COVID-19 pandemic brings increased burden on mental health
If you or a loved one needs help, you can contact the New York State COVID-19 Emotional Support Hotline at 1-844-863-9314. “People are feeling pretty isolated, and that’s something our organization plays a critical role in the community, helping to address issues like isolation,” said Leahey. MHAST Executive Director Keith Leahey says the line is there for people who need someone to talk to. At the Mental Health Association of the Southern Tier (MHAST), they offer a “warm line” where people can call for support. However, since the pandemic has started, MHAST has since an 80 percent increase in calls to their warm line. For organizations like MHAST, there’s a concern that government funding will be reduced due to the coronavirus. If that were to happen, MHAST would not be able to provide their mental health resources. “We know that this is going to be a long term need, and service is going to be at record levels, there’s no question about that. The state is facing some pretty difficult budget-related issues,” said Leahey. Right in the Southern Tier, mental health experts say New Yorkers are feeling the isolation that comes with staying at home. “If you just look at the latest on unemployment numbers, we have 38 million people who are out of work. You have parents who are home, who are trying to not only work and provide and take care of things at home, but many of them are now teachers as well,” said Leahey. With the growing number of phone calls, Leahey says he’s confident this mental health crisis won’t be going away anytime soon. Leahey says a common feeling everyone seems to be sharing is the feeling of being isolated. “We received just over 3,000 calls in the first quarter of 2020,” says Leahey. (WBNG) — According to the American Psychiatric Association, more than one-third of Americans say the pandemic has had an impact on mental health. 
Old Union Hotel suspends indoor dining after employee contracts virus
BINGHAMTON (WBNG) — The Old Union Hotel is changing the way it operates temporarily after one of its employees tested positive for COVID-19. The restaurant says it will close Aug. 4 but reopen Aug. 5 for takeout only. It will not reopen for dine-in services until Aug. 12.

The Broome County Health Department did not issue a public health statement about this positive case.
The infected employee last worked on July 29 and wore a mask during their shift, the restaurant says.

Hull stun champs Leicester, Guardiola makes winning start
London, United Kingdom | AFP |Hull 2 Leicester 1Burnley 0 Swansea 1Crystal Palace 0 West Brom 1Everton 1 Tottenham 1Manchester City 2 Sunderland 1Middlesbrough 1 Stoke 1Southampton 1 Watford 1Playing SundayBournemouth v Manchester UnitedArsenal v LiverpoolPlaying MondayChelsea v West HamLeicester City’s Premier League title defence got off to a dismal start as crisis-club Hull clinched a 2-1 win over the champions, while the Pep Guardiola era at Manchester City started with a dramatic 2-1 victory against Sunderland on Saturday’s opening day.Three months on from their 5,000-1 fairytale title triumph, Leicester fell to Scottish winger Robert Snodgrass’s 57th-minute strike after Riyad Mahrez had cancelled out Adama Diomande’s opener.Leicester’s stumble was followed by an equally gripping encounter at Eastlands, where new City manager Guardiola enjoyed some good fortune in his first Premier League match.Sergio Aguero’s early penalty for City was erased by Jermain Defoe’s second-half equaliser before an 87th-minute own goal from debutant Paddy McNair gifted the points to Guardiola’s side despite their inconsistent display. “The first games are always difficult. Sometimes, you are little lucky,” Guardiola said.“We should have been a bit more aggressive but these things have to happen to get better in the next game.”Leicester are the first defending English champions to start the campaign with a defeat since 1989, when Arsenal lost at Manchester United, and boss Claudio Ranieri admitted it was a sign of the tough campaign ahead.“I told my players this season will be harder than last season,” said Ranieri, whose side lost only three times last season.“For this reason I told them we must be very strong together because last season we showed ourselves as a very good team and we need to repeat that.”Leicester went behind in first-half stoppage time at the KCOM Stadium when Kasper Schmeichel parried Curtis Davies’s header and Diomande and Abel Hernandez launched themselves at the loose ball. Both men attempted an overhead volley; Hernandez made contact first, but the ball flicked off Diomande’s foot and flashed into the net.Mahrez equalised from the penalty spot in the 47th minute after Tom Huddlestone clipped Demarai Gray from behind, although replays showed the foul occurred outside the box.But 10 minutes later Hull secured victory when Danny Simpson could only partially clear Ahmed Elmohamady’s cross and Snodgrass thrashed the loose ball home.Hull are without a permanent manager following Steve Bruce’s resignation last month and had just 13 senior players in their match-day squad.“It was great to see the team and staff all pull together and surprise so many people,” said caretaker manager Mike Phelan. Share on: WhatsApp Lamela rescues Spurs After trophy-laden spells with Barcelona and Bayern Munich, Guardiola quickly put his stamp on City with debuts for new signings John Stones and Nolito and a surprise decision to replace goalkeeper Joe Hart with Willy Caballero.Guardiola’s debut began in ideal fashion when Raheem Sterling won a fourth-minute penalty after a foul by Patrick van Aanholt.Argentina forward Aguero drove in the spot-kick, but Sunderland equalised in the 71st minute.Jack Rodwell slipped a pass through the heart of the City defence to Defoe, who slotted past Caballero.That set the stage for a late flurry of City pressure which culminated in former Manchester United defender McNair heading a Jesus Navas cross into his own net from close-range.Meanwhile, Erik Lamela equalised to earn Tottenham — last season’s third-place team — a 1-1 draw at Everton.Ross Barkley gave Everton, managed by new boss Ronald Koeman, a fifth-minute lead at Goodison Park with a free-kick that eluded everyone and curled into the net.Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris limped off with a hamstring injury in the 35th minute.But Lamela equalised in the 59th minute with a header from Kyle Walker’s cross.“The first half was difficult for us and we did not play well,” Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino said.“Lloris got injured and that was a big impact on us. In the second half we played as we usually play.”Koeman added: “I think it’s a fair result. I’m very pleased about our first performance against a very good team.”Meanwhile, Swansea won 1-0 at promoted Burnley courtesy of an 82nd-minute strike by Leroy Fer.Salomon Rondon’s 74th-minute header earned West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis a 1-0 victory at his former club Crystal Palace.Southampton manager Claude Puel and his Watford counterpart Walter Mazzarri started life at their respective new clubs with a 1-1 draw at St Mary’s.Etienne Capoue put Watford ahead in the ninth minute, but Nathan Redmond levelled in the 58th minute before Hornets midfielder Ben Watson was sent off.Middlesbrough were denied victory in their first top-flight game since 2009 as a 67th-minute free-kick by Xherdan Shaqiri earned Stoke a 1-1 draw after Alvaro Negredo’s 11th-minute opener.
Tearful Allegri reveals Juventus ended his trophy-rich reign
The pressure to bring the much-desired trophy back to Turin for the first time since 1996 was also alleged to be part of the fall-out, and club chairman Andrea Agnelli said the final decision had been his.“This was the most difficult decision I have made during my time at Juventus,” said Agnelli, who sat alongside Allegri in the press conference.“After the defeat against Ajax, I was sincerely thinking of continuing with Max.“It was hard to understand together that it was the right time to bring an end to one of the most extraordinary cycles in Juve’s history.”Agnelli refused to answer questions concerning the next coach, while Allegri remained vague about his future.“I don’t know, we’ll see, maybe a break would be good for me, but maybe as early as July 15, I’d like to go back in,” he said.“It’s going to depend on me, what’s going on. I have to evaluate the things that will be offered to me.”Allegri’s final home match in charge with be Sunday’s Serie A clash against Atalanta.“Tomorrow, we have to celebrate … We have to celebrate because these last five years have been absolutely wonderful.”Share on: WhatsApp Massimiliano Allegri. PHOT via @juventusfcenTurin, Italy | AFP | Massimiliano Allegri fought back tears as he revealed on Saturday that it was Juventus’ decision to end his five-year reign during which he guided the Serie A giants to 11 trophies.“We looked at the future of Juventus and the club decided to move in a different direction next year without me,” the 51-year-old told a press conference at the Allianz Stadium.“But that doesn’t change anything. We have grown together and it is the right moment to leave the club in the best possible way.”Juventus have already wrapped up their record eighth consecutive title, which was Allegri’s fifth in as many years. He also lifted the Coppa Italia on four occasions since replacing Antonio Conte in 2014, and reached two Champions League finals.The former AC Milan and Cagliari boss — who had one year left on his contract — said he accepted the club’s decision as he tried not to cry in front of his team, who were sat in the front rows of the press conference.“In professional life, there are times when we separate,” he said.The split comes after a reported spat with directors including former Juventus legend Pavel Nedved and Fabio Paratici over what direction the club should be taking.– Euro fall-out –Despite signing Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid last summer the Bianconeri failed to make it past the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the second successive season.They were humiliated by modest-spending Ajax despite a star-studded side including Ronaldo, Argentina’s Paulo Dybala and French World Cup winner Blaise Matuidi.

The roommate had already been in custody for car theft. When questioned, the roommate told police he obtained the stick of dynamite in the 7900 block of Haskell Avenue, Lopez said. “When officers arrived there were two individuals in there,” Lopez said. “The Los Angeles Police Department is taking every measure to make sure all precautions are met.” Earlier reports said one of the suspects at the Haskell Avenue building was a woman. VAN NUYS – A man suspected of having explosives was arrested Tuesday after barricading himself in a building in an industrial area that was evacuated by police. Businesses along the 7900 block of Haskell Avenue were shut down at about 2:45 p.m. as authorities investigated reports of explosives in the area, said Los Angeles Police Department spokesman Mike Lopez. Another man was detained when police approached the 800-square-foot building. The other man barricaded himself for several hours before surrendering to police in the evening, Lopez said. “What we’re doing now is conducting interviews with the individuals to find any explosives inside,” Lopez said.
