Smith granted parole after 27 years He was 13 when he killed a 4-year-old boy in 1993 Jeff Murray New York State Team USA TODAY NETWORK

Eric Smith, who was a teenager when he was convicted for the brutal murder of a 4-year-old neighbor in the Steuben County Village of Savona, has been granted parole after 27 years in prison.

Smith was 13 when he was accused of killing Derrick Robie in August 1993. He was tried as an adult and convicted of second-degree murder following a trial

in Steuben County Court. His lawyer at trial tried to persuade a jury that Smith suff ered from a mental disorder.

Smith, who is now 41, was sentenced to nine years to life in prison and fi rst became eligible for parole in 2002. He was previously denied parole 10 times.

Following an 11th hearing Oct. 5, the state Board of Parole granted Smith parole and he could be released from custody at the Woodbourne Correctional Facility as early as Nov. 17.

In 1993, Smith lured Robie into a wooded area near the boy’s Savona home. Derrick was walking alone to a summer camp at a nearby park. Smith strangled Derrick, smashed his head

with a rock, and sexually abused him.

Smith was taken into custody about a week later, and the case received national attention due to Robie the nature of the crime.

In previous interviews with the parole board, Smith said he held in a lot of anger after years of being bullied.

“He didn’t deserve anything that I did to him; no one deserved that kind of violence,” Smith said at his 2014 parole hearing. “What I did to him was brutal.”

Dialing will change soon for people in 607 area code Neal Simon Binghamton Press & Sun Bulletin USA TODAY NETWORK

“This call cannot be completed as dialed.”

That’s the discouraging message some New Yorkers will start hearing in the coming weeks if they don’t know the new requirements for placing a local telephone call. Beginning Oct. 24, residents in the 607 area code and four others in New York state must dial ten digits (the area code and the telephone number) for all local calls.

Calls dialed with only seven digits will likely not be completed. A recording will inform callers that the call cannot be completed as dialed. Callers must hang up and dial again using the area code and the seven-digit number.

Why 10-digit dialing is necessary In July 2020, the Federal Communications Commission established 988 as the new three-digit number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

The new dialing code will be available nationwide by July 16, 2022 and will provide an easy-to-remember and easy-to-dial three-digit number to reach suicide prevention and mental health counselors, similar to “911” for emergencies and “311” for local government services.

As a result of the FCC action, area codes that have a 988 prefi x within them, including 607, must change to a 10-digit local dialing system.

According to the FCC, the change will impact 82 area codes in 35 states and one U.S. territory. In addition to the 607 area code, other New York state area codes aff ected are 716, 845, 914, and 516.

Businesses step up after FEMA denies Steuben fl ood assistance Additional $110K still won’t meet full need in area, United Way says Chris Potter Hornell Evening Tribune USA TODAY NETWORK

It’s been two months since fl ash fl ood waters swept across much of southern Steuben County, washing out roads, damaging hundreds of homes and businesses and claiming the life of 31-yearold Greenwood native Klarissa M. Bivins.

Last week, a federal Major Disaster Declaration for Steuben and seven other counties — Allegany, Cayuga, Cortland, Lewis, Oneida, Tioga and Yates — freed up millions of dollars for repairs to public infrastructure through FEMA’s Public Assistance program.

A day later, however, FEMA denied the state’s Individual Assistance request that would have provided direct fi nancial support to homeowners impacted by fl ood damage.

Important steps to remember Owners of equipment for home and business security, as well as for the health and safety of individuals, are reminded to reprogram it for 10-digit dialing.

Many systems operate on 10-digit dialing by default, but some older equipment still might use seven digits.

NY gives Southern Tier airports $3.1M Chris Potter Binghamton Press & Sun Bulletin USA TODAY NETWORK

Airports across much of the Southern Tier were cleared for upgrades Monday as Gov. Kathy Hochul announced $20.7 million in awards for strategic infrastructure enhancements at 24 public-use airports across the state.

The awards funded projects to enhance safety, facilitate innovation, leverage existing resources, advance business development, and promote sustainability and resilience at the facilities, according to the governor.

“Local and regional airports are the gateway to communities across New York State, attracting tourists and business from around the world,” Hochul said.

“These investments will continue to transform New York’s airports into world-class facilities that will further boost economic development and growth.”

Southern Tier airports were allocated $3.1 million.

In Broome County, the Greater Binghamton Airport received the largest chunk of funding in the Southern Tier. The airport was awarded $1.5 million to fund the installation of energy-effi cient lighting and replacement of the revenue control system.

Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo, who represents Binghamton and the 123rd Assembly District, is the cochair of the Aviation Caucus in Albany.

“This is very positive news for the Greater Binghamton Airport. These infrastructure improvements will certainly help the airport better position itself for growth and development,” said Lupardo. “I am also hopeful that BGM will do well in the current round of Upstate Airport Revitalization grants. I’d like to thank everyone at the County for continuing to believe in our airport’s future.”

In Chemung County, the Elmira Corning Regional Airport received $1.3 million for the reconstruction of an existing building into a U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility to retain international passenger fl ights.

In Steuben County, the Corning-Painted Post Airport received $100,000 for the acquisition of service

equipment to maintain operations during inclement weather events.

In Chenango County, the Lt. Warren E. Eaton Airport received $200,000 for energy effi ciency Jet Hangar improvements, including high-effi ciency heating and LED lighting and general hangar rehabilitation activities.

The Western New York region was awarded $1.5 million.

In Allegany County, the Wellsville Municipal Airport received $200,000 for the acquisition of service and other airport-related equipment.

The remaining $1.3 million went to the Buff alo Niagara International Airport in Erie County.

The projects are funded through the Aviation Capital Investment Program and administered by the New

York State Department of Transportation.

Funding was awarded through a competitive process and evaluated based on economic benefi t, operational effi ciencies, safety enhancements, and the potential for attracting new or expanded aeronauticalrelated activities, according to the state.

Projects that were cost-eff ective and contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions were also prioritized.

“These aviation grants specifi cally support projects that will serve to make our local communities more economically competitive — regionally and globally,” said New York State Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez.

Gas prices at their highest in years Rashika Jaipuriar Rockland/Westchester Journal News USA TODAY NETWORK

Gas prices across the country are at the highest levels since 2014, according to AAA and GasBuddy.

In New York, drivers are paying about $1 more per gallon compared to this time last year. The costs are linked to the COVID-19 pandemic, global oil production and increasing demand, according to experts.

Here’s what else you need to know.

Why are prices going up?

Both the growing cost of crude oil and a recent decision from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), Russia and other allies are playing a role in higher prices, according to AAA. It’s out of the norm for this time of year, Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, explained. Usually gas prices decline slightly in the fall, he said, but this year, the pandemic is continuing to

have long-term eff ects on consumers.

“There’s been a lot of imbalances created by COVID,” De Haan said. “And this is simply one of them.”

When COVID-19 fi rst hit in 2020, the drop in gas demand caused a drop in prices, he explained. As a result, oil companies started to fl atten production and implement mass layoff s.

Fast forward about a year later, with the arrival of the vaccines and a return to travel, and De Haan said they started to see consumer confi dence and gas demand go back up.

Now, “demand for gasoline since then has reached near-normal levels,” De Haan said. “It’s still slightly below — and I think a lot of that is because people are still working from home — but we’re still in the midst of the pandemic.”

Though demand is “nearly normal” again, oil production is “lagging severely behind” De Haan said.

“Part of the reason is because the depth of the crisis last year,” De Haan said. “Oil companies let millions of people go. Not only did U.S. oil producers slow production down, but OPEC did as well. And since then, they’ve been slow to increase production again.”

In talks last week, OPEC+ discussed the issue of increasing global oil production.

The group decided to continue their “gradual approach” to restoring production, according to the Associated Press, adding 400,000 barrels per day in November.

A previous agreement, which was not implemented, would have produced about 800,000 barrels per day, according to AAA.

CY-00246766

What does that mean for New York drivers?

The average price of gas in New York is $3.424, according to AAA, close to the national average of $3.319.

Average gas prices across New York as of Oct. 17: h Allegany County $3.378 h Broome County $3.411 h Chemung County $3.407 h Dutchess County $3.424 h Herkimer County $3.453 h Monroe County $3.406 h Oneida County $3.431

h Ontario County $3.422 h Orange County $3.376 h Rockland County $3.511 h Steuben County $3.420 h Tompkins County $3.432 h Ulster County $3.367 h Westchester County $3.563 This week, New York had one of the country’s top 20 largest weekly jumps, according to AAA, with statewide gas prices going up by about 8 cents. This week’s average price is up by more than $1 compared to this time last year.

In addition to the rising national trend, New York consumers might see prices vary based on “price cycling,” De Haan said. It’s when one gas station might raise prices by about $0.20 - $0.40 causing other local gas stations to follow suit. After several stations have raised their prices, that fi rst station might drop prices by about a penny each day, leading to a chain reaction in the opposite direction.

“They keep undercutting each other, a penny or two every day,” De Haan said. “Until the station is losing money, and that’s when the station then will hike prices back up. And then the price war is happening all over again.

“Price cycling basically means that prices shoot up every seven to 12 days on average. But it also means that right after prices go up, they start to come down as well.”

What’s next?

“There’s so many COVID-related bottlenecks that develop relatively quickly,” De Haan said. “That it’s just really impossible to know what could happen tomorrow.”

He encourages drivers to shop around on their next trip to fi ll up the tank.

“There’s some stations that are you know closer to $3.09 and there’s some that are $3.39,” De Haan said.

“So those sorts of price discrepancies always provide an opportunity for motorists to spend a little bit less.”

COVID cases fl atten in NY, but disparities grow Mike Stucka and Joseph Spector New York State Team USA TODAY NETWORK

New cases of COVID-19 fl attened statewide over the past week, but they were persistently high in some regions of New York.

New York reported 33,490 new cases of coronavirus in the week ending Sunday, a 1% increase from the week before.

But the seven-day positivity rate Saturday varied from a low of 1.2% in New York City to a high of 6.2% in the North Country, as well as 5.4% in central New York and 5% in the Finger Lakes, state records showed.

Gov. Kathy Hochul said she was pleased with the statewide trends, but noted that the state’s disparate rates remain a concern. The statewide positive rate was 2% on Saturday, down from

While the state appeals that decision, a number of local businesses have stepped into the void and added another $110,000 to the Steuben County Flood Response Fund.

The support came after Corning Enterprises President Chris Sharkey offered to match up to $25,000 in donations from member businesses of Three Rivers Development, where Sharkey serves as board chair. The goalposts moved when several businesses quickly responded with donations totaling more than $55,000.

“The positive steps we’ve taken in the last few weeks are the clearest sign yet of New Yorkers’ commitment to defeating this pandemic,” Hochul said.

“Booster shots are underway, and we are laying the groundwork for getting our kids vaccinated pending fi nal federal approval.

“But there is still more work to be done, and New Yorkers must remain vigilant so that we move well on our way to realizing a post-COVID future.”

New York ranked 34th among the states where coronavirus was spreading the fastest on a per-person basis, a USA TODAY Network analysis of Johns Hopkins University data showed.

In the latest week, coronavirus cases in the U.S. decreased 9.7% from the week before.

There were still areas of concern in

New York: Broome County’s COVID cases were up 26.5% last week, includ-

ing six deaths compared to three the week prior; and cases were up 21% in Monroe County. Orange County’s COVID cases rose 17% over the past week, and up 9% in Dutchess County; 7% in Steuben and 4% in Oneida.

But other places the COVID cases were essentially fl at, including in Westchester. Across New York, cases fell in 18 counties, with the best declines in New York City. The fi ve counties with the highest percentage of their population fully vaccinated in New York were Manhattan (73%), Queens (72%), Nassau (72%), Schenectady (70%) and Westchester (69%).

New York ranked 11th among states in share of people receiving at least one shot, with 73% of its residents at least partially vaccinated.

Smith was housed in a juvenile facility until 2001, when he was transferred to state prison.

In making its determination to grant parole, the state panel must follow the statutory requirements which take into consideration many factors, including

statements made by victims and victims’ families, if any, according to the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision.

The board also considers an individual’s criminal history, institutional accomplishments, potential to successfully reintegrate into the community, and perceived risk to public safety.

Derrick’s parents, Dale and Doreen

Robie, opposed Smith’s release every time he came up for parole, and also used their son’s murder to push for stricter limits on parole hearings — including requiring felony off enders to wait fi ve years, rather than the current two, between hearings. Dale Robie said the family has no comment on Smith’s parole.

the area received assistance. Steuben County’s latest estimates indicate more than 350 homes were impacted as the remnants of Tropical Storm Fred moved through the region and overwhelmed local waterways.

The Flood Response Fund is being administered by the United Way of the Southern Tier.

The organization quickly dispersed nearly $120,000 provided by the Corning Inc. Foundation, United Way, and private donations from individuals, community organizations and businesses in the immediate aftermath of the fl ood.

As of Monday, 60 homeowners had received assistance through one of three United Way partner agencies to

replace furnaces and water heaters or make other health and safety repairs.

Monday’s infusion of an additional $110,000 still won’t meet the full need in the area, according to Stephen Hughes, president and CEO of the United Way of the Southern Tier.

“This funding will help another 50 families, which is fantastic, but we’ll still have helped less than one-third of aff ected homeowners, with few covered by fl ood insurance,” said Hughes.

State and local offi cials were hoping FEMA’s Individual Assistance program would fi ll the funding gaps and help the hundreds of homeowners who have yet to receive support.

MAKING A MEANINGFUL DIFFERENCE

Guthrie makes me feel important When Jackie Brandow was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008, she made a promise to herself: Keep running. Her goal then was to become and stay healthy enough to celebrate 50 years as a runner.

After treatment at Guthrie, Jackie has been cancer-free since 2009. And although COVID has made it difficult to plan, she is hoping for “something big” to mark 50 years of running in 2023.

Jackie credits the Guthrie Corning Cancer Center for finding and treating her cancer quickly, without chemotherapy or radiation. Throughout her cancer journey, she felt supported and heard by her Guthrie team.

“The nurses knew me by name, were with me every step of the way, and even helped me find support from other women who had been diagnosed,” Jackie said. “My doctors supported my treatment decisions – I had a voice in my care.”

Since that time in 2008, Jackie has chosen Guthrie for a variety of her health needs – from walk-in care and regular eye exams, to specialized care in dermatology and occupational therapy. The Guthrie team, she said, gets to know her, her background and her health history, to provide the best care possible.

“Guthrie makes a meaningful difference in my life,” Jackie said. “They go above and beyond, and they always make me feel important.”

With locations in Bath, Corning, East Corning, Big Flats, Erwin and Southport, Guthrie is here for you, where and when you need care.

In an emergency, trust Guthrie Corning Hospital, a state-of-the-art facility also offering cancer care, surgical services, rehabilitation, medical imaging, labor and delivery, and more.

Whitetail scent communication critical for rut timing

By Oak Duke The Spectator

As humans, we are all but excluded from the world of scent when compared to many animals.

Dogs and whitetails, according to researchers, have 500 to 1,000 times more acute olfactory powers than do humans, as the critters possess more scent receptors, sometimes 50 to 1. Those of us who avidly pursue the whitetail fi nd that the deer’s world of scent is as perplexing to understand, as it is fascinating to study.

When we are fortunate enough to see a buck “work” a scrape, we are observing a very complicated olfactory ritual. That is, if we don’t get scented, or busted by the whitetail fi rst, especially at scrape sites where it seems deer have their full scenting and detecting abilities turned up to full power.

Much more going on at a scrape than merely the visual aspects we note. If we could only read a scrape the way whitetails and perhaps even other animals can.

Deer set their biological clocks at scrapes, synchronizing with each other to time the rut.

Once in a while we are fortunate indeed to be a spectator to this wild and very private moment when a buck is creating an eidolon of himself. This whitetail eidolon, basically a scent cloud representing the animal, is there for all other deer in the area, both bucks and does, to perceive even when the buck himself is down the ridge, or in an adjacent woodlot a mile away.

An eidolon in Greek mythology is a person’s phantom-double. And whitetail bucks bring all their glands in to play, literally placing scent from head to toe to create their own “phantom-double” at a scrape. Bucks need the “overhanging branch” at a scrape to hold the scent from the diff erent and unique glands on their head.

Often overlooked and underrated is the whitetail buck’s Forehead Gland. This major scent producer is located between the buck’s antler burrs. On older, more mature bucks, this gland secretes an oily, almost waxy substance.

See DUKE, Page 7A

It is not unusual for bucks to deposit scent high up on branches over a scrape, rubbing their forehead glands there. OAK DUKE

Stop and smell the mushrooms?

What’s Up at Mossy Bank Park D. Randy Weidner Guest columnist

Everyone who went to the Mossy Bank Park woods this fall was treated to a spectacular fruiting of wild mushrooms. Late summer and fall, before a killing frost, are the peak seasons for fi nding mushrooms.

The quantity and diversity of mushrooms is dependent on cumulative rainfall over this season, which clearly explains this year’s bonanza. By the end of September, Bath received the equivalent precipitation of an entire average year, and it just keeps on raining.

Scanning the forest fl oor in a stand of spruce, there seemed to be more than one mushroom every square yard. As expected, mushrooms that typically fruit in fall were the predominate species. There were all trophic strategies represented: saprophytes, parasites and mycorrhizals (those growing in association with tree roots). The mycorrhizals seemed to predominate, and included a few species that have not been seen for

years. Conditions were so fungal favorable that many mature mushrooms were attacked and distorted by parasitic molds.

Being attuned to the fungal world, it is easy for me to spot these lifeforms. In years like this, everybody notices. The bright colors or unique forms of some fruiting fungi attract photographers. Observing my fellow visitors to the woods, it is easy to see who has some experience identifying fungi and who does not.

Experienced mushroomers never hesitate to pick a mushroom, realizing that is roughly the equivalent of picking an apple from an apple tree. Neither activity has any signifi cant impact on the survival of the whole organism.

To accurately name wild mushroom species, it is essential to examine the entire mushroom, and proper examination requires utilizing all the senses. Visually, the shape, size, color and substrate on which it grows are important, as is hand-lens magnifi cation of certain structures on occasion. The feel of the tissue, its fragility, moisture, viscosity and texture are valuable clues.

See WEIDNER, Page 5A

GARDEN PATHS

More things to know about bulbs Brigid Galusha

Another slightly strange week. More like the October we used to know, but still warmer than usual.

What activities have kept you busy? Surfi ng?

Boating? Perhaps even swimming. Probably not gardening in any form. It really is too hot to cut down big shrubs, and if (like me) you have done most of the easy cutting down, now the only thing left is to pull out the dead fl owers (all of which are far from dead).

I refuse to destroy living fl owers while there are bees busy visiting them, so I need to fi nd another use for the garden space. Read a book, invite friends for a glass of wine, think about where to plant bulbs once it gets cold, plan a new look for your hospitality area next year, make a Christmas list, address holiday cards or stay out of the garden and go shopping.

Eventually, a frost will come and we will scramble to fi nish all our undone chores. Till then, don’t worry if it doesn’t get done this fall; there is always next spring! I refuse to spend one more 70-degree day wrestling with my butterfl y bush. It isn’t the cutting down; it’s getting rid of 10-foot branches. How I miss my golf cart and ravine, where everything could be dumped. Now they need to be cut into small sticks so they will fi t into a garbage can. Thankfully, it gets dumped!

While there isn’t much new that needs discussing, I thought I’d share some more information on bulbs.

(This may take a few columns!) It comes from a TimeLife book on bulbs written by James Crockett in 1971.

This book was from the fi rst gardening series. TimeLife put out another series in later years. I really don’t know why. It is hard to condense a whole book into a few paragraphs and even harder to choose which information to share, but I thought that knowing why you do what might be the most useful, regardless of which bulbs you choose to grow.

Though there are fi ve diff erent types of plants we call bulbs, they all share one characteristic: “A selfcontained food storage mechanism that has adapted itself to live underground.” Here are a few bulbs that I have grown in the past and still do, though on a much smaller scale: “Daff odils, tulips, crocus, lilies, Iris, Allium, cyclamens, hyacinths, dahlias, gladiolas and in this garden amaryllis. When buying bulbs, buy the best you can aff ord. There is no such thing as a cheap ‘bargain bulb.’”

Where to plant bulbs and why. Spring fl owering bulbs need moderately good soil and excellent drainage. They want moisture during their natural growing season and a dry summer. Why? These bulbs originated in a zone that extends from Portugal east across Europe, north Africa, the Middle East to Russia, Afghanistan and Kashmir. Though winter temperatures may vary a lot, the bulb’s growing seasons are wet and the summers that follow are dry. Eons ago, these bulbs adjusted their life cycles to the climates where they lived. These bulbs do not do well where the summer soil is wet.

On the other hand, summer and fall fl owering bulbs come from regions where rain is plentiful and the ground stays coolly moist year round. Many of these plants have adapted to shade gardens as long as they get a few hours of sunlight a day. (South Africa, South American jungles and the Caucasus Mountains are where these bulbs began.)

This column is too short for more today, but until frost arrives, more information will come.

Dialing

Not everything is changing

Continued from Page 1A

Users should contact their medical alert or security provider if they are not sure whether their equipment needs to be reprogrammed to accommodate 10digit local dialing.

Some examples of services that may need to be re-programmed are: h Life safety systems or medical monitoring devices. h PBXs. h Fax machines. h Internet dial-up numbers. h Fire or burglar alarm and security systems or gates. h Speed dialers. h Mobile or other wireless phone contact lists. h Call-forwarding settings. h Voicemail services and other simi-

Telephone numbers, including current area codes, will not change, nor will the price of a call, the coverage area, or other rates and services.

What is a local call now will remain a local call regardless of the number of digits dialed and individuals will continue to dial 1+ the area code + telephone number for all long-distance calls.

You can still dial just three digits to reach 911 (emergency services), 211 (social services and related help), 811 (Call Before You Dig) and others.

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline can still be reached by dialing 1800-273-TALK (8255) even after the 988 code is in eff ect.

Assistance Continued from Page 3A

The federal disaster declaration unlocked funding for emergency work, such as debris removal and permanent repairs to infrastructure including roads, bridges and public facilities like the Jasper-Troupsburg High School and Woodhull town highway garage that were damaged with heavy fl ooding.

Without the Individual Assistance approval, though, direct aid to families and individuals will be limited to donations.

After Gov. Kathy Hochul announced her appeal of FEMA’s decision, New York’s Senate delegation, Democrats Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, lobbied FEMA to reconsider the request.

“The people of Steuben County were completely battered by Tropical Storm Fred’s heavy rains and historic fl ooding that severely damaged Jasper-Troupsburg School,” said Schumer. “While the Public Assistance FEMA approved earlier this week will go a long ways towards cleaning up and healing the community, Individual Assistance is needed to truly help families and individuals recover from this devastation.

Weidner Continued from Page 4A

Finally, the smell of the mushroom, and sometimes even a taste of a tiny bit of the cap, provides critical clues.

The uninitiated might pick a mushroom and look it over, but I know this is someone with mycological experience if they smell or taste it. Providing you wash your hands afterward, there is no harm in handling any mushroom. David Aurora famously said, “There are no poisonous mushrooms, until you eat them.”

Our sense of smell is a wonderful gift for exploring things in nature, but it is far too underutilized. Odors that we can smell in living things are aromatic organic chemical compounds produced by that organism’s metabolism.

For mushrooms, over 300 distinct odors have been recorded, grouped into categories of fruity, sweet, fl oral, spicy, vegetal, chemical, animalic and nutty.

These mushroom odors can be sensed by plants; animals, especially insects; bacteria; and other fungi.

Chemical scents play a role in signaling interactions within the entire ecosystem, some as attractants, others as deterrents. What would a mycological olfactory exploration of Mossy Bank Park

The vegetal odor of raw potato is easily appreciated from the broken cap of the commonly encountered citron amanita (Amanita citrina).

A less common but very attractive mushroom, the pungent cystoderma (Cystoderma amianthinum), has the same odor as green corn, and is my favorite from the vegetal group. Coker’s amanita (Amanita cokeri) represents the chemical group with its faint chlorine smell. The animalic group includes the distinctly fi shy-smelling corrugated-cap milky (Lactarius corrugis). Finally, the nutty odor is obvious from the common almond-scented russula (Russula laurocerasi).

So when you are in the woods, do not hesitate to pick and examine the various mushrooms and other fungi. Use all your senses to get a true appreciation of these lifeforms. The aromatic sampler listed above is a small percentage of the 367 described mushroom species with characteristic odors. So now that the roses of summer are gone, do not forget to stop and smell the mushrooms!

New Pill For Weak Bladders Could Threaten The Adult Diaper Industry Studies show active ingredient rebuilds and safeguards bladder muscles without exercise; users report feeling more carefree and confident in just weeks. Helps bladder sufferers regain control over frequent urination, leaking, accidents, and nighttime urgency without side effects.

I

magine a pill that reduces your frequent, sudden, strong urges to urinate immediately.

Then think how great it would feel to no longer need adult diapers or pads during the day or night to prevent accidents.

Well, there’s no need to imagine. A team of scientists has delivered an amazing new pill for aging bladders.

Clinical results show the active ingredient restores better bladder control in just weeks.

Now after years of research and testing, doctors from coast-to-coast are recommending it to patients.

The developers of this amazing discovery have named it BladderMax. And there are some very good reasons why sales are booming.

To begin with, the clinical results were very impressive.

Bladder sufferers taking BladderMax’s active ingredient enjoyed being able to walk, laugh and go on long walks worry free. They enjoyed a better nights sleep, too. Some even reported enjoying a carefree sex life again.

BladderMax comes from a natural plant source. It’s safe.

It’s healthy. There are no adverse side effects. And since researchers believe it works to restore muscle tissue in the bladder, results can be seen quite quickly.

“Our goal was to formulate BladderMax so that bladder sufferers would feel results within 30 days,” said Richard Kevins, Developer of BladderMax. “And based on the feedback I think we hit the bullseye with this new pill,” added Kevins.

NO MORE ENDLESS TRIPS TO THE BATHROOM According to the National Institute of Health, as many as 33 million Americans are affected by bladder control problems, the majority of which choose to keep them a secret.

But thanks to BladderMax, bladder control issues may now be a thing of the past.

Many users are reporting a reduction in bathroom trips both day and night. Others are able to get back to doing the things they love without worrying about embarrassing leakages.

“Besides strengthening your muscles for better control,” says Chief Researcher Jesse Williams, “BladderMax also stops the hidden cause of muscle weakening and restores youthful bladder control. Something that no ordinary supplement, pad, diaper, drug or exercise can do.”

“And while no pill works for everyone, 92% of patients in clinical studies reported a higher quality of life in just days as a result of needing less diapers. That’s why so many doctors nationwide are now recommending it to patients,” added Williams.

RESULTS CONFIRMED IN CLINICAL STUDY The 8 week clinical study was carried out by scientists in Spain. The results were

NEW HOPE FOR BLADDER SUFFERERS: As new pill for weak bladders gains popularity, products like these will become less necessary. published in the Journal Of Medicinal Plant and Natural Product Research in 2016.

The study involved 50 women age 45-62 years old suffering from frequent and embarrassing bladder leakages. They were only told to take BladderMax’s active ingredient every day.

The results were incredible.

Taking BladderMax’s active ingredient significantly reduced both sudden urges to go and embarrassing urine leakages compared to the placebo.

In fact, a remarkable 69% reduction of nighttime bathroom trips was verified at the end of 8 weeks.

They also enjoyed a significant 67% reduction in panty liner use, and 73% reduction of embarrassing leakages.

With these studies medical doctors and researchers have now proven BladderMax to be a clinically effective treatment for reducing embarrassing bladder leakages and incontinence.

The findings are impressive, no doubt, but results will vary.

But with results like these it’s easy to see why thousands of callers are jamming the phone lines trying to get their hands on BladderMax.

HOW IT RESTORES BLADDER TONE AT ANY AGE When your bladder and pelvic floor muscles are strong, they can handle any extra pressure from a cough, sneeze, or laugh.

But just like muscles in your arms or legs, bladder muscles can shrink and weaken with age. They’re also weakened by pregnancy or weight gain.

Once the bladder sphincter and pelvic floor muscles are weak, any sudden pressure can push urine out of the bladder unexpectedly.

The natural compound found in BladderMax contains the necessary ingredients needed to help strengthen bladder muscles to relieve urgency, while reducing frequency.

Plus, it helps relax bladder muscles allowing for complete emptying of the bladder.

This proprietary compound is known as ‘UrgeFree’®.

CAREFREE HOLIDAY: New pill is giving aging couples freedom from leaky bladders without surgery, prescriptions, embarrassing diapers and exercises.

And with over 5 years of medical use there have been no adverse side effects reported.

This is a bonus for incontinence sufferers who have been taking prescription and over the counter medications that can cause memory loss, dry mouth, headaches, blurred vision and constipation.

This seems to be another reason why BladderMax’s release has triggered such a frenzy of sales.

RECOMMENDED

BY TOP MEDICAL DOCTORS “Many of my patients used to complain that coughing, sneezing or even getting up quickly from a chair results in wetting themselves and they fear becoming a social outcast,” reports Dr. Clifford James M.D. “But BladderMax changes all that.”

“BladderMax effectively treats urinary disorders, specifically overactive bladder,” said Dr. Christie Wilkins.

“I use BladderMax everyday for my overactive bladder. I also have my sister and mother taking it regularly as well,” said Dr. Jennifer Freeman, G.P. from NY.

DOUBLE YOUR MONEY BACK GUARANTEE Users of BladderMax report incredible results. That’s why it comes with an equally incredible guarantee.

“There’s only one reason why we can offer such a guarantee,” said Richard Kevins.

“It works for those who use it. It’s as simple as that,” he added.

Here’s how it works: Take the pill exactly as directed.

Then follow the simple instructions. You must be thrilled and amazed as your bladder control greatly improves.

Otherwise, return the product as directed and you’ll receive double your money back!

The Forehead Gland may even be stimulated enough to create the impression that the buck is wearing a “hair piece,” especially during the rut.

And when we see rubs on saplings, the torn up aspect to the bark and cambium layer of the tree may be in fact a visual incidental. The important part of the rub is the scent left by the Forehead Gland, more so than the visual rub, or tree scars we see. Bucks are observed rubbing this gland on the Overhanging Branch, over the scrape, and often on other nearby branches too.

And bucks also “mouth” and even seem to chew the Overhanging Branch, depositing their saliva and scent from their mouth.

Mock Scrapes, or manmade scrapes to attract bucks, can be enhanced by taking cotton swabs of saliva from recently killed deer, sealed for transport in a sealed sandwich bag, and then used to more eff ectively replicate a scrape.

Another way I have utilized the all important deer saliva is to take a licking branch over a hot scrape and then zip tie it over another scrape. Scrapes explode with action after a mobile branch is used in this way.

A third gland on the buck’s head is the Preorbital Gland. Scrape watchers notice the intensity and attentive focus a buck exudes as it works this gland, located at the corner of the scrape-maker’s eye, into the Overhanging branch.

The vast majority of bucks seen at scrapes spend much more time rubbing head glands and mouthing the overhanging branch, than pawing the soil.

Tarsal Glands are the most common-

ly known glands by deer hunters, and are located on the back legs, just above the hock. As the rut approaches tarsal Glands become increasingly dark and musky smelling.

Tarsal glands have been packaged and commercially sold to hunters and are used with success. I have used tarsal glands with great success, after cutting them from a buck on a previous year, frozen and brought out of the freezer for use during the following deer season.

Bucks put their back legs together at the scrape and urinate, taking the tarsal gland scent, along with other urine and internal glandular secretions down into the scrape. Bucks occasionally deposit their droppings in the scrape too.

Bucks paw the ground to kick back the leaf litter on the forest fl oor under the Overhanging Branch, exposing bare ground and at the same time depositing glandular secretions from two separate

going to overtime because the Bills defense played so poorly much of the night. Taking out kneel down possessions at the end of both halves, the Titans scored on their last six possessions, and I could see them winning the OT coin toss and driving right down to a game-ending TD because Buff alo had done nothing to stop Derrick Henry, A.J. Brown and Julio Jones in the second half.

On both points, McDermott agreed with me, saying, “I felt, ‘Hey, if we’re that far from potentially winning the game right there, it was the best thing we could do.’ And I owe that to my players, and I believe in my players. I believe in our quarterback. We hadn’t stopped them on defense for a number of drives there in the second half, really, so ... felt like we could go and win the game right there and obviously didn’t get it done.”

So, it was the right decision to go for it. But here’s where I disagree with offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, and by extension McDermott who, as head coach, would sign off on a critical play call like this: It was the wrong play call for the situation.

Sure, it’s easy for me to say that because Allen’s QB sneak didn’t work, partly because he slipped as he went to push off , and partly because left tackle Dion Dawkins got blown up so badly that even if Allen hadn’t slipped he probably wasn’t making it.

Here’s why it was the wrong play call: The Bills off ensive line simply isn’t stout enough to make that type of play work that close to the goal line. This is not a group of linemen who maul defenses in the run game, and down near the goal line, that’s what you need from

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (17) is helped up after his run was ruled short of the distance needed for a fi rst down on the Bills' fi nal play of the game against the Tennessee Titans in an NFL football game Monday, Oct. 18, 2021, in Nashville, Tenn. The Titans won 34-31. MARK ZALESKI, AP

the big guys up front.

ESPN had a stat that in his career Allen was 13 of 14 converting fourth-and-1 or less and the only fail was because of a botched snap. “Josh is usually spot on with those,” McDermott said. “You’ve seen him have a lot of success in those situations.”

However, I’d be curious to know how many of those came near the goal line where it’s much more diffi cult to convert than it is anywhere else on the fi eld.

For the life of me, I will never understand why off enses bunch everyone together on goal line situations like that and play caveman, 1950s-style football when they’re trying to gain a yard, a foot, or even an inch.

I guess they’re trying to prove how

tough they are, football being a tough man’s game and all.

But if I was betting man, I would wager a whole lot of money that if the Bills had spread the fi eld with receivers, which in turn would have pulled defenders away from the point of attack, they would have had an exponentially better chance of getting the fi rst down, maybe even a touchdown.

They had Stefon Diggs, Cole Beasley and Emmanuel Sanders on the fi eld, plus Zack Moss in the backfi eld and tight end Tommy Sweeney on the left side of the formation two steps off the line. That was all fi ne.

But why were Sweeney and the three receivers lined up so tight to the formation? This allowed the Titans to have all

glands, one on their legs and the other located in their feet, between their toes.

The Metatarsal Gland is as mysterious as it is obvious. It is located on the outside of each hind leg, a little over an inch in length. Scent from this gland can be left at the scrape during the urination phase in the same fashion as the Tarsal Gland, on the inside of the leg.

The interdigital gland is found between the toes of a whitetail. When the deer is threatened or perceives itself in danger, scent is deposited when it stamps its foot.

And when making a scrape, the interdigital gland’s secretions are “pawed” into the dugout portion of the scrape.

Deer lure manufacturers not only produce the widely used “estrus” or theoretically sex hormone-based lures from captive whitetails, but are now marketing other gland lures too.

Oak Duke writes a weekly column.

11 of their defenders in the box with fi ve linemen bunched right at the point of attack and the other six in close proximity to the line of scrimmage.

The options are so much more plentiful when you widen the fi eld because it spreads the defense out. If the receivers and Sweeney had been split out sideline to sideline, it opens up gaps in the defense that Allen could have exploited in several ways.

They still could have tried the QB sneak with Allen under center, only they’d be doing it with about 1,000 less pounds of Titans humanity in the way because they would have had to send men out to cover the receivers.

Allen could have been in shotgun for a QB keeper and that would have given him a running start, plus better vision to see where an opening might have been to exploit. He could have handed the ball to Moss who also would have had momentum moving toward the line.

He could have looked to pass, perhaps using play-action to Moss, and even then if no one was open, he would have had the option to scramble.

There were so many diff erent possibilities, but no, the Bills essentially limited themselves to only one option by trying to out-physical the more physical Titans.

It was dumb, and it was the fi nal reason, among many, why the Bills lost this game.

“I’m just trying to fi nd a window to get in there,” Allen said. “Quarterback sneaks aren’t the funnest play by any means, but I got to fi nd a way to get a fi rst down there. It happens.”

Yes, but it didn’t need to happen. Going for it was 100% the right call, the method of trying to make it is where the Bills blew it.
