HUDSON — A police reform resolution was offered to the Legal Committee on Wednesday by the Hudson-Catskill Housing Coalition, a new group called Citizens of Hudson and 2nd Ward Alderwoman Tiffany Garriga. The proposal, called the Hudson Breathe Act, was conceived by the Hudson-Catskill Housing Coalition and Citizens of Hudson, and was presented by Garriga. Citizens of Hudson was formed in the past few months to address budget transparency

The residents of Hudson have elected a city council and mayor that is diverse and progressive for this very reason that we should lead our county, state and country in the adoption of best practices,” Garriga said. The proposal calls for amendments to the city charter for a residency requirement in Hudson for the city’s police officers, reduction in the number of police officers and a ban on no-knock warrants, called Breonna’s Law, in reference to the See PLAN A2

County airport gets $2M for improvements By Natasha Vaughn Columbia-Greene Media

The Columbia County airport received three federal grants through the Airport Improvement Program.

GHENT — The Columbia County Airport received nearly $2.1 million in federal grants for three projects. The Federal Aviation Administration will cover 100% of the projects’ costs this year, unlike the usual way they are funded — 90% through federal funding, 5% from state funds and 5% from county funding set up for Airport Improvement Program grants. The total amount of the FAA grant is $2,062.815. An additional 10% funding this year comes from the COVID stimulus package passed by Congress in April, Columbia County Director of Engineering Dean Knox said.

“The FAA will cover 100% of all eligible costs for each project,” Knox said. “That’s due to the COVID pandemic. The additional 10% came from the first COVID stimulus passed in April by Congress.” Two of the three projects are sizable, Knox added. “It was excellent that we got offered all three awards,” Knox said. “Two of them are large construction projects, so that’s icing on the cake.” The first project is construction on the north apron of the airport. The apron is an area of the airport in front of the hangars where planes are parked and where they travel through to get to the taxiway and other See AIRPORT A2

shooting of Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky. The proposal also calls for city resolutions that would redirect funds from the police department, including at least $490,000 to the Hudson Community Development and Planning Agency to provide at least six subsidized housing units, at least $242,552 to the Hudson Youth Department, at least $145,000 to services for assisting formerly incarcerated individuals with re-entry and employment services, such as ReEntry Columbia, at least $100,000 to the development of a citizen’s response team and at least $100,000 to the creation of a non-emergency phone service. The proposal also calls for resolutions that would provide a body camera review protocol, restriction of specific force mechanisms, quarterly community meetings and data reporting. Attorney Jeff Baker said he received the document the day of the meeting and will need more time to research and review the policies. “As it’s written, or laid out, it’s not in the form of a local law. It has to be significantly reorganized,” he said. There will be a follow-up meeting to continue to discuss the proposal 6 p.m. Oct. 1. At the meeting, 4th Ward Alderman John Rosenthal inquired about overlap between the Hudson Breathe Act and plans from the mayor’s police reform committee. Mayor

Kamal Johnson did not know about the Hudson Breathe Act prior to Wednesday’s meeting, he said. The group’s proposal came as a surprise to 5th Ward Alderman Dominic Merante. He is concerned that the group’s initiative could put the mayor’s Police Reconciliation and Advisory Commission in jeopardy by negotiating the same topics. “I think it’s a disservice to the mayor’s reconciliation committee,” he said. Elizabeth Dickey, a member of the mayor’s police reform committee, said the budgetary efforts of the proposed bill do not feel, to her, duplicative of the efforts of the committee. She noted that the committee’s recommendations for the mayor will not be ready until mid-November. “At this point, the committee is really focused on listening to the community and that’s going to be a huge part of the report that we put forward,” she said. First Ward Alderwoman Jane Trombley said she does not think the Hudson Breathe Act and PARC are in conflict. “I think it’s interested parties wanting the best for Hudson,” she said. “They’re very much aligned.” Logistics of the proposed bill concern Merante. “There is a lot of things in there that I’m sure need to be looking into about what would stick,” Merante said. He pointed to the $100,000 proposed budget for a citizens’ committee. “I want details. Who’s involved? What is the chain of command? What are the

salaries?” Merante said. There is nothing in the proposal that includes the fire department or ADA — Americans with Disabilities Act — concerns, he said. “Financially, every department is going to take a hit in our budget, so for us to commit to this is not realistic,” he said. Merante said he has received phone calls from concerned constituents and doesn’t want to override the work of the mayor’s police reform commission. “I don’t want that energy to fade because of this premature resolution or local law,” he said. “Introducing legislation based on our research seemed the most natural and effective next step, especially given what’s just happened with Breonna Taylor’s case in Louisville and will inevitably continue to happen around the country,” Hoffman said. “We have to look deep and hard at policing in Hudson, and radically rethink what it means to invest in safety in our communities. The Hudson Breathe Act is severely overdue — we need action now.” Claire Cousin, president of the Hudson-Catskill Housing Coalition, spoke about the importance of the proposal at the meeting. “We live in a time where accountability is priority. Any public official is subject to public criticism and feedback and should be open to it. Our nation is in crisis. People of color and other marginalized communities are under attack from a racist system. The people are tired of mourning the loss of Black people at the hands of police. We are tired of teaching our babies of having to avoid conflict with officers, even if they haven’t

committed a crime,” she said. Hudson can serve as a model for the rest of the country, Hudson said. “Changing the biases that cause many of these interactions will only come from a solution that’s deeper than training. It comes from a willingness to rehabilitate and repair the community that our officers swore to serve and protect. The Hudson Police Department has the potential to lead the nation because we’re small enough of a city to implement big changes and see real change,” she said. She said the decision made just that day when the police officers who fired their weapons at Breonna Taylor were not charged with her murder is another example of the need for police reform. “And finally, I’d like to magnify the importance of this proposal as I condemn the findings in the pursuit of justice on behalf of Breonna Taylor. An innocent victim of police force. She was not the intended target but will now forever stand as a symbol for the need of systemic change and accountability. She could have been my sister. She could have been me. She could have been either one of my daughters. My work is not done until Black people are safe and free. I will fight tooth and nail in life and after death for my people. We keep us safe,” she said. First Ward Alderwoman Rebecca Wolff encouraged citizens to write e-mails to the Common Council. “It’s wonderful when we are voting on something to actually show your support by writing a letter to the Common Council,” she said.

Yorker... this is a massive undertaking.” The governor cast doubt Trump and federal officials will produce a safe and effective vaccine because of their response to the COVID-19 pandemic. For several months, Cuomo has railed against the president for lacking an adequate national testing and contact-tracing plan, or testing supplies and personal protective equipment this past spring. “Like everything else in this country, it’s partisan and there’s controversy about it,” the governor said. “We’re not sure what its [the vaccine’s] role is going to be. I don’t think the federal government understands what its role is going to be.” Cuomo cited a recent survey in which 54% of Americans said they would not take a COVID-19 vaccine before Election Day. “The people of this country don’t trust this federal government with this vaccine process,” Cuomo said. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert, addressed Thursday what he called “the elephant in the room” — whether the public should be concerned about a coronavirus vaccine being rushed before it is deemed safe and effective. The vaccine company gets the data and presents it to the FDA’s “career scientists,” who then decide if they agree with the findings, Fauci said. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration will consult with another advisory committee, and if they all agree,

the data are made public to the larger scientific community at universities and other federal agencies. In November or December — although “conceivably in October” — the FDA will have decided if the vaccine is safe and by the end of this year and early 2021, 700 doses of the vaccine will be produced, Fauci said. Knowing the vaccine reluctance that exists in the country, Fauci said reaching 75% to 80% of the population “would be a really good accomplishment.” He can see that process playing out throughout the second and third quarters of 2021, and likely into the fourth quarter of the year. President Donald Trump has said a safe and effective vaccine against the coronavirus could be ready as early as next month, contradicting the director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Robert Redfield, who, like Fauci, says distribution would not likely begin until November or December. The state will prioritize administering a safe, effective vaccine based on clinical guidance. “Who gets the vaccine first is based on medical standards — not anything else,” Cuomo said. The governor hopes New York will have the strongest vaccination program in the U.S. and be a model for other states, he said. “We should be the model vaccination program in the country,” Cuomo added. “It’s a tremendous advantage for any state to be the first COVIDfree state. You feel now the

advantages New York has for having a lower infection rate. What if you were the first state to vaccinate your entire population? “Those are the goals. We’re going to start, and we’re going to start now.” The state reported 955 new coronavirus infections Thursday, or 1.02% of 92,953 COVID-19 tests conducted Wednesday. Members of the state’s coronavirus task force and regional control boards continue to monitor new COVID-19 cases in Western New York and New York City after several virus clusters and hot spots appeared in those regions. Cuomo said 500 virus patients remain in state hospitals — an increase of about 10 from last weekend and earlier this week. Two New Yorkers died from the coronavirus in hospitals Wednesday, down from five Tuesday. “You remember when those death numbers were literally in the hundreds for days,” the governor said. “Facts are still facts, even in this crazy time of hyperpartisanship rhetoric. What New Yorkers did is extraordinary and they saved thousands of lives. That is inarguable, we just have to keep it that way.” The governor encouraged all New Yorkers to get the annual influenza vaccine as flu season emerges, and threatens to complicate COVID-19 testing and results. Tribune News Service contributed to this report.

The third project is for airport pavement management. Field surveys, data collection and ratings of all existing pavement areas of the airport have been completed. Passero Associates of Albany is expected to complete the project by the end of the year. The pavement management project report will include information about all of the airport’s paved areas and their condition, as well as information about proposed preventive tasks and major capital pavement work. The project was awarded a grant for about $64,000. “It gives us a good idea about what we should be doing with our various pieces of pavement out there cyclically every two or three years,” Knox said. “It goes on to tell you exactly what you should be doing at certain points in time to the pavement so you do the right treatment at the right time.” The Airport Improvement

Program awards grants for the planning and development of public-use airports that are included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems. In all, $1.2 billion of grants were awarded to airports this year. “This $1.2 billion federal investment will improve our nation’s airport infrastructure, enhance safety, and strengthen growth in local communities, which is especially important as the economy recovers from COVID-19,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine L. Chao said, according to the FAA website. The Columbia County Airport is one of 15 in New York state to receive improvement

grants this year. In 2019 the airport received a $405,000 Airport Improvement Program grant for apron improvements.

to make sure we know it’s safe to take. Frankly, I’m not going to trust the federal government’s opinion and I wouldn’t recommend New Yorkers trust the federal government’s opinion. “We have the best hospitals and research facilities on the globe in this state. We will put together a group for them to review the vaccine so I can look at the camera and can say to New Yorkers, ‘It’s safe to take.’” If task-force members decide the COVID-19 vaccination is safe and effective, the group will devise a distribution and implementation plan, including training and procuring sufficient dosages of the vaccine. “We’re going to have to buy it, and it’s going to be expensive,” Cuomo said. “Who do we buy it from? I want to make sure we don’t go through the same mess we did with COVID on PPE (personal protective equipment) procurement ... it winds up driving up the price.” The vaccine requires two doses per person — or roughly 40 million inoculations for 19.5 million New Yorkers. It must be stored at -80° Celsius, or -112° Fahrenheit. “Implementation is a massive undertaking,” Cuomo said. “You think what we’ve done thus far has been massive, administering a vaccine to every New

areas. The construction and paving project is expected to begin in October and should be completed by either November or early next spring, depending on the weather. A contract for the project was awarded to A. Colarusso & Son, Inc., of Hudson, last May. The project grant is for slightly more than $998,000. The second grant-funded project includes construction and installation beacons and premier fencing around the airport. The contract for this project was awarded to G.B. Hastie Fence Co., Inc., of Agawam, Massachusetts. Construction on the project is expected to start in November and be completed in 2021. The project was awarded a grant for about $858,000.

OUR VIEW

Inmates, officers must be kept safe The coronavirus infiltrated every aspect of American society where people gather in constricted spaces. And that includes county jails and state prisons. Because of this human density, state officials must find a safe and just way to reduce the number of incarcerated New Yorkers. Concerns are mounting about a potential second wave of COVID-19 in state prisons topped up by the start of flu season. Legislators in the Senate Crime Victims, Crime and Correction Committee held a public hearing Tuesday to discuss the impact of COVID-19 on prisons and jails, including inmates released early due to the pandemic and how agencies plan to keep

infection numbers low. The numbers give state lawmakers reason to worry. More than 11,000 New Yorkers are jailed and 37,000 people are being held in state prisons, according to nysenate. gov. The state reported 773 confirmed cases of inmates infected with COVID-19. But corrections employees share the same enclosed spaces in prisons and jails with the inmates they supervise. More than 1,300 corrections employees have contracted the virus or yielded positive tests, according to the state Department of Community and Correctional Services. Social distancing as we practice it outside prisons is almost impossible.

Inmates frequently remain only 2 or 3 feet apart when crowded in prison hallways, common areas or bathrooms, former inmates testified at Tuesday’s hearing. Social distancing is impossible in prison yards, corridors and cell blocks. Space is tightly concentrated, increasing the likelihood of a rampant outbreak and more deaths. At a time when America is marking the grim milestone of 200,000 deaths caused by COVID-19, state officials need to conceive a just and secure plan to ensure that prison inmates and corrections employees do not add to this once-unimaginable death toll.

ANOTHER VIEW

Breonna Taylor’s loss and legacy The Washington Post

Six months after Breonna Taylor’s death, one of the officers involved will face criminal charges. The city of Louisville also will pay $12 million to Taylor’s family and implement police reforms to settle a wrongful-death lawsuit that was brought after the 26-year-old emergency room technician was killed in her own home by police. The pending institutional changes in the police department are encouraging, and it is noteworthy for a settlement like this to include institutional reforms. Still, no sum of money, criminal charges or set of reforms can change the fact that Taylor should be alive today. Taylor was killed in her home by police March 13 during a botched drug raid. Officers had obtained a “no-knock” search warrant, which allows police to enter a home unannounced. Although officers said they announced themselves before entering, Taylor’s boyfriend, who was spending the night, said he heard only the commotion of the officers breaking down the door. Fearing an armed invader, he fired a single shot from the firearm he was

licensed to carry. Officers returned fire, pumping more than 20 shots into the apartment and into a neighboring apartment where a pregnant woman and a 5-year-old slept. Five bullets struck Taylor, who bled to death. No drugs were recovered from her home. After this horrific killing spawned local outrage and garnered national attention, Louisville voted to ban no-knock warrants. Many jurisdictions around the country have followed suit, putting an end to the use of the controversial practice by enacting what is sometimes called Breonna’s Law. In Louisville, advocates say they are still frustrated by what they see as insufficient change. The police chief was fired in June over a separate incident, and many say they are frustrated that only one of the officers who fired shots will face criminal charges. The settlement with Taylor’s family includes police department reforms closely related to the tragic circumstances surrounding Taylor’s death, as well as measures to improve the Louisville police department more broadly.

The department will also implement a system to identify officers who repeatedly violate standards, a system that might have flagged one of the officers involved in Taylor’s killing. The police department also will encourage officers to live in the community and take part in community service. These are welcome measures that may do much good, particularly if they are accompanied by robust accountability efforts that ensure the reforms aren’t walked back after the national gaze turns elsewhere. Still, there is so much a settlement like this cannot do: It cannot change the fact that Black women too often have lethal brushes with the law, simply because of the company they have once kept; it cannot change the fact that too many cases are ignored, as Taylor’s case could easily have been without the tireless efforts of advocates; and it cannot bring her back.

We aren’t just mourning RBG. We’re mourning a fantasy. Molly Roberts The Washington Post

When we mourn Ruth Bader Ginsburg, we aren’t always mourning Ruth Bader Ginsburg. News of the 87-year-old justice’s passing last week came as a shock as much for what it meant as for who was lost. The country’s progressive set is grieving not so much the passing of a person but the passing of an idealized version of this nation. It is not unusual for octogenarians to die, no matter how tough they are. It is unusual, however, for a single octogenarian’s death to determine whether undocumented immigrants brought here as children may remain here, or whether women may terminate their pregnancies, or whether transgender people may work where they please without fear of being fired. With Ginsburg gone, any hope of salvaging a jurisprudential future from the high court that protects minority rights and the rule of law almost disappears for a generation. More important, so does any hope of a future in which the Supreme Court is even viewed as an instrument of pure jurisprudence, rather than one of ideology. Perhaps Ginsburg chose not to retire during Barack Obama’s presidency because she loved her job, or because as a woman in a profession stuffed with men she had worked so hard to get her job, or because she believed she could do her job better than anyone else. But she also said, as her ninth decade dawned and the Obama era dimmed, that justices shouldn’t contort their retirements to sync

was ever going to protect our politics from the corruption of dark money; no stunning and spiky jabot could serve as recompense for the refusal to entertain Garland’s nomination, or for the installation in his place of a man credibly accused of assault. If only Ginsburg could have hung on, progressives could have kept telling themselves that everything would turn out OK in the end - because the play-dirty Republican project to take over might have faltered. Now that McConnell looks likely to have managed in the space of four years to pack the court without the bother of adding seats to the bench, liberals will either have to admit that they got burned or burn something down themselves. No institutionalist wants to see an end to the filibuster; no norm-loving legislator wants to pack a court when, for all their lives, nine has been the magic number; no establishmentarian wants to bid goodbye to the electoral college, much less hello to a unicameral legislature with only proportional representation. Yet what else are we supposed to do besides bow to permanent minority rule? We may have wished that the rules, written and unwritten, that have greased our governance would survive today’s trials - just as we wished that Ginsburg would go on doing push-ups with her personal trainer as long as we needed her to. As it turns out, our national bargain based on goodwill and fair play was exactly as endangered as a tiny woman of advanced age and brittle bones who “weighed 85 pounds soaking wet.”

A voting booth question To the editor: To queasy Trump 2016 voters who have stuck with him, despite your uneasiness about his character, his assaults on democratic norms, his flimflamery on the coronavirus, for one reason — the Supreme Court: you swallowed his bullhorn racist pronouncements, his deliberate incitements to violence by his followers, his crippling of ties with longstanding allies. But you got Gorsuch. You relegated to the mental back pages all of the stories about payments to a porn star, allegations of rape, regular insults of women about their

looks, especially women of color. Because you got Kavanaugh. You’ve looked the other way as the billionaire, supposedly elected for his success running businesses, has rotating “acting” leaders in the highest levels of government, those replacing disgraced grifters, incompetents, and former lobbyists hired to tear down departments and agencies they lead. And now you’ve won the race to Ruth Ginsburg’s grave. You scramble to justify another cynical Republican power play, but you’re going to get the decisive majority you’ve craved.

You’ve won. Locked into place dominance that will probably outlive you. And now? With victory, will you keep the pedal to the floor? Breyer is pretty old. You might be able to knock off another one. How much is enough? Might you, finally, want to clear from your craw the years-long, rumbling, acidic disturbances; the colliding contradictions of principles and desire that have sometimes left you spinning, out of balance?

up with Oval Office occupancy. She would stay as long as she physically and mentally could. “There will be a president after this one, and I’m hopeful that that president will be a fine president.” Unfortunately not. Ginsburg’s institutionalist argument for staying aimed to protect the high court’s reputation as hovering somewhere above the partisan fray. The problem with such thinking is that the court is no longer solely in charge of its reputation, which took a dagger to the heart when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., refused to grant Merrick Garland so much as a hearing eight months before an election, and met its demise when Brett Kavanaugh snagged his post even after ranting and raving before Congress about a left-wing conspiracy. All the while, Democrats fiddled and fussed about, saying that surely at least the best members of the Grand Old Party would honor the very principle they’d established should a seat become vacant ahead of the 2020 election. Surely? They also said that the only thing to do in the face of such perfidy was to vote, vote, vote - even though this president lost the popular count in 2016, and even though the Senate is set up such that Democrats need a national landslide to win it. The much-memed Notorious RBG was the great dissenter, a position that depends on saying an awful lot while accomplishing only a little. Her most withering salvos drew plenty of triumphantly toned Twitter time. But no number of bon mots

Pay cuts become permanent for many during pandemic By Jordan Yadoo Bloomberg News

Pay cuts introduced by U.S. employers in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic — meant to stave off layoffs and retain key employees — have proved less temporary than perhaps originally envisioned. The majority of workers who took a reduction as the virus brought the economy to a halt are still earning less than they were prior to the outbreak, according to a Pew Research Center study released Thursday, a sign of fragility in the labor market as the recovery slowly takes shape. The extent of outright job losses brought on by efforts to contain the virus has been welldocumented: Half of adults who say they lost a job due to the pandemic remain unemployed, according to the study, a finding consistent with government statistics showing the U.S. has regained about half of the 22 million positions lost in

the early spring. But shifts in earnings and pay structure have been harder to track, with average hourly wage data skewed higher by the disappearance of low-paid service-industry jobs and with overall income figures inflated by expanded government benefits that gave Americans a temporary boost. Nearly one-third of adults surveyed by researchers say either they or someone in their household had to reduce their hours or accept a pay cut because of the outbreak, with 21% saying this happened to them personally. Among that subsegment of adults, 60% say they are currently earning less than before the outbreak, with 34% making about the same amount of money and 6% earning more than before the spread of the virus. The nationally representative survey of 13,200 U.S. adults was conducted from Aug. 3 to Aug. 16.

Trump’s niece sues him, other relatives, alleging they cheated her out of millions Shayna Jacobs The Washington Post

NEW YORK - Mary L. Trump, a niece of the president who wrote a bestseller documenting family dysfunction, has sued President Donald Trump and two of his siblings alleging they defrauded her out of tens of millions decades ago by manipulating the value of properties and lying to her about the worth of her inheritance. The lawsuit, filed Thursday in New York Supreme Court, accuses Mary L. Trump’s uncles, Donald and Robert, and aunt Maryanne Trump Barry, of pretending that they would guard her assets - valuable pieces of the Trump family real estate empire - that she inherited after her father died, only to bully and take advantage of her during estate settlement negotiations. It alleges fraud, conspiracy and violations of fiduciary duties. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Maryanne Trump Barry, who is a retired federal judge, was not available, according to a person who answered the phone at her home. Robert Trump died last month. The lawsuit names his estate, which was valued at $50 million, according to court records. An attorney handling Robert Trump’s estate and the

estate’s proposed executor did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Mary L. Trump’s father, Fred Trump Jr., was the oldest of President Trump’s siblings. He died in his 40s when she was a teenager. Her three older relatives “committed to watch over [Mary Trump’s] interests as fiduciaries,” the lawsuit says. “They lied.” A trained psychologist, Mary L. Trump alleged in her book, “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man,” that the president and his siblings swindled her and her brother when the estate of her grandfather Fred Trump Sr. was litigated and settled

after his death in 1999. According to the lawsuit, the Trump siblings took control of their father’s massive real estate portfolio in his declining years, as he was suffering from dementia. It says they siphoned money from him before his death, and then filtered funds through a sham company and other means to reduce their inheritance tax liability. The lawsuit, based primarily on information detailed in a 2018 New York Times report, accuses the defendants also of wresting away power of attorney from Fred Trump Sr., enabling them to direct their father’s business interests as they wished. The defendants “devalued”

properties that included Mary L. Trump’s financial interests, which minimized the worth of her assets and ultimately affected what she was paid, the lawsuit alleges. It says she was then misled by her family with the assistance of her trustee, Irwin Durben, a longtime family attorney whose true loyalty was to the Trumps who were running the business. Durben died in 2016, the suit says. “Rather than protect Mary’s interests, [her uncles and aunt] designed and carried out a complex scheme to siphon funds away from her interests, conceal their grift, and deceive her about the true value of what she had inherited,” according to the civil complaint. The complaint does not say how much money Mary L. Trump ultimately inherited under the terms of a sealed settlement agreement, or how much she was allegedly shorted. Her lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, said her client lost “tens of millions” but declined to specify further. Mary L. Trump has said that her uncle is unfit for office and that she would do “everything in my power” to see that his Democratic opponent, former vice president Joe Biden, gets elected in November. The Washington Post’s Michael Kranish in Washington contributed to this report.

Weeks after universities reopened across Europe, thousands of students are in quarantine Rick Noack and Antonia Noori Farzan The Washington Post

BERLIN - Officials in Europe placed several universities under lockdown weeks after they reopened, as coronavirus caseloads climb across much of the continent. In Switzerland, roughly 2,500 undergraduates at the École Hôtelière de Lausanne, a hospitality school, were told to remain in their dorm rooms or apartments through Monday. Institutions in other countries, including Belgium and Scotland, have imposed similar measures in recent days. Transmission on campuses in Europe mirror similar trends in the United States and around the world. Several major U.S. universities, including Notre Dame and the University of North Carolina, had to delay or cancel their plans for inperson classes in recent weeks, amid surges in infections. Some European universities have opted to delay the return to in-person lectures, but policies and approaches vary substantially between countries and regions. In some European countries, college students are especially likely to live at home or return home most weekends, increasing the risk of intergenerational transmission and geographic spread. In Germany, where the beginning of the winter lecture period is still a month away, most universities are preparing for a hybrid model, mixing virtual lectures with in-person

seminars in smaller groups. They are seeking to avoid the criticism that has been directed at French universities, where students complained about overcrowded lecture halls after in-person teaching resumed. A key concern among officials is the challenge campuses pose for thorough contact tracing, given the large number of people with whom many students interact face to face. At Hôtelière de Lausanne, health officials said Wednesday there have been so many outbreaks within the student body that it was impossible to determine which students were exposed to the virus, so as to institute a more targeted quarantine. Instead, they ordered all undergraduates to stay inside. The school did not disclose how many students have been infected, but it said those who have tested positive so far have reported only mild symptoms. Last week the College of Europe in Bruges, Belgium, also enacted a mass quarantine. The prestigious postgraduate institute “decided as a precautionary measure to have all our students in quarantine,” rector Federica Mogherini said on Twitter, after several coronavirus infections had been confirmed. “All our activities will be online for the next 2 weeks. Health & security of all are our absolute priority.” At other European universities, parties and activities without social distancing had contributed to the spread of

the virus, including at the École Hôtelière de Lausanne. Swiss authorities said the virus appeared to have circulated at one or several private parties that took place before the canton of Vaud tightened restrictions last week, closing nightclubs and banning gatherings of more than 100 people. The students responsible for throwing the parties have been disciplined, the École Hôtelière de Lausanne said in a statement shared with Reuters. In Scotland, officials linked social activities during the first week of class to coronavirus outbreaks at multiple universities. At one residence hall in the city of Dundee, 500 students were asked to self-isolate this week, as contact tracing efforts were underway. In addition, 600 people are in self-isolation in Glasgow after more than 120 students there tested positive for the virus at the city’s main university, whose administration added that “the actual number [of cases] is likely to be higher.” On Thursday, Scottish universities and the government agreed to new guidelines, telling students not to socialize outside of their accommodations and barring them from parties and pubs, the BBC reported.

WASHINGTON — Postmaster General Louis DeJoy told a judge the U.S. Postal Service can’t reassemble the hundreds of high-speed mailsorting machines that were taken apart this year, a project that more than a dozen states allege was intended to undermine the upcoming election. A nationwide injunction issued last week in Yakima, Washington, should be amended to acknowledge that the machines can’t be put back together, DeJoy and the USPS said in a filing in the case on Wednesday. The machines,

dismantled under a DeJoy initiative, were stripped for parts to improve or repair other machines, they said. “It is therefore not possible to return such machines to service,” the USPS and DeJoy, a major Republican donor, said in the filing. The Sept. 17 injunction granted by U.S. District Judge Stanley A. Bastian, requires the USPS to reverse disruptive operational changes implemented by DeJoy, including restrictions on overtime and changes to the handling of election mail, such as absentee ballots applications. The order was sought by a group

of Democratic state attorneys general who have sued the postal service. Bastian has yet to rule on DeJoy’s request to amend the injunction. The fight over the USPS changes is part of a broader clash between Republicans and Democrats over an expected surge in voting by mail due to the coronavirus pandemic. President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed without evidence that the increased use of mail-in ballots will lead to a massive fraud and a “rigged” election.

Even though most of those cases will not get serious illness, some of them will, and some of them will potentially spread it to the community.” The Washington Post’s Noori Farzan reported from Washington.

CCHS adds ‘Good Apples’ and “Schoolhouse Stories’ to Drive Through History lineup KINDERHOOK — The Columbia County Historical Society has added two more road trips to its ongoing ‘Drive Through History’ series. The self-guided driving itineraries are free to download at www. cchsny.org/drive-throughhistory.html ‘Good Apples’ explores the role of apple farming in Columbia County’s agricultural history, visiting seven heritage orchards and other points of interest. Stops include Vosburgh Orchards, which has been in the Vosburgh family since 1839, and Philip Orchards, one of the oldest continually operating family farms in New York State. Visitors may buy or pick their own apples at each stop. ‘Schoolhouse Stories’ revisits the not-so-distant era of one-room schoolhouses in Columbia County. From the 1800s through the early 1900s,

more than 100 district schools served the County’s schoolchildren, providing a tightknit learning environment that many families preferred to centralized schools, which replaced single-room schools in the mid-20th century. Visitors can see nine former oneroom schoolhouses, including the c.1850 Ichabod Crane Schoolhouse and the c.1796 Riders Mills Schoolhouse. “As apple season nears its peak and students are — one way or another — heading back to school during historic circumstances, these newest road trips provide historical context for two seasonal and iconic institutions,” said CCHS Executive Director Lori Yarotsky. ‘Good Apples’ and ‘Schoolhouse Stories’ join the previous itineraries launched by CCHS: ‘Legends & Folklore’

‘Sacred Spaces, Part I’ ‘Artifacts of Industry’ ‘Patriots & Patroons: Politics in Columbia County’ The new road trips come on the heels of the Columbia County Historical Society’s announcement of its 2020 First Columbians benefit, which will not be held in person this year. The “un-gala,” celebrating 200 Years of the James Vanderpoel House & Federal Style, provides pandemic-proof ways to engage with the area’s culture and heritage, including an exclusive Drive Through History printed treasure map of Federal-style structures in Columbia County. “While current circumstances have caused a change in the way we approach our programming, we can still find ways to celebrate history and preservation in Columbia County,” Yarotsky said.

MURDER CAFE PRESENTS

The Night of the Witches Wedding We’re turning up the heat on our upcoming Halloween murder mystery, The Night of the Witches Wedding - with a slight change from our previous 22 seasons. We won’t be live, yet we won’t be dead. Since the health and wellbeing of our community, actors and crew, fans and friends is something we take very seriously we’ll be bringing you a virtual version of “The Night of the Witches Wedding”, one you can enjoy from the comfort of your home. For only $15.00 you’ll be able to access the whodunit from our website. We can’t offer you dinner but we can still deliver a unique entertainment experience. We are all in this together. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and will follow guidance from public health officials and

government agencies. In the meantime we will continue with Hudson Valley Radio Theatre. Our radio play will be the classic comedy, “Arsenic and Old Lace” and it will feature the same cast audiences enjoyed live on Bannerman Island last year with narration by Sara Karloff. Sara is the daughter of Hollywood and Broadway legend Boris Karloff and he originated the role of Jonathan in the original Broadway production of “Arsenic and Old Lace”. He reprised the role on radio in 1951 and that’s the script we’ll be using for our production. We’d love to hear from you. If you have any questions or comments about our efforts or how we can best serve you during this difficult time let us know. For now, stay safe and healthy.

FOCUS ON HOW CLIMATE CHANGE IS IMPACTING THE REGION on storms, floods, and droughts in the Catskills. Frei is collaborating with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection to evaluate the vulnerability of the city’s water supply in the face of climate change and other threats. The Catskills are renowned for their forested mountain landscapes and rich bird life. On October 15, Dr. Jason Hill, an ecologist at the Vermont Center for Ecostudies, will discuss how climate change is predicted to shape northeastern forests over the next 200 years, with a focus on resident plants and wildlife. His talk will feature an in-depth

look at the future of montane birds. Will climate change create conditions that let invasive species thrive in the Catskills? On October 21, Carrie Brown-Lima, Director of the NY State Invasive Species Research Institute at Cornell University, will provide insight on how climate change may influence the spread of invasive plants and animals that threaten northeastern ecosystems. Special attention will be given to management implications. The Climate Change Series is part of the Catskill Science Collaborative’s efforts to share

Catskill-relevant science with the community. Coordinator Jamie Deppen explains, “In the Catskills, tourism, forestry, and agriculture all require healthy and well-managed ecosystems. We want concerned citizens to understand how climate change will impact the region, so they can better advocate for its future.” You can register for Climate Change Series events at: www. caryinstitute.org/events Web URL: www.caryinstitute.org/news-insights/pressrelease/catskill-science-collaborative-offers-virtual-lectures

Aizzah Fatima’s Delightful ‘Dirty Paki Lingerie’ Breaks Down Stereotypes Online Following sold-out shows in NYC, London, Toronto, a four-city tour of Italy, Pakistan (a four-city State Departmentsponsored tour), Turkmenistan, The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, a 15-city tour in the United Kingdom, and at colleges and universities across the US, “Dirty Paki Lingerie”, written and performed by Aizzah Fatima and directed by Erica Gould, returns to Catskill’s Bridge Street Theatre for a virtual, online performance October 9-11, 2020. Cross-cultural sparks fly and preconceptions about Muslim women, sex, and politics are hilariously shattered when Aizzah Fatima portrays a host of characters, including six generations of a Pakistani-American Muslim family, ranging in age from a six to sixty-five. When Aizzah previously brought this show to Bridge Street Theatre back in 2015, houses were packed to the rafters and the Catskill Daily Mail raved, “Our area was graced last weekend by a woman who could become one of its greatest artistic treasures.” “Dirty Paki Lingerie” can be experienced by ticketholders on YouTube, premiering at 7:30 p.m. ET on Friday October 9 and then available for viewing through Sunday October 11 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Viewers in other time zones, please note and adjust viewing times. All tickets need to be purchased before

Virtual Local History Talk on the Purchase of Manhattan

Purchase of Manhattan Island from the Indians by the Dutch in 1626, 1853, William Ranney (1813–1857)

The Hudson Area Library and the Jacob Leisler Institute present: “Imagination Aided by the Painter’s Brush”: The Creation of the Purchase of Manhattan, 1844–1909 by Stephen McErleane on Thursday, October 22, 6-7:30 p.m. To register and receive the Zoom link email brenda.shufelt@hudsonarealibrary.org or call 518828-1792 x101.. A question and answer period will follow the talk. Though it is now known as a fundamental piece of the early history of the city, it was not until 217 years after the event that New Yorkers first learned of the now infamous 1626 purchase of the island of Manhattan by the Dutch from the Indians for twenty-four dollars. This talk follows the construction of that story from its first appearance in the 1840s and focuses on an important and overlooked piece: an 1853 painting of the purchase by the American artist William Ranney. Ranney has been dubbed a myth-maker for his influential depictions of the American Revolution and of life in the American West. His role in the creation of the Manhattan purchase myth, however, has gone largely ignored. The Jacob Leisler Institute for the Study of Early New York History is an independent, not-for-profit study and research center devoted to collecting, preserving, and disseminating information relating to colonial New York under English rule. In the years spanning 1664 to 1773, New York province’s diverse European

settlements and Native American and African populations fused into a cosmopolitan colonial territory with ties throughout the Atlantic World. The Institute is unique in focusing on this under examined 109-year period in American history. The Institute contains a collection of original, digital, and/or paper copies of primary source manuscripts, books, maps, and illustrative materials, as well as a library of secondary resources that provide scholarly context to the primary sources. The Jacob Leisler Institute is an open resource for both scholars and the interested public. The Hudson Area Library History Room houses a special collection that pertains to the history of the City of Hudson, Greenport and Stockport; as well as Columbia County and New York State. The History Room is closed to the public at this time but online research requests are available at https://hudsonarealibrary.org/history-room/ and the public can submit requests for information on local history that volunteers will research.

COPAKE — After nearly seven months of inactivity because of the coronavirus pandemic, high school sports returned on Wednesday with Taconic Hills blanking Catskill, 12-0, in a Patroon Conference golf match at Copake Country Club. Before, during and after the match, new guidelines were enforced such as temperature checks with heat guns before studentathletes enter the bus, masks worn while traveling and during the match, sitting every other seat on the bus,hand sanitizing before the match and after, social distancing (six-feet apart) during the match and no sharing of golf balls or clubs. Both Taconic Hills coach Joe Raco Jr. and Catskill coach Brian Smith were happy just to get their kids on the course competing again. “Today was an exciting day for coaches, athletes, and parents,” Smith said.”The student-athletes needed this from an emotional standpoint. Not being able to play the sports they love has taken a toll on them. Today, we proved we can compete again in a controlled environment with the appropriate

safety measures. “Although the season started

without any practices the golfers enjoyed the match, and were able

to interact with their opponents while social distancing. A great day for Patroon golf and all of sports.” “It is definitely a blessing to have sports back,” Raco Jr. said. “No one knew if the season was “a go” even as late as last week. All of us were prepared to have no sports or to have to wait until the spring. The kids and coaches are excited to get whatever golf we get this season.” As far as the match itself, Raco Jr. was very pleased with what he saw. “We have a very young and exciting team. Four of six kids in the top six are in 10th grade or younger. Many of them are friends and family friends who play a lot of gold together in the off season and it shows.” Results: Ben Hunter (TH) defeated Ricky Edwards (C), 2 points; Zach Rowe (TH) defeated Mike Jubie (C), 2 points; Ryan Nielsen (TH) defeated Xavier Englin (C), 2 points; Brayden Jause (TH) defeated Ryan Prasenski (c), 2 points; Jacob Hunter (TH) defeated Andrew Holiday (C), 2 points; Torrin Pewtherer (TH) defeated Jonathan Kent (C), 2 points.

Tom Thibodeau era begins with Knicks’ first practice in over six months Stefan Bondy New York Daily News

The Tom Thibodeau era has begun with the New York Knicks.

NEW YORK — The Knicks were a little delayed getting on the court for their first group workouts Wednesday afternoon. After six months off, what’s another few minutes anyway? When they finally started practice, Tom Thibodeau began what he described as building a base of fundamentals. “Offensively, we’ll build our system more towards

what the strengths of our club is and then defensively of course there’s things you believe in that you know you have to establish in this league,” Thibodeau said in a video conference call Wednesday with reporters. “And that starts with fundamentals on both offense and defense. You have to build your base first. And that’s what you want to spend time on.” The circumstances are a bit awkward and imperfect

for the Knicks. Welcome to 2020. Like the other seven teams that weren’t invited to Orlando for the resumption of the season, they’re finally allowed to hold a mini training camp while trying to limit contact with the outside world. They’re staying at a Manhattan hotel because the accommodations fit the league and union COVIDrelated requirements, and they’re commuting to the

COXSACKIE — Riley Sitcer went 4 for 4 with two home runs and six RBI to lead the Greene County Outlaws 16U softball team to a 17-6 victory over the Latham Cyclones in Wednesday’s Fall Travel Softball game. Ryan Carroll went 4 for 5 with a double and four RBI for the Outlaws. Gabby Logue had three singles, Liz Holliday two singles and an RBI, Ava Heffner a single and three RBI, Emily Mesick two singles and Lauren Winegard a single. Gabby Logue and Emily Mesick combined for the win, striking out three and walking five. Chatham Lady Reds 17, Halfmoon 0 CHATHAM — Lily Kritzman fired a perfect game with five strikeouts as the Chatham Lady Reds 16U defeated the Halfmoon Lightning, 17-0, in a Fall Travel softball game. Addi Perry had a triple and single for the Reds. Emily Scheriff doubled, Mickayla Masten and Anna Friedman added two singles apiece and Ashley Ames and Olive Mountain both singled. Chatham Lady Reds 8, Duanesburg 4 CHATHAM — Addi Perry and Mickayla Masten each had two singles to help the Chatham Lady Reds post an 8-4 victory over the Duanesburg Cyclones in a Fall Travel softball game. Jillian Silver, Aliyah Camacho, Lindsay Martin and Grace Brennan all singled for the Reds. Anna Friedman pitched the first four innings for the Reds, striking out one and allowing three runs and three hits. Lily Kritzman finished up, surrendering one run and four hits with three strikeouts. BASEBALL 14U See ROUNDUP B3

Injury-riddled 49ers return to MetLife to face Giants Field Level Media

Two teams dealing with serious injuries meet at a field that one blames for its casualties when the San Francisco 49ers visit the New York Giants on Sunday afternoon in East Rutherford, N.J. The 49ers (1-1) overcame season-ending knee injuries to defensive linemen Nick Bosa and Solomon Thomas, and game-ending ailments to quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and running back Raheem Mostert in a 31-13 thumping of the New York Jets last Sunday. The 49ers didn’t return home after the game, opting to spend the week practicing and lounging at the Greenbrier resort in West Virginia. San Francisco likely will be without Garoppolo (high ankle sprain), Mostert (sprained knee) and running back Tevin Coleman (sprained knee) as it seeks just its second road win against the Giants since 2002. Nick Mullens, who replaced Garoppolo against the Jets, is expected to get the start versus the Giants. Jerick McKinnon, who came off the bench to rush for 77 yards and a touchdown, is in line for his first 49ers start at running back. Coincidentally, Mullens also was the 49ers’ starting quarterback the last time they met the Giants in a 27-23 home loss in 2018. He went 27-for-39 for 250 yards with a touchdown and

two interceptions. The 49ers asked the NFL to look into the

condition of the turf at MetLife Stadium this week. Not sure what to expect, San Francisco

coach Kyle Shanahan has warned his players to focus on the opponent – not the field. “If you’re playing, you better be confident and full speed,” he said this week. “The NFL and NFLPA’s having people look at it. If they don’t find anything, you go out there and play. Other people tore their ACL in this league last week and they weren’t all on turf.” Giants standout running back Saquon Barkley was one of those guys, having gone down in the first half of New York’s 17-13 road loss to the Chicago Bears. Dion Lewis stepped in to rush for the only touchdown of the game for the Giants (0-2), and the club has since signed free agent running back Devonta Freeman this week. Giants coach Joe Judge spent part of the week trying to convince his team that the combination of 0-2 and Barkley’s injury doesn’t mean the season is over. “We’re not going to raise the white flag on anything,” Judge insisted. “Our guys are going to fight straight on through. We have a job to do regardless of the circumstance or outcome of the previous game. Our job is to get ready to go out there and put the best product on the field we can on a weekly basis.” New York also will be without wideout See GIANTS B3

MLB roundup: Rays capture first division title since 2010 Field Level Media

Randy Arozarena hit a tiebreaking two-run homer with one out in the sixth inning and added another homer in the ninth and the Tampa Bay Rays clinched the American League East Division title with an 8-5 victory over the host New York Mets Wednesday night. The Rays won their third division title and first since 2010. They took over first place in the division for good on Aug. 22 and are closing in on clinching the top seed in the American League playoffs. The Rays celebrated on the field with confetti near their dugout on the third base side. Joey Wendle also homered as the Rays won for the ninth time in 13 games. Manuel Margot created a run in the third with a bunt single and then scored on a ground ball to first base when he got his hand in just before catcher Wilson Ramos could apply the tag. The Mets clinched a losing season for the third time in four seasons and their playoff hopes grew even more unlikely. Blue Jays 14, Yankees 1 Danny Jansen was 4-for-4 with two solo homers and three RBIs, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had two hits and three RBIs, and Toronto blitzed New York in Buffalo. Cavan Biggio and Bo Bichette added two hits and two RBIs apiece for the Blue Jays, who put the game away with an eight-run sixth inning. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. had three hits. Toronto can clinch a playoff spot on Thursday with a win in the finale of the four-game series. Starter Masahiro Tanaka (33) surrendered five runs (three earned), eight hits and three walks in four innings. He fanned five and took the loss for the Yankees, who also had four errors. Blue Jays reliever A.J. Cole (3-0) walked one in one scoreless inning to pick up the win. Red Sox 9, Orioles 1 Rafael Devers contributed a three-run double during a six-run third inning as Boston rolled to a lopsided victory over visiting Baltimore. Kevin Plawecki went 3-for-4 with two RBIs and right-hander Nathan Eovaldi pitched six shutout innings as the Red Sox matched a season high with their third straight win. Austin Hays went 3-for-4 with a homer for Baltimore, which lost for the 12th time in its past 15 games. Royals 12, Cardinals 3 Salvador Perez and Franchy Cordero each hit two homers and drove in five runs as Kansas City clobbered visiting St. Louis. Perez tied his career high in RBIs on his first two swings and Cordero never previously had more than three RBIs in a game. The Cardinals fell into a tie with the Cincinnati Reds for second place in the National League Central. In the NL wild-card race, St. Louis, Cincinnati and San Francisco ended the day tied, with Philadelphia and Milwaukee each one game back. Danny Duffy (4-4) earned the win for the Royals. He allowed one run on six hits with five strikeouts and one walk in 5 2/3 innings. Cardinals starter Carlos Martinez (0-3) allowed eight runs on nine hits with two walks and three strikeouts in five-plus innings. Indians 3, White Sox 2 Jordan Luplow drilled a walk-off solo home run and four pitchers combined on a four-hitter with 16 strikeouts to lift host Cleveland past Chicago and knock the White Sox

out of first place in the American League Central. The White Sox, who have lost four straight and five of six, fell a half-game behind the Twins. The Indians are 2 1/2 games behind the Twins. Cleveland starter Shane Bieber limited Chicago to one unearned run on two hits with three walks and 10 strikeouts in five innings in getting a no-decision. It was the third time he registered double-digit strikeouts in four September starts. Angels 5, Padres 2 Struggling Shohei Ohtani went deep to ignite a three-homer barrage in the second inning to lift visiting Los Angeles to victory over San Diego. Justin Upton and Anthony Bemboom followed with solo shots off Padres left-hander Adrian Morejon. Mike Clevinger opened the game for the Padres and struck out two batters in the first inning. Clevinger, who hadn’t pitched since Sept. 13 due to biceps tenderness, did not start the second, however. Padres manager Jayce Tingler announced after the game that Clevinger said his biceps “tightened up on him.” Clevinger was expected to have an MRI later Wednesday. Phillies 12, Nationals 3 Bryce Harper homered twice, walked three times, drove in two runs and scored four runs to lift visiting Philadelphia past Washington. Andrew McCutchen homered and doubled twice and Alec Bohm added two hits for the Phillies, who snapped a four-game losing streak. Juan Soto homered, singled and drove in two runs while Yan Gomes added two hits for the Nationals. Reds 6, Brewers 1 Pitching on three days’ rest, Trevor Bauer struck out 12 over eight innings, and Cincinnati homered three more times to take two of three from visiting Milwaukee with a lopsided victory. Bauer (5-4), an NL Cy Young Award candidate, was brilliant over 104 pitches to help the Reds continue their push t o the postseason. Joey Vott o hit a tworun

homer in the first, Jesse Winker deposited a solo shot in the fourth and Eugenio Suarez’s three-run blast in the fifth essentially put the game away for Cincinnati. Avisail Garcia had three of the five hits for Milwaukee. Pirates 2, Cubs 1 First-inning home runs by Adam Frazier and Ke’Bryan Hayes held up as Pittsburgh won its second straight game over visiting Chicago. Pittsburgh had lost five straight before the two consecutive wins and now has clinched at least a split in the four-game series with the Cubs. Anthony Rizzo hit a solo homer for Chicago, which was held to five hits. Giants 7, Rockies 2 Mauricio Dubon hit a three-run homer in a four-run fifth inning and San Francisco moved into a tie for a National League wild-card spot with four days remaining in the regular season thanks to a victory over visiting Colorado. Evan Longoria added a homer and five Giants pitchers scattered nine hits as San Francisco, with a second straight win, moved level with the St. Louis Cardinals and the Cincinnati Reds in the race for the two NL wild cards. Charlie Blackmon doubled twice for the Rockies, who are on the verge of formal elimination from postseason contention. A’s 6, Dodgers 4 Ramon Laureano hit a two-run home run with two outs in the ninth inning to give Oakland a victory at Los Angeles. The long ball, Laureano’s sixth of the season, came off former A’s right-hander Blake Treinen (3-3). Laureano had two hits and drove in three runs while Oakland starter Sean Manaea gave up three runs on six hits over six innings. Manaea walked one and struck out four. Jake Diekman (1-0) picked up the victory after throwing one inning despite giving up his first run of the season. Liam Hendriks pitched the ninth inning for his 14th save.

NBA, WNBA react to charges in Breonna Taylor case Field Level Media

Though the attention of the NBA and WNBA remain on their respective bubbles in Florida, players and coaches of both leagues were like most of America on Wednesday, fixated on the news and subsequent fallout from the announcement of charges related to the shooting death of Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Ky. And once the news came out – that one of the three officers involved had been charged with three counts of wanton endangerment (the lowest-grade felony in Kentucky), the other two officers were not charged at all, and that none of the charges dealt specifically with the death of Taylor – people from around both leagues were quick to speak out, either verbally or through social media. Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, who earlier in the day texted his teammates that an announcement would be coming, did not speak about the grand jury’s decision but did make a statement on Twitter: “I’ve been lost for words today! I’m devastated, hurt, sad, mad! We want Justice for Breonna yet justice was met for her neighbors apartment walls and not her beautiful life. Was I surprised at the verdict. Absolutely not but damnit I was & still am hurt and heavy hearted! my love to Breonna mother, family and friends! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!!” Teammate Danny Green said, “Nobody was really happy about it. It was disappointing. In a sense, something was done, but it wasn’t enough. Most guys felt it was definitely not enough. ... It’s a tough one. It’s a tough one.” Taylor, 26, was shot to death by Louisville police in the early hours of March 13, as police were serving a warrant on Taylor’s apartment. Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, fired at police as they entered the apartment, maintaining he did not know they were police and that he feared Taylor and he were being

attacked. Police returned fire, with multiple shots hitting Taylor, killing her. At a news conference shortly after the charges were announced Wednesday, Kentucky attorney general Daniel Cameron told reporters that the officers were “justified in their use of force” because Walker fired at them first. Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone, whose team is playing the Lakers in the Western Conference finals and who often wears “Justice for Elijah McClain” on his shirts, said, “I know we’ve been using our platform down here to try to bring about education and a voice in a lot of players on our team, especially (regarding) justice for Breonna Taylor. We have not gotten that justice. That’s a shame. Hopefully that will change at some point.” McClain, was a 23-year-old Black

man who was stopped by police in Aurora, Colo., last August. Police ultimately tackled McClain to the ground and put him in a chokehold, then called paramedics who injected McClain with the powerful sedative ketamine. McClain had a heart attack on the way to the hospital and was declared brain dead three days later. McClain was not armed when police originally approached him. One month ago Wednesday, Jacob Blake, another Black man, was shot multiple times in the back by a white police officer in Kenosha, Wis. Shortly after the shooting, the Milwaukee Bucks decided not play out of protest against the shooting. That began a string of teams and athletes in a variety of sports around the world refusing to play or practice as a sign of protest. There has been no indication

date for the beginning of next season, only a statement from Adam Silver that it’s probably January at the earliest. Most of the Knicks can become free agents in the coming months, and most will probably play for another team next season. Thibodeau, who signed his five-year deal in the summer, is playing his hand. “I think that’s a big challenge in the NBA — how quickly can you adapt? Because things always change in the league, whether it’s trade, free agency, an injury. You have to adapt quickly,” Thibodeau said. “So for us the focus has to be on the guys who are here. And that’s what we’re doing. So everyday we’re

thinking about how we can improve as a team and how we can improve individually. And we want that to be our focus. We want to stack days together. We know it starts with fundamentals. We have to build that base and then we’ll take it from there.” So what can a coach reasonably accomplish under these conditions? Individual development. The systems will come later. “Once you build your foundation, then you can determine whether you’re going to blitz a pick-and-roll, whether you’re going to ice a pickand-roll, whether you’re going to switch a pick-and-roll, and you’re probably going

one inning in relief, giving up one hit with two strikeouts and two walks. 10U Columbia Clippers 14, GC Outlaws 9U 7 COXSACKIE — The Columbia Clippers 10U managed just one hit, but were still able to post a 14-7 victory over the Greene County Outlaws 9U in a Fall Travel Baseball game. Tanner Kelly’s single was the only hit for the Clippers. Marcelo Ivery, Jackson Thompson and Tyler Wood each had an RBI single for the Outlaws. Amarion Perry started on the mound for the Clippers and pitched two innings, striking out six, walking four and allowing two runs. Evan Conte finished up, striking out six, walking two and allowing five runs and three hits. Everett Nelson, J.J. Irwin and Thompson all pitched for the Outlaws, striking out five and walking 14. Clippers 32, Outlaws 9U 8 COXSACKIE — Evan Burleigh collected three singles

and four RBI to lead the Columbia Clippers 10U to a 32-8 victory over the Greene County Outlaws 9U in a Fall Travel Baseball game. Jayden Brantley, Amarion Perry and Evan Conte all had a double and two singles with two RBI for the Clippers. Mason Briscoe added a double and two singles with an RBI, Tanner Kelly tripled and drove in a run, Trevor Casey had two singles and two RBI, Ethan Brennan two singles and Keegan Mullins, Braeden Barnes and Ryan Link a single and an RBI apiece. Max Van Etten had three singles and an RBI for the Outlaws. Tyler Wood doubled and Brandon Simmons singled and drove in a run. Briscoe was dominant in his 3 2/3 innings on the mound for the Clippers, striking out 11 and walking two. Mullins struck out four in an inning and a third of relief. Van Etten Daegan Welch and Caleb Burch teamed up to strike out six and walk 14 for the Outlaws.

Like the Giants, the 49ers brought in reinforcements this week – both in-house and from free agency. Star tight end George Kittle, who sustained a knee injury in the season-opening loss to Arizona and did not travel to

New York last week, has rejoined the team in workouts. Meanwhile, the team added to the depth of their defensive line with the signing of veteran Ziggy Ansah and the promotion of Dion Jordan from the practice squad.

Wednesday that any games would be postponed in light of the Taylor news, and the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat did play Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals later Wednesday night near Orlando. Before the game, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra talked about the increased social activism athletes and sports leagues have undertaken in recent months. “This has all been about justice,” Spoelstra said, “and it was not served.” Celtics coach Brad Stevens said, “To have 15 rounds of gunfire fired, five of which hit (Taylor), and there to be wanton endangerment – which I didn’t know existed before today – as the charge ... it’s tough. “At the end of the day, there’s been a call across the country, rightfully so, for more transparency, more accountability and just

to do a version of all three. And so we’ll take a look at it,” Thibodeau said. “We’ll figure out the things that we’re really good at. And we’ll build that way. But right now we’re still digging through. And as I mentioned, we still don’t know what the personnel of the club will be and technically this is still part of last year. The offseason really hasn’t come yet. We don’t know when the beginning of next season, when training camp will be and all that. So we can lock into the player development aspect of it, and that’s what we’re trying to do. With Robinson reportedly absent for “personal reasons,” RJ Barrett carries the most

a better community relationship. And obviously, this feels like a setback to that.” Celtics guard Jaylen Brown said he “wasn’t surprised” by the verdict. “I think that this society, in the way it was built and the way ... its intentions were never to protect and serve people of color, initially,” Brown said. “When they were gearing for what was about to happen, I knew the wrong decision was probably being made, but it doesn’t surprise me. It doesn’t surprise me at all. Until we dismantle, recreate or change the system that we have, we’re going to still have victims like Breonna Taylor and others that fall victim to oppression.” In Bradenton, Fla., Taylor’s case has been at the forefront throughout the WNBA’s return to play in its bubble. Players have worn “Say Her Name” shirts – a rallying cry in the wake of Taylor’s death – and “Black Lives Matter” has donned courts in the bubble. Though there were no games Wednesday, plenty of players expressed their feelings on social media, as well. “We knew the news was not gonna be good when the Louisville police chief declared a state of emergency preemptively,” New York Liberty guard Layshia Clarendon tweeted. “My heart breaks for Tamika Palmer (Taylor’s mother) all over again. We will not be silent & accept state sanctioned murder and an extreme lack of accountability time and time again.” Washington Mystics forward Tianna Hawkins tweeted, “He was charged with endangerment for shooting in ‘other’ apartments. STILL, there are no charges and no one being held accountable for Breonna Taylor’s MURDER.” And Chicago Sky coach James Wade – one of two Black head coaches in the WNBA – tweeted: “Wow! This comes as no surprise but this is really bad. I don’t understand what we stand for and why life doesn’t mean anything.”

potential in the minicamp. Thibodeau said his first impressions of the third overall pick “have been great.” “Obviously, there’s a lot of work to be done. These are the initial steps,” the coach said. “The offseason is critical for any young player. So

obviously you can get going on the development piece, which I think is critical. That holds true for all our players. But he’s been great, eager, he’s working hard. If he does that day after day he will improve quite a bit.”

Vahe Gregorian: Gale’s Song: Sayers’ legacy in race relationships still resonates today Vahe Gregorian The Kansas City Star

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — If you’re of a certain age and time, one sports movie still stands out above all others. “Brian’s Song” made its debut on ABC on Nov. 30, 1971, when I was an impressionable fifth grader and among the millions weeping — even as it also offered a profound social statement for its time in the most-watched made-forTV movie ever made. On the occasion of Gale Sayers’ death on Wednesday at age 77, that’s as much or more of his legacy than being the Kansas Comet. Or the human highlight reel that he became with the Chicago Bears (eluding the Chiefs for the NFL team after they made him the fifth overall pick in the 1965 AFL draft). And becoming at age 34 after an injury-sabotaged career the youngest man ever inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. When I hear Sayers’ name, I think first of “Brian’s Song” and his relationship with Brian Piccolo. Put aside some fictionalized aspects, and the appalling use of the N-word. The essence of it was pure and groundbreaking. Because it gave us all a chance to consider how much more it unites us than divides us and served as a powerful testimonial to how sports can bridge the divide in race relationships. As we are again, or still, embroiled in matters of racial injustice in this country, that relationship speaks anew to an ideal we’ve yet to realize but serves again now as a reminder of what could and should be in a common cause. “It’s still one of the movies, you watch it today, you cry,” Bob Kendrick, president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, said Wednesday. He later added, “At a time when that really wasn’t kosher, those two bonded at a level that speaks purely of humanity and nothing else. “Color is of no significance when you have a bond like that. That’s your brother. ... And you had not seen those kinds of relationships in that manner on TV too often at that time. “You definitely took that to heart.” The movie, starring Billy Dee Williams as Sayers and James Caan as Piccolo, depicted the deep friendship forged between Sayers and Piccolo as

Chicago Tribune

Gale Sayers (left) and Brian Piccolo formed a special friendship as Bears running backs in the late 1960s.

they became what is widely believed to be the first interracial roommates in the NFL ... even as they were competing for a job with the Bears and came from vastly different backgrounds. The 26-year-old Piccolo had died of cancer in 1970, three weeks after the normally subdued Sayers had overwhelmed the audience at the Pro Football Writers Awards Dinner in New York — as told in wonderful detail by my friend and former Star writer Mike Vaccaro for the New York Post in May on the 50th anniversary of the dinner. After coming back from a horrendous knee injury in 1968, Sayers was receiving the George S. Halas Most Courageous Player trophy when he deflected the spotlight to Piccolo. “In the middle of last season, Brian was struck

down by the deadliest, most shocking enemy any of us can ever face — cancer,” Sayers told the suddenly rapt audience. Then he extolled Piccolo’s courage and memorably added, “You flatter me by giving me this award, but I tell you here and now that I accept it for Brian Piccolo. Brian Piccolo is the man of courage who should receive the George S. Halas Award. It is mine tonight, it is Brian Piccolo’s tomorrow. “I love Brian Piccolo, and I’d like all of you to love him, too. And tonight, when you hit your knees, please ask God to love him.” Those last words came back to me in a different way in 2017, when I had the piercing privilege of spending time with a declining Sayers and his

wife, Ardie. Through mutual friends, I sat with them as he was honored in Topeka by the Native Sons and Daughters of Kansas as one of its Kansans of the Year. Pleasant as he was, he spoke little and I knew he was in the throes of a cognitive battle that had not been publicly clarified. But I wasn’t ready for what happened during a KU-produced tribute that included NFL and Jayhawks highlights and clips from “Brian’s Song.” As he gazed toward the screen, it seemed he wasn’t fully following what was unfolding. This wasn’t something the family wanted to share then. But a few weeks later, Ardie thought otherwise and I spent a day with them at their home in Wakarusa, Ind. She came to believe it was important to dispel false impressions people might have had about Sayers over the four years since he had been diagnosed with dementia — the onset of which she believed may have begun as far back as 2009. “People must know,” she said then. It also was important, she said, for the sake of others similarly afflicted and their families so they can know how important it is to stay vigilant. She also wanted to speak about the apparent role of football in this. “Like the doctor at the Mayo Clinic said, ‘Yes, a part of this has to be on football,’ “ Ardie Sayers said, adding, “It wasn’t so much getting hit in the head ... It’s just the shaking of the brain when they took him down with the force they play the game in.” Sayers, alas, scarcely spoke during the seven hours I was with them. But as ever, there was something inspiring in the Gale Sayers experience. As she resolved to laugh to keep from “crying all the time” and did all she could to put him at ease and help him exercise his mind, Ardie provided a profile in courage herself. And there was this moment in their basement: As Ardie spoke of “Brian’s Song,” Gale walked over to look at a picture of Piccolo. And it made me feel like deep inside he’ll always know what that relationship meant to so many, something I felt, too, in his sweet smile when we said goodbye. Something that transcends time and place now.

Behind Herro’s 37, Heat close in on Finals spot Field Level Media

Rookie Tyler Herro scored a careerhigh 37 points, Jimmy Butler added 24 and the Heat held off the Boston Celtics 112-109 in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals Wednesday night near Orlando, moving Miami within one win of an NBA Finals berth. Herro, 20, made 14 of 21 shots off the bench to continue his dynamic playoff run as the Heat grabbed a 3-1 advantage in the best-of-seven series. Goran Dragic had 22 points, and Bam Adebayo added 20 points and 12 rebounds. “Just trying to get a rhythm going

early,” said Herro, whose 37 points are the second most in a playoff game for a player 20 or younger (Magic Johnson, 42). “Once you see a couple shots go down, the rest of the game is easier for you. Tonight was definitely a good night.” Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 28 points, all coming in the second half, and Jaylen Brown had 21. Kemba Walker scored 20, Gordon Hayward 14 and Marcus Smart had 10 points and 11 assists. Miami will get the chance to close out the series in Game 5 on Friday. Unlike in each of the first three games, when the Heat fell behind by

double digits, Miami opened up a 5846 lead early in the third quarter. Prior to that run, the Heat’s largest lead of the series was eight. Tatum, scoreless on six shots in the first half, came to life with 16 points in the period as the Celtics got within 77-76 entering the fourth. “I wasn’t aggressive enough,” said Tatum of his slow start. “I had to play better.” Boston surged ahead for the first time since 11:05 of the second quarter on a Daniel Theis dunk with 8:51 to go in the game. An Adebayo basket and five points from Herro to reach 30 on the night put Miami up 91-85.

“Not too many people get an opportunity to make it this far in the playoffs and be in a game like this, but for him it’s another day in the office,” said Butler of Herro. “... He’s been doing it all year long. To him, there’s no pressure or anything. He’s just going to keep playing basketball the right way.” The Heat upped their advantage to 98-90 on Herro’s fifth 3-pointer with 4:09 left. Brown hit a trey and Smart added a layup to get the Celtics within three, but Dragic and Butler each made short buckets to reset the margin to seven. After Tatum hit a trey, Dragic responded from deep and Herro added

a layup to put Miami up by nine with 56.2 seconds remaining. Boston got within three again on a Brown 3-pointer with 16 seconds to go, but free throws by Herro and Butler helped Miami hold on. Hayward hit a pair of free throws to tie the score at 40 with 3:38 left in the first half. The Heat responded with a 10-4 run to lead 50-44 at the break. The Celtics committed 11 of their 19 turnovers in the first half. “We’ve got to do a better job of handling the ball and taking care of it,” said coach Brad Stevens.

Allen, Bills aim to continue torrid play vs. Rams Field Level Media

If it is too early to call the Los Angeles Rams’ visit to face the Buffalo Bills a marquee matchup, then at least it is an early-season showdown of teams maximizing their potential. The teams from opposite coasts and conferences will meet Sunday sharing a common 2-0 record that has them atop their respective divisions. The Bills reside atop the AFC East, already a game ahead of the new-look New England Patriots and two up on the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins. The Rams have company atop the NFC West, but it is a division that is not unfolding as planned. The San Francisco 49ers are 1-1 and in the thick of some serious injury issues. The Rams are instead tied for first place with both the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals. The Bills’ 58 points scored after Week 2 are third most in the AFC behind the Las Vegas Raiders (68) and the Baltimore Ravens (71). Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen leads the NFL with 729 passing yards, thanks to the fourth most completions (57). His six touchdown passes are tied for second most, while he has yet to throw an interception. Allen was 24 of 35 for 415 yards and four touchdowns in a 31-28 victory over the Dolphins on Sunday. Allen earned AFC Player of the Week honors for his performance. “(The receivers) are willing to do whatever it takes to win the game,” said Allen, who called his award this week more of a team honor. “They understand that we’re going to throw the ball and they’re going to have their opportunities and they’re going to take advantage of their opportunities.”

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (17) celebrates with wide receiver John Brown (15) after a touchdown during the second half against the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday.

Stefon Diggs’ transition to his first season at Buffalo, after five years with the Minnesota Vikings, has gone well with a team-best 16 receptions for 239 yards and a touchdown. John Brown has 10 catches for 152 yards and two TDs, while Cole Beasley has nine catches for 128 yards. The Rams’ pass defense has been tested to the tune of 82 attempts by opposing QBs, tied

for sixth most in the NFL. It seems less a sign of a perceived weakness and more the result of early leads against both the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles. The Rams have surrendered 486 passing yards, around the middle of the pack in the NFL, but just 6.2 yards per attempt (third best) and a 73.2 opponents’ passer rating (second best).

Linebacker Micah Kiser was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week after recording a team-high 16 tackles with a forced fumble in a 37-19 victory over the Eagles on Sunday. His 17 solo tackles are the most in the NFL. While Los Angeles quarterback Jared Goff is showing Pro Bowl potential again after a down 2019, the Rams’ rushing attack has been instrumental to their hot start. With Todd Gurley now at Atlanta, the Rams have the third most rushing yards in the NFL at 344. They also have the second most rushing attempts behind a trio of backs: Malcolm Brown (29 carries, 126 yards), rookie Cam Akers (17, 52) and Darrell Henderson Jr. (15, 87). Henderson had 81 yards and a touchdown on Sunday after Akers left the game early with a rib injury. “As a back, once you get your rhythm and your momentum, you feel like nobody (can) stop you,” Henderson said. “... My mindset for every game is you never know when (opportunities are) going to happen.” Akers (ribs) and Brown (finger) did not practice Wednesday. Cornerback Darious Williams (Achilles) also was out. Left guard Joe Noteboom (calf) is expected to go on injured reserve. The Bills had a full injury report Wednesday. Players who did not practice: Beasley (hip/ thumb), cornerback Taron Johnson (groin), tight end Dawson Knox (concussion), rookie running back Zack Moss (toe), defensive tackle Ed Oliver (knee) and linebacker Del’Shawn Phillips (quad). Players limited: linebackers Tremaine Edmunds (shoulder) and Matt Milano (hamstring) and cornerback Tre’Davious White (shoulder).

Chargers doctor accidentally punctured Tyrod Taylor’s lung with injection Jeff Miller Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Tyrod Taylor was knocked out of the Chargers’ game Sunday against Kansas City because of a mishap that involved his lung being punctured by a team doctor, a league source confirmed. Taylor received an injection before the game to help him manage pain from a rib injury. During the procedure, his lung was accidentally punctured, which led to Taylor struggling to breathe. He was replaced moments before kickoff by rookie Justin Herbert. The idea that Taylor might have suffered a punctured lung

was first suggested by David Chao, a former team doctor for the Chargers. On a podcast, Chao explained that he had no knowledge of the situation and had consulted with no one from the team. But, given the details, he explained that a punctured lung is “a known complication” of such injections. On Monday, Chargers coach Anthony Lynn wouldn’t go into detail but did admit there were complications during a pregame procedure done on Taylor. He also reiterated his postgame comments that Taylor would remain the Chargers’ starter if and when he’s fully healthy.

All of the Tampa Bay Lightning’s stars had an impact, even Steven Stamkos in his brief return to the lineup for the first time in more than seven months, and the result was a resounding 5-2 win over the Dallas Stars Wednesday in Edmonton that has them ahead 2-1 in the Stanley Cup Final. Maybe it was the inspiration of the return of Stamkos, the team captain who scored with his lone shot on goal on a night he played less than three minutes, but the Lightning dominated in a victory that has them looking to take a stranglehold on the best-of-seven series when it resumes Friday. Although he didn’t take a shift after the first intermission, Stamkos said playing in the game was a “dream come true”. He had core muscle surgery in March and was originally expected to play when the season restarted, but was on the sidelines until Wednesday. “It was an amazing experience to share with my teammates,” Stamkos said. “There’s been a lot of hard work going on behind the scenes, so to get into a game and have an impact on a game when a month ago that might not have been possible. ... I was just happy to contribute.” Stamkos wouldn’t divulge whether he had a setback or suffered another injury, nor if he expects to play any other games. “Obviously, there is an issue that I’ve been working through. We’ll see what happens from here, but I was just extremely happy to be out there with these guys and have a chance to just be on the bench and contribute to a win,” he said. “We’re focused on winning right now. Tonight was a step in the right direction. It’s so painful to just sit and watch and feel you have no part of the game because you’re way more nervous watching the games.” There was no pain on this night for Stamkos and the rest of the Lightning. Victor Hedman led the way with one goal and three points, while Brayden Point, Nikita Kucherov and Ondrej Palat each netted

one goal and one assist, and Andrei Vasilevskiy made 22 saves. After Kucherov opened the scoring at the 5:33 mark and Stamkos doubled the lead 85 seconds later, Jason Dickinson put Dallas on the board with a short-handed goal midway through the opening frame, but the Lightning blew the game open with a three-goal second period. Hedman tallied 54 seconds into the middle frame – his 10th goal of the playoffs, which is the third-most goals by a defenseman in a single playoff year, behind 12 netted by Paul Coffey in 1985 and the 11 Brian Leetch scored in 1994, and Point buried a one-timer set up by Kucherov at 12:02. Palat buried a loose puck with 65 seconds remaining in the period to make it a 5-1 count. Miro Heiskanen scored for Dallas 6:49 into the third period while the clubs basically played out the clock. Now, it’s up to the Stars to regroup, and they know it.

“We made some errors. That’s hockey. That’s sports,” said defenseman John Klingberg. “It’s 2-1, they’re up one. We’re going to even the series on Friday.” It would help if the Dallas leaders had an impact similar to Tampa Bay’s standouts, especially the top line. Jamie Benn has yet to register a point in this series, while Alexander Radulov has gone five games without a goal and Tyler Seguin has managed just one assist in 12 outings. “We’re giving them the ice time,” coach Rick Bowness said. “They have to figure it out. It’s as simple as that.” After the second period, the Stars gave goalie Anton Khudobin – the victim of five goals on 29 shots – a mercy hook in favor of Jake Oettinger for the final frame, in which he faced just three shots. Radulov left the game midway through the third period after he tried to throw a check but missed and crashed into the boards. There was no update on his status.

Sputtering Jets look to change fortune vs. Colts Field Level Media

The New York Jets already are in disarray and the season is just two games old. The Jets look to escape their doldrums and record their first victory of the season on Sunday when they visit the Indianapolis Colts. New York (0-2) lost to the Buffalo Bills by 10 points and the San Francisco 49ers by 18 in their first two contests, and neither game offered even a glimmer of hope that a turnaround beckons. Quarterback Sam Darnold delivered a message in the aftermath of the poor start. “It’s clear who the leaders are on this team,” Darnold said. “Everyone is a leader in some aspect. Whenever anyone talks on this team, everyone listens. I think for us right now we need to do less talking and more acting.” But as the heat increases on the seat of second-year coach Adam Gase, not everybody is heeding Darnold’s plea. Safety Bradley McDougald and linebacker Avery Williamson criticized the

team’s practice habits, with McDougald saying “we’ve had some slow practices, and it correlates to the game.” Williamson said the team doesn’t start fast at practice and hasn’t been crisp, adding “sometimes, in practice, guys are missing tackles or we’re not doing things right.” Gase said he was surprised by the critiques and that practice intensity can be ramped up. Certainly, something has to change with New York allowing 29 points per game. Safety Marcus Maye pondered the game performances and said they are “not up to par, it’s not what we preach.” Maye has a team-high 17 tackles and shares the team lead of two sacks with defensive tackle Quinnen Williams. Linebacker Jordan Jenkins was perhaps the most vocal in his assessment of the 0-2 start. “I’m going to keep it blunt: Honestly, we haven’t shown progress,” Jenkins said. “It’s rinse and repeat for the last two games. We’re either going to keep getting embarrassed or we’re going to respond. “We’ve got to get it right. This

has to stop.” Putting things together against Indianapolis could be a real challenge. New York ranks last in the NFL in total offense (265.5 yards per game) and 31st in scoring offense (15.0). The Colts (1-1) are coming off an impressive 28-11 victory over the Minnesota Vikings and lead the NFL in total defense (208.0 yards per game) and rank eighth in scoring defense (19.0). The Indianapolis defense was superb against the Vikings while limiting the club to 175 yards and frustrating quarterback Kirk Cousins all game long. Cousins was 11-of-26 passing for 113 yards with three interceptions and never looked comfortable. “The defense is always predicated on the principles of hustle, the intensity and taking the football away, and then being smart situationally, and that’s been the foundation since we’ve been here,” third-year Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus said. “And I thought the players did a good job of executing the game plan, paying attention to detail and executing those

foundational traits that we have in our defense.” New Colts quarterback Philip Rivers is still feeling his way around the offense despite completing 77.5 percent of his passes. The 38-year-old has more interceptions (three) than touchdown passes (two) while compiling 577 yards. Rivers is one scoring pass away from becoming the sixth player in NFL history with 400 career touchdown passes. But with the Colts running the ball 40 times against Minnesota and controlling the ball for 38 minutes, 25 seconds, Rivers was hearing chatter about being a game manager. “I’ve always felt like the term ‘game manger’ is seen as a negative,” Rivers said. “I don’t think it’s a negative. Sometimes I think that is whatever the quarterback’s job is. Sometimes a quarterback’s job is to sink it and throw it all over the field and find a way to lead a two-minute drive. Sometimes it’s to hand it off and not turn it over and get everyone lined up and handle motions and make a few checks here and there. If that’s the term ‘game manager,’ and

that’s what (Sunday) was, it was a heck of a lot of fun.” Rookie Jonathan Taylor rushed for 101 yards on 26 carries against the Vikings and figures to receive a lot of work again. Indianapolis suffered a key injury loss against the Vikings when safety Malik Hooker went down with a season-ending Achilles injury. Receiver Parris Campbell (knee) also was hurt and was placed on injured reserve. Tight end Jack Doyle (knee) is expected to miss his second straight game. Also missing practice Wednesday were linebacker Matthew Adams (ankle) and cornerback Rock Ya-Sin (illness). New York is expected to be without receiver Breshad Perriman (ankle) and center Connor McGovern (hamstring). The Jets are hoping wideout Jamison Crowder (hamstring) will return, though he sat out Wednesday’s practice. Also sitting out were cornerback Quincy Wilson (concussion) and defensive lineman Steve McLendon (non-injury).

Warring kids are barriers in couple’s relationship Dear Abby, I got married to a wonderful guy 14 years ago, but after a year of marriage, our children (his 10-year-old and my 12- and 13-year-olds) couldn’t stand one another and caused a lot of problems. I was brokenhearted when he gave me divorce papers. I moved out but conDEAR ABBY tinued to date him without our kids around. Seven years ago, after his son moved out, I moved back in, but he won’t ask me to remarry him. My kids get along fine with him, but his son hates me and refuses to come to any holiday or birthday celebration that I host. Should I move out and move on? I feel like I have wasted 14 years of my life. Hopeless In Ohio

JEANNE PHILLIPS

I wish you had mentioned why this “wonderful guy’s” son hates you. Could it be he blames you for the failure of his parents’ marriage, or was it something else? That this man has allowed his son to dictate how the two of you will spend your lives is very sad. Unless you can accept living with the status quo, the answer to your question is: Move on. Dear Abby, In 2014, I loaned a family friend $5,000. At the time, and ever since, I never asked the reason for the loan. Over time we lost touch. However, we recently reconnected and decided to go on a road/camping trip throughout the West. Three days in, we both realized it was a poor idea to travel together for an extended period of time. He has now become quite nasty and speaks ill of me. Should I write and request

payment of the loan or let it go? Out Of Pocket In Vegas If you had the forethought to put IN WRITING the fact you were lending this person money, you have a prayer of having the loan repaid. If you didn’t, you can try writing to this family (former) friend, but legally it won’t be worth the paper your letter is written on. If that’s the case, consider this an expensive lesson. Dear Abby, I have a very good friend I’ve known for 18 years. Without fail, every time we’re on the phone and she gets another call, she’ll say, “Oh, let me call you right back,” but she never does. Sometimes days will go by until I call her or she calls me, and then she acts like nothing happened. We could be in the middle of a conversation but she doesn’t call back. Or, she’ll call me while she’s driving somewhere and end the call when she has arrived at her destination. Is she a true friend? What should I say or do? After years of feeling unimportant in her life, it has really started to get to me lately. Not Finished In The East

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

CA-125 is a tumor marker most commonly used for ovarian cancer. Although not all ovarian cancers have a high CA-125 level, the measure of this marker can be useful in following women with ovarian cancer and in evaluating women with a possible ovarian mass. CA-125 is not specific for ovarian cancer. Many other conditions can increase the level. I could not find any reports of a vaccine causing a temporary increase in CA-125. One of the most common reasons for the CA-125 level to increase temporarily is menstruation, but there are others, including urine infection, diverticulitis and pneumonia. It’s possible it was the vaccine, but it also might have been some other condition that resolved on its own.

My son lost his spleen in an accident several years ago, and I understand his immune system is therefore compromised. I have never heard of, and can find no evidence of, transplanting a spleen. He is very conscientious in doing what he can to avoid exposure at this dangerous time, but I am wondering what he and others with his condition can do to further protect themselves.

Garfield

The spleen is an organ that removes damaged blood cells, but it is also an important part of the immune system, and acts as a kind of super lymph node — a place where white blood cells congregate and become activated. People without spleens are primarily at risk due to the immune system effects, as the liver takes over the job of removing worn-out blood cells. Spleen transplants have been tried, but are not likely to be successful as a single organ transplant. However, in people who are undergoing a multiple visceral organ transplant (stomach, intestine, pancreas, with or without liver), spleen transplants have been done successfully at the same time. You haven’t heard much about these kinds of transplants as they are quite uncommon compared with kidney, liver or heart transplants. People without spleens are particularly at risk from infections from bacteria with capsules, such as streptococcus pneumoniae and salmonella species. Whenever possible, people are immunized for encapsulated organisms (including haemophilus influenzae type B and neisseria meningitidis in addition to the pneumonia vaccines) before the spleen is removed. In people who lose their spleen to trauma, this is often impossible, so the vaccines are given at least 14 days after the spleen is removed. In addition to vaccination, I recommend a medical alert identifier (such as a wallet card or jewelry) with his information about the splenectomy, and he and his doctors should treat any fever over 38.3 C (101 F) as a medical emergency.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you know how to live your life connected in every way to the world around you without being sucked in to the kinds of negative whirlpools of attitude and activity that prove the downfalls of so many others who may be just as creative, just as sensitive and just as special as you. You are not the kind to fight other people’s battles for them, nor will you be drawn into a conflict where you do not have strong feelings one way or the other. You must always guard against looking upon the world from a sour, disapproving point of view; the more positive you can remain — despite all of the madness whirling around you at any given time — the more successful you will be and the more sound and lasting will prove your relationships.

Your longtime friend is inconsiderate. Rather than wait endlessly, call HER back the same day. And when you do, tell her exactly how her lack of concern for your feelings has made you feel. Do not, however, expect her to like it, because inconsiderate people rarely do when it is pointed out to them.

Could shingles vaccine have caused a spike in CA-125? I have a history of cancer with an elevated CA-125 level. Recently I had a shingles shot and soon thereafter, my CA-125 level was high. An extensive workup showed up nothing significant, and a repeat CA-125 level was back down to normal. Could the shingles shot have elevated my CA-125 level?
