Cottage Gift Shop, a Big Flats
business fixture, to close
Jeff Murray
Elmira Star-Gazette
USA TODAY NETWORK
Tom Gorman spent most of his adult
life working for the federal government
— first with the U.S. Army, and then as
an employee of the U.S. Postal Service —
before he decided to try something to-
tally different.
After taking early retirement from
the Postal Service in 2004, Gorman and
his wife purchased a business known as
Clorinda’s Country Closet from his sis-
ter-in-law, who opened it in 1988.
Gorman renamed the shop — filled
with primitive and country-themed
items — Cottage Gift Shop, and it con-
tinued to be a staple of the Big Flats
business community.
Now after 30 years at the same loca-
tion, the shop will this year as Gorman
plans to retire — for good this time.
“Five years ago, business peaked.
The last five years, it’s been slacking off
little by little, but closing has nothing to
do with that,” said Gorman, 59. “I want
to do a little traveling. We have three
kids — one in Wisconsin, one in Oklaho-
ma and one in Arizona. This will give us
a chance to visit them. My parents are in
South Carolina. I want to spend time
with them.”
Gorman almost took the business in

Trump plans border visit as
shutdown enters third week
WASHINGTON – With no break-
through in sight to end the partial gov-
ernment shutdown, President Donald
Trump plans a Tuesday night address
to the nation and a Thursday visit the
U.S.-Mexico border to highlight his
demands for a border wall. Newly em-
powered House Democrats, and at
least a few Republican senators, are
stepping up pressure on Trump and
GOP lawmakers to reopen the govern-
ment. Trump said he would discuss
the “Humanitarian and National Se-
curity crisis on our Southern Border”
at 9 p.m. EST. He maintains that more
than $5 billion is needed for a wall.
Ginsburg misses Supreme Court

WASHINGTON – Justice Ruth Bad-
er Ginsburg missed arguments for the
first time in more than 25 years as she
recuperates from cancer surgery last
month, the Supreme Court said. Gins-
burg was not on the bench as the court
met Monday to hear arguments. It was
not clear when she would return to the
court, which will hear more cases
Tuesday and Wednesday, and again
next week. Court spokeswoman Kathy
Arberg said the 85-year-old justice is
continuing to recuperate and work
from home.
California storm brings power
outages, shuts down highway
SAN FRANCISCO – Utility crews
worked Monday to restore power to
thousands of people after a winter
storm swept through Northern Cali-

and prompting the temporary closure

downed trees knocked out electricity
for nearly 90,000 customers across
the Sacramento region Sunday night.
By Monday morning, 13,000 custom-
ers still had no power.
Israeli PM rejects corruption

JERUSALEM – In what was billed
as a “dramatic announcement,” Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
used a prime-time address Monday to

that it would be “unjust” for him to be
indicted ahead of early elections

Trump counts on high
court to uphold policies
Issues include border
security, immigration
Richard Wolf
USA TODAY
WASHINGTON – President Donald
Trump is betting big on the Supreme
Court in 2019 to revive controversial
policies on issues ranging from immi-
gration and border security to trans-
gender troops in the military.
Seeking to match the success he had
at the high court on his immigration
travel ban against predominantly Mus-
lim countries last year, Trump is count-
ing on the justices – including two that
he picked – to reverse lower court
losses at the hands of both liberal and
conservative judges.
Waiting for word are more than
700,000 undocumented immigrants
brought to the United States as children
who could be threatened with deporta-
tion under Trump’s policy. Also in play
are some of the estimated thousands of
transgender troops serving in the mil-
itary and others seeking to join who
face a partial ban.
The high court is already slated to
hear a dispute over the Trump admini-
stration’s effort to ask about citizenship
in the 2020 Census. Other cases that
could be headed there eventually in-
clude Trump’s ban on asylum seekers
who enter the country illegally and his
threat to withhold federal funds from
“sanctuary cities” that do not fully co-
operate with immigration authorities.
In most of those cases, the Justice
Department took the unusual step of
seeking Supreme Court action before
lower-court appeals had run their
course. The administration railed
against local judges issuing nationwide
injunctions against Trump’s policies.
But the high court has been loath to
jump over lower courts.
“The executive branch is mistaken if
it looks to the Supreme Court to provide
a quick fix for their litigation problems,”
says Peter Margulies, a professor spe-
cializing in national security law at Rog-
er Williams University School of Law.

The arrest of a suspect in the drive-

prompted praise for local sheriff who
called for “important discussions”
about race and gun violence.

King Jr. is out of a job. A video posted to social media
of WHEC chief meteorologist Jeremy Kappell’s
broadcast Friday includes him apparently calling a
park named for the slain civil rights leader “Martin
Luther Coon King Jr. Park.” WHEC general manager
Richard Reingold wrote on the station’s website that
he was disheartened and disgusted that the words
were broadcast and regrets that they didn’t immedi-
ately apologize. He said the station made a “staffing
change” Sunday. Kappell tweeted Monday that “this
isn’t about race” and “I’ve never uttered those words
in my life.” Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren, who is
black, was among those calling for Kappell’s firing.
Defenders on Twitter argued he misspoke.
Police: Fatal shooting by
off-duty officer was justified
UTICA – Authorities said an off-duty Albany po-
lice officer won’t face charges for fatally shooting a
man who was robbing him at knifepoint in Utica. Ut-
ica police said Christofer Kitto, 34, of Albany used his
personal handgun to shoot Shatelle Hooks, 35, of
Syracuse around 5 a.m. Monday at a residence. The
shooting was found to be “justifiable homicide.” Po-
lice say Kitto had been at the nearby Turning Stone
Casino and was carrying more than $3,000 in cash.
While he wasn’t charged with the shooting, he was
charged with patronizing a prostitute. Police Sgt. Mi-
chael Curley tells the Utica Observer-Dispatch that
Hooks was an acquaintance of the woman who lived
at the residence where the shooting occurred. Albany
police said Kitto has been placed on administrative
leave pending an internal investigation.

Trump official delays plan
to move into NYC public housing
NEW YORK – A Trump administration official who
planned to spend January living in New York City’s
troubled public housing system said the experiment
has been delayed because of the federal government
shutdown. Lynne Patton is the regional administra-
tor for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development in New York and New Jersey. She
planned on staying with four different families at city
housing authority buildings over the month so she
could experience problems there firsthand. Patton
tweeted Monday that she’ll reschedule her stay after
the shutdown ends. Patton had been an assistant to
Eric Trump, one of the president’s sons, before join-
ing HUD. New York has been negotiating with HUD
over whether its public housing system should be
placed in receivership because of problems including
vermin, water leaks and lack of heat.
Police: Beaten, burned bodies
of dogs found in bag
LOCKPORT – Police said a highway crew found the
bodies of two small dogs that were apparently beaten

about 2 years old. The sheriff ’s office is asking any-

Ocasio-Cortez embraces ‘radical’ reputation

Chad Arnold
Albany Bureau
USA TODAY NETWORK

ALBANY – Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-

Cortez continues to make headlines.
The youngest women ever to be
elected Congress was sworn in last
week and has already become one of the
most outspoken members of the House.
Her progressive views have won her
favor with the left wing of the Demo-
cratic Party, while conservatives criti-
cize everything from her political inex-
perience to her attire to a video of her
dancing in college.
But Ocasio-Cortez, 29, who grew up
in Yorktown and now represents the
Bronx and Queens, doesn’t appear to be
swayed.
In a wide-ranging interview on Sun-
day night’s “60 Minutes,” she accused
President Donald Trump of being racist
and laid out her plans for Washington.
Here are five takeaways:
Enjoys being the underdog
Prior to her stunning primary victory
over the heavily favored Joe Crowley in
New York’s 14th Congressional District,
Ocasio-Cortez was a political unknown.
She was as a waiter and bartender
working in the Bronx before launching
her campaign.
Some of her detractors have sought
to exploit her inexperience, accusing
Ocasio-Cortez of being a political novice
with no understanding of how Wash-
ington works.
“I think it’s really great for people to
keep thinking that,” Ocasio-Cortez told
“60 Minutes’” Anderson Cooper.
When asked if she wants people to
underestimate her, Ocasio-Cortez said,
“Absolutely. That’s how I won my pri-
mary.”
Supports a ‘Green New Deal’
Ocasio-Cortez was elected on a pro-
gressive platform, part of which in-
cludes tackling climate change by mov-
ing away from fossil fuels to renewable
energies.
She supports a “Green New Deal” — a
plan that would shift the entire U.S.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a self-described democratic socialist. ANDREW HARNIK, AP
economy over to renewable energies in
just 12 years.
The plan is ambitious, something
Ocasio-Cortez admits.
“It’s going to require a lot of rapid
change that we don’t even conceive as
possible right now,” she said. “What is
the problem with trying to push our
technological capacities to the furthest
extent possible?”
Raising taxes to pay for it
Switching the country over to renew-
able energy requires money. And lots of
it.
To pay for it, Ocasio-Cortez has pro-
posed a progressive tax system, where
rates would increase based on an indi-
vidual’s income.
“Your tax rate, you know, let’s say,
from zero to $75,000 may be 10 percent
or 15 percent, et cetera,” she explained.
“But once you get to, like, the tippy tops
— on your 10 millionth dollar — some-
times you see tax rates as high as 60 or
70 percent. That doesn’t mean all $10
million are taxed at an extremely high
rate, but it means that as you climb up
this ladder, you should be contributing
more.”
The idea is nothing new. Sen. Bernie
Sanders, I-Vt., proposed a similar plan
during his 2016 bid for president as a
way of paying for universal health care,
something Ocasio-Cortez supports as
well.
The idea has become increasingly
popular among progressives, but has in-
voked images of places like Venezuela, a
socialist state facing economic hard-
ships recently.
Ocasio-Cortez said her views resem-
ble systems in places like England and
Norway.
“We only ask how we pay for it on is-
sues of housing, health care and educa-
tion. How do we pay for it? With the
same exact mechanisms that we pay for
military increases for this Space Force.
For all of these — ambitious policies,”
she said.
Believes the president is racist
Though outspoken, Ocasio-Cortez
has shied away President Donald
Trump, focusing instead on his policies.
“Because I think he’s a symptom of a
problem,” she said.
But when asked if she thought the
president is racist, she replied, “No
question.”
The problem, according to Ocasio-
Cortez, is racism, something she be-
lieves the president has not only given a
platform to, but helped expand in recent
years.
“When you look at how he reacted to
the Charlottesville incident, where neo-
Nazis murdered a woman, versus how
he manufactures crises like immigrants
seeking legal refuge on our borders, it’s
— it’s night and day,” Ocasio-Cortez
said.
A White House spokesperson to “60
Minutes” refuted the accusation, point-
ing to the recent criminal justice reform
package as well as the president’s con-
demnation of racism and bigotry.
Considers herself a ‘radical’
Some have accused Ocasio-Cortez of
being too radical in her views.
A self-described democratic social-
ist, Ocasio-Cortez doesn’t seem to mind.
“I think that it only has ever been rad-
icals that have changed this country.
Abraham Lincoln made the radical deci-
sion to sign the Emancipation Procla-
mation. Franklin Delano Roosevelt
made the radical decision to embark on
establishing programs like Social Secu-
rity,” she said. “You know, if that’s what
radical means, call me a radical.”
Critics, though, have ripped her pol-
icies and comments.
“Republicans: Let Americans keep
more of their own hard-earned money
Democrats: Take away 70% of your in-
come and give it to leftist fantasy pro-
grams,” tweeted Rep. Steve Scalise,
R-La.

Trump’s dealmaking faces test during shutdown
Catherine Lucey
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON – The partial govern-
ment shutdown is spotlighting the limi-
tations of President Donald Trump’s er-
ratic negotiating style.
With the impasse over Trump’s de-
mand for border wall funding dragging
into a third week, the president’s zigzag
tactics and messaging have angered
Democrats and frustrated even some
Republicans struggling to help find him
an off-ramp.
And while Trump’s blend of bluster
and bullying is hardly new – and at
times can produce results – his self-pro-
fessed dealmaking skills are now facing
a bigger test against newly empowered
Democrats.
So far, Trump is standing firmly with
the loyal supporters who want him to
fight for his promised wall along the

The midterm elections revealed a
deeply divided Republican Party and
saw major Democratic gains in states
that Trump will need to win re-election
in 2020.
Always his own biggest booster,
Trump declared himself “very proud of
what I’m doing” after a meeting with
congressional leaders on Friday that
produced no breakthrough.
Trump’s allies say he is simply keep-
ing a longstanding campaign promise
and they frame his focus on his base as a
smart strategy, since he will need to en-

Trump’s true believers aren’t even inter-

Offensive inefficiency was the or-

ton, where Horseheads’ girls pulled
out a 33-31 victory.
The Blue Raiders did not lead until
junior guard Jillian Casey converted
a three-point goal for the final points
with 19 seconds remaining, that shot
concluding a 6-0 final quarter for the
visitors.
Horseheads coach Andy Scott
paid tribute to a couple other guards
as well, one per side.
“I thought Avery Snyder played a
great game on Lexi Gruss. Gruss, to
me, is one of the top couple players in
the league,” he said of the Bingham-
ton senior, who had her junior season
abbreviated by a knee injury and
subsequent surgery. “Love her! Love
her! No one deserves more accolades
than her. She comes back, doesn’t
even wear a brace, looks the same
speed and everything. She’s fantas-
tic.

Elmira Star-Gazette
USA TODAY NETWORK
From local gyms to college stadiums
to international venues, athletes with
connections to the Southern Tier deliv-
ered sparkling performances in 2018
across several sports.
With that in mind, here are 10 people
who shaped sports in the Elmira area
and beyond. These are people either
from the area competing at home or
away, or people who competed in the
area in 2018, listed in alphabetical or-
der.
Johnny Beecher
Playing far away from Elmira is a
hockey player who is perhaps far and
away the city’s best hockey prospect
ever. Johnny Beecher suited up for
Team USA’s under-17 team during the
2017-18 season and is now a member of
Team USA’s under-18 team. He has
lived in Michigan for much of the last
year-plus as he trains and plays with
Team USA.
Beecher competed in the All-Amer-
ican Prospects Game in September and
recently signed a National Letter of In-
tent to play for the University of Michi-
gan. He could face a decision, with his
name among those mentioned as an
early pick in the upcoming NHL Entry
Draft. Through his first 30 games this
season with the under-18 team, Bee-
cher had three goals and 14 assists.
Olivia Coffey
For the woman who still lists Wat-
kins Glen as her home, 2018 was some-
thing of a worldwide tour Olivia Coffey,
who capped a memorable year by being
voted National Team Athlete of the
Year in the 2018 USRowing Fan’s
Choice Awards.
March saw Coffey help Cambridge
down rival Oxford in The Boat Race,
one of the premier athletic events in
the country, and one with a worldwide
audience. Nathan Mack of Spencer-Van Etten

The 10 worst missed field goals in NFL playoff history

Jim Reineking
USA TODAY
The Philadelphia Eagles earned a
stunning NFC wild-card playoff win
over the Chicago Bears after Cody Par-
key’s potential game-winning kick
bounced off both the upright and cross-
bar.
It was an awful way for the Bears to
lose the game. And, unfortunately for
Parkey, this miss likely will be remem-
bered for a long time.
Here are the most brutal missed field
goals in NFL playoff history:
10. Cody Parkey, 2018 NFC wild-

tipped by an Eagles player — sealed a 16- 8. Blair Walsh, 2015 wild-card play-

Fine start for SCC boys
Seton Catholic Central’s boys
opened the new year in fine form last
Thursday, with four two-digit scorers
contributing to a 76-61 home-court vic-
tory over Chenango Valley.
The Saints permitted four points
over a 71⁄2-minute segment overlapping
the halves to make it a runaway.
That made it four wins in the last
five games for the Saints, who played
three games during Christmas break in
Elmira’s Josh Palmer Tournament.
“Last year we were 1-2 in Elmira but I
thought it was a turning point of our
season. We were 2-1 this year,” said
coach Chris Sinicki.
The 2017-18 Saints advanced to the
Class B state championship game and
closed with a 23-3 record.
The 2018-19 Saints wrapped up
Palmer Tournament competition with
a 67-48 win over Archbishop Molloy of
Queens. Senior guard Tommy Demp-
sey made good on eight of 11 three-
point shots in a game that tipped off at
10 a.m.
“It’s not the Molloy of the Kenny An-
derson days but it’s still Molloy, still
from Queens and there are some guys
who can play ball down there,” Sinicki
said. “We played really well against
them. We shared it, Dempsey had 30 —
he’s just so under control, the game,
the ball, decisions, his pace. He’s not a
blazer but he picks his spots. He just
reads things really well.”
Sophomore guard Marcus Dyes col-
lected 14 rebounds in that game.
Next for Seton CC is a home game
Thursday against Susquehanna Valley.
The Saints were 10-point winners Dec.
7 at SV.
Home-court what?
Binghamton’s girls must regroup
from a startlingly unproductive offen-
sive showing to take on defending Sec-
tion 4 Class AA champion Elmira (6-2)
Tuesday on the Express’ floor.
Elmira was a 43-39 winner Friday at
Ithaca. In that game, junior Zaria De-
Member-Shazer’s first field goal
brought her 1,000th varsity point. She
closed with 11 points, 14 rebounds and
six blocked shots.

zerland, where Coffey contributed to a
bronze medal for the U.S. team at the
2018 World Rowing Cup III.
September took Coffey to Plovdiv,
Bulgaria, where she helped the United
States women’s eight team capture
gold at the 2018 World Rowing
Championships.
The Craig sisters
Elmira Notre Dame’s brief swim-
ming history is largely dominated by
two sisters from
Mansfield: Molly Craig and Cather-
ine Craig.
All Molly Craig did in her first season
at Williams College was to win the
NCAA Division III national champion-
ship in the 400-yard individual medley
, posting a time of 4:18.56 in the finals
at the Indiana University Natatorium
in Indianapolis in March.
Catherine Craig overcame illness
leading into the New York State Girls
Swimming and Diving Championships
in November at Ithaca College to finish
fifth in the 100-yard breaststroke, fol-
lowing a seventh-place state finish in
that event in 2017. Catherine is headed
to Bucknell University to continue her
swimming career.
Kiara Fisher
Elmira High’s girls basketball team
captured a second straight Section 4
Class AA title and earned the first state
tournament victory in program history
largely behind the legs, vision and tal-
ent of point guard Kiara Fisher.
Fisher averaged 17.5 points, 8.6 as-
sists and 4.9 steals, topping 1,000 ca-
reer points in her third season of varsi-
ty basketball. The Express’ record dur-
ing that stretch was 55-12. She was
named Elite 10 Player of the Year by the
staffs of the Elmira Star-Gazette, Itha-
ca Journal and Binghamton Press &
Sun-Bulletin.
Fans will have to wait until next sea-
son to watch Fisher again. The Syra-
cuse University commit is facing a
lengthy rehabilitation after undergoing
the hour’s bus ride only heightens the
challenge for Binghamton, coach Willie
Fann may not agree.
“Oddly enough, we play very well
away from here,” he said Friday night.
“At home, not so much. On the road?
Locked in, focused, in rhythm, swarm-
ing defense. We get here, I just don’t
know.”
Alphabet soup
When sectional play rolls around
next month in the Class A and B girls
brackets, two teams will enter having
not seen their opposition during the
regular season.
Owego, off to a 10-0 start, plays in
the Metro Division of the Southern Tier
Athletic Conference and faces Class A
and AA teams during league play, but
the Indians will compete in the Class B
tournament.
Seton Catholic Central is in the
STAC’s East Division and plays primar-
ily Class B teams. The Saints will de-
fend their Class A sectional title in Feb-
ruary.
“To go out there and see As and AAs,
those bigger schools definitely pre-
sents challenges every single night,”
said Owego coach Luke McEvoy, whose
team lost the Section 4 Class B final last
season to eventual state champion
Susquehanna Valley. “I think you saw it
last year, it prepared us for the postsea-
son run we had last year.
“One downside is you don’t see the
Bs. You don’t have that matchup until
sectional time, but we do a lot of scout-
ing.”
McEvoy confirmed he puts a lot of
miles on the car in the winter.
Indians have balance
Most knew about Owego’s dynamic
backcourt tandem of junior Kaci Dono-
van and senior Anna Felice coming into
the season. They’ve been performing at
a high level for several seasons.
In a 19-point victory over Maine-
Endwell on Friday, sophomore forward
Evee Coleman, a 6-footer, provided the
Indians an option in the low post. She
scored 16 points, despite dealing with
foul trouble.
“Her growth throughout the season
last year was immense,” McEvoy said
of Coleman. “She works hard all sum-
mer long. She is that key third piece
you’re looking for — defensively, re-
bounding and her offensive game is a
tough matchup for teams inside. She
season-ending surgery at the end of
2018 to repair a tear in her shoulder,
which bothered her for most of her
sophomore season.
Katie Granato
Elmira College’s exciting run to a
seventh appearance in the NCAA Divi-
sion III women’s hockey championship
game was clearly the work of a bunch
of people. Katie Granato was among
the key figures, finishing 11th in the na-
tion in scoring per game, with 42 points
on 22 goals and 20 assists.
The Soaring Eagles, who fell by a 2-1
score to Norwich in the title game, are
again among the top teams in the coun-
try thanks largely to Granato, a senior
forward from Naperville, Illinois. Elmi-
ra finished the 2018 part of the 2018-19
schedule with an 8-2-1 record and no
Division III women’s player scored as
many points as Granato, who regis-
tered 22 on 14 goals and 8 assists.
Molly Huddle
Huddle, an Elmira native and Elmira
Notre Dame graduate, added to her sta-
tus as one of the most decorated dis-
tance runners in U.S. history in 2018.
After a disappointing 16th-place fin-
ish at the Boston Marathon that was
largely caused by the cold and rainy
weather conditions that led to hypo-
thermia for Huddle, she bounced back
in spectacular fashion in June by win-
ning a fourth consecutive U.S. title in
the 10,000 meters at the USA Track &
Field Outdoor Championships at Drake
Stadium in Des Moines, Iowa. The
championship was a staggering 27th
national title for Huddle.
She finished 2018 with marathon re-
demption, finishing fourth against a
world-class field at the New York City
Marathon in November, adding to her
third-place effort in 2016.
Mike Limoncelli
For the first time in 20 years, the
Horseheads High baseball team ad-
vanced to the state final four. The Blue
Raiders did so with a strong lineup
from top to bottom, deep pitching and
strong defense. Junior right-hander
Mike Limoncelli excelled in all three.
stargazette.com ❚ TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 2019 ❚ 3B
has the ability to go outside as well.”
Donovan scored 31 points Friday and
looked impressive doing so.
When she’s leading a fast break,
finding teammates and penetrating in
the half-court, she looks like a guard,
and when she’s rebounding and de-
fending in the post, she looks like a for-
ward.
“All of our players have been getting
steals, not just one, two or three play-
ers,” Donovan said of the team’s 10-0
start. “Everybody’s playing really good
defense, everybody is rebounding, ev-
erybody is running up the court. We’re
all looking for open players.”
New coach familiar with roster
While it’s true Brianna Thompson is
in her first season as Maine-Endwell’s
varsity girls basketball coach, she’s
very familiar with the Spartans roster.
Thompson served as M-E’s junior
varsity coach last season and took over
the varsity this season for Richie Se-
buharara.
“I’m really lucky,” Thompson said
after her team’s 65-46 loss at Owego on
Friday. “I’ve coached some of these
girls since they were in middle school.
I’ve kind of grown up with them and I
was around them last year, which
helped. They’re responsive, they listen
and they want to learn.”
The guard-oriented Spartans are off
to a 5-2 start and senior Ashlynn
McKnight is a big reason. In scoring 22
points against the Indians, McKnight
hit two three-pointers, drove to the
basket, pulled up for mid-range
jumpers and turned steals into points.
Panthers on the prowl
Spencer-Van Etten’s boys bring an
8-0 record into the second week of
2019, the most recent success a 67-34
roll past host Waverly in which the
Panthers had a substantial rebounding
advantage.
The Wolverines were playing their
first game of the season without Scott
Woodring, a 6-foot-8 junior who aver-
aged nearly 33 points and 17 rebounds
through seven games. He sustained a
knee injury during a mid-week practice
and will be sidelined for an undeter-
mined period.
Meanwhile, Waverly’s girls im-
proved to 9-0 with a 70-31 win Friday at
S-VE, with Alex Tomasso’s 26 points
leading the way.
Limoncelli was the winning pitcher
against Kingston in the state quarterfi-
nals and ended up being one of only 11
players in New York state named to
USA Today’s American Family Insur-
ance All-USA New York Baseball Team.
His pitching record was 5-2 with a 0.73
ERA, with 51 strikeouts in 36 2/3 in-
nings. He batted .457.
In November, Limoncelli signed a
National Letter of Intent to play base-
ball for powerhouse Coastal Carolina,
which captured the national champi-
onship in 2016. He is ranked among the
top high school senior prospects by
Baseball America.
Robbie Nichols
After the demise of the Elmira Jack-
als following the 2016-17 season, pro-
fessional hockey returned to Elmira in
2018 following an absence of one sea-
son. The Jackals had entertained Elmi-
ra hockey fans since 2000.
The man mostly responsible for
games being played again at First Are-
na is Robbie Nichols, a former coach
and general manager for the Jackals
and the co-owner of the Elmira Pio-
neers, a summer college baseball team.
The announcement came July 17
that a team in the Federal Hockey
League would be owned by Nichols and
play in Elmira. A few weeks later, it was
revealed the new team would be called
the Enforcers. With work needed at
First Arena to get it ready, the home
opener didn’t come until Nov. 16. More
than 4,000 fans turned out, smashing
the league record for a single-game.
Eli Thomas
Former Express star Eli Thomas’
first season with the UConn football
team ended when he suffered a life-
threatening stroke in October. He has
fought back from that moment with
support from the Elmira community.
Whether he plays football again,
Thomas made a lasting impact for
UConn after battling back from three
torn ACLs. The Huskies finished with a
1-11 record and it was a last-play quar-
terback sack from Thomas deep in
UConn territory that preserved the
Huskies’ only win, 56-49, against
Rhode Island on Sept. 15.

contest.
7. Doug Brien, 2004 AFC divi-
sional playoff: A week after benefit-
ing from Kaeding’s untimely miss,
the Jets fell victim to an unfortunate
field goal miss of their own against
the Steelers. With the score tied 17-17
and four seconds remaining in regu-
lation, Brien missed from 43 yards
out. The game went to OT, which was
when the Steelers pulled out a 20-17
win when their kicker, Jeff Reed, con-
nected on a 33-yarder.
6. Lin Elliott, 1995 AFC divisional
playoff: The Chiefs were the AFC’s
top playoff seed in 1995 but were up-
set by the plucky Colts 10-7 at Arrow-
head Stadium. Elliott missed three
field goals in the loss, including one
from 42 yards out with 42 seconds
left in the game.
5. Jan Stenerud, 1971 AFC divi-
sional playoff: In the longest game in
NFL history, the Dolphins beat the
Chiefs, 27-24, in double overtime at
Kansas City’s Municipal Stadium.
Stenerud had a chance to deliver a
win for the Chiefs, but his 32-yard at-
tempt in the final minute sailed wide
right. He also had a field goal attempt
in OT get blocked.
4. Mike Vanderjagt, 2005 AFC di-
visional playoff: A Colts season that
started 13-0 ended in disappoint-
ment to the Steelers, who were the
AFC’s No. 6 playoff seed. Down 21-18
to the Steelers, Vanderjagt — famous
for being called the “idiot kicker” by
Peyton Manning a couple years prior
— lined up for a 46-yard field goal
with 21 seconds remaining. He
missed horribly.
3. Billy Cundiff, 2011 AFC Cham-
pionship Game: Down 23-20 to the
Patriots in Foxborough, Cundiff
missed a potentially game-tying field
goal with 15 seconds remaining,
sending New England to Super Bowl
XLVI. The 32-yard attempt came two
plays after the Ravens’ Lee Evans
dropped a possible go-ahead TD.
2. Gary Anderson, 1998 NFC
Championship Game: The Vikings
had the underdog Falcons on the
ropes late in the NFC title game at the
Metrodome. Up 27-20 with just over
two minutes remaining in the fourth
quarter, Anderson lined up for a 38-
yard field goal attempt. Anderson,
who was a perfect 35-for-35 on field
goal attempts during the regular sea-
son, missed. That allowed the Fal-
cons to tie it up in the final minute
and force overtime, which was when
Atlanta won 30-27 on Morten Ander-
sen’s 38-yard attempt.
1. Scott Norwood, Super Bowl
XXV: Norwood’s field goal miss is
easily the most grueling in NFL play-
off history. Norwood’s 47-yard at-
tempt with eight seconds remaining
sailed wide right, securing a 20-19
win for the Giants over the Bills in one
of the greatest Super Bowls ever
played. The defeat was the first of
four consecutive Super Bowl losses
for Buffalo.

Sensible border
security justifies
shutting down
government
For many in Washington, the debate over funding
for a wall between Mexico and the United States is a
purely partisan skirmish. Underneath, however, is a
real issue: securing the border.
Unregulated migration would be a strategic disas-
ter, not just for the U.S., but for the entire Western
Hemisphere.
Canada, for example, has one of the most disci-
plined and level-headed migration systems in the
world. Yet it has had to deal with spillover from our
chaos, as asylum-seekers drift north. For the first
time in a long time, a growing number of Canadians
are fretting over immigration and border policies.
Canada isn’t alone. Mexico has a problem as well,

Romney’s words ring hollow

with massive illegal border crossing on its southern
border; human trafficking fueling the criminal car-
tels; and warehousing the caravans headed to the
United States.
In Central America, unscrupulous politicians
cheerlead for caravans to undermine their own gov-
ernments. Meanwhile, Venezuelans pour into other
countries, like the fragile democracy that is Colom-
bia, threatening their stability by forcing them to host
massive illegal populations.
Once the world figures out that borders in the
Western Hemisphere mean nothing, the flood that
might turn toward the West could reach into the mil-
lions, if not the tens of millions.
The bottom line is that while our political parties
squabble over border funding — not unlike the crew
and passengers debating the color scheme in the
smoking lounge as the ship goes down — America’s
enemies could weaponize illegal migration. If this
isn’t stopped in its tracks, then the immigration
problems in Europe may well pale in comparison.
There is never a good time for a desperate fight.
But sensible border security is worth it. Time for both
sides to put the politics aside and come up with solu-
tions that deal with the magnitude of the impending
problem.

Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at

Let’s give Mitt Romney credit for one thing: He
knows how to draw headlines. Returning to elective
office Thursday as a newly sworn-in U.S. senator from
Utah, Romney had two days earlier published an opi-
nion essay in The Washington Post in which he harsh-
ly criticized President Donald Trump.
“It is well known that Donald Trump was not my
choice for the Republican presidential nomination.
After he became the nominee, I hoped his campaign
would refrain from resentment and name-calling. It
did not. When he won the election, I hoped he would
rise to the occasion. … But, on balance, his conduct
over the past two years, particularly his actions last
month, is evidence that the president has not risen to
the mantle of the office,” Romney wrote.
Utah’s junior senator managed not only to draw the
attention of news reporters and television pundits,
but also to attract the ire of the easily offended presi-
dent, who responded, as he so often does, on Twitter.
“Here we go with Mitt Romney, but so fast! Question
will be, is he a Flake? I hope not. Would much prefer
that Mitt focus on Border Security and so many other
things where he can be helpful. I won big, and he
didn’t,” Trump retorted.
This is just more bombast, more shadowboxing
from both sides. Don’t expect Romney to become the
conscience of the Republican Party any more than
former Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona (whom Trump refer-
enced in his tweet) was. As Flake did, Romney will at-
tract attention with thoughtful denunciations of
Trump’s behavior while backing the president up
with votes. Nothing will change in the GOP.
There really isn’t a Republican Party left. Its so-
called leaders abandoned any claim to principles or
standards or even policies when they caved to Trump,
allowing him to trample democratic traditions, to
abandon longtime allies, to set up a kleptocracy and
to kowtow to a longtime rival, Russia. They make
noises every now and then about holding the line and
reining him in, but they do nothing. The Grand Old
Party is now the party of Trump.
The best example of the fecklessness of the party’s
senior statesmen (and women) is their refusal to pass
a bill that would protect special counsel Robert Muell-
er’s investigation. Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell and other Republicans have insisted that
the investigation should proceed. But they will not
raise a barrier to Trump’s interference.
As for Romney, he is a first-class hypocrite who has
already shown his lack of backbone, his opportunism,
his tendency to do whatever he believes will advance
his political career. After all, he was against Trump
Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, participates in a mock
swearing-in ceremony Thursday with Vice President
Mike Pence on Capitol Hill.

before he was for him – and then against him again.
Romney blistered Trump in a speech early in 2016 –
before Trump secured the nomination – as a “phony”
and a “fraud” who “has neither the temperament nor
the judgment to be president.” Romney criticized
Trump’s economic policies, castigated the eventual
nominee for cozying up to bigots, and accused him of
engaging in “absurd third-grade theatrics.”
But after Trump’s election, Romney auditioned to
join his Cabinet as secretary of state. At that point,
Romney praised the president for his “message of in-
clusion and bringing people together” – a message
that most other observers missed entirely. In his 2018
Senate race, Romney graciously accepted Trump’s
endorsement, though he had said two years earlier
that he’d never accept an endorsement from Trump.
Perhaps the only Republican whose hypocrisy on
Trump comes close to Romney’s is South Carolina
Sen. Lindsey Graham, who regularly blasted the
president until a recent conversion to membership in
the president’s claque. To be fair, though, the only
principled Republicans are those who have never held
elective office. They remain committed Never Trump-
ers. The politicians are too afraid of a GOP base still
committed to Trump to defy him. Don’t expect them to
change in the coming year.
There will be change in Washington, however.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s energized caucus will
launch countless investigations into Trump’s mis-
deeds, perhaps leading to impeachment. The only
question for Republicans is how low they will sink as
they try to protect him.

Mom wrestles with kids in the grocery aisle

Ask Amy
Amy Dickinson
Dear Amy: I have a 3-year-old and a
5-year-old. My son (age 3) really acts
out when I take him shopping. I find it
very stressful and hard to control him.
He screams, kicks and bites me when I
try to keep him in the cart. If I let him
down, he runs and hides from me.
Do you recommend any tactics on
how to handle this? My husband works
a lot so I don’t have much choice but to
bring my kids along.
– Frazzled Shopper
Dear Frazzled: I shared your ques-
tion with Claire Zulkey: journalist, au-
thor of a parenting newsletter (zul-
key.com) and – like you – mother of two
young children. She responds: “Second-
born 3-year-old boys are the number
one cause of gray hair, at least in my
home.
“The ideal solution is to get out of
shopping with the kids, or at least the
youngest. If you can, throw bit of money
at the problem – ordering groceries on-
line, or hiring a babysitter for an hour so
you can shop solo. Unless cash flow is
very tight, don’t talk yourself out of this
like it’s a luxury. Your sanity is a worthy
investment, and your child won’t be like
this forever.
“Also, talk to your husband. Can he do
the shopping on the way home from
work, or stay home with the kids while
you shop? Or do you have a friend with
kids your age who will trade sits with
you?
“If those options are untenable, my
recommendation is to try to go to the
store as early as humanly possible when
the kids haven’t started to melt down
yet and, more importantly, the store has
fewer people in it to heighten the stress.
“Bring bribes/snacks/distractions
that you only pull out once you’re at the
store, including a device if you have to.
Mete the treats out over the visit if you
can – one or two fruit snacks per aisle.
Or if you’re really hard up, go straight to
the snack aisle. (Whatever you do, stay
away from tiny child-sized shopping
carts because those just annoy every-
one.) Hang in there, mom. You’re not
alone.”
I’d also recommend some old-fash-
ioned emotional manipulation. You
should play hard to get, by “refusing” to
take your youngest shopping. You get a
sitter or a friend to watch him. Tell him,
“Well, I’d like to bring you with us, but I
guess you’re not quite old enough. You
don’t know how to behave in the store.”
You take the oldest child with you.
You and the older sibling return, having
had a couple of adventures (you discov-
er artichokes, for instance).
Younger child will beg to go with you.
He will promise to be good. And you’ll
respond, “Well, I don’t know if you’re
ready. I’ll think about it.”
Dear Amy: “Caring Husband” report-
ed on his frustration with his wife, who
continues to claim that he “never lis-
tens.”
Amy, you missed the most obvious
solution! Dude needs to get his hearing
checked.
– Been There
Dear Been There: Yes! Although this
man’s hearing issues seem to be selec-
tive, I agree that this is a possibility.

Is published author experiencing writer’s block?

Dear Annie
Annie Lane
Dear Annie: I am a published author
and have been struggling to write my
next book. I’ve written a handful of
adult-oriented fictional books. My most
recent published book came out almost
five years ago. I’ve tried several times to
start the next book, but I haven’t been
able to get any thoughts together or
gather any momentum in the writing
process.
I never previously experienced any
writer’s block, so this five-year period is
challenging. My frustration has also
compounded during this period, and
I’ve walked away several times for ex-
tended periods of time. Any advice from
one writer to another? – Writer’s
Blocked
Dear Writer’s Blocked: Writing
about your own block is a great way to
get the creative juices flowing again.
Start every day by writing a stream of
consciousness. Don’t focus on specific
time requirements or topics. Just write
creatively. Don’t go back and read your
writings immediately. Let what you’ve
written age a bit, and start the next day
anew. Speak with your spouse, a close
friend or your therapist about the mean-
ing behind these writings. Inspiration
and meaning will find you as you let go
of the search for the perfect topic and
uncover what’s already hiding inside
you.
Dear Annie: My dad is full of inter-
esting stories. And he’s getting older;
he’ll be 70 soon. Though he’s in great
health, I know that my time is running
out with him. And I want to preserve his
stories so that they don’t die with him.
Do you have any advice on how to go
about this? – Mulling Over Memoir
Dear Mulling Over Memoir: It is ter-
rific that you’re thinking of this. What a
gift it would be to your father, yourself
and future generations of your family to
preserve these stories. On top of that,
the process of gathering this informa-
tion will bring you and your dad closer
than ever before.
Try to set aside one afternoon a
month to conduct “life interviews” with
your dad, accompanying him on a stroll
down memory lane. Record the conver-
sations using your smartphone or a re-
corder.
Dear Annie: As a therapist specializ-
ing in eating disorders, I applaud your
telling “Supportive Sibling” to talk with
her sister who has an eating disorder
before holiday dinners and to devise a
safe word to use in conversations if the
sister becomes uncomfortable. I would
add that “Supportive Sibling” should
ask her sister what would help her rath-
er than guess and should urge her to find
a therapist to help her overcome her
problems. Most people with eating dis-
orders cannot and do not resolve them
without therapeutic help.
Additionally, “Supportive Sibling”
should advise everyone in the family
that no one should be telling any adult
how or what to eat or what to weigh.
Though often well-intended, these re-
marks are counterproductive and must
be banned during the holidays and year-
round. – Karen, LCSW
Dear Karen: I’m printing your letter
for the benefit of “Supportive Sibling,”
as well as the friends and family of any
of the 30 million people in the United
States who have eating disorders.

Holiday Mathis
B.C.

Aries (March 21-April 19). Maybe it

seems backward, but more practice and
preparation won’t lead to a better per-
formance today. Doing well has to do
with mindset and attitude more than
anything else. Commit, believe, trust
yourself.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). At your
beetle bailey

core you are a wise, powerful, beautiful

being. You don’t always believe it. There
are some layers of protection and bag-
gage to shed, and once you do, your spir-
it will be abler to move, stretch and
dance.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). While it’s
been convenient for you to conform,
echoing the preferences, interests and
attitudes of those close to you, it’s not
quite what you really want.
dennis the menace Cancer (June 22-July 22). Practical
matters require attention, especially
blondie

having to do with the maintenance of

what you own.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re ready to
examine an unrealized past goal to de-
termine why it didn’t happen, whether
it’s still something you want, and how
you might do things differently going
forward.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A real
friend brings out the best in you, is un-
daunted by your weakness and un-
Candorville

threatened by your greatness and gen-

erally seems to amplify your strengths
just by being near.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Remember
the time you got what you wanted and
somehow it didn’t make you happy?
Join the club.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You know
that challenges call out the best in you,
Family circus as do irritations, annoyances, inconve-
niences and other obstacles.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The

term “mansplaining” describes the giv-
ing of unnecessary explanations out of
an incorrect assumption of the other
person’s ignorance.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There
are three C’s that will be the guiding
lights of your day – clarity, courage and
confidence.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re
really feeling full today, like you don’t
need too much out of life to feel good
and positive, and what you do need you
can provide for yourself.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). A problem

is a circumstance that impedes you
from completing a task or from getting
