NEW BALTIMORE — An Albany County man has been charged with rape following an investigation by two law enforcement agencies in Greene and Albany counties.

Gage A. Tubman, 23, of Ravena, was arrested by state police Tuesday and charged with third-degree rape, with an alleged victim under 17, a class E felony; third-degree sexual abuse, a class B misdemeanor; and acting in a manner to injure a child, a class A misdemeanor, Nevel said.

Tubman was arraigned in New Baltimore Town Court.

Following his arraignment he

was turned over to Town of Coeymans Police to face additional charges, Nevel said.

An order of protection was issued for the alleged victim.

Tubman was then arraigned in Coeymans Town Court on Tuesday on one count of thirddegree rape, a class E felony; and one count of endangering the welfare of a minor, a class A misdemeanor, Albany County District Attorney’s Office public information officer Cecelia Walsh said Friday.

The underage alleged victim in both the Greene County and Albany County incidents is the same person, Walsh said.

Tubman and the alleged victim also knew one another

prior to the incidents, Walsh said.

Police did not elaborate on the nature of their relationship.

Under state Penal Law, third-degree rape is defined as having sexual intercourse with someone who is incapable of consenting, being at least 21 years old and having sexual intercourse with someone who is less than 17 years old, or having sexual iantercourse with BILL WILLIAMS/COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA. someone without that person’s A Ravena man was charged with rape, following an investigation consent. in Coeymans.

Theories about what area of upstate New York will lose representation in Congress are purely speculative, officials said Tuesday, after initial U.S. Census data show greater population loss upstate, causing a hum about how elective districts will be redrawn for draft maps to be released next month.

New York will lose one seat in the state’s congressional delegation, bringing the total to 26 seats in the House of Representatives. Upstate New York is expected to sustain the loss based on population shifts identified in the most recent Census data, according to analysis Tuesday from the New York Public Interest Research Group.

“It’s probably a safe bet that upstate outside the Hudson Valley is going to lose political clout,” NYPIRG Executive Director Blair Horner said Tuesday. “Demography is destiny.

They have fewer people, and if you believe in representative democracy, that should be the case that areas with more population growth have an advantage.”

C-A mascot vote procedure hits snag

By Kate Lisa Columbia-Greene Media

COXSACKIE — The process for community members to select Coxsackie-Athens Central School District’s new mascot is in flux after concerns about student participation before school begins.

The district’s Liaison Committee spearheaded the process to choose a new mascot to represent Coxsackie-Athens, formerly home of the Indians, after the board of education voted June 18 to retire it amid controversy the mascot was derogatory to indigenous people.

The Rebranding Committee, comprised of students, staff and community residents will meet Monday to examine expanding the nomination and voting periods after multiple parents and student caregivers expressed concerns that people were unaware of the mascot change or opportunity to vote over the summer break.

More than 45 parents signed up to speak at Coxsackie-Athens’ regular school board meeting Thursday night to discuss a multitude of ongoing issues within the school district and larger community, including

the controversial mascot change.

“Can we give the kids an opportunity to have more investment in it?” Board of Education President Michael Donahue said Friday. “We want to make sure everyone has an opportunity.”

The first round of voting for a new mascot concluded Wednesday after it began on the district’s website Aug. 11. Second and final rounds of voting were slated to take place in September and tallied by the board See SNAG A2

— is also poised to lose at least one state Senate seat with the population shifts. The Legislature’s 150 Assembly districts are not expected to be dramatically impacted.

More than half of the state saw modest population losses, or saw decline in 39 of New York’s 62 counties, amassing to a total net loss of more than 5,000 residents throughout upstate from 2010 to 2020.

The population data reflect a continuing shift from upstate to downstate in terms of political power as the state’s Independent Redistricting Commission analyzes data to develop the new Congressional, Senate and Assembly political boundaries reflecting changes in the population.

Upstate New York could lose one state Senate seat, assuming mapmakers do not increase the number of Senate districts permitted under the state Constitution.

“That seat could be placed in New York City,” according to NYPIRG’s analysis.

The group’s analysis assumes mapmakers will develop election districts with mainly equal populations.

Mapmakers can draw state Senate districts with populations within a 10% range between the smallest and largest

Voters on cacasd.org this month ranked their first, second and third choices from 14 potential new mascots, including the Black Bears, Blue Jays, Blue Thunder, Coyotes, Cyclones, Eagles, Firebirds, Pride, Raptors, Rip Tides, Riverhawks, Storm, Sturgeon and Wolfpack.

A mother of a first grader and seventh grader in the district addressed the board Thursday against the impending mascot change.

“There was no reason to change the mascot and they did not listen to what the community had to say,” she said. “A majority supported keeping the mascot as is.”

The public forums held to discuss the mascot change this spring were not held fairly, she argued, adding a man who spoke against the change was muted and the people who supported the change were prioritized to share their opinions.

Some argued the dissenting decision should not have been

Commission co-executive directors Doug Breakell and Karen Blatt said in a joint statement Tuesday. “We just completed our listening tour learning about the many diverse communities that make New York State what it is today. The commission’s next steps are to work with our consultants to produce a draft redistricting plan to be released to the public by Sept. 15. We will then begin our constitutionally required public hearings later in the fall to receive feedback.

“Any speculation on the district lines for Congress and the state Legislature in the initial draft are just that.”

Counsel will first complete a Voting Rights Act analysis before proceeding with drawing new district lines.

NYPIRG’s analysis of where the state’s congressional and legislative districts will change is solely based on population growth and decline.

Upstate population growth is fueled by the Hudson Valley region, for example, which could determine which area of upstate will lose representation.

Analysis at this point, officials added, is impulsive speculation that may not come to fruition, depending on what the commission decides.

The number of counties that saw population declines from 2010 to 2020 continues to rise dramatically. The most recent census data show 1,640 U.S. counties suffered population losses, compared with 1,082

counties that saw losses from 2000 to 2010.

About 86.3% of 331 million Americans, or 285.6 million people, live in metropolitan areas, according to 2020 Census data, up from 84.3% of the 282 million Americans counted in the 2000 Census.

Urban areas increased nearly 48 million people, compared to growth of 1.1 million people in rural areas, according to census analysis from Protect the Adirondacks.

In the last 20 years, for every 1 person that decided to move to, or get born in, a rural area in the U.S., 48 others made the opposite choice and aimed for life in a metropolitan area.

New York gained population at a rate of 4.2% from 2010 to 2020, topping 20 million residents for the first time in the state’s history. In 2020, New York totaled 20,201,249 residents, up from 19,378,102 in 2010 — a gain of 823,147 new residents.

New York is one of seven states to lose representation in Congress with the 2020 census data.

If New York had counted 89 more residents, it would not have lost a seat.

NYPIRG’s analysis of demographic data was compiled by the Center for Urban Research at The Graduate Center/CUNY, which documents possible changes in state Senate and Congressional representation.

addressed while the state and nation battle COVID pandemicrelated rules, regulations and other difficulties.

Jeanne Oliveira voiced support for the need to change the mascot, but agreed the process should occur during the school year to maximize student input and community participation.

Oliveira attended Siena College in Loudonville when its mascot was changed from the Indians to the Saints.

“I realized that having a half-naked white man running around at basketball games dressed in the stereotypical Indian attire, complete with a headdress may not have been the most respectful, so it was changed,” she said. “What I don’t like is that nominations were accepted and then voting on the nominations were conducted completely over the summer. Summer is the time people are least on the lookout for important things like this nomination should have commenced in September.”

Oliveira encouraged officials to clearly define the criteria to accept nominations on the survey and conduct the first round of voting in October. Additional

time will help community members without children enrolled in Coxsackie-Athens to hear about the vote.

The criteria outlined on the original nomination form required mascot names be forward-thinking, respectful of diversity, representative of the community’s history and geography, original and unique, promote energy and school spirit, able to be paired with the current school colors, blue and white and not represent a person or group of people.

Several members of the school board noted the process should be expanded so the new mascot is selected with as much community input as possible.

“It’s not a concrete process — basically, we want people to have the opportunity to participate and kids to have the opportunity participate,” Donahue said. “That’s the investment — that they are a part of it.”

The board’s June decision was met with widespread controversy after months of public debate about the mascot being derogatory to indigenous people while opponents argued the Indians represent the district’s heritage, and is intended to be a

positive symbol of strength and determination.

Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction Kerry Houlihan and school officials continue to work with the county historian, a representative from the Stockbridge-Munsee Community, and others to supplement the K-12 curriculum to educate students about indigenous peoples who originally inhabited the land where the district resides.

Houlihan is developing a curriculum for a spring elective for high school students to be written around January. The spring semester begins in early February.

Other teachers plan to incorporate the lessons in a history wall, nature walk and other field trips to bolster the teachings about indigenous populations for all grade levels.

To submit public input on the mascot change or voting process, call the district office at 518-731-1710, email boardofeducation@cacsd.org or attend a meeting in person.

The board of education will next meet at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 16 in the high school library.

populations.

It’s a common trend: For years, upstate New York’s population has stagnated while the New York City area, its suburbs and the Hudson Valley area continue to swell.

The state’s 10 downstate counties grew a 828,352 additional residents combined in the lower Hudson Valley, including Orange, Rockland and Westchester counties; New York, Richmond, Bronx, Queens and Kings in New York City; and Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island.

New York City gained 628,682 New Yorkers in the last decade, according to census data.

“The trend is the same,” Horner said. “The upstate population outside of the Hudson Valley stagnates or declines and political power shifts south.”

The census population breakdown, typically released in April, but delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has inspired a number of impulsive assumptions about how the state’s congressional and legislative seats may be redrawn, or eliminated.

The 10-member commission will finalize criteria with independent line consultants in the coming weeks before draft maps are released by Sept. 15 “For the first time in the history of New York state, an independent commission will be responsible for drawing the state and federal election district lines,” Redistricting

Courts in two U.S. states issued preliminary wins to advocates pushing for requirements that students wear masks in school, but the underlying issue is set for further legal review.

The Texas Supreme Court in a one-sentence order Thursday rejected Governor Greg Abbott’s request for quick action to stop localities from imposing mask mandates in schools.

The ruling forces the governor, who is currently quarantining after testing positive for coronavirus, to go through the appellate court before seeking action from the state supreme court. The same court had previously upheld his ban on local mask mandates.

In Florida, another state where the governor is seeking to stop school mask mandates, a judge on Thursday denied a request to throw out a lawsuit

challenging that ban. Further hearings will be held next week in Florida’s Second Judicial Circuit in Tallahassee.

The rulings are the latest in a flurry of lawsuits that have come as the school year begins amid a surge of coronavirus cases, driven by the delta variant, across many parts of the U.S. Some Republican governors have called mask wearing a matter of personal responsibility rather than a government requirement. Earlier this week, President Joe Biden directed his education secretary to take steps -- including legal action -- to counter governors who have prevented schools from requiring children to wear masks.

A dozen states now require students in kindergarten to 12th grade to wear masks, while another handful bar such mandates. Litigation is underway in at least five states, as more children are sent to

hospitals with the highly contagious delta variant.

The Texas Education Agency yesterday said it would not enforce the governor’s executive order banning local mask mandates “as the result of ongoing litigation. Further guidance will be made available after the court issues are resolved.”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican seen as a possible presidential candidate in 2024, says parents must be allowed to opt out of mask rules in schools for any reason. Public health officials have said mask mandates are less effective when they aren’t mandatory.

C-A parents air realignment grievances

By Kate Lisa Columbia-Greene Media

COXSACKIE — Frustrated and concerned parents in the Coxsackie-Athens School District spent hours sharing their suggestions with school officials Thursday about the proposed reconfiguration of elementary school grades as discussions continue through the fall.

The Coxsackie-Athens Central School District held the first of several forums Aug. 3 to discuss the proposal to send all students in pre-Kindergarten through second grade to attend E.J. Arthur Elementary School in Athens and all third and fourth graders would attend Coxsackie Elementary School on the main campus in Coxsackie.

“I do not support reconfiguration and neither does the community,” said Shpresa Elshani, a district mother of two.

“I do not want my child on a bus

for 30-plus minutes with no bus monitor on the bus with older children subjected to inappropriate language and bullying.

“Not to mention, they will be starting the school day earlier as well.”

School officials and the superintendent will continue to listen to parents and community members about their questions, comments and concerns in additional forums throughout the year to make an informed decision, Board of Education President Michael Donahue said.

Dozens of parents spoke for several hours at the district’s regular board of education meeting Thursday about the proposed district reconfiguration, airing concerns that the pandemic caused enrollment numbers to increase so class sizes will swell so one-onone instruction would suffer, about young children riding

the school bus farther and longer, preserving the district’s history and avoiding more disruptions for students as difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic persist.

No changes will be implemented for the 2021-22 school year.

“We’re going through the information-gathering stage,” Donahue said Friday. “What might this look like? Is this something that we can do? Is this something that people are in favor of and why or why not?”

Reasons for regrouping the schools include declining enrollment, addition of a

pre-kindergarten program and the desire of teachers to be under one roof at the same grade level, District Superintendent Randall Squier said in June.

Another forum about the reconfiguration is expected to take place at the end of September. A date has not been set.

The board has not announced a date it will vote on the decision.

“We really want to be deliberate,” Donahue said. “This is something that impacts a lot of people and we want to hear how it’s going to impact them and how they feel about it, and what the rationale for even doing it

is and to try to convey some of those concerns.”

Several parents and caregivers of students Thursday also expressed their opinions about requiring children to wear face masks while in school as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.

To submit public input on the mascot change or voting process, call the district office at 518-731-1710, email boardofeducation@cacsd.org or attend a meeting in person.

The board of education will next meet at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 16 in the high school library.

OUR VIEW

Local film industry gets unexpected lift In late March 2020, the film industry shut down as the coronavirus pandemic closed studios and sent moviemakers into forced exile.

Over the intervening months, there have been a few hits (“Godzilla vs. Kong,” “F9” and the current “Free Guy”), but many more pictures like Disney-Marvel’s “Black Widow” have underperformed at the box office.

With the blockbuster in at least temporary retreat, small films are doing well, and that’s where Greene and Columbia counties enter the picture.

The Hudson Valley and the Twin Counties are back in the action. According to a post by the Hudson Valley Film Commission, the

second quarter of 2021 — April to June — was the busiest the commission had seen in 21 years with 15 projects in the region.

Estimates for the third quarter indicate production resulted in more than 70 days of work, over 1,000 part-time jobs and 12,000 room nights — an estimated $25 million in direct spending. That total, for the record, is equivalent to the opening-weekend box office take for “Black Widow.”

In this area, the pandemic proved to be an unexpected boost in the film-and-TV economy.

Greene County Tourism Director Heather Bagshaw said the pandemic played an interesting role in the

increase in productions this year.

“The pandemic put a stop on all production,” Bagshaw said. “Now, there’s a lapse in sort of new movies, series, videos — whichever type of genre the film is, and so now is kind of crunch time to get as many of these things filmed and out into the theaters and streaming platforms.”

In other words, more outlets to showcase films and TV series equals more films and TV series. That’s good news for producers looking for inexpensive alternatives like Greene and Columbia counties to stand in for more costly locales. The cameras are rolling again.

ANOTHER VIEW

A series of cybersecurity disasters has us finally paying proper attention (c) 2021, The Washington Post ·

The bipartisan Cyberspace Solarium Commission released its initial report in 2020 in an attempt to prevent the looming possibility of “cyber 9/11.” No catastrophe of that magnitude has occurred. Instead, the United States has been treated to a series of smaller disasters - and every one of which has made the urgency of the recommendations clearer.

The recently published inaugural progress review from the commission helmed

by Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, and Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., comes after a year during which cybersecurity became the subject of widespread national concern. The coronavirus pandemic kicked workplaces and schools onto the web; the revelation of the SolarWinds supply chain hacks revealed government agencies’ vulnerability; the rash of ransomware attacks on entities from oil pipelines to meat processors to small-town hospitals proved the consequences of inaction in real time. All this bad news has led to some good news: Finally, elected officials are paying attention.

The commission’s members take care in their write-up not to declare “success” where success can’t be really measured.

It’s hard to know, after all, what wouldhave-been salvos were repelled or deterred. Look at major legislation, however, and cybersecurity is woven throughout: The National Defense Authorization Act packed in several of the original report’s recommendations for building resiliency, including a plan to ensure economic continuity after critical incidents, as well as a

now-fulfilled mandate for the president to install a national cyber director. The American Rescue Plan gave $650 million to beef up the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and the bipartisan infrastructure bill has $1 billion in grants for state and local governments to improve their defenses.

These are all progress, but they are also only pieces of a puzzle whose shape isn’t fully formed. President Joe Biden’s administration has signaled a national cyber strategy is forthcoming. That’s essential.

The executive and legislative branches should view cybersecurity through the lens offered by the commission, which describes a “layered” approach to defense.

The country must deny bad actors the benefits of a successful attack, and it must also impose costs on those actors through military and legal tools alike. The last layer is less obvious but important: We must shape behavior in cyberspace by banding with allies to create a clear set of norms and consequences for those who violate them. The Cyber Diplomacy Act passed by the House of Representatives would enhance State Department capabilities to achieve that goal. A new working group involving the United States, Japan, India and Australia is a promising step.

The country, as the commission assesses, is finally crafting some tools for robust cybersecurity. The key will be viewing these tools not as ad hoc responses to problems as they arise, but rather as a means for building something bigger and more resilient.

Why Californians might trade Gavin Newson in for Larry Elder LOS ANGELES — Slightly more than a month since Larry Elder became a Republican candidate to replace Democrat Gavin Newsom as California’s governor, the electorate that in 2018 elected Newsom is already voting on whether to truncate his term by a recall vote. Elder’s campaign is a one-man band.

Newsom’s is primarily big battalions: government employees unions focused on preserving their parasitic relations with government.

Under a two-step process, Californians can take a mulligan, voting to remove an official they recently chose, and simultaneously electing a replacement from an array of self-selected candidates. If Newsom, 53, loses in the first step — voting ends Sept. 14 — Elder, 69, is heavily favored to win the second. Recall election polls, which depend on guesses about turnout, show the firststep vote within the margin of error.

From his house high in the Hollywood hills, with a glass wall providing a panoramic view of the city, Elder, clad in jeans and an open-collar shirt, is a picture of relaxation. After 27 years blanketing California with talk radio, he campaigns using that medium, a smattering of television and all forms of social media to spread an orthodox conservative-libertarian message. Newsom’s message is that Elder’s “assault on California values” risks upending progress. Well.

California has the nation’s highest cost-of-living-adjusted poverty rate and one-third of the nation’s welfare recipients.

In 2020, when home building increased 6.1% nationally, in California, where regulations have congealed construction, home building declined 3.7%.

In Texas, the median price of a home is 3.5 times the state’s median household income; in California, it is almost 10 times.

The median home price in San Antonio is $226,665; in L.A., $898,692. The state has more

GEORGE F.

WILL than half the nation’s unsheltered homeless.

A Californian earning $58,000 annually pays a marginal tax rate double that of an Arizonan earning $500,000.

California lost a net 70,000 residents in 2019, and in 2022, for the first time ever, it will lose a congressional seat. California’s native-born population has been declining since the 1990s. Migration from the state has increased every year but one since 2011. In the past decade, 687,000 Californians have moved to Texas.

Of the nation’s 10 largest school districts, only in Los Angeles’, the second largest, have students gone an entire year without in-school instruction. Even before covid-19, only 30% of eighth graders (19% of Hispanics, 10% of Blacks) read proficiently, with comparable numbers for math. To finance the demands of government employees unions, California has the nation’s highest sales tax and gasoline tax (triple the national average). Soaring energy prices, partly a result of quixotic attempts to fine-tune the planet’s climate, inhibit the creation of industrial jobs.

Hence, many who are fleeing the state are under 35 with annual household incomes under $50,000. Among the nation’s 53 largest metropolitan areas, San Francisco and Los Angeles rank 52nd and 53rd in birthrates.

Since 2010, California’s median age has risen 50% faster than the rest of the nation’s.

Newsom would have to be a prodigy of perversity to have

made this mess more than slightly worse since 2018. He should be removed not because he is remarkable but because he is banal — a fungible cog in a typical blue state political machine.

Elder’s constituency consists of the dissatisfied. Newsom’s base, those government employees unions, are government lobbying itself to do what it wants to do: expand. Progressives want to discredit Elder, but because he is Black, their explanation of everything — “systemic racism” — is unhelpful.

He rose from South Central L.A. to Brown University and the University of Michigan Law School, practiced law and founded a search firm for attorneys, before finding his vocation: decanting into millions of listeners the thoughts derived from Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, William F. Buckley Jr., Daniel Patrick Moynihan and others.

The pandemic, having concentrated minds on the power of teachers unions to prevent teaching, has opened many minds, especially among California’s Hispanic plurality, to Elder’s plans for schools: Public education money would flow to parents, who could spend it on public or private schooling. And unions could no longer protect the incompetent 5% (a conservative estimate of 15,000) of the state’s 300,000 public school teachers. In the previous decade, about two teachers a year (0.0007%) were fired for poor performance.

Having altered the recall rules in June to schedule the vote quickly, Newsom belatedly recognized Elder’s strength.

His tampering with the process might end his governorship that began with a boast that was an inadvertent warning: “California is what America is going to look like.”

HUDSON — A Columbia County man is being held on felony charges following an incident on Tuesday that ended with a Hudson police officer injured and a city police car and the police station damaged, Hudson Police Chief L. Edward Moore said Friday.

Michael P. Kelley, 36, of Greenport, was charged with second-degree assault, and second-degree criminal mischief, both class D felonies, resisting arrest and third-degree criminal mischief, both class A misdemeanors, and third degree criminal tampering, a class B misdemeanor, Moore said.

Kelley is accused of becoming violent while being placed under arrest. Several officers

Michael Kelley

were kicked and a female officer sustained an injury to her hand, Moore said.

“I wish for the speedy recovery of my officer. She and her fellow officers were kicked, spit on and verbally abused, but kept their composure and contained a violent situation, “ Moore said.

Kelley attempted to kick the window out of the patrol car and caused damage to

the passenger door. While at the police station, Kelley also caused damage to the holding cell by repeatedly kicking the door, Moore said.

On Tuesday, at about 3:20 p.m. Hudson police received a report that a man was attempting to illegally remove his vehicle from an impound lot off Green Street. Police located Kelley on the 700 block of Columbia Street.

Before he was placed under arrest, officers learned Kelley had an outstanding warrant from the town of Catskill, for criminal mischief and assault charges, Moore said.

Kelley was arraigned in City of Hudson Court before Judge Brian Herman. He was taken to the Columbia County Jail, and held on $2,500 bail.

Kelley has the following cases that are pending in

court from previous arrests in Hudson: Second-degree criminal possession of controlled substance, third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, with intent to sell, both felonies, second-degree aggravated harassment, thirddegree assault and criminal obstruction of breathing.

Kelley is also facing felony charges for making a terroristic threat for allegedly threatening a Department of Social Service worker on the telephone in 2019. That case will be heard in Columbia County Court, Moore said.

Tropical storm Henri could strike Long Island, New England next week

By Brian K. Sullivan Bloomberg

Tropical Storm Henri is set to grow into a hurricane before slamming the U.S. Northeast anywhere from Long Island to Massachusetts, bringing heavy rain, a flooding storm surge and thrashing winds to the region starting Sunday.

Hurricane watches have been posted along Long Island beaches, as well as from Connecticut to Massachusetts, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said in an 8 a.m advisory. Tropical storm watches — in those areas further from Henri’s center — stretch from Fire Island to East Rockaway Inlet in New York and along the Connecticut coast west of New Haven.

While New York City is west of the track, tropical-storm strength winds could whip through the five boroughs starting late Saturday and linger through the day on Sunday, the National Weather Service said.

“The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from shoreline,” John Cangialosi, a senior hurricane specialist at the center, wrote in his forecast.

“The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast in areas of onshore winds.”

Henri will likely make landfall as a Category 1 hurricane

on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale Sunday, with winds from 80 to 85 miles per hour, the hurricane center said. It will then weaken to a tropical storm as it drives into interior New England and will likely be lingering in central Massachusetts Monday.

Winds could tear down trees, knock over signs and blow around debris, as well as damage smaller buildings across Long Island and New England, but parts of New York and New Jersey could also feel the effects, the weather service said. There is also a chance of isolated tornadoes as Henri moves over the regions.

The ocean could rise as much as 4 feet along Long Island’s shoreline and as much as 5 feet from Watch Hill, Rhode Island to Sagamore Beach on Cape Cod. In addition to the

surge, 2 to 5 inches of rain will likely fall across southern New England, with some areas getting up to 8 inches.

Landfall is likely near Providence, Rhode Island about 2 p.m. Sunday and then the storm will slowly track into central Massachusetts west of Boston, said Don Keeney, a meteorologist with commercial forecaster Maxar.

“That is not necessarily a good thing because the bad part of the hurricane is on its east side,” he said. “That isn’t going to bode well for Boston and Cape Cod.” While storms in New England tend to move quickly, Henri will slow down as larger weather patterns exert their influence. It will take nearly a day and half from the time it makes landfall to when it starts to move through Maine.

When it comes to food, what’s old is new again

By Dick Brooks For Columbia-Greene Media

I was in the supermarket the other day, making my daily visit, pushing the cart that they seem to reserve just for me.

It has a wheel that flutters as you push it down the aisle. It does serve a purpose since it alerts my fellow shoppers that they are about to be run over by a senior shopper on a mission. Actually, I’m rarely on a mission (a mission consists of searching for an item The Queen has requested), usually I’m just browsing.

I like the market, it’s a clean, well lit place to quote Mr. Hemmingway. He would have liked our little market, not only is it clean and well lit but it’s full of nice people and exotic goods from around the world. I spent some time in the produce aisle and checked out things like the mangos. I picked one up, it smelled good but I’m sure that the “Grown Locally” sign above them really didn’t apply to it. I put it back, having no idea how to eat the thing, but it was interesting to look at and hold. In fact there were a good many things there that I wouldn’t have even known were edible if I hadn’t seen them there. I imagine while I was making this observation that somewhere in this big world of ours, far far away, some old guy is staring at a head of cabbage or a bunch of broccoli and trying to figure out how to or why

WHITTLING AWAY

DICK

BROOKS someone would eat it.

I got to reminiscing about food in my youth. If it was meat, I knew it well. Usually I could tell you its name and family history. We raised a lot of our own food and got used to having this year’s pets be next year’s dinners.

I guess I hadn’t appreciated how well we ate and how healthy our diet was. I was raised on free range chickens and organic eggs. The chickens ate only organic foods.

We didn’t realize they were free range, we just thought we were letting them run around loose. The cracked corn we fed them had no growth hormones or pesticides. I’m sure the bugs and crawly things they ate were organic, probably low fat and sodium free too. Our beef came from grass fed cows, because grass was what cows ate in the summer and they ate dried grass called hay in the winter. Pork came from pigs fed an organic based food called “Slop” made from the finest kitchen scraps,

grain and water or raw milk all cooked together. Most of our milk was fresh from the cow, not pasteurized and certainly not homogenized. It had a thick layer of cream floating on the top which had to be stirred or shaken into the rest. Skim the cream off and you had skim milk — that no fat, blue milk you can still find in the market. The vegetables from our garden were all organic, they had holes in them and bugs crawling over them just like the finest organic foods to be found in the market today. The only fertilizer used to grow them was manure from the barn which was all natural and had come directly from the animal’s organs so it had to be organic.

All the foods that I ate growing up are still there in the market. They’re labeled “organic and all natural” and cost more then their unnatural and unorganic counterparts, but it’s nice to see them still around and brings back pleasant memories of my “Free Range” childhood.

Thought for the week — If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be “meetings.” — Dave Barry Until next week, may you and yours be happy and well.

How to safely get rid of pesky critters

By Bob Beyfuss

GARDENING TIPS

For Columbia-Greene Media

When I started working for Cornell Cooperative Extension back in the mid 1970s, I was told that under no circumstances should I pass on home remedies to clients looking for information. The reason, of course, was due to liability concerns. If I suggested a home remedy that either did not work or resulted in damage, the University could be held liable for my bad advice.

All the information I was allowed to share was based on scientific research conducted by universities, government agencies, or, more often by chemical companies trying to sell their products. When it came to making pesticide recommendations, I was told “The label is the law.” If a specific pest was not listed on the label of the product, it was a crime to use it on that particular pest. I almost lost my job early on when I jokingly suggested in one of my “Home and Garden” newsletters, that a live chicken could be used to clean soot and creosote from a chimney. I told readers to tie a rope around the chicken’s legs and pull it up and down the chimney. The birds flapping wings would effectively dislodge soot. A local poultry farmer did not see the humor in my comment and neither did the local PETA people.

Now that I am happily retired and not getting paid for my advice, I can suggest home remedies that may or may not work and let readers try them themselves, if they so desire.

This week I will pass on some home remedies that readers have suggested, or that I have used myself.

Perhaps the most common pest control questions I receive in recent years are concerning “critters.” Deer have become a major nuisance throughout the region, particularly in suburban areas. One reader suggested a

BOB

BEYFUSS remedy that others have tried and found to be quite effective.

Beat two raw eggs, mix with a cup of milk and allow the mixture to turn rancid in an outdoor bucket or pail. Add a gallon of water and a few drops of dishwashing liquid. Mix well, strain out the solids and spray on your landscape plants. This mixture works quite well for weeks until it eventually gets washed or weathers off. Some people will add some crushed garlic to the mix which may offer additional protection against other critters.

Chipmunks also are common pests and they are indeed hard to deter. One reader was having problems with them climbing into her hanging baskets of petunias, where they chewed through the flower stalks. She tried putting garlic in the baskets, but the chipmunks were unfazed. Next she tried putting sprigs of lavender in the basket and that seems to have done the trick. I would love to hear from other readers about this technique. I much prefer the fragrance of lavender to garlic.

Most people know that deer ticks may spread Lyme disease and other serious illness, but fewer people know that the ticks must acquire the pathogens from small rodents, like mice. It is these small, mammal, rodents that maintain and pass on the disease causing agents to their offspring.

Newly hatched ticks acquire the pathogens in their first blood meal and carry them into their nymph and adult

stages, when they are more likely to feed on humans. The repellent “Permethrin” is very effective at both repelling and killing ticks. If you save cardboard tubes, such as from toilet paper or paper towels and stuff them with cotton balls that have been sprayed with permethrin, (wear gloves) mice will often use these cotton balls as nesting material, thus killing ticks. One reader reports that this practice has essentially eliminated deer ticks on his immediate property. He leaves the tubes anywhere that mice might nest such as in his attic, sheds, basement and other outbuildings.

Those of you who grow phlox or zinnias, or hollyhocks, know that powdery mildew, a fungal disease, can devastate these as well as many other ornamental and even food crops. Mixing two tablespoons of baking soda with a teaspoon of salad oil, plus a few drops of dishwashing detergent and adding a gallon of water, make a very effective, protectant, fungicide that can be sprayed on susceptible plants before infection occurs.

Nobody likes having a skunk nesting under a shed, porch, or outbuilding. Since skunks are generally nocturnal, the solution often involves sealing the entrance when the skunks are outside. To insure that you do not seal them inside, accidentally, spread some flour on the ground where you think the animal is getting in and out. Go out at night looking for their tell-tale tracks, leading away from the structure and seal the entrance point.

Finally, to find out where bats may be getting in and out of your attic, put several bright lights in the attic at night and look for where the light is escaping. Seal the openings at night when the bats are outside.

Girl Scouts of Northeastern New York announces new Girl Scout Badges ALBANY — Girl Scouts of Northeastern New York (GSNENY) announced that Girl Scouts USA has added 28 new Girl Scout Badges to inspire the next generation of strong female leaders.

Focusing on entrepreneurship, math in nature, and digital leadership, these new badges will involve activities Girls complete to earn them that will spark their imagination while inspiring them to change the world.

Girl Scout awards and badges have always been a way for a Girl to explore her interests and learn new skills.

They are also a way for her to remember every adventure she has had and to show the world what she’s accomplished.

The new badges fall under one of the following three categories: Math in Nature (grades K-5): The Math in Nature Badge will get Girls outdoors to explore and conserve the natural world as they learn math concepts. Some activities that will earn Girls badges include discovering shapes and patterns in natural objects, learning about symmetry and tessellation, and mastering time and measurement theories. Girls will then get to use this newfound knowledge to design nectar feeders, trail maps, and more.

Cookie Business (grades

K-12): The Cookie Business Badge will help Girls think like entrepreneurs as they run their own cookie business and incorporate online sales and the Digital Cookies Platform throughout their work. The badges in this category progress from goal setting, to working as a team, to effective sales pitching both in-person and online, and implementing business plans and digital marketing campaigns.

Digital Leadership (grades K-12): The Digital Leadership Badges will allow Girls to explore the role of a digital leader. They will learn how to be online in a responsible, safe, and positive way. To do this they will learn about managing well-being; how to balance time; and how to navigate online misinformation, clickbait, and biases in advertising. Through these badges Girls will discover how people use technology to connect, build community, and lead to then use these skills to create impact and become digital leaders themselves.

Local volunteers and blood donors needed POUGHKEEPSIE — Many weather experts predict a destructive wildfire and hurricane season this year. The American Red Cross needs volunteers to help on the ground and blood and platelet donors to roll up a sleeve to maintain a stable blood supply in the face of emergencies.

The Red Cross needs new volunteers to support disaster shelters. Volunteers will help with reception, registration, food distribution, dormitory, information collection and other vital tasks inside disaster shelters. Both entry- and supervisory-level opportunities are available.

The Red Cross also needs volunteers who can work in disaster shelters to address people’s health needs and provide hands-on care in alignment with their professional

licensure (registered nurse and licensed practical nurse/ licensed vocational nurse).

Daily observation and health screening for COVID-19-like illness among shelter residents may also be required. We have both associate and supervisory level opportunities available.

If you are an RN, LPN, LVN, APRN, NP, EMT, paramedic, MD/DO or PA with a current and unencumbered license, this position could be right for you.

Local Disaster Action Teams provide 24-hour emergency response to local disasters, particularly home fires, ensuring that those affected have access to resources for basic necessities such as food, shelter and clothing. If you are teamoriented and want to help your neighbor, the DAT responder may be just the thing for you.

Last year, the Eastern New York Region provided immediate emergency assistance to 1,360 families after nearly 700 home fires and other disasters. If you want to make a difference and are interested in helping your community should a disaster occur here at home or across the country, visit redcross.org/ volunteer.

Eligible donors can help overcome the critical need for blood and ensure blood is readily available by making an appointment to give by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1800-733-2767) or enabling the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device.

Lindor, Baez practice as double-play partners Deesha Thosar New York Daily News Francisco Lindor and Javier Baez worked out together at shortstop and second base, respectively, at Dodgers Stadium on Thursday. That double-play duo could be starting games together as soon as the Mets’ next homestand.

“So much energy,” manager Luis Rojas said of Lindor and Baez. “Those two guys are looking really good.”

Lindor and Baez are childhood friends, born one year apart in Puerto Rico. The Mets planned for Baez to play at shortstop while Lindor (strained oblique) recovered on the IL, and then eventually

Javier Baez (23) of the New York Mets reacts after injuring himself on a swing against the Philadelphia Phillies during the fifth inning of a game at Citizens Bank Park on August 8 in Philadelphia. Rich Schultz/Getty Images

Time is running out for Severino to return to Yanks this season

move him around the infield.

Then Baez also hit the injured list with back spasms, but the team expects him to be activated when he’s eligible on Sunday, or shortly after.

Now it sounds like both Lindor and Baez could come off the IL around the same time -- when the Mets return to Citi Field on Tuesday from their seven-game road trip against the Giants and Dodgers.

Lindor will take over his starting position at shortstop, while Baez will shift to second base.

“They joke about probably switching in the middle of the game,” Rojas said laughing.

“One playing short and the other one playing second.”

But where does that leave Jeff McNeil?

The second baseman is no stranger to serving as a utility option for the Mets. McNeil was called up to the big leagues in 2018 and has stayed in the majors ever since. But his career games (330) total just two seasons, with last year’s 60-game schedule impacting that number. Across those parts of four seasons, McNeil has played second, third, left field, and right field for the Mets. This year though, with Robinson Cano serving his season-long suspension for PEDs, McNeil has played 72 of his 82 games at second base.

McNeil’s usual defensive

position will soon change. The team is expected to shift him to third base and left field when Baez and Lindor both return.

Rojas said of McNeil at third: “He’s worked really hard there.”

The Mets have not considered playing Baez at third base.

The team is attracted to the defensive possibilities of Lindor and Baez up the middle, enough to shift McNeil over to the hot corner or the outfield.

J.D. Davis and Dominic Smith will also see their playing times impacted by the Linor-Baez double-play combo.

It will certainly be a new-look infield, as late as the final week of August, that has interesting and promising possibilities.

EXTRA PRECAUTION

Giants, Browns keep Barkley and Beckham Jr. off field and out of spotlight

Kristie Ackert New York Daily News

NEW YORK — There is not much clarity on Luis Severino’s latest setback or even if the right-hander will be back on a big league mound this year. Severino was shut down with shoulder tightness a week ago and an initial read of the MRI and second opinion confirmed that there is “no structural damage,” in the shoulder, the Yankees said. They aren’t saying, however, what actually caused the tightness that had Severino to shut himself down from a rehab start Aug. 12.

“We heard back on the second opinion, which agreed with the first opinion which said there was no structural damage there, it looked pretty good overall,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday before the series-opener against the Twins at Yankee Stadium. “When we go out West, he may or may not actually physically see the second opinion (doctor) and (let the doctor) get hands on him. But in the meantime, he probably won’t throw through this week. That’s something that we’re kind of monitoring day by day.”

Severino has not pitched in the big leagues since October 2019. He has pitched 20 1/3 innings since October 2018 and when he signed a $40 million contract extension with the Yankees. The 27-year old spent most of 2019 on the IL with a shoulder issue in spring training See YANKS B6 New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (26) during a joint practice with the Cleveland Browns at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus on Thursday.

CLEVELAND — The Giants and the Browns hid their feature attractions on Thursday.

Joe Judge held Saquon Barkley out of all joint drills and live periods with Cleveland Browns players, only letting his running back do individual work.

And Odell Beckham Jr. wasn’t even in uniform as part of his on-field, off-field schedule.

Both players are recovering from torn ACLs, but Beckham hasn’t even addressed the local Cleveland media yet during training camp.

It all adds up to a white-washing of what could have been a thrilling spectacle.

It was somewhat unexpected that Barkley did so little, too, considering Judge had

ramped him up to 7-on-7 participation with a non-contact jersey Tuesday in New Jersey.

Judge had also posited Tuesday that he would “see if there’s something else we can slide him into drill-wise” in Cleveland, although 11-on-11 against the Browns was never going to happen.

In the end, though, Judge said it simply wouldn’t have been as easy to control the Browns’ pace and caution with Barkley as it has been with the Giants’ defenders back home.

“We’re going to limit the contact at this point,” Judge said. “He’s definitely advancing in his rehab ... But3/8 going against another team in competitive drills, we don’t think that’s the smartest avenue for any of our players coming off of injury right now.

So we’re going to be careful with Saquon.”

Judge said, however, that while Barkley

would have done more if this had been a typical Giants practice, “it wouldn’t be 11on-11 contact, I can tell you that right now.”

The running back’s return to full health remains a slow and steady climb. Judge avoids trap Judge and Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski both attended Philadelphia’s St. Joseph’s Prep as freshmen quarterbacks before Judge transferred to Lansdale Catholic.

Judge was asked Thursday who the best quarterback was in the Philly Catholic League in the late 1990s. He said Brett Gordon of LaSalle. Asked who was second best, Judge shot back that Lansdale didn’t play in the Catholic League.

“But I appreciate the trap question,” he said with a smile.

Bills heading to Chicago with players returning Alex Brasky Batavia Daily News

ORCHARD PARK — The Bills are getting healthier as they get set to depart for Chicago, where they will meet the Bears in the two teams’ second preseason game on Saturday afternoon.

After missing last week’s win over the Detroit Lions, Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs will miss their second straight contest, but running back Zack Moss and left tackle Dion Dawkins are each slated to return for Buffalo this week at Soldier Field.

Moss is about a week and a half removed from a hamstring injury that forced him out of practice, while Dawkins

began camp in the COVID-19 protocol and was only recently welcomed back to the practice field.

“He has made significant progress, and he’s had a great attitude since coming back,” said Bills head coach Sean McDermott of Dawkins. “Within that running back position, we’ve got some injuries. So it’s how much of a load do we want to put on each guy, Zack in this case (who is) just coming back off the injury. I’ve listened to our trainers, and they feel he is in a good enough spot.”

McDermott recently said Dawkins, hospitalized during his recent bout with the virus, had a long way to go before returning to full strength. But it

seems as if the Bills franchise left tackle has taken a significant leap in just a few days.

“He’s made great strides,” added McDermott. “He will play in the game - how much remains to be seen.”

The same will be true for Moss, who the Bills will likely ease back into the offense on Saturday due to the nature of his injury. Hamstring tweaks can linger for any player, even more so for a running back.

“He’s had a good couple days here, so we’ll just see how many reps we want to give him,” said McDermott of Moss, who is also coming off of offseason ankle surgery. “The flow of the game sometimes dictates that.”

There is plenty to consider for a head coach when it comes to welcoming a player back from injury and easing him back into the lineup.

Along with where individual players are at in their recovery, McDermott cited health by position, overall team health and the pulse and vibe in the locker room all as items of concern when evaluating potential timetables for a player’s return.

“All of those things factor into where sometimes you just have to make in-course adjustments if you will,” said the Bills head coach. “So that’s why I want to take things one week at a time.”

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Yanks turn to unlikely heroes to collect seventh straight win Andrew Tredinnick The Record NEW YORK — After nearly everything seemed stacked against the Yankees this season, the tide seems to have turned in their favor.

In their series opener against the Twins on Thursday, the legend of Bronx native Andrew Velazquez grew larger and backup catcher Kyle Higashioka provided the pop for the Yankees offense.

The Yankees’ No. 7 and 8 hitters combined for four hits, 10 total bases, four runs and a stolen base to help them jump out to a six-run lead through four innings. They needed nearly all of that run support.

The lift from Velazquez and Higashioka helped the Yankees build a big enough lead to notch their seventh straight victory, defeating the Twins, 7-4, in the teams’ series opener in front of 30,019 fans at Yankee Stadium.

The winning streak is the Yankees’ longest of the season as they moved to 70-52 on the season. They remained one game ahead of both the Athletics and Red Sox in the American League Wild Card race and remained five back of the Rays in the AL East after they defeated the Orioles, 7-2 ,in a Thursday matinee.

Luke Voit made manager Aaron Boone’s decision to move him to the leadoff spot look good in the bottom of the third with a two-run double down the left-field line that made it 3-0. Anthony Rizzo tacked on another run as part of a four-run inning with a sacrifice fly.

The Twins offense began to simmer against Jameson Taillon in the top of the sixth, with a solo home run by Jake Cave and two-run double by Jorge Polanco.

Polanco made things a little

more interesting with an RBI single up the middle in the top of the eighth off Zack Britton to make it 6-4.

But Giancarlo Stanton cracked the Twins momentum with a solo home run -- his 20th of the season -- to right field in the next half inning. Bottom belting The bottom of the Yankees lineup was there to pack a punch on Thursday.

Velazquez continued to make the most of his time with his hometown team. He got the team’s offense into gear off Twins starter John Gant in the bottom of the third on a triple past a diving Nick Gordon in the right-center field gap. He came around to score on an RBI double by Higashioka.

One inning later with the Yankees leading 4-0, Velazquez collected a hit that careened off the leg of Twins reliever Danny Coulombe. Higashioka cashed in with a two-run home run inside the left-field foul pole that

made it 6-0.

Higashioka was 2-of-3 with a home run, double, three RBIs and two runs, while Velazquez was 2-for-3 with two runs and a stolen base.

Voit, Stanton and Joey Gallo were the only other Yankees to collect hits in the win. Gallo knocked a two-out double to right in the bottom of the fifth.

Taillon loses steam Things unraveled quickly for Jameson Taillon.

For five innings, he looked nearly unhittable. Then, he looked anything but in the top of the sixth.

He allowed just one hit in the first five innings -- a bloop single to Jorge Polanco in the first inning that was canceled out when Higashioka threw him out attempting to steal.

The 29-year-old righty sent down the next 14 in order with five strikeouts.

But in the top of the sixth, he gave up a solo home run to Jake Cave, followed up by a single by

Andrelton Simmons and backto-back doubles by Max Kepler and Polanco which made it 6-3.

Taillon was pulled in favor of Wandy Peralta after throwing just 81 pitches in 51/3 innings.

The big lead still enabled Taillon to improve his record to 8-4 on the season. Uneven bullpen Peralta picked up Taillon with a perfect 12/3 innings inlcuding a strikeout, but the Yankees’ next two arms allowed the Twins to stay within reach.

Britton allowed a one-out infield single to Andrelton Simmons and an RBI single to Polanco in the eighth that cut the Yankees’ advantage to 6-4.

After Stanton’s home run, Chad Green came on for the save and gave up a solo home run to Miguel Sano.

It was only the second earned run that Green has given up in his last eight games. He ended up nailing down his sixth save of the season with strikeouts of Brent Rooker and Ryan Jeffers.

Bauer accuser is denied restraining order; judge says she didn’t express boundaries during encounter Gus Garcia-Roberts The Washington Post LOS ANGELES — A California woman was denied a restraining order against Trevor Bauer on Thursday as a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled that the woman did not make clear to the star Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher her boundaries on rough sex during an encounter that left her hospitalized.

Judge Dianna Gould-Saltman agreed with Bauer’s attorneys that the woman had led him to believe she wanted to be choked unconscious and have “all the pain,” as the woman texted the pitcher at one point.

Gould-Saltman said that it’s accepted a woman should be believed when she says “no” during a sexual encounter. “So what about when she says yes?” the judge asked rhetorically.

While Gould-Saltman conceded that photos of the woman’s injuries she reviewed were “terrible,” and in other cases would result in a “per se condemnation” of the person who inflicted them, she found that the woman was “not ambiguous” about her desire for ever-rougher sex with Bauer and that he “couldn’t know the boundaries which [the woman] didn’t express to him.”

In her testimony this week, the woman said that during sex in May, Bauer choked her unconscious with her hair twice and she awoke to him punching her in her face, cheekbones, and vagina. The woman claimed that the force of Bauer’s assault left her unable to speak, or even to fully utter a safe word she had given him.

The woman, a self-described alcoholic who has been sober for less than two years, said she encouraged the rough sex because she blamed herself after an initial encounter in which he choked her unconscious and allegedly sexually assaulted her. “I just wanted to create another experience where I

could live up to what he wanted,” the woman had testified earlier in the week.

A forensic nurse examiner who studied and photographed her injuries shortly after the alleged assault testified as to bruises, swellings and lacerations on the woman’s face and head as well as the most significant bruise she had seen in her career on a subject’s vaginal area.

But Gould-Saltman suggested in her decision Thursday that any injuries suffered while the woman was conscious even if she were unable to tell him to stop - did not form a basis for a restraining order. “She testified that she wasn’t able to speak part of that time, but [Bauer] couldn’t know that,” Gould-Saltman said.

The judge also said that she found the accuser had been “materially misleading” in her court filing that requested a temporary order of protection, in which the woman claimed that Bauer had called or texted her “nonstop.” Gould-Saltman found that his calls to her after learning she had been hospitalized were to inquire as to whether she was okay.

The legal team for Bauer, who has been on paid leave since early July amid ongoing investigations by both Major League Baseball and the Pasadena (Calif.) Police Department, treated the judge’s decision as a significant victory.

Bauer’s lawyer Shawn Holley, who during the three-day hearing portrayed the accuser as a liar who plotted to publicize her claims to force Bauer into a large financial settlement, stood with the pitcher and read a statement to reporters outside the courthouse in downtown Los Angeles.

“While we have expected this outcome since the petition was filed in June, we appreciate the court reviewing all relevant information and testimony to

make this informed decision,” Holley said. Bauer, who earlier in the day avoided testifying in the hearing by indicating he would plead the fifth on all questions, said nothing to reporters and was then whisked away with his team in a Mazda.

The woman and her lawyers did not comment to reporters following the decision. Her attorney, Lisa Helfend Meyer, said in an emailed statement Thursday: “While our client is disappointed about the judge’s ruling, she is hopeful that Mr. Bauer will voluntarily seek the help he needs to make sure that no other woman in a dating relationship with him suffers the same traumatic fate that she did. That is why she was willing to come forward and endure the victim blaming from Mr. Bauer that she knew would inevitably result.”

The Washington Post does not name alleged victims of domestic violence unless they ask to be identified. The judge’s decision on whether the restraining order should be enforced for five years does not have any direct bearing on whether Bauer may still be criminally charged. MLB declined to comment on the decision, but within hours of it Thursday afternoon, an MLB official said that Bauer’s leave had been extended again, to Aug. 27, under an agreement with the players’ union.

On Thursday morning, Gould-Saltman decided that Bauer did not have to physically take the witness stand to assert his right against selfincrimination. The judge referred to the ongoing police investigation, saying that “anything that would be relevant to this case would be relevant to a criminal prosecution.”

When she asked Bauer whether he would plead the fifth when asked about anything “other than your name and occupation,” the pitcher

responded, “Yes, your honor.”

It was the only statement he made in court during the proceedings, which began in July and were continued until this week at the request of his attorneys.

Mets bats go quiet in loss to open series with Dodgers Deesha Thosar New York Daily News One night after snapping their five-game losing streak, the New York Mets were unable to build on that brief success by falling to the Los Angeles Dodgers, 4-1, on Thursday night to open a four-game series.

The Mets (60-61) have lost six of their last seven games to begin a 13-game stretch against the San Francisco Giants and Dodgers. They also fell a season-high five games behind the first place Atlanta Braves in the NL East.

“These things can build up and sometimes they can destroy a team,” said Mets manager Luis Rojas of the club’s mediocre stretch. “That’s where the leaders of the group, myself, have to come in and make sure that doesn’t happen. This is a big challenge that we’re going through right now and we gotta do this together.”

They’re certainly free falling together. The Mets are 13-21 since the All-Star break. Then, they were still sitting atop the division with a three-game lead. In the five weeks since the second half began, the Mets offense has the NL’s secondworst .398 slugging percentage. The rest of the weekend in Los Angeles will be all uphill.

The Mets are now 4-22 against the Dodgers in their last 26 meetings.

Taijuan Walker struggled in a pair of rough innings that allowed the Dodgers to put up a four-spot over the Amazin’s.

He led off the second inning by walking Corey Seager, and the Dodgers crowded the base paths to get a couple of runs home for an early lead. He allowed three more hits in the fifth before leaving his 23rd start of the year after six innings, registering four strikeouts on the night.

“I know it’s been tough,” Walker said. “We had a good win yesterday. We’re playing some really, really good teams right now. It’s frustrating for us. We want to go out there and win ballgames and we’re just not doing that right now. We’re trying to stay positive. I know the guys in the lineup want to produce.”

The Dodgers went with a bullpen game for the second

straight night and that was the best chance the Mets had to attack their pitching staff. Starting Friday, the Dodgers have one elite arm after another beginning with Walker Buehler, Max Scherzer then David Price.

But facing Los Angeles’ relief arms, a strong unit with the fourth-best bullpen ERA (3.37) in baseball, proved to be challenging for an Amazin’s offense with the third fewest runs scored (3.8) per game. Seven Dodgers pitchers combined to limit the Mets to one run on six hits over nine innings.

“That bullpen over there is electric,” said Davis.

Even when the offense had its best opportunity to create a rally in the top of the fourth, they made a silly mistake on the basepaths to sabotage their chances.

J.D. Davis ripped an RBI double to the left-field corner to drive in Pete Alonso from first. When it was Dominic Smith’s turn to try and do damage, he lined a looper into the shift in right, and Davis was already rounding third when the ball was caught. Davis was picked off second base for the final out of the inning, killing the momentum and adding another mental mistake to a long list of them.

Davis, who has the highest OPS (.853) in the Mets lineup, looked on the bright side. Rather than thinking about Thursday’s loss as a missed opportunity to capitalize on a bullpen game, Davis said Los Angeles’ starters for the rest of the series will have to bring their A game.

The elephant in the room is: the Dodgers rotation, a staff with the best starter ERA (2.90) in baseball, could bring their D game and still beat the 2021 Mets lineup.

“They used all their bullpen today. They’re hurting a little bit in that bullpen,” said Davis. “So that puts a little more pressure on the starters to go out there and have a quality start against us. We know that in the back of our minds. Coming out tomorrow, I think one of the game plans off Walker (Buehler) is we’re going to try to grind out at-bats, get that pitch count up and get back into that bullpen. Get those arms back out there.”

Jets DE Lawson out for season with torn Achilles Bills Field Level Media New York Jets defensive end Carl Lawson is out for the 2021 season after tearing his Achilles during practice Thursday.

Lawson had to be carted off the field during the Jets’ joint practice with the host Green Bay Packers. The Jets announced his fate later Thursday after results of the MRI came back.

Compounding that was the news that safety Zane Lewis was carted off the field and sustained a torn patellar tendon and a sprained MCL. The Jets announced that he, too, will miss the season.

Lewis, an Air Force product who spent

the 2020 season on the team’s practice squad, had impressed in camp as he vied to make the roster as a backup.

Second-year wide receiver Denzel Mims and defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins are considered day-to-day after they, too, suffered injuries Thursday.

Mims, who had shown signs of breaking out since the preseason opener, left the field with an apparent leg injury.

Mims was limping heavily but reached the sideline under his own power.

Rankins also left the field with a knee injury. Rankins has been a training camp injury victim before with a broken leg

in his rookie camp with the Saints a few months after New Orleans drafted him 12th overall in 2016.

The Jets signed the 26-year-old Lawson in March to a three-year, $45 million contract that included a reported $30 million in guaranteed money.

A fourth-round pick by Cincinnati in 2017, Lawson posted 20 sacks, 81 tackles, 83 quarterback hits and two forced fumbles in 51 games (14 starts) with the Bengals.

He contributed 36 tackles, 32 QB hits and 5.5 sacks in 16 games (11 starts) last season.

‘It’s game time’: Richardson returns to racing Callie Caplan The Dallas Morning News

It’s impossible to know how Sha’Carri Richardson would have fared at the Tokyo Olympics had she debuted as the top American sprinter in the women’s 100 meters race.

Or is it?

This weekend, the 21-year-old Dallas native will get as close to a rematch as possible.

At the Prefontaine Classic on Saturday in Eugene, Ore., Richardson will race for the first time since she tested positive for marijuana at the U.S. track and field Olympic trials, received a 30-day suspension for the doping violation and was disqualified from the Olympic team.

At Hayward Field -- in the same stadium she wowed America two weeks before her suspension became public news -Richardson will run against a 100 meters field almost identical to the group she likely would have faced in Tokyo.

There will be the three Jamaican medalists: Elaine Thompson-Herah (gold), Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (silver) and Shericka Jackson (bronze). There will be three other Olympic finalists: Ivory Coast’s Marie-Josee Ta Lou (fourth), Switzerland’s Mujinga Kambungji (sixth) and American Teahna Daniels (seventh).

And there will be the chance for Richardson -- albeit on a smaller stage with Olympic redemption still three years away -- to prove her bold, brash, soaring stardom would’ve contended with the best this summer.

Richardson won’t discuss her return until a pre-meet press conference Friday, agent Renaldo Nehemiah said.

The session will mark her first media interview since she told NBC’s Today show in early July that she ingested marijuana at the trials to cope with the “emotional panic” of learning about her biological mother’s death.

Yanks From B1

which turned into a lat issue.

He tore the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow while pitching in the 2019 playoffs and had Tommy John surgery in March 2020.

He was making his comeback from the surgery, in his second rehab game, when he suffered a strained groin in June. He was ramping back up from that last week when he scratched himself from a scheduled start at Triple-A Scranton with tightness.

“It’s been a long road for Sevy and he’s worked so hard physically to get his body in position to be ready to do this,” Boone said, “and I feel

But Richardson hasn’t stayed quiet the last couple of months, even while half a world from her Olympic dream.

Soon after the first rounds of the 100 meters races finished in Tokyo, Richardson tweeted: “Missing me yet?”

After the final, she lauded the Jamaican sweep and “powerful, strong Black women dominating the sport.”

Richardson’s personal-best 100 meters time of 10.72 seconds, which she logged in April, would’ve ranked second in the Olympic final.

Thompson-Herah set an Olympic record with 10.61 seconds in her victory, breaking the longstanding mark of Richardson’s sprinting role model, Florence Griffith-Joyner. Fraser-Pryce, whom many expected to be Richardson’s top rival in Tokyo, finished in 10.74 seconds with Jackson (10.76) close behind.

Richardson almost assuredly missed at least another silver medal, too.

Though her suspension ended before Olympic competition started, USA Track and Field declined to include Richardson on its 4x100 relay team, which won silver -- 0.43 seconds behind the Jamaicans.

But Richardson didn’t push back or protest her suspension after the news cycle settled and the outcry from celebrities, politicians and fans quieted.

And her budding stardom didn’t disappear, either.

She starred in a Beats by Dre ad that doubled as a debut of Kanye West’s new song “No Child Left Behind” and premiered during Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

She prepared to also enter the 200 meters race at the Prefontaine Classic, which will include fellow American stars Allyson Felix and Gabby Thomas (Tokyo bronze medalist).

And she posted a TikTok on Wednesday to flash her hairstyle transformation -- from natural afro to extended blonde and blue waves -- and new mindset

like in a lot of ways, he’s physically in the best condition he’s ever been in. So I know he’s been frustrated, understandably by the setback he had first with the, with the leg and then now this.”

The window for Severino to pitch in the Yankees rotation this season is closing as well. Severino would need time to ramp up again to get back. That would likely include throwing on flat ground to work up to pitching off a mound. Then he would face live hitters and then possibly pitch in a rehab game. For injured pitchers the rehab has built in off days to see how they bounce back.

“I don’t know when he’s throwing the ball. And I don’t know when he’s back on the mound and things like that, and where we’re starting

before her return.

“I took some time off to rest,” Richardson mouthed in the clip, mimicking a Nicki Minaj speech. “And now it’s game time, expletive3/8.”

The two-month absence was rare for Richardson, who raced year-round in high school, winning eight state titles with Carter and running with DeSoto Nitro Track Club each summer. Then in 2019, she transitioned directly from her national-champion freshman year at LSU to the professional circuit.

But one stretch in Richardson’s past set precedent for a breakout after time off.

During her freshman year of high school, her youth coach and father figure, Byron Kirk, held her out of the Carter season while she healed a nagging hip injury.

Over months of their individual work together, Richardson refined her sprinting form because Kirk said she “used to run like a chicken,” trying to plant her feet down as fast as she could, rather than emphasizing the push off her back foot and extending her front leg on each stride.

She lifted weights to increase her explosivity as a 14 year old who barely measured five-feet tall because Kirk wanted her to “run like you’re six-feet tall and be as strong as if you’re trying to block a 300-pound dude who’s trying to tackle the quarterback.”

And she deepened her resolve to win after watching her peers compete and advance without her.

“When she came out of the gym and hit the track,” Kirk remembered of Richardson from her sophomore year on, “couldn’t nobody in the country beat her running.”

Could Richardson’s exclusion from the Olympics provide a similar motivation?

Viewers -- and her would-be Olympic rivals -- will find out soon.

from,” Boone said. It would probably be silly for me to speculate on that. I mean, if he’s throwing the ball by Monday and ramping up by then we’ll just see.”

Severino was 42-26 with a 3.46 ERA over parts of five seasons in the big leagues before the injuries hit. More hopeful injury updates Gio Urshela was on the field before Thursday’s game and is close to making a rehab game appearance, Boone said. The third baseman has been on the IL since Aug. 3 with a left hamstring strain.

“We’re hopeful he can start rehab by the end of the week, possibly Sunday,” Boone said.

Gleyber Torres, on the IL since Aug. 9 with a left thumb sprain, is getting close to starting some baseball activities again, which will give

the Yankees a better idea of a timeline for his return.

“I think the plan is to get a bat in his hand potentially, tomorrow or the next day to start swinging and stuff,” Boone said. “So that’ll be a big step and kind of see where we’re at from that point, if we can start ramping them up from there. So he is getting to the point where he should have a bat in his hand the next couple days.”

Also, reliever Clay Holmes, who has been on the COVID-19 IL since Aug. 11, was expected to return to the ballpark Thursday.

“I have not seen him but he is expected to be here today.

Hopefully throw a bullpen tomorrow and then be potentially activated by the end of the week,” Boone said.

From B1

Buffalo will continue to show patience with Diggs, who suffered, by all accounts, a minor knee injury, which has held him out of practice for over a week.

Diggs watched the Bills win over Detroit in a suit.

“We hope to get him back here in a more active role on the field at least in the next couple of days to the next week,” said McDermott of the team’s No. 1 wideout.

Allen is a disparate case as, although he suited up for the Lions game and remains healthy, his absence will be extended due to a coach’s decision. With that said, McDermott didn’t go as far as to rule Allen out for Buffalo’s final preseason game next week at home against the Green Bay Packers.

“We are going to continue to take it one week at a time because of the newness of the way the preseason has kind of been shaped,” said McDermott regarding this year’s abbreviated, threegame preseason slate. “We are just going to continue to evaluate it... so we’ll see what next week brings.”

Allen’s absence opens the door for backup QB Mitch Trubisky to start against his former team, which kicked him to the curb in the offseason. Chicago drafted Trubisky with the second pick of the 2017 draft, and he played four seasons with the Bears before they decided to move on from their former first-round selection.

Trubisky started 50 games in Chicago and accumulated a 29-21 record while throwing for 64 touchdowns and 37

Judge then joked that if people want to see it, he and Stefanski can settle who’s better on the field this week.

“Later on we’re going to have a punt, pass and kick competition with me and Kevin if you guys want to stay after,” Judge said with a laugh. “Tomorrow it’s a relay race.” The Judge Way When practice ended, the Browns players walked off the field toward their locker room, but Judge lined up the Giants’ players on the goal line and had them do conditioning sprints like it was any other day. Truth be told, the Giants’ entire tempo was at a higher speed than the Browns’ in the early individual portion of practice, too, with bodies constantly moving and no one standing still. Nicks and bumps Tight end Cole Hikutini appeared to hurt his foot or ankle while running a route in live drills and hobbled off with the trainers. Hikutini

interceptions.

Previously during training camp, Trubisky spoke about his time with the Bears.

“The point of this game is to win. Numbers are numbers, and stats are stats, but what I was trying to do was go out there and win games,” he said. “People are always going to have something to say about your journey and what everything goes to. Not everyone could’ve done what I did, and I’m proud of where I’m at now. “(Chicago is) a tough football town. But I went out there and won games, and I continue to get better.”

Following Trubisky’s exit, the Bears since signed free agent QB Andy Dalton and drafted former Ohio St. QB Justin Fields in the first round of this year’s draft.

Trubisky started last week’s win over the Lions and played the Bills’ first two series, the first of which finished with a field goal.

He completed his brief stint 1-for-2 passing with a 10-yard completion to tight end Dawson Knox.

Along with Diggs and Allen, McDermott said several more Bills starters are expected to miss Saturday’s game in Chicago. While he didn’t provide specifics, he did elaborate on what fans can expect to see on the field against the Bears.

“A number of the starters will not play - some starters will play,” said McDermott.

“So it’s more individually based at that point. I would say the large core of our guys who have been here a few years will not play.”

Wide receiver Austin Mack stepped up his workload slightly to individual work but didn’t participate in joint team drills ... Jabrill Peppers cramped up and left the field at one point, something that’s become a common occurrence in camp. “Trying to figure it out,” Peppers said ...

Former drug user looks for a way out of toxic relationship Dear Abby, I’m a 39-year-old woman in a toxic relationship with my boyfriend of almost seven years. We had a child together but lost custody due to drug use during my pregnancy. Even though we don’t have our son, and he treats me badly, I feel I have to stay with him because we have gone through so much together.

A couple of years ago, I got DEAR ABBY dentures because I ruined my teeth when I was using, and now I’m afraid no one will want to be with me because of them.

So I’m stuck in a relationship that isn’t good for me. It’s embarrassing to have dentures at such a young age, and I don’t know how I will be able to meet someone who can see past them and my drug history so I can be in a healthy relationship that I deserve. I feel like my only choices are to stay stuck in this toxic relationship forever or end up alone. How do I move past my insecurities so I can be happy for once?

You have successfully battled drug addiction, so you are clearly not unused to “challenges.” I applaud you for what you have accomplished, and others should respect you for it, too.

Please do not allow your fear of being alone to prevent you from taking another important step in reclaiming your life. You and I both know your abuser is not healthy for you. You have already invested too much time in him. If you rely on him for financial support, find a job. Make arrangements with friends or family so you can eventually save enough to live independently.

After you have left him, being alone does not necessarily have to be a bad thing. In your case it could be therapeutic. And once you are financially stable, consult a dentist or a school of dentistry about what options you might have

besides dentures. The only thing holding you back at this point is yourself.

Dear Abby, I am a 37-year-old mother of three, ages 13, 5 and 3. I’m married and own my home.

I am a new stay-at-home mom after having worked for 16 years at my last job. My kids are happy and healthy.

Any time I go to my parents’ house or they drop in on me for a quick visit, they have to “point out” that it is a mess or that my oldest is wearing jeans with holes in them. There’s always a negative comment, never a positive one. My oldest has started to notice. It makes it hard to spend time with my parents since the visit is never a happy one without nitpicking.

I’m wondering if I can say anything, and what to say.

I can’t even cut or color my hair without ridicule. My oldest got her nails done and there was a negative comment about that as well. A few years ago, there was a blowout between my mom and me over my son’s haircut. I’m at the point where I no longer want to go to their house, but I don’t want to keep my kids from them.

Annoyed In Idaho Say something like this to your parents: “I have noticed, and the children have started noticing, that when you visit you usually have something negative to say about me, my home and even them. It is hurtful and I want it stopped, because if it persists you won’t be invited.” And if it does continue, please remember it is your right as your children’s mother to buffer them from comments from their grandparents that make them self-conscious about their appearance.

By Stella Wilder Born today, you are rather easy to sum up in a few words: You want to be the best. Period. You will always do what you can to position yourself at the front of the line in order to benefit from whatever is available to you at any given time, and you will always work very hard to develop one or two key talents to the fullest in order to be not just competitive, but competitive in the upper echelons of whatever it is that you choose to do.

You’re likely to get stability from a home life that you build with care and foresight. You must have a place that you can go to recover from life’s battles, replenish your tremendous stores of energy and inspiration, and prepare for the battles to come. And you will depend, too, on family members to provide you with love, support and the perfect home environment.

Also born on this date are: Wilt Chamberlain, basketball player; Kenny Rogers, singer; Kim Cattrall, actress; Count Basie, musician; Aubrey Beardsley, artist; Melvin Van Peebles, actor; Clarence Williams III, actor.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 22 LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You can give others what they appear to need, but does that really get to the heart of the matter? You should be trying a different tactic.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You must pay attention to the rapid fluctuations of your budget at this time. Even the slightest variation can have a major impact.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You may not have

expected to spend quite so much within a certain time frame, but today you’re going to have to deal with the fallout.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-nov. 21) — Whether or not something was intended, its effects are going to be widely felt. You may want to hand the reins to someone else today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Enjoyment is a product of inspiration and perspiration today. The harder you work at a given task, the more it will satisfy you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You are in no mood to explain yourself today, but you may want to take the time to prove that your point of view is, for now, quite valid.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You can do things in a way that takes many by surprise — and you should enjoy it, for such unorthodox methods don’t always pay off like this.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You’re going to have more questions by day’s end than you do at the start, but that’s because you know much more about something than you did.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Assume nothing about a friend today, or you’re likely to cause a rift that will be quite difficult to heal. Take things at face value.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — By revealing what you know today, you’re bolstering your own reputation — but take care that you’re not also setting yourself up for failure.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You don’t have to sugarcoat the news today; tell it like it is. Others will respond best to you when they know you’re not pulling any punches.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You can get many things done in a hurry today, but take care that you don’t let things get out of hand. A couple of slowdowns are useful.

Life would be very different without fungi, which thrive by sharing nutrients with their host plants. Fantastic Fungi

Magical mushrooms Netflix documentary digs into mysterious underground world of ‘Fantastic Fungi’

By ERIN BLAKEMORE Washington Post

M

ushrooms look bizarre, almost magical.

But what occurs out of sight is even more en-

chanting.

Colorful shrooms are kind of like flowers — they produce spores that help fungi reproduce. But much of the fungal action takes place underground, where they link plants in a vast network that has been compared to the Internet.

“Fantastic Fungi,” an award-winning documentary on Netflix, sheds light on the fantastic workings of these strange organisms.

Overall, the film is less about psychedelia or natural medicine than it is about connections — of fungi, organisms, humans, planet.

Life on Earth would be much different without members of the fungal kingdom, which can do everything from breaking down waste to providing food and blighting crops. By forming symbiotic relationships with other organisms, fungi thrive while sharing nutrients and other substances with their host.

Beneath the ground, fungi have a

surprising social life. They interact with tree roots and other organisms in what has been called the “Wood Wide Web,” an interconnected global network that helps plants “communicate.” Plants can share nutrients, water and other substances through the fungal networks that connect them.

‘Stranger Things’ sets ‘22 return

Millie Bobby Brown stars in “Stranger Things.” Expect Season 4 sometime in 2022. Netflix/TNS

“Stranger Things” fans, do you copy?

Netflix released a brief teaser trailer last week for the fourth season of its hit fantasy series starring Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard and Millie Bobby Brown.

The 30-second preview reveals that the Emmy-winning drama will return

to the streaming platform in 2022 — and not much else.

A flurry of split-second snapshots from Season 4 and seasons past, the teaser contains new footage of Steve (Joe Keery), Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Joyce (Ryder) and some of the not-solittle-anymore kids toting flashlights on a spooky mission.

Meanwhile, Sheriff Jim Hopper (Harbour), who (spoiler alert!) was

presumed dead in the previous season, is back, bald and wielding a flamethrower, while telekinetic wonder Eleven (Brown) gets captured, per usual, by evil men in suits.

In other words: Just another day in the creepy town of Hawkins, Ind. The third chapter of “Stranger Things,” which premiered on the Fourth of July in 2019, saw the squad’s summer of fun derailed by

the supernatural forces of the Upside Down, culminating in an epic showdown in a shopping mall. Like just about every Hollywood project, production on Season 4 was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Created by the Duffer brothers, the popular horror franchise’s returning ensemble cast also includes Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Charlie Heaton, Noah Schnapp and Sadie Sink.

‘Microsoft Flight Simulator’ soars for certain crowd New Xbox version of game will put your head in clouds

‘MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR’

By GIESON CACHO

PLATFORM: Xbox Series X5/8S, PC RATING: Everyone

3 stars out of four

Mercury News

“Microsoft Flight Simulator” has always bewildered me. It’s not a traditional video game by any means.

Players will find no story here, nor is there any real structure. At its heart, the title is a hard-core re-creation of the flight process that’s accurate down to the tiniest details.

It’s the type of game that demands a room dedicated to it. Fans build their own cockpits, outfit them with flight sticks and pedals, all in an effort to increase the level of realism. They want to feel as if they’re a captain flying the friendly skies. That devotion to a job-like hobby is perplexing. It’s an unusual gaming niche with the same energy as toy fanatics obsessed with model trains. They, too, build rooms for their diversions.

What is the draw of piloting a virtual hunk of metal in the air? Curious about it, I dived into the recently released Xbox Series X version of “Microsoft Flight Simulator” hoping to find an answer. Developed by Asobo Studio, the game throws players headfirst into the world of aviation. The game nudges newcomers to tackle Discover Flights, which is a bad move. That’s like asking toddlers to ride a tricycle without learning how to crawl.

WHERE TO START I discovered that the hard way after crashing while trying to catch a closer look at the Mount Everest Base Camp. It’s best to start with the Flight Training and learn the basics. Unlike games such as “Ace Combat,” “Microsoft Flight Simulator” won’t expect players to do Immelmann turns or topsy-turvy acrobatics. Players pilot crafts like Cessnas or enormous passenger jets such as the Airbus A320. Whatever they choose, these

CRUSING AROUND THE WORLD

Discovery Flights in the new Xbox Series X version of “Microsoft Flight Simulator”offer detailed environments. Microsoft

planes aren’t built for loop-de-loops.

The goal is to get from Point A to Point B. That involves taking off the parking brakes, speeding up the plane to take off and flying at the right altitude and speed. Because of the realism of the “Microsoft Flight Simulator,” players will notice how pilots have to balance speed with soaring higher. The steeper the climb, the lower the forward speed will be. In addition, gunning the engine will kill the fuel and send players inching higher.

The more I played, the more I appreciated the finer elements of aviation. I couldn’t figure out what all the dials did but I nailed the basics down. “Microsoft Flight Simulator” will teach players how to take off, fly and land a plane. The tutorials will also educate players on Visual Flight Rules, which help them reach their destination based on ground landmarks. It’s an actual real-life concept that helps track flights and it’s key to obtaining pilot certifications.

Although Flight Training programs are a great resource, they aren’t the best teachers. Sometimes they can be confusing or they expect players to know more about the plane despite the overwhelming dials and screens.

If players don’t hit the right objectives, the Flight Training program falls apart. It doesn’t even tell players they failed, and in the process, it will waste players’ precious time.

OTHER FLYING ACTIVITIES Once the skill foundation is set, players can tackle Activities that include Discovery Flights, Landing Challenges and Bush Trips. The Discovery Flights are detailed environments featuring plenty of landmarks.

It’s best for virtual sight-seeing.

Meanwhile, Landing Challenges offer players difficult scenarios where they must touch down on unusual runways or in trying conditions.

Bush Trips require VFR knowledge and test how well players can follow

a flight plan based on environmental descriptions and headings. Each is a time commitment with trips lasting more than a half-hour.

These are good tests of skill but the meat of “Microsoft Flight Simulator” lies in its World Map mode where players create their own flight plans and freely travel around the globe.

Asobo Studio uses cutting-edge machine learning and cloud computing to map every meter of the planet. If players wanted to do a cross-continental flight over Asia and Europe, they can do that though the trip would take hours as it would in real life.

“Microsoft Flight Simulator” renders the terrain and weather to match real-world conditions. It’s not a oneto-one facsimile but it’s good enough that players can take off from a nearby airport and fly over their house. If they wanted to do something more daring like fly around a hurricane in the Caribbean, they can venture into the storm.

With the whole world as a playground, “Microsoft Flight Simulator” sets up exciting possibilities for discovery. One of the first things I did was fly over Disneyland and the theme park is rendered decently.

Players can see Space Mountain gleaming in the sun and a blocky rendition of the Incredicoaster.

San Francisco is notable because the data is old, and the game hasn’t rendered destinations such as the Salesforce Tower or the Transbay Terminal. “Microsoft Flight Simulator” may have the location of the 117 million large lakes in the world but it may not render a BART track perfectly.

The more time I spent in the cockpit, the more I could understand the appeal of flight sims. It’s a form of exploration with an addictive sense of discovery. When buzzing over old haunts, I saw familiar places from different perspectives and found new sites that piqued real-world interests.

When traveling unfamiliar terrain, I always wanted to venture further to that mountain or beach over the horizon. It also helps that the game is dazzlingly beautiful and it’s worth snapping screenshots to share on social media.

It’s a more organic way of globe trotting that’s distinct compared to just seeing locales on Google Maps.

Players uncover a living world where they can see cars move on roadways and animals roaming the earth.

Yet, the game isn’t for everyone. Many will find it dull and it is in places. But “Microsoft Flight Simulator” has its appeal to those who have their heads in the clouds.

Tokyo Games least-watched Olympics

By STEPHEN BATTAGLIO Los Angeles Times

Louie Schwartzberg’s trippy new documentary showcases how fungi provide numerous ecological and medicinal benefits.

Fantastic Fungi

Fungi From C1

The film, directed by Louie Schwartzberg and narrated

by Brie Larson, dives into this unusual and still mysterious world. It also follows mycologist Paul Stamets, known for his rousing speeches on fungi and his contributions to scientific research on psilocybin, a chemical compound produced by a few hundred species of fungi.

When ingested, psilocybin has psychedelic side effects, and it’s being used with patients experiencing treatment-resistant depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and other ailments.

“Fantastic Fungi” spends

plenty of time on the potential of seemingly magic mushrooms, and can wax a bit too aggressively about fungi’s future. But overall, the film is less about psychedelia or natural medicine than it is about connections — of fungi, organisms, humans, planet. Its stunning visuals underscore the message. Time-lapse imagery of mushrooms growing from seemingly nowhere (and spreading their sparkling spores) and complex, psychedelic computer-generated imagery make it a visual treat, even on a home TV or laptop.

The film’s tone of hope and wonder matches the blooming beings. This documentary could prompt you to see the world a bit differently; no need to try tripping on mushrooms to do that.

The troubled Tokyo Olympics finished with a historically low TV audience over 17 days.

NBC averaged 15.5 million viewers according to Nielsen prime-time telecast data, a record low for an Olympics on the network that has carried the Summer Games since 1988.

The Tokyo audience declined 42% from the 2016 Summer Games in Rio. Since 2016, competition for viewers has grown exponentially with the addition of new streaming platforms, which have cut into the numbers for many major TV events.

NBC drew a large online audience, with consumers streaming more than 6 billion minutes of coverage over the NBC Olympics app, its Peacock platform, and through its social media partners such as YouTube and TikTok. NBC parent Comcast was counting on the Olympics to help boost Peacock, the streaming service the company launched last year.

The company provided a record 7,000 hours of coverage across TV and streaming platforms.

Despite the TV ratings dropoff, NBC Sports Group Chairman Pete Bevacqua said last week that the network was able to satisfy virtually all commitments made to advertisers who bought commercials. But using unsold inventory to provide free make goods to advertisers deprived NBC of the opportunity to sell the held back commercial time for additional revenue.

Faced with disappointing numbers, NBC was forced to

tout the relative strength of the Tokyo Games, noting that viewership is in the range of “Sunday Night Football,” the mostwatched program in prime time.

But the obstacles NBC faced in the Tokyo Games were apparent from the start. There was a yearlong postponement, and a threat of cancellation loomed as Japan continues to struggle with the COVID-19 pandemic.

NBC was also deprived of extended performances by

several anticipated U.S. Olympic athletes.

Sha’Carri Richardson, a charismatic American sprinter, lost her spot on the team after testing positive for marijuana.

American gymnast star Simone Biles opted out of most of her events to deal with mental health issues. Tennis phenom and Olympic torch-bearer Naomi Osaka was eliminated early after losing in straight sets in the third round to Czech player Marketa Vondrousova.

‘Star Wars’ hotel comes with astronomical price Guests will be immersed in themed adventure when hotel at Disney World opens

By CHRISTI CARRAS Los Angeles Times

May the Force be with anyone who wishes to stay at Walt Disney World’s new “Star Wars” hotel, which is shaping up to be the most expensive vacation experience in the galaxy.

Disney unveiled key details this month regarding its latest attraction, Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, an immersive resort in Florida designed to resemble a lavish cruise ship

surfing through space.

The least expensive all-inclusive vacation package for the hotel — set for a spring 2022 opening — is priced at a whopping $1,209 per person, per night for two guests over two nights, totaling $4,809.

The next cheapest option comes out to a “voyage total” of $5,299 for two adults and one child over two nights.

And finally, a two-night vacation for three adults and one child amounts to $5,999.

And those are just the projected rates for a standard cabin. Price points for the luxurious Galaxy Class suite, which sleeps up to four passengers, and Grand Captain

Suite, which sleeps up to eight passengers, have yet to be revealed.

The Disney World website bills the Galactic Starcruiser as “a revolutionary new 2-night experience where you are the hero” in a galaxy far, far away. During their brief visit, guests will partake in an out-of-this-world “adventure” described as “part live immersive theater, part themed environment, part culinary extravaganza, part real-life role-playing game.”

Aboard the Starcruiser, vacationers will have the opportunity to interact with fanfavorite characters, “embark on secret missions and create

alliances.” The choose-yourown-adventure-style resort also offers lightsaber training, cosmic dining destinations, droid racing competitions and field trips to the

“Star Wars”-themed Galaxy’s Edge inside the Orlando park, among other engaging perks.

Other revelations from the FAQs page: Apparently, there are no swimming pools in

space (go figure!) — or at least none aboard this particular rocket ship. And just to be clear, Disney’s Galactic Starcruiser will not actually transport guests to space.

Using peppers to add heat and flavor to recipes

hey look so innocent.

There is little about a chile that hints at the danger lurking inside.

They dangle colorfully, seemingly harmlessly, from a plant’s bright foliage, or they are piled welcomingly at a grocery store or farmers market.

And yet, a single bite can cause intense pain, an “if-I-get-out-of-this-I’ll-never-sinagain” kind of pain.

Some chiles are mild. Easygoing. Friendly.

And you can’t always tell, just by looking at it, which way it is going to be.

More than 150 types of chiles are grown and eaten in the world, and they range in heat from the utterly mild bell pepper to the ludicrously inedible hot Carolina Reaper.

For the purposes of this article, and my digestive tract, I decided to see what I could make from some of the most readily available fresh peppers, the kind found in any grocery store.

I also decided to make a chocolate ice cream with dried pasilla negro chiles, which you have to find at international stores, because I saw the recipe and I thought it sounded really good.

It was. It was really, really good.

Instead, I’ll begin with hot pepper jelly, which I’ve never particularly cared for all that much. I didn’t hate it, but I wouldn’t cross the

It’s been a good year for pesto. In the spring, it went viral, thanks to enterprising TikTok users who started adding it to eggs in place of butter or oil. Fans applauded the ease with which it could flavor a range of preparations, whether scrambled or sunny side up.

It also benefited from David Kinch, chef-owner of the Michelin three-starred restaurant Manresa in Los Gatos, Calif., who made a version with avocado that provides a California take on what he calls “the greatest sauce in Italian cuisine.”

Now that basil is taking over most gardens, there’s a new version of pesto to obsess over. It features pistachios and — even more unconventionally — lime. But the result is a powerful green sauce for home cooks to use in celebrating the rest of summer.

The recipe is featured in the upcoming cookbook Sicilia: A Love Letter to the Food of Sicily by Ben Tish (Bloomsbury; Aug. 10; $32).

Tish is a chef whose London restaurants include the celebrated Norma, where the focus is on Sicilian food.

He’s had previous cookbooks that covered southern Italy, including Moorish recipes, but this is his first deep dive into the storied, diverse Mediterranean island.

The book is dedicated to various aspects of the cuisine, ranging from the strong Arabic influence to the importance of frying. There are recipes for everything from the non-Sicilian-sounding street food lasagna bread (filled with cherry tomatoes, basil, and provolone) to smoky artichokes with lemon and the long, thin local sausages known as salsicca, with red wine and grapes.

In the process of researching, Tish came across this singular pesto from the Bronte region, known for See PESTO C6

MINNEAPOLIS — A career as a political reporter took Hank Shaw to five newspapers across the country, including, in the early 2000s, the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

His subsequent work as a forager, hunter, fisherman and cookbook author has taken him around the world. He started his James Beard awardwinning blog, Hunter Angler Gardener Cook (honest-food. net), in 2007, and his first cookbook debuted four years later.

Shaw has just released his fifth title, “Hook, Line, and Supper” (H&H Books, $32.95), a userfriendly guide to preparing a wide variety of fish and seafood.

Now living in Sacramento, Calif., Shaw recently visited the Twin Cities, and in a conversation he shared a foolproof searing technique, explained the concept of interchangeability and discussed

the joys of fishing.

Q: Why do you recommend fishing as a pastime?

A: Because it’s the easiest way for what I would call a civilian to get into the world of securing your own protein. Hunting is

difficult, there are lots of barriers to hunting. But fishing? You can buy a one-day license, get on a boat and have your friend

Q: What’s your advice for first-time fishing excursions?

A: Use bait over lures. Bait will catch more fish than lures.

Q: What was your goal

Q: How about a quick tutorial?

A: There are a lot of ways to do it. There’s the sear method.

Once you learn how, you can do it in eight to 10 minutes.

You’ve salted your piece of fish and patted it dry. The pan gets hot, and then you use a very high smokepoint oil. I like grapeseed, but canola works, too. Then the oil gets hot. When that oil has a wisp of smoke, the fish goes in the pan, and the second it goes in, you jiggle the pan, it’s almost a tremor. The piece of fish will See COOKBOOK C6

S.A. Cosby cuts to the bone in ‘Razorblade Tears’

By COLETTE BANCROFT Tampa Bay Times

“Razorblade Tears” by S.A. Cosby; Flatiron Books (336 pages, $26.99) Because of my work, I usually read two or three books at a time, switching around after a few chapters and taking several days or more to finish a book.

Once in a while, though, a book grabs me by the shirt, gets up in my face and says, “Let’s ride.” “Razorblade Tears” is one of those, and what a ride it is. I sat down in my comfy chair, cracked it open and didn’t get up until I’d finished it five hours later, holding my breath most of the way — except when I was laughing out loud.

This is the second year in a row that author S.A. Cosby has dominated the summer crime thriller scene. His Blacktop Wasteland blew readers’ minds in 2020, and he keeps the pedal to the metal with “Razorblade Tears,” which might be even better.

Both books are set in fictional Red Hill County in southern Virginia, a state that is Cosby’s home turf. The main characters in “Razorblade Tears” are Ike Randolph and Buddy Lee Jenkins, a highly unlikely pair who at first despise each other just on the basis of race — Ike’s Black, Buddy Lee is white.

But they have a couple of things in common. Ike and Buddy Lee are both middleaged ex-convicts with violent pasts. Ike changed his life after

prison; starting with a “rickety riding mower and a rusty sling blade,” he’s built a successful landscaping business. It’s bought a comfortable home for him and his wife, Mya, a nurse, and put their son, Isaiah, through college. Buddy Lee’s approach to staying out of jail has been less ambitious: He lives in a rundown trailer,

drives a rattletrap truck and works intermittently in order to stay drunk as much as possible.

Their other common bond is their sons. Isaiah married Buddy Lee’s son, Derek, and they had a daughter, Arianna. As the book begins, their families learn that Isaiah and Derek have been murdered,

gunned down on the sidewalk outside a wine shop in downtown Richmond.

Both fathers were estranged from their sons, unable to accept their sexuality, but they’re devastated by the murders. Ike and Mya take in 3-year-old Arianna. Isaiah was her biological father, and it tears at Ike’s heart to see the girl’s resemblance to him.

To no one’s surprise, the police seem unenthused about investigating the deaths of an interracial gay couple, and within weeks they declare the case inactive.

Buddy Lee comes to Ike, proposing they investigate — and avenge. Ike resists, but changes his mind when their sons’ gravestone is vandalized.

“Ike wasn’t afraid to get his hands dirty,” Cosby writes. “He wasn’t afraid to spill blood. He was afraid he wouldn’t be able to stop.”

Neither man thinks the shootings were random, or even a hate crime; they have all the earmarks of a professional hit. Because they know so little about their sons’ daily lives, they start with their employers. Derek worked at a high-end bakery that seems like a dead end. But Isaiah was a reporter for the Rainbow Review, a small journal aimed at the local LGBTQ community.

“Typically our stories aren’t the kind that can get you killed,” its managing editor tells Ike and Buddy Lee. “Being Black and gay usually does a pretty god job of that.”

This is the second year in a row that author S.A. Cosby has dominated the summer crime thriller scene. His Blacktop Wasteland blew readers’ minds in 2020, and he keeps the pedal to the metal with “Razorblade Tears,” which might be even better.

But the fathers are soon following a frightening trail that leads to a brutal biker gang, a music mogul, a mysterious voice on the phone and an elusive young woman called Tangerine.

On that road, Ike’s and Buddy Lee’s old criminal skills come in very handy. Make no mistake, this book brims with violence. If you do not want to read about the slinging of blood, the firing of many guns and the non-recommended uses of lawn care implements, read elsewhere.

The exuberant but choreographed violence in “Razorblade Tears” might remind you of Quentin Tarantino’s films, just one of the influences that struck me. Another is the mighty Elmore Leonard — like him, Cosby can create a

vivid character sketch in a few lines and knows how to counter the darkest situations with humor.

Much of the wit comes in the banter between Ike and Buddy Lee as their strange partnership progresses. Some of it is found in offhand moments, like this one as Ike waits to be allowed into a gated suburb: “Ike spied a silver BMW in the rearview mirror, driven by a woman with the most severe I-want-to-speakwith-the-manager haircut he’d ever seen. She zipped by them doing at least thirty miles per hour, like she had some Dalmatians in the trunk that she needed to make into a coat.”

Cosby’s books also remind me of Walter Mosley’s, especially his Easy Rawlins series, in which crime fiction is the vehicle for a deep and nuanced portrait of American culture’s long struggle with racism and other kinds of bigotry. Easy lives in Los Angeles, Cosby’s characters in the rural South, but a lot of things are the same. In the world Ike and Buddy Lee confront, as one character says, “It seems like somebody made hatred hip again.”

Citing these influences, though, is not to say that Cosby is an imitator. He’s learned from some of the best, but his voice is his own, his characters engaging and surprising, his narrative skill impressive. I’m looking forward to having his next novel grab me and not let me go.

Deborah Copaken’s new memoir is on her terms and a fire-breathing dragon lurking behind it, while the only barrier blocking the male avatars’ doors are knobs.”

Via phone and email, Copaken answered questions about her life and work with the candor and fortitude evident in her searing, compelling book.

This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

By MEREDITH MARAN Washington Post

By Deborah Copaken Random House. 480 pp. $29.99 “Dear @MichaelaCoel: I was a writer on ‘Emily in Paris,’ but your show was my favorite show since the dawn of TV, & this is just wrong.”

So tweeted Deborah Copaken on Feb. 3, after “Emily,” the show she helped conceive and write, received two Golden Globe nominations, and “I May Destroy You,” starring and created by the Ghanaian British Michaela Coel, received none.

“My fury is not just about race,” Copaken wrote in an op-ed after her tweet went viral. “We need to give awards to shows ... that deserve them, no matter the color of the skin of their creators.”

Hollywood responded in a pearl-clutching huff. On what planet, industry insiders railed, does a Golden Globe-nominated TV writer kvetch — in print! — about the snubbing of a competing show? On Planet Copaken, that’s where.

L’affaire Copaken/Coel, which contributed to the cancellation of next year’s Golden Globes, was not an unusual event in the life of this polymathic provocateur, whose resume includes war photographer, reporter and photojournalist for the New Yorker, the New York Times, Time and Newsweek; “Moth” performer; bestselling author; contributing writer for the Atlantic; TV writer; and author of a New York Times essay that was adapted for Amazon’s 2019 “Modern Love” series, with

Copaken played by Catherine Keener.

“Ladyparts,” Copaken’s seventh and most ambitious book, is a characteristically incisive takedown of the impact of misogyny on health care, divorce, solo motherhood, middle-aged dating, housing and employment. All of it is told through the zoomed-in lens of a full-body scan of a woman who has endured more than her fair share of health complications, including a near-fatal hemorrhage after the removal of her cervix and a nasty, lingering case of COVID-19. “Gazing down at my scar-covered torso,” Copaken writes, “[I was] mentally dissecting each body part — the way a butcher approaches a cow or an advertiser a barely legal female.”

No need to wonder where Copaken stands on feminism.

“Being a woman in a country where only the men are created equal,” she writes, “feels a lot like playing a videogame in which every door between your avatar and the pot of gold has a lock, a chain, bricks ....

Q: Compare the impact of misogyny on marketing your 2001 book, “Shutterbabe,” to bringing “Ladyparts” to market 20 years later.

A: Two decades ago, it was okay for a journalist to write, in a profile about me in a national magazine, “I ask if she’s worried her frankness will get her labeled a slut.” Another reviewer labeled me a “soccer-momin-training.” I also faced misogyny in my own publishing house. The first cover Random House showed me for “Shutterbabe” was of a naked torso against a pink background with a camera covering the vagina. I turned in the manuscript with the title “Shuttergirl.” The then-publisher of Random House insisted on calling it “Shutterbabe,” although that repudiated the entire engine of the book, which was the female gaze: I was the one looking at men and the world through my lens, I told her, not vice versa.

But she refused me.

Q: Was your 2021 publishing experience different? Better, I hope.

A: Coming back to Random House after 20 years and seven books feels like coming back to a different and much more

inclusive home. We’re in talks right now about reissuing the first book for its 20th anniversary under its intended title, “Shuttergirl.”

“Ladyparts” is “Shutterbabe’s” deliberate bookend, filled with the everyday sexism and misogyny — today, right now — of the health-care industry, of corporate America, of salary gaps, and of how we treat women in America, particularly as we age out of our reproductive years. But this time around, Random House publisher Susan Kamil, who tragically died in 2019, welcomed me back with a hug and a promise to listen. My editor gave me veto power over the cover, and I was constantly asked for my input from the designers.

with the father of your kids?

A: Many novels detail the unraveling of a marriage. In memoir, too often, the marital conflict that sets a protagonist off on a new journey gets swept under the rug.

I didn’t want to whitewash what happened in our marriage or to turn my husband or me into saints or demons. My ex was diagnosed at 44 with Asperger’s. I was diagnosed around the same time with situational depression, stemming from a lack of relational empathy. To skip over that felt wrong, so I devoted some narrative space to how each of us contributed to the demise of our marriage. As for my kids, I’m not revealing anything they didn’t see or experience themselves.

Q: Did you have any reservations about your kids and/or other people learning about your body and soul so intimately?

A: No. I feel compelled to expose readers — related to me or not, my friend or not — to the realities of living and bleeding in a woman’s body. We women are taught from girlhood to feel ashamed of our bodies. Then there’s the shame and dismissal of our aches and pains.

I had adenomyosis [a condition affecting the uterine wall] for 16 years before I was finally diagnosed. This book is my renunciation of female shame. If I have to use my own body as a conduit to these discussions, so be it.

Q: “Ladyparts” returns again and again to your recurring financial hardship. But unlike most poor Americans, you went to Harvard, Nora Ephron was a close friend, and you wrote on two TV shows. Did you have misgivings about positioning yourself as an impoverished single mother?

A: No, because this is not a generalized book about impoverished single motherhood. It’s a memoir of one middle-aged woman with several serious illnesses, one after the other, who took a steep fall off the middle-class ladder into the sudden-onset poverty that’s all too common, especially for women, in a country without adequate health insurance, child care or social safety nets. Obviously, women born into poverty in this country,

particularly women of color, have it far worse than a White woman born into the middle class. It’s also true that at one point, while paying two college tuitions and $2,300 a month for COBRA [health coverage], I had $6 in my bank account, $42,000 in credit card debt and no food in my fridge. A Harvard degree does not protect you from that kind of freefall.

Q: What impact do you hope “Ladyparts” will have on the many social injustices the book highlights?

A: When I’m thinking about a story I want to write, I begin with some preposterous or bizarre thing that happened to me or to someone else, which means it’s probably happening to other women as well. The reader I have in mind is someone like me, who’s suffering in silence and unable to say why, perhaps even to herself.

When I sent the book to other writers for blurbs, the women writers felt seen. The men were shocked. Rick Moody said he was shaken by the density of the hardships. Andrew Sean Greer wrote, “We know almost nothing about the women we love, their bodies and their struggles.” The men’s reactions made me realize that this book might also be a tool for bridging a deep divide. I hope men do find their way to this book and learn from reading a playbook for the other team.

Expecting the ace and queen of clubs in the dummy, West made a deceptive lead,

trying to talk Hedin out of a winning finesse. Hedin won with dummy’s ace, led a diamond to his ace, and ruffed a heart.

A diamond back to his queen was followed by another heart ruff in dummy. A club ruff brought him back to his hand and the ace and king of spades dropped the queen. Hedin continued with the jack of spades and then the ace of hearts, hoping the king would fall. This was the position: NORTH ♠ Void ♥ Void ♦ K 10 ♣J WEST ♠ 10 ♥ Void ♦ J6 ♣ Void

By Stella Wilder Born tomorrow, you are one of those shadowy, even mysterious individuals, and that suits you just fine. You are also the kind to “come from behind” when the going gets tough and win the day, surprising even your closest rivals who assumed, because of your generally unassuming and unboastful manner, that you aren’t really in the race — but that’s what you count on! You enjoy not having all eyes on you at all times, because it affords you a great deal of personal freedom.

Though you have a keen mind, you are not all that good with numbers. Whenever there are decimal points or zeros involved you can quickly become overwhelmed — which doesn’t bode well for your financial future. Get help — that’s the key! You know people who have more knowledge about money than you do, and you mustn’t be shy about asking questions!

MONDAY, AUGUST 23 VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Others are waiting for you to make up your mind, but you’re in no hurry to commit one way or the other. Review all available information.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Mischief-making can be fun today, but it can also cause you trouble that will take a good deal of time to resolve. Play it straight right now!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You may be afraid that your popularity is decreasing, but that’s simply a prod-

street to have some.

But that was before I made homemade hot pepper jelly.

And let me tell you, it was spectacular. I’d cross half the streets in town to have some more.

Served as a glaze for grilled fish or chicken, or on a cracker with a bit of cream cheese, it’s a little bit hot and a little bit sweet.

Actually, it is very sweet. But the sugar is just what you need to even out the bite of the apple cider vinegar and make a lovely backdrop for a combination of chopped jalapeno and red, yellow and green bell peppers.

All of that chopping, along with the process of canning, takes some time. So for kicks — I get my kicks in unusual ways — I also made an easier version of hot pepper jelly.

It’s basically a cooking hack.

You just melt together apple jelly and orange marmalade, and stir in a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, a tablespoon of chopped jalapeno and a tablespoon of chopped green onion for a mild edge that counters the jellies.

And it works. It successfully mimics hot pepper jelly, and you can whip it up in five minutes.

For an entree, I made Spiced Grilled Chicken With Cilantro Lime Butter, which was easier than it sounds — and just as good.

This is a two-part recipe, a paste to spread on the chicken before grilling, and then a melted butter-based sauce to drizzle over the top after it is done.

The paste is supposed to recall the taste of mole poblano, which it only does in the most general of ways. But still, its bright notes of cinnamon and balsamic vinegar, muffled by cocoa and brown sugar and spiced up with chili powder, make a coating for chicken that is simply delicious.

The pepper part of the recipe comes in the sauce. A chopped serrano pepper is mixed with cilantro, red onion and lime juice, plus the melted butter, for a traditional Mexican taste.

The next dish I made, eggs poached in a chile-tomato broth, is even more traditional. Huevos en rabo de mestiza — “mestiza” does not mean “chile-tomato broth” — is basically the Mexican version of shakshuka, a Middle Eastern staple of eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce.

It’s a satisfying, spicy dish for a brunch, and the broth of poblano chiles, tomatoes and onions can even be made the day before.

Next up was a refreshing sauce that can be used either as a salad dressing or as a dip for crudites, jalapeno-cilantro yogurt sauce. It is a gorgeous concoction of mint leaves and cilantro in yogurt, with lime juice and a hint of cumin. The heat comes from a chopped jalapeno.

It all comes together in a couple of minutes, and it tastes just as fresh as it looks.

HOMEMADE HOT PEPPER JELLY Yield: 48 servings (6 cups) 6 (8-ounce) canning jars 1 1/2 cups finely chopped and seeded red bell pepper 1 cup finely chopped and seeded yellow bell pepper 1 1/4 cups finely chopped and seeded green bell pepper 1/4 cup finely chopped and seeded jalapeno 1 cup apple cider vinegar 1 (1.75-ounce) package powdered pectin 5 cups granulated sugar 1. Sterilize canning jars and lids in boiling water.

2. Place red, yellow and green bell peppers and jalapeno in a large saucepan over high heat. Add apple cider vinegar and pectin. Stirring constantly, bring to a rolling boil.

3. Stir in sugar and return to a rolling boil for 1 minute.

4. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam from top.

slide on that hot oil for just a second, and that will prevent it from cementing itself to the pan.

Then you tip the pan and spoon the hot oil over the fish until the fish turns opaque. As soon as the side of the fish that’s touching the pan gets that nice pretty brown — you can see it on the edges — then you put in a knob of butter. You tip that over the fish, and when the butter turns brown, you pull it off

Q: You write a lot about the interchangeability of fish.

What do you mean?

A: There are big classes of fish and seafood that can be lumped together. For example, the vast majority of freshwater fish are lean and white, and they all kind of act the same. Sure, there are functional differences between a walleye and a smallmouth bass, but you can interchange them in a recipe, it’s all good.

The differences exist but they’re not all that critical. I have a recipe in the book that sounds esoteric, but it’s not. It’s for Thai fried pomfret, a fish that you can get in the Pacific Ocean. But what if you used it with walleye instead of pomfret? It would still be a good recipe. What if you used it with catfish, or shrimp?

It would still be a good recipe.

There are very few recipes that can’t use literally whatever looks good in the supermarket.

A: It’s kind of counterintuitive, because at the supermarket, you want to go right to the freezer section, because they buy frozen fish and thaw it for their counter. It’s better for you to thaw the fish than for them to the thaw the fish, because they could have thawed it three or four or five days ago.

Q: The book’s 120-plus recipes take a global approach, a strategy that’s obviously rooted in your own experiences. Why is travel important to you?

A: Because everyone does things differently, even within our own country. Travel within the U.S. really shows you that there are amazing things in every single state. Too many Americans think that their little neck of the woods is the only good place, and that the people over the hill are somehow not real Americans, or that they have bad taste in fish. The chowder wars are real.

Q: When it comes to preparing chowders, stews and soups, is there a common mistake?

A: The single biggest one is putting everything in the pot at once. Period. I have a very long section in the book on how to build a proper fish or seafood stew.

Note: No perch? “Use any firm, white fish,” said Hank Shaw, author of “Hook, Line, and Supper.”

Pesto

3 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 large yellow or white onion, chopped (about 2 cups) 1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold or other waxy potatoes, peeled and diced 1 quart fish or clam stock 2 cups water 1/2 teaspoons freshly chopped marjoram Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 1/2 pounds skinless yellow perch fillets, cut into chunks 6 to 8 ounces Polish kielbasa, sliced 1/4 cup freshly chopped dill or flatleaf parsley 1 cup sour cream, for garnish

the quality of its pistachios.

“Very simply, they use pistachio instead of other nuts, as there’s so many kicking around,” says Tish. “Everything has pistachios in it.” If you can find Bronte nuts, use them; they’ll make the pesto brighter green.

The addition of lime was Tish’s hack. “Normally, it would be lemon,” he says. “The lime just seemed right to me.

The recipe is 70% authentic.”

Tish also chose to take cheese out of the sauce and make it an optional garnish because he wanted to make it vegan.

His version is one of the brightest, freshest-tasting versions of the sauce you will find. It’s ideal for summer. The pistachios add an underlying sweetness you don’t usually find, but the real surprise is the hit of summery, tangy lime.

Combined with the garlic, it’s a refreshing touch that grabs your attention. The sauce’s flavors come through best when the pasta is served at room temperature or chilled for a picnic or al fresco meal.

The following recipe is adapted from Sicilia, by Ben Tish.

Melt butter in a Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium heat. When butter stops frothing, add onions and cook gently until soft and translucent; do not let them brown.

Add potatoes and stir to coat with butter. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes to let butter absorb a bit. Sprinkle everything with salt. Add fish stock, water and marjoram, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer gently for about 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.

Once potatoes are tender, add perch and kielbasa and simmer for another 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in dill (or parsley). Ladle into bowls and let everyone add sour cream at the table. Serve with beer and some crusty bread.

SICILIAN PESTO PASTA Serves 4 3 cups loosely packed basil leaves

Note: The sauce can be made well ahead of time and can even be frozen.

1. Leave the stems, if any, on the poblanos. Place directly over the open flame of a gas stove or a wood or charcoal grill. If using electricity, smear the chiles with a light coating of oil and place them directly under the broiler. Turn the chiles from time to time to allow the skin to blister and char lightly all over. Do not allow the flesh to be burnt through.

2. Place charred poblanos immediately into a plastic bag and leave them to steam for about 10 minutes. This helps to loosen the skin. The skin can now be slipped off easily with your hands; this should be done over a strainer, because the little pieces are tough and can block a sink drain. Rinse the chiles briefly, but do not soak in water. Remove stems and seeds and slice chiles into narrow strips.

3. Rinse tomatoes and place on a hot, ungreased pan or griddle over medium heat.

Cook, turning occasionally, until soft all the way through and the skin is lightly charred.

Or, cook tomatoes about 3 inches under a broiler, turning once, until mushy and slightly charred.

4. Heat the oil in a large skillet and cook the onion until translucent, about 2 minutes.

Add the chile strips to the pan and let them cook for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid sticking.

5. Process the broiled tomatoes in a blender or a few seconds — do not overblend — and add them to the onionchile mixture. The sauce should have some texture. Let it cook over fairly high heat for about 10 minutes, or until the sauce is well seasoned and has somewhat reduced. Add the water and salt and continue cooking for a minute or so more.

6. Crack the eggs, one at a time, into the hot broth. Arrange the slices of cheese on top. Cover with a lid and let the eggs poach very gently until set, 3 or 3½ minutes.

Recipe from “The Essential Cuisines of Mexico” by Diana Kennedy 1 small bunch parlsey (about 3.5 oz.), stems discarded 1 small garlic clove, peeled 1/2 cup toasted salted pistachios (about 2.5 oz), plus more to garnish Finely grated zest of 1 lime 4 tsp. fresh lime juice 1 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more to finish Sea salt and freshly ground pepper 1 lb. dried spaccatelle, casarecce, or other short tubular pasta shape Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish 1/2 cup fresh ricotta, plus more to finish In a blender, combine the basil leaves, parsley leaves, garlic, pistachio nuts, lime zest and juice, and pulse until roughly chopped. With the machine on, pour in the olive oil until smooth. Season well with salt and pepper.

In a large pot, cook the pasta in boiling salted water according to package directions. Drain, reserving a little of the pasta cooking water.

In the pot, mix the pasta with a splash of olive oil, a little of the pasta cooking water, and about half the pesto. Stir in the Parmesan (if desired) and check consistency; it should be saucy. If necessary, add more pesto.

Off the heat, stir in the ricotta (if desired). Spoon into bowl, garnish with a few pistachios and a little more ricotta and serve warm, at room temperature.
