 yards of total offense in dealing Taconic Hills a 54-7 defeat on Friday night in front of a large Titan Homecoming crowd. The diverse Cougar attack generated 244 yards on the

ground, utilizing sweeps and misdirection plays to pick up huge chunks of turf at a time against a defense that has been hobbled by injuries up front. With Cougar QB Derek Hyney running amok See COUGARS B4

Giants’ Jones experiences first taste of growing pains as rookie QB Bob Glauber Newsday

He has already experienced plenty in his early days as the Giants’ starting quarterback. There was his spectacular debut in a comeback win in Tampa, where he produced four total touchdowns, including the game-winning TD run late in the fourth quarter. There was an efficient, albeit unremarkable performance in an easy win over Washington last week, one that reinvigorated a team that suddenly found itself filled with hope. And now this: a day of missed opportunities, of relentless pressure from the opposing defense, no individual heroics and some rookie mistakes in a 28-10 loss to the Vikings at MetLife Stadium. Welcome to the roller coaster that is the NFL, Daniel Jones. The Giants’ rookie passer had a mostly inauspicious game Sunday against a clearly superior Vikings’ defense, and the early litmus test showed there is plenty of room for improvement moving forward. He wasn’t horrendous, mind you. He simply didn’t do enough to overcome the loss of running backs Saquon Barkley, who missed a second game with a high ankle sprain, and Wayne Gallman, who went out of Sunday’s game with a first-half concussion. He didn’t get it done in the red zone, a particular source of consternation in his self-evaluation. And he couldn’t find enough completions to make up for his own team’s injury-depleted defense. You will therefore not be surprised to know

that Jones was critical of his own play. After all, he dwelled more on his mistakes in the backto-back wins over Tampa and Washington, so

the blame was even more pronounced after he went 21-for-38 for 181 yards, one touchdown pass and an interception.

“Just not good enough,” Jones said. “I thought the plan was good going in. I thought we created a lot of opportunities for ourselves to make plays, and we didn’t make them. You’re not going to win if you can’t convert those opportunities. I’ve got to be better.” Jones was off just enough to miss some big plays that might have at least made it more competitive, even if it was unrealistic to expect him to overcome the Giants’ defensive woes. Jones missed a big throw down the right side to Sterling Shepard on his first drive. He threw too high to Shepard in the back of the end zone in the third quarter. He missed nearly half his attempted passes to tight end Evan Engram. “When you play a good defense like Minnesota, you need to convert those,” he said. “I’ve got to be better in those situations, and we’ve got to take advantage of those. You can’t afford to miss those against a team like that.” But it wasn’t all bad for Jones. He did throw a nice 35-yard touchdown pass to rookie Darius Slayton to make it 10-7 in the second quarter. Despite weathering a sustained pass rush that resulted in four sacks, Jones did not fumble. And while he only put up 10 points, he did earn the respect of his opponents. “I want to give a shoutout to the rook,” Vikings defensive end Everson Griffin said. “He’s doing really good. He’s shown courage. He’s a good player, so I see good things happening for him in the future.” There are growing pains for any rookie See GIANTS B4

Larson ends 75-race winless drought with Dover victory Field Level Media

BRAD PENNER/USA TODAY

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (40) throws a ball in the outfield during a workout day before game 1 of the ALDS at Yankees Stadium.

After three starts, Yankees’ Luis Severino says, ‘I Am My Best’ Bob Klapisch The New York Times News Service

The New York Yankees have been too smart and too respectful of the Minnesota Twins to state the obvious about their American League division series: So far, it has just been calisthenics for the showdown everyone has been waiting for since opening day. But in a quiet moment in September, it was Aaron Judge who captured the mood in the clubhouse when he said, “Facing the Astros would be the World Series.” He meant no insult to the other postseason qualifiers, but the sentiment was clear. Come October, there’s the Yankees and the Houston Astros, and then there’s everyone else. With Luis Severino on the mound in Game 3 against the Twins on Monday night, and a chance to complete a sweep in the best-of-five-game series, the Yankees are just nine innings away from a more dangerous opponent and a fundamental clash of tactics: It would be the Astros’ elite pitching against the Yankees’ run-scoring machine. Nothing so far has changed that calculus. Both A.L. superpowers are flattening their respective opponents, playing to their strengths in the process. The Astros’ Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole have combined to shut out the Tampa Bay Rays over 14 2/3 innings, allowing just five hits while striking out 23. The Yankees, meanwhile, have scored 18 runs against the Twins, including a sevenrun outburst Saturday night that left no mistake about who has been the dominant club. The Yankees have beaten Minnesota in 12 consecutive games, the longest streak by any team against another in postseason history. Right-hander Jake Odorizzi, who will start for the Twins in Game 3, ruefully said, “We have to change the narrative.” But he knows the Yankees will have maximum leverage in what could be the clinching game at Target Field. When Judge says, “We’re clicking on all cylinders,” he isn’t just talking about the offense. He is also referring to the refurbished Severino, who insists his shoulder is fully healed after spending nearly the entire season on the injured list. Severino has made only three appearances in 2019 totaling 12 innings, so there is little data to evaluate. The Yankees will have to trust his four-seam fastball, slider and changeup, all of which he says are back to playoff caliber. “I think I am my best,” Severino told reporters Sunday. “I had three outings before this,

so that’s regular what I do in spring training before I head into the season. So I think that’s good enough to be at my best.” Manager Aaron Boone is likely to ask Severino for no more than five innings, given his limited workload. But even that will not be a problem for the Yankees, who will have their entire bullpen available after Sunday’s day off. Unlike the Twins’ relievers, who have failed to perform in Games 1 and 2, the Yankees’ bullpen has been airtight, allowing two runs over 9 2/3 innings. The question, of course, is whether the Twins have been demoralized by their dismal performances in the Bronx and whether playing at home for Games 3 and 4, if necessary, will be enough of a boost to force a fifth game in New York. For their part, the Yankees are still saying all the right things about Minnesota’s lineup, which mashed 306 home runs this season, only one fewer than the Yankees themselves. “They’re dangerous, there’s no question about that,” Judge said. “That’s why it was so important to jump on them the way we did. We know they’re going to come out banging, they’re going to come after us, so we have to stick to what we’re doing.” Having witnessed up close the damage the Yankees inflicted on his rotation mates, Odorizzi acknowledged the danger up and down the batting order: Even slumping shortstop Didi Gregorius, who batted .183 from Aug. 16 until the end of the regular season, found a second life, hitting a grand slam in Saturday’s statement third-inning rally. “They have nine, 10, 11 guys over there that are very similar to us,” Odorizzi said, referring to the Yankees. “You want your guys to get hot at the right time, but you can’t let a lineup get too comfortable and dictate the at-bat.” Despite proving they can overwhelm the Twins in a high-scoring game, the Yankees would nevertheless prefer a gem from Severino — if for no other reason than because of who is likely waiting for them in the AL Championship Series. No Yankee would realistically expect to crush Verlander and Cole or Zack Greinke, the Astros’ other elite starter. That’s why all eyes will be on Severino in Game 3: to see if he has what it will take in the virtual World Series ahead. “Every pitch matters,” Severino said. “Everything matters now.” The Yankees could not agree more.

Mired in a two-plus-year winless streak, Kyle Larson has had to dig and claw his way through the last three Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs. But on Sunday, the Chip Ganassi Racing driver earned himself a chance to breathe easy for a week or two as he collected a huge victory at Dover International Speedway. “It’s been a long time since we won a point-paying race,” Larson said. “We won the All-Star race this year which is great, but we wanted to win a points race and we did when it mattered.” With the victory, Larson earned automatic entry in the third round of the Playoffs, which begin in three weeks at Martinsville Speedway. He will start next week’s race at the home of the “Big Wreck” sans pressure. “It’s really critical,” Larson said of the victory at Dover. “Everybody in this playoff field is going to be stressed next week at Talladega except me. So that’s good. Last time at Talladega, I was on my lid (roof). I could still end up on my lid next week, but it’s not going to matter.” Larson took the lead for the first time at “The Monster Mile” during pit stops between the second and third stages of the Drydene 400, led 154 laps and went on to get the victory. It was his sixth Cup Series victory and the first following a 75-race winless drought. Larson’s last victory before Sunday came in Richmond, Va., in the 26th race of the 2017 season. Since then, he has finished second nine times. He had twice finished as runner-up at Dover

NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Larson drinks from the bottle of champaign in victory lane after

before getting his first win there on Sunday. “I always have wanted to win a Cup race here. I’ve been close a number of times. To get a golden Monster (the trophy for winning at Dover and gold this year because Sunday’s was the 50th Cup race) is going to be pretty sweet. “My first playoff win is special. I hope there is another one in our future. Especially in the next round.” Martin Truex Jr. of Joe Gibbs Racing – a six-time winner in 2019 – finished second, 1.5 seconds behind Larson. Truex lost his chance for victory when he got caught up in late-race traffic. “It was about everything,” he said of getting caught behind slower cars. “The whole

third stage we were behind. We were catching him at the end; we got close. Cool to come home second as hard as it was to pass today. “Would have been nice to get the win and have that free pass but second’s the next best.” Hendrick Motorsports’ Alex Bowman finished third while Kevin Harvick of Stewart-Haas Racing and Denny Hamlin of JGR rounded out the top five. Kyle Busch was sixth, giving Playoffs contenders the first six places. Team Penske’s Joey Logano – a Playoffs driver who arrived at Dover fourth in points – found himself in big trouble before the first stage went green. A problem with the drive train during pace laps sent him to the garages.

He returned to the track but only after 24 laps had been run. Chase Elliott, who won a week ago in the final race of the Round of 16 at the Charlotte “roval,” also got in early trouble as he blew the engine of his Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet on Lap 8. “It quit running,” said fanfavorite Elliott. “It didn’t really seem like anything was off. We were just kind of making laps and then obviously had a failure. It’s an unfortunate way to start this round for sure.” Ryan Blaney of Team Penske was yet another Playoffs driver to succumb to mechanical problems as he suffered a brake failure that sent him to the garages with just over 100 laps to go and while running near the front.

evening the score at 14-14. Chatham’s quick-strike offense got the lead back 1:34 later when Sitzer tossed a pretty 26-yard TD pass to Williams in the corner of the end zone, then completed a two-point conversion pass to Kastner to make it 22-14 with 6:12 left. Chatham quickly got the ball back and added the game-clinching score with 412 left on a five-yard run by Sitzer. Chatham coach Rich Sitzer was proud of the fight his team showed when it fell behind late in the third quarter “That’s a tough football team right there,” Sitzer said of Whitehall. “They came out with some formations in the third quarter that we had a little trouble adjusting to, but once we made those adjustments we were able to

The Clippers return to CHVL play Tuesday with a home match against New Lebanon who the Clippers defeated 4-2 on the road last month to take sole possession of first place. Despite their first place standing in CHVL play, Germantown remains behind New Lebanon in the New York State Sports Writers Association’s state rankings for Class D schools. New Lebanon is ranked ninth while Germantown cracked the rankings this week for the first time in program history with an Honorable Mention nod. “New Lebanon’s program is more established with state pollsters than we are — we’re only in our third year,” said the Germantown coach. “But we’re proud of where we are right now, and just need to focus on one game at a time. And New Lebanon is the next game on the schedule.”

slow them down. “That fullback (Brendan Covey) was a tough kid and he was tough to tackle and we were tackling way too high. Once we got to a point that they were putting the ball in the air we knew we were in good shape. ” Sitzer felt Whitehall’s taking the lead late in the third quarter served as a wake-up call for his team. “Sometimes you need a punch in the mouth to get your butt moving and I think that’s what happened,” Sitzer said. “We had our backs against the wall and I’m proud of the way our guys responded and proud of the way the coaches made adjustments to what they were doing.” Casey Sitzer had perhaps his best game of the season, rising to the occasion when his team needed him most. Sitzer completed 5 of 9 passes for 83 yards and a touchdown and was the team’s leading rusher with 90 yards and two TDs on 15 carries.

Sitzer also picked off a pass on defense that led to a Chatham touchdown. “This was probably his best game to date and he’s just getting better,” Coach Sitzer said. “Every game he plays he’s getting more experience and I’m proud of the way he played and proud of the way he led the team today.” Kastner had 47 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries and caught two passes for 37 yards. Spencer Ford had 34 yards on five carries. Williams had two catches for 31 yards and a TD and Mateo Talbott had one catch for 15 yards. Defensively, Justin Geerholt had solo tackles and five assists. Van Tassel had one solo and six assists; Sean King one solo, five assists and one pass deflection; Kyle Nehmans three solos, three assists and one pass deflection; Mateo Talbott four solos, two assists, one interception and one pass deflection; Spencer Ford two solo, two

Chatham, the No. 8 ranked Class D team in the state, takes a two-game winning streak into Friday’s showdown with Warrensburg and Sitzer is pleased with how the team has been playing. “We had that loss in Lake George that was really a tough one, but the guys didn’t put their heads down, we got back to work the following Monday and we were able to come out and beat a good Canajoharie team, so we just have to keep getting better if we want to win games. We got Warrensburg next, and that’s the team we have to beat so that is our focus starting now.”

The 2019 Chatham Homecoming King and Queen were crowned on Friday. Chris Hanson was crowned King and Naveah Daigle was crowned Queen.

Thursday night and on the road in Foxborough against a quarterback he grew up admiring. Jones remains unbowed and is unafraid to go up against Tom Brady. In fact, he rather likes the idea of playing again so soon after defeat. “We’re looking forward to the quick turnaround, the fact that we get to play four days

from now, so I think we’re excited,” he said. “It gives us a chance to get back out there and correct some of the things we need to correct.” Of Brady, Jones said he “watched everyone growing up and enjoyed everyone, but he’s been one of the best guys for a long time.” The same fate may await Jones that it does for just

about everyone who ventures into the home of the longestlasting dynasty in NFL history. Brady figures to pick apart a defense that is severely undermanned at linebacker, and Jones will be going against a defense that may be Bill Belichick’s best in all his years in New England. But Jones doesn’t shrink from the challenge. Instead,

he welcomes the opportunity. “It’s going to be a different week in terms of how we practice and prepare,” he said, “but I’m confident we’ll be able to do it. It’s about making sure we’re efficient and prepared to play.” There was little margin for error against the Vikings, and even less so against the Patriots. As Jones now knows

scrambling in the backfield to buy time and find open receivers, the visitors struck early and often, picking up big gains after catches and breaking tackle after tackle. They iced their cake by running in two point conversions following six of their seven touchdowns. “It’s going to be tough from here on,” said Titan coach Mark Anderson. “I started with six linemen and now I’m down to four. We needed to sub kids into places they’d never played before, and it showed.” The visitors took the opening kickoff down the field quickly, working an efficient six-play drive that was capped off by a 14 yard sweep by Mekhi Lanier, sprinting untouched around the left side to paydirt. The Titans responded quickly with a 52-yard bomb, as seniors Markus Rosien and Zach Colwell hooked up on their first play from scrimmage. Two plays later, Rosien found senior back Aidan Flaum on a 13 yards swing pass to put Taconic Hills on the board. “We knew they had us on film starting with short passes, so we changed it up early,” Anderson said. “There was nobody within 30 yards of Colwell.” It was all Cougars after that, displaying a stifling defense that sacked Titan QB

Rosien four times and hit and hurried him repeatedly as the night wore on. Combined with a rushing defense that limited the Titans to -1 yard for the evening, Canajoharie-Fort Plain was able to hold the hosts to only 120 yards of total offense as their own offense had their way with the Titan defenders. “We had some open receivers, but we just didn’t have time to get the ball to them,” lamented Anderson. Rosien showed remarkable toughness coming back from several punishing hits as he released the ball, but the swarming Cougar pass defense allowed very little after the first Titan drive. Taconic Hill falls to 2-2 on the season, while Canajoharie-Fort Plain improves to 2-3.

Clanton finished with 104 yards on 18 carries. “It was a hard fought game by both teams,” Hudson coach John Davi said. “The defense really stepped up this week. We had a couple of key red zone stops. Our guys continue to improve every week.” Hudson (2-3) returns home to play Ichabod Crane on Friday night at 7. Schalmont 55, Ichabod Crane 8 ROTTERDAM — Ben Burchhardt and Trent Randle combined for five touchdowns to lead Schalmont to a 55-8 victory over Ichabod Crane in Friday’s Class B Reinfurt Division game. Burchardt rushed for 91 yards and three scores on 14 carries, while Randle returned a kick 70 yards for a score and caught a 40-yard TD pass from Jake Sanford. Austin Walsh threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Haydon Broockmann and Gabe Michalko ran for two points for Ichabod Crane. Walsh completed 10 of 23 passes for 110 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. Broockmann had three receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown and Michalko had three receptions for 24 yards. Jason Craig led the Riders on the ground with 15 yards on two carries. Nick Trossbach had 12 carries for nine yards. Ichabod Crane (1-4) travels to Hudson on Friday at 7 p.m.

Carson Wentz must play smarter for the Eagles Marcus Hayes The Philadelphia Inquirer

PHILADELPHIA — What makes you crazy with him is what makes him special. Twice on Sunday, Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz refused to surrender under pressure; twice, might have broken a leg, or worse. Also twice on Sunday, Wentz refused to surrender under pressure; and twice, he made the plays of the game. “That fighter mentality — ‘I’m not going to go down and I’m going to make a play’ — is something that I am always trying to juggle and balance,” Wentz admitted. This juggler needs better balance. With 44 seconds to play in the first quarter, the Jets’ Darryl Roberts sped into the backfield on a delayed cornerback blitz from the left end. Wentz faked a handoff, so his back was to Roberts, and when he turned Roberts was there, and he was unavoidable. Wentz should have thrown the ball away immediately. When Roberts wrapped himself around Wentz’s legs, Wentz should have simply fallen and taken the 5-yard sack. Instead, Wentz twisted his body against the torque of the tackle and threw the ball away — weakly, and foolishly; it might have been an interception. Yes, Wentz saved 5 yards, but Wentz might have lost his season. Besides, the situation didn’t call for heroics. The Eagles held a 14-0 lead, had the ball at the Jets’ 41, and faced second-and-10. Third-and-15 against the NFL’s worst team wouldn’t have been so bad. Instead, their $128 million quarterback spent the next 15 seconds walking off what might have been a shredded left knee — the same knee he shredded in 2017. It got worse. Early in the second quarter, same score,

HEATHER KHALIFA/THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

Carson Wentz looks to pass off the ball in the first half of a game against the New York Jets at Lincoln Financial Field in South Philadelphia on Sunday.

Wentz held the ball for 6 full seconds and gazed longingly downfield as the pocket collapsed in front of him. Three seconds into the play, untouched, Wentz had running back Jordan Howard open in the flat, completely undefended, with 10 yards of space in front of him. Wentz never looked at Howard. Instead, defensive tackle Steve McLendon drove himself into Wentz’s chest. This time Wentz’s right leg got caught under his body. McLendon’s full 310 pounds landed on Wentz — who, you might recall, missed the end of the 2018 season with a fractured vertebrae.

Wentz popped up, uninjured — and maybe wiser? “My body is fine. I feel good coming out of it,” he said, and, for once, offered a concession: “Yeah, it’s hard to say if those are times I’m (unwisely) fighting to get rid of the ball, to throw it away.” “We have to understand with the quarterback position, too, that it’s OK to either check it down or throw it away from time to time,” Doug Pederson said. But then Wentz does the other things. The magical things.

Early in the third quarter Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams blew past Jason Kelce and had a free shot at Wentz. He swiped at him with a huge right arm. Wentz ducked. Williams whiffed and flew past, like a cartoon character. Wentz then straightened and ripped a 21-yard third-down conversion to Zach Ertz. It will be a signature play in his career. That play didn’t lead to points. A similar play, at the end of the second quarter, did. The Jets called a “zero” blitz: They sent six pass rushers and left every remaining defender in man-to-man coverage, with no help. Wentz and Ertz recognized it, so Ertz, knowing Wentz wouldn’t have much time, cut off his pattern. Wentz didn’t flinch: He stood tall, snapped off a pass, and hit Ertz for the 11-yard touchdown that made it 21-0 at halftime. “We repped that play, like, 1,000 times in practice,” said Ertz. “What the guy does at the quarterback position — I’m glad he’s our quarterback.” Ertz knew that play looked good, but he didn’t get a chance to watch Wentz’s thirdquarter Houdini escape until after the game. Ertz was amazed. Again. “He makes some plays where you just shake your head, like, ‘How did you possibly even do that?’ “ Ertz said. “It truly was phenomenal.” This Man Got Revenge On His Cheating Ex Girlfriend, But He Patiently Waited 2 Years ... The goal, of course, is for Wentz to keep being phenomenal. That means taking a sack, or hitting the shorter route, or aborting a play sooner than later. If he doesn’t, sooner or later, he’s going to get hurt again.

McCaffrey is carrying the Panthers, and may be the NFL MVP Brendan Marks The Charlotte Observer

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Ho hum, 237 total yards and three touchdowns. Nothing to see here, folks. Nothing except one of the best individual performances in Carolina Panthers team history. And with the way Christian McCaffrey played Sunday in Carolina’s 34-27 win over Jacksonville — on a day when the franchise honored four new inductees to the Hall of Honor — it was an easy mental exercise to picture the running back one day donning his own blue blazer in a similar ceremony. It’s not as if these sorts of performances are rare of McCaffrey. He entered Sunday’s game leading the NFL in rushing yards, scrimmage yards, touches, percentage of snaps played ... basically everything you could ask of one player. Some of that usage is a byproduct of the team’s quarterback situation. With Kyle Allen starting his third consecutive game in place of the injured Cam Newton, who is out indefinitely with a Lisfranc injury in his left foot, the team has leaned on the running game more than it typically would. But McCaffrey has made outbursts like this the standard rather than the exception. For him to induce any type of how-did-he do-that? play, with expectations already as lofty as they are, takes some darn special stuff. Or in other words, what happened Sunday. “We came into the game thinking that we wanted to stop Christian McCaffrey and control him,” Jacksonville coach Doug Marrone said. “Obviously he had a really good day, and that hurt us.” The dynamic effort began on the team’s first drive, when deep in the red zone, offensive coordinator Norv Turner called McCaffrey’s number. McCaffrey caught the ball short right, seemingly headed out of bounds as a defender neared — until at the last second, he juked and stayed inbounds. Then, after the defender went skating by like the turf had turned to ice, McCaffrey kept churning and picked up a first down. The next play, he stiff-armed a defender to get around the right edge of the pile. Then, he flew. McCaffrey tried hurdling a defender, but was hit in midair and started to flip. “I’m not thinking anything,” McCaffrey said of when he was airborne.

DAVID T. FOSTER III/CHARLOTTE OBSERVER

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (22) finds running room against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C.

“It’s kind of just a split second. Kind of hope you get in the end zone, try to land graciously.” He didn’t, landing squarely on his back and splaying out in the end zone. But a touchdown is a touchdown, and that one gave the Panthers an early lead. Later in the first quarter, after Eric Reid recovered a fumble that gave the ball to the Panthers (3-2) in Jacksonville territory, Turner went back to McCaffrey. He ran a short route to the middle of the zone, drawing linebacker Myles Jack in the process — and then doubled back inside to break free. Allen hit him in stride, making it an easy feat for McCaffrey to outrun Jack to the goal line. “It was just set up perfectly how we wanted to do it,” Allen said. “They left Myles Jack one-on-one with Christian. It’s a tough matchup for anybody, not only Myles Jack, even if there was a safety in there.” The only issue with McCaffrey going off like he did? He was doing it out of necessity. The rest of the Panthers offense wasn’t exactly functioning all cylinders, nor has it been the past two

weeks. Greg Olsen finished without a reception for the first time since 2017, and Allen’s accuracy issues were a constant throughout. Only one player besides McCaffrey finished with over 20 yards receiving (DJ Moore had 91). So late in the game, the Panthers had to go back to what they know best. It was at that point that McCaffrey truly dropped jaws. On Carolina’s first offensive play of the second half, the team faked a reverse to Curtis Samuel and instead handed off to McCaffrey. Nobody got a hand on him. The fake to Samuel drew defenders away from McCaffrey, who hit a wide open hole and ran 84 yards to the end zone. It was the longest run in team history, outdoing De’Angelo Williams’ 77-yard run in 2009. McCaffrey also had a similar 76-yard touchdown against Arizona, making him the first player in the NFL this year with multiple runs over 75 yards. “Got the ball to the left, hit the hole, and ... “ McCaffrey said, pausing and flashing a wide smile. “Ran from there.

“At that point I’m just thinking footrace, and do what I can to run as fast as I can.” Perhaps the only thing he didn’t succeed in was playing quarterback. Turner called a running back pass for him in the fourth quarter, but when he didn’t see an open man after rolling right, he opted to just throw the ball into the ground. He also failed to pick up a critical fourth-and-1 the following play — dropped for a twoyard loss — leaving Carolina emptyhanded after an 89-yard drive. Eventually as the game wore on, things turned south for McCaffrey. After constantly churning out yards — oftentimes Carolina’s only source of offense — McCaffrey came out late in the fourth quarter with what appeared to be cramps. After he spoke with trainers, McCaffrey never went back in the game. His backup, Reggie Bonnafon, instead broke a 59-yard run that practically sealed the game at 34-27 — or at least it would have been more likely to had kicker Joey Slye not missed the point-after attempt. McCaffrey confirmed he was dealing with cramps after the game,

although as he said, Bonnafon clearly proved himself a capable fill-in. Still, after tying his career-high in yards, McCaffrey was the reason the Panthers were ever in this game against a scrappy Jacksonville team. For all the stats and accolades piling up, perhaps two are most telling as to the true impact McCaffrey has had five games into the 2019 season: First, McCaffrey is the first player since Hall of Famer Jim Brown to have at least 175 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in four of the first five games of a season. And secondly, McCaffrey is currently on pace for 2,771 scrimmage yards the season — the NFL record is 2,509, set by Chris Johnson in 2009. So not only is the 23-year-old having a great season in the context of this Panthers offense, but he’s tracking towards a historically relevant season. “He is amazing,” Jacksonville running back Leonard Fournette said of McCaffrey, who was taken four spots behind him in the 2017 NFL Draft. “Can’t expect any more from him.” The question is, can the Panthers? During this three-game winning streak, McCaffrey has proven himself as invaluable as any player in the league. But as his cramps late on Sunday show, there are potential consequences tied to that intense usage. Still, even with Bonnafon’s long run, this team needs McCaffrey to perform at this level to stay in games. He may see a play or two off here and there, but there’s a reason the man is on the field as much as he is. Because more than a quarter of the way into the 2019 season, McCaffrey has been as impressive as any other player in the league. Defensive tackle Gerald McCoy said as much when he said McCaffrey is the Most Valuable Player in the NFL so far. Of course, McCaffrey would never say that about himself — no matter how high his current trajectory. “I think I’m playing well,” McCaffrey said. “I think there’s a couple of things here and there that I’ve gotta get better at, but at the end of the day, it’s a team game. Team win, team losses. My job is to do my job, and it doesn’t happen if the guys up front don’t block, if Kyle’s not making the right calls. “There’s a lot of good statistical games and there’s a lot of bad statistical games, and at the end of the day, we just gotta focus on doing our job and executing.”

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Widowed mom begins affair with married brother-in-law Dear Abby, My father died three years ago. My parents were both close to his younger brother and his wife. For the past two years, I have suspected that my mother and my uncle have been having an affair. They live in different states and text back and forth. She has left DEAR ABBY her phone open when she has gone places with us, and the comments back and forth are very sexually oriented. I became suspicious when my uncle came to visit and they took a trip together and ended up staying overnight somewhere. A couple of months later, my aunt and uncle came to visit, and Mom asked me NOT to say anything about the trip they had taken in front of his wife. Then Mom started locking her phone, and if she wants to show you something, she holds onto her phone for dear life. She asked me to look on her phone for something recently while she was driving us someplace and she was so worried about her phone, I was afraid she was going to cause an accident because she was trying to watch what I was doing. The last time my aunt and uncle were here, Mom tried everything she could to get my uncle alone. I tried as hard as I could to not let that happen. I feel my aunt needs to know what is going on. I’m not sure how to approach this or if I should leave it alone. It really bothers me they think this is OK. My father had an affair once, so Mom should know how this would hurt. What should I do? Witness In Wisconsin

husband, “Clyde,” for 14 years, and we have a 12-year-old son. Clyde is the nicest man I have ever met, nice to a point that drives me insane. He invites complete strangers over to our house and acts like it’s normal. Last week, he brought a homeless 20-something-yearold woman with him when he came home from work. Without my consent, he let her stay over for FOUR DAYS, until I forced her to leave. I couldn’t stand having to cook for and house a woman whose name I didn’t even know! After she left, Clyde got mad and said my actions were “rude” and “disrespectful.” I think it is unsafe for strangers to be allowed in our home, especially with our son around. Abby, I don’t know what to do. If I can’t find a way to stop my husband’s recklessness, I may have to end our marriage. Please help. Overwhelmed In Pennsylvania

What you should do is take a giant step back. Do not involve yourself in this potential mess and do not be the bearer of bad tidings to your aunt. If you are going to talk to anyone, talk to your mother.

To My Readers: Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, begins at sundown. During this 24-hour period, Jewish people fast, engage in reflection and prayer, and formally repent for any sin that might have been committed during the previous Hebrew year. To all of you who observe — may your fast be an easy, but meaningful, one.

Dear Abby, I have been happily married to my

In most marriages, spouses have enough consideration for each other that they ask first before inviting someone — particularly someone their spouse doesn’t know — into their home. Your “nice” husband seems to have forgotten this. Your concerns are valid. Because you can’t seem to get through to him that what he is doing is risky, insist on some sessions with a licensed marriage and family therapist. Perhaps that person can get through to him. He may think what he’s doing is admirable, but there are other ways to help homeless individuals.

Knowing when to go to the emergency room can be tricky I recently had an episode of food poisoning with vomiting and diarrhea. It lasted four hours. I live alone. I’m 84, and in good health except for chronic atrial fibrillation and wellcontrolled high blood pressure. My question is, When does it become serious enough to call a doctor, and how do I determine if it is one of the serious strains TO YOUR that results in hospitalization? GOOD HEALTH I don’t want to go to the emergency room unnecessarily.

DR. KEITH ROACH

Foodborne illness — that is, disease passed by contaminated food or water — is something that most people will suffer one or more times in their life. Bacteria, viruses and parasites all may be the source of foodborne illness. These germs may cause symptoms due to a toxin they make or they may invade the system. In general, toxinmediated illness comes on faster and tends not to have fever. Invasive organisms usually take at least 24-48 hours to start causing symptoms, may cause fever or bleeding and tend to last longer. However, both kinds can be serious. Although most cases of “food poisoning” will go away by themselves, there are some worrisome symptoms and signs that should raise concern and should make it more important for you to seek urgent care. For most people, the biggest risk is losing too

much fluid. This is called volume depletion or dehydration. Diarrhea can cause an enormous fluid loss that a person might not recognize. When combined with vomiting, the risk becomes seri- Hagar the Horrible ous, especially since the person cannot replace those lost fluids. Fever also causes increased fluid loss, and a temperature over 38 C/100.4 F should prompt concern. Finally, blood in the diarrhea or vomit should prompt a visit to your doctor, urgent care center or emergency room. Being older is a significant risk — as is being very young; infants and toddlers are at increased risk — so keep that in mind when deciding whether to seek medical attention. Atrial fibrillation causes at least modest but sometimes significant reduc- Zits tion in your body’s ability to withstand volume depletion. Because of your age and atrial fibrillation (an abnormal heart rhythm), you should adhere to a much lower threshold for calling your doctor than a younger person with no chronic conditions. Hospitalization is not commonly necessary with foodborne illness. Intravenous fluids work wonders at making people feel better until they are able to keep fluids down orally. These often are given in a doctor’s office, acute care centers or ERs. Baby Blues

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you treat everyone around with fairness and civility, but you don’t really connect with everyone on an intimate level. You save your true care and loyalty for a very few people — some of whom you have no doubt known since childhood. You can at times be frustratingly aloof, and you are never one to wear your heart on your sleeve. You must always do your best to avoid illness; once sick, it is very easy for you to become more sick — even, perhaps, dangerously so. With proper diet, plenty of rest and the avoidance of that which you know to be bad for you — including overwork — you can enjoy longterm good health. Also born on this date are: Bella Thorne, actress; Bruno Mars, singer; Matt Damon, actor; Chevy Chase, actor and comic; R.L. Stine, author; Sigourney Weaver, actress; Jesse Jackson, civil rights leader; Stephanie Zimbalist, actress. 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 9 LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You’re going to want to make it easier for people to get in touch with you — today and in the days to come. You’ll need more than tech help. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You can do more than you are required to do, but is that really going to hold you in good stead? Right now, you must stick to the game plan. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You overlook a certain personal issue at your peril. You may

wonder how you can make time for it, but that’ll happen as a matter of course. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You may be offered a “job” of sorts that is at first tempting — but when you discover what is required, you’ll know it’s not for you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Cooperation is essential today, and yet it may not be easy to come by. Many are wanting to go solo today — including yourself. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You are eager to work with a certain someone who has challenged you in ways no one else has. It’s possible, but will require negotiation. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You mustn’t let anyone restrict your freedom in any way today. This may require you to take a rather unorthodox stance, but so be it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You are facing one or two tasks that you are not eager to do — but getting them done now will free you up to do other things later. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You are perhaps better equipped than anyone else to deal with a certain problem that has surfaced on the home front. Talk about it! CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Once you know where the problem lies, you can deal with it directly — but getting to the heart of the matter will take time today, surely. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You are likely to be recognized for something you did almost by accident — but it’s sure to win you a good deal of valuable attention. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You or a friend may be guilty of doing what should not have been done. If you’re the responsible party, you can reverse the error. If not, troubles lie ahead.
