12 SPORTS THURSDAY, MAY 2, 2019 KINGSTON TIMES Year Four: We want more Stockade FC looks to return to ’17 form after a less successful ’18 BY CRISPIN KOTT

ingston Stockade FC will open its fourth season of local soccer at Dietz Stadium on Saturday, May 4. KThey’ll host the New York Cosmos, the reigning champion of the North Atlantic Conference of the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL). The game will mark the official debut of head coach Jamal Lis-Simmons, the club’s former defensive star who hung up his boots and picked up a clipboard at the end of last season. He takes over for David Lind- holm, who stepped down after two seasons at the helm. Lis-Simmons said his squad of familiar faces and new recruits are ready for the rigors of the 2019 season. “So far, so good,” he said. “I’ve been satisfied with our training sessions for the last month or so, and I think guys are excited for the season to begin.

The only trouble is, for the first few weeks of the season. Many clubs in the victory over Boston City FC in the conference finals on things don’t always go right. NPSL rely on talented college players to fill out their July 15 of that year, and locking down its first-ever trip “The best and the worst thing for the club was rosters, but those players can’t fully commit themselves to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

That’s partly due to the growing popularity of Stockade FC among soccer players. “Every season the profile of the club gets a little bit bigger,” said Crowley. “And every season you’ve got more players from further away who want to come spend their summer in the Hudson Valley.” Lis-Simmons, a captain and defender beginning with Stockade’s inaugural season before taking the Your experts in emergency care just got faster. reins as coach last autumn, agreed. “Our club has gained some good notoriety in the When an emergency strikes, you want access to physicians first three years,” said Lis-Simmons. “I think there is who are board-certifi ed in emergency medicine and a little bit of a buzz, and guys see some of the success we’ve had and the special home field atmosphere that backed by a full-service hospital, but what about the wait? our community has created.

For Lis-Simmons, the game against the Cosmos is one of many this season, and he hopes they’ll come away with a win to set the tone for the challenges ahead. “We’re excited to start the season,” Lis-Simmons said. “We like our chances. Health is a big thing, but if we can stay healthy we have the pieces to be able to compete for this conference. In terms of the game stuff, our mentality is to try to win every game. We’re in the process of trying to put together a game plan to try to get all three points against the Cosmos.” More games than ever Stockade FC plays in the NPSL’s North Atlantic Conference, and its schedule of 14 regular season games is the longest in club history.

The Kingston Business Alliance is an amalgam of IT’S THE ECONOMY businesspeople from the three major neighborhoods Geddy Sveikauskas in Kingston. It meets every other month on the third Wednesdays, alternating between breakfast and lun- cheon meetings. At this time, it has no staff and no membership dues. O’Connor barely mentioned Rupco’s role as partner with FOHK in the Frog Alley project. His agency’s role Change in one community seemed analogous to what something one neighbor in a small community does with and for another. But of course Rupco’s participation has played a constructive major part in moving the project forward expeditiously. Financially, Rupco is by far the larger non-profit, with a three-million-dollar annual payroll in com- parison to FOHK’s single employee, Jane Kellar, and a $50,000 payroll. Rupco’s 2017 federal tax return showed $16.8 million in total assets and $11.4 million in assets minus liabilities. According to its 2017 federal tax filing, FOHK has about $800,000 in assets and earns about $150,000 in annual support.

pring flowers have been blooming this past week on the outer perimeter of the graveyard Sof the Old Dutch Church in what was once the southern end of the 17th-century Stockade. For several years previously the planting had consisted only of stately red tulips. This year the tulips had been joined by a cheerful mix of yellow and cream daffodils that added a less formal air to the setting. The only row of single tulips that remained was on a path from Fair Street to the church. Near the Main Street entrance stood a small handful of grape hyacinths. Some people were happy with the floral change. Others, not quite so much. But overall the change of landscaping seemed a gesture that was appreciated. It provided an acceptable interplay between past and present, incorporating continuity, respect and a sense of playfulness in this unique and remarkable setting.
