Sawyer’s loyal
fans stick with
him to the end

Recorder News Staff
After weeks as the front runner on
NBC’s “The Voice,” Glen teenager
Sawyer Fredericks was declared the
winner late Tuesday night during the
show’s finale.
Fredericks was greeted on stage by his parents
after being named the winner. As confetti showered
him, he sang “Please,” a previously unreleased song
written by his idol, Ray LaMontagne. At 16 years of
age, Fredericks is the show’s youngest winner in its
eight seasons.
For being crowned the winner, Fredericks won
$100,000 and a record deal with Universal Music
Group.
Fredericks was also awarded a new car, which he
can’t drive because he doesn’t have a license. He
said he’ll likely give it to his mom, Kirsten.
Despite his rise to fame before — and because of
— millions of TV viewers, his immediate plans are

America’s newest singing star and winner of “The Voice” Sawyer Fredericks
smiles for the camera during his hometown visit at the Fonda Fairgrounds May 6.
The afternoon showers didn’t
dampen the spirits as hundreds of
fans gathered on the South Side of
Amsterdam for the official Sawyer
Fredericks block party at Parillo’s
Armory Grill Tuesday evening.
Fans from across the region eagerly
awaited the season finale of “The
Voice” and many in attendance had
little doubt who would bring home
$100,000 and a recording contract
when the night concluded.
“Sawyer is the most talented hands
down and I think they even know it
because they always save the best for
last,” said one of the weekly event
organizers, Mary Lou Schultz.
The Amsterdam resident said she
has been working with owner Jackie
Parillo and Linda Santoro to organize a weekly gathering at the Bridge
Street landmark.

School budgets approved across the region
Combined staff report
Across the region, school budgets
were given the green light Tuesday.
The following is a breakdown.
Greater Amsterdam School District
voters approved a $65 million budget
by a 478 to 328 count, according to
unofficial results.
The GASD budget increases spending by 2.8 percent and includes a 2
percent tax levy increase.
“I am very pleased the community
supported the budget,” Superintendent
Thomas Perillo said. “It does show
that they appreciate and understand
our mission, which is to provide an
excellent academic program to our
students, while being fiscally responsible to our taxpayers.”
Based on the increase, a city resident
will see a school tax rate decrease of
76 cents per $1,000 of taxable assessed
value. In the town of Amsterdam, the
school tax rate will increase $12.37 per
thousand. In the town of Florida, the
increase is $2.38 per thousand.
“I am really glad that people really
thought about it and was informed
enough to pass it,” District Treasurer
Kim Brumley said. “I am very happy.”
Incumbent Gavin Murdoch was reelected to the board of education with
478 votes. Newcomer Jackie Marciniak won the seat held by outgoing board
member Leon Gray. Marciniak received
402 votes. Candidate Kathy Hans
earned 377 votes; Lisa Choat garnered
170. Murdoch and Marciniak will each
serve three-year terms starting July 1.
A proposal to levy a tax to support
the Fort Hunter Free Library failed by
a vote of 467 to 325.

House panel subpoenas
Hillary Clinton confidant
WASHINGTON (AP) — A
longtime confidant of Hillary
Rodham Clinton has been subpoenaed to testify before a special House panel investigating
the deaths of four Americans at
the U.S. diplomatic post in
Benghazi, Libya, according to an
official familiar with the probe.
This official, speaking to The
Associated Press on condition of
anonymity, said the subpoena
was issued by the panel headed
by Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C. The
official declined to be identified
publicly because he wasn’t
authorized to discuss by name an
investigation still in progress.
The panel has “a number of
questions” for Sidney Blumenthal,
the official said, including whether
he had any business arrangements
that led him to send emails to
Clinton and other officials concerning Libya while Clinton was
secretary of state. Blumenthal was
not an employee of the State
Department at the time.

ORDERS
ACCEPTED
Clinton had initially been
expected to testify this week on
the September 2012 attacks that
killed four Americans, including
U.S. ambassador Christopher
Stevens, but her testimony was
put off after Gowdy complained
that he lacked the necessary State
Department documents to thoroughly question her. Clinton,
who is seeking the Democratic
Party’s presidential nomination,
was in Iowa Tuesday for a campaign appearance.
Rep. Elijah Cummings of
Maryland, ranking Democrat on
the panel, issued a statement
Wednesday assailing the committee’s GOP leadership for its handling of the subpoena.
“There was no need for the
Select Committee to send two
U.S. Marshals to the home of
Sidney Blumenthal...especially
since the committee never bothered to contact him first to ask
him whether he would voluntarily
come in,” Cummings said.
“These latest moves by the
Benghazi Committee — issuing a
subpoena without first contacting
the witness, leaking news of the
subpoena before it was served,
and not holding any committee
debate or vote — are straight out
the partisan playbook of discredited Republican investigations,” the
congressman added. “The fact is
that we have had these exact
emails for three months, and the
latest abuses by the committee are
just one more example of a partisan, taxpayer-funded attack
against Secretary Clinton and her
bid for president.”

Police searching
for lake boater
CHAUTAUQUA (AP) —
Police say they’re continuing
their search for a man who’s
missing and presumed to
have drowned while fishing
on Chautauqua Lake.
State police say they’re not
totally certain where 64-yearold David Spink of Varysburg
in Wyoming County fell overboard after he launched his
boat last Wednesday at the
public boat launch at
Prendergast Point, on the
lake’s western shore in the
town of Chautauqua.
Spink planned to pick up a
friend nearby but never
showed up. He was reported
missing by his family the next
day.
Spink’s empty boat was
fond Thursday night at Long
Point State Park on the lake’s
eastern shore.
Police have conducted air
and water searches but so
far haven’t turned up any
sign of him. They’re now
describing the search as a
‘’body recovery” mission.

Spa city OKs new
regs for street acts
SARATOGA SPRINGS (AP)
— Street musicians and
artists who want to perform in
Saratoga Springs will have to
abide by a new set of regulations passed by city officials.
The Times Union of Albany
reports that the City Council
voted 4-1 Tuesday to enact a
new busker law that restricts
where street artists can perform.
The new law prohibits performances from within 50 feet
of another performer or a city
event, and it requires musicians to keep the noise level
below 80 decibels at a distance of 50 feet. Artists will
be allowed to perform from
10 a.m. through midnight.
The regulations were
sought by downtown business owners who said the
increasing number of street
musicians who perform during the warm-weather
months was leading to
obstructed sidewalks and
entrances to stores and
restaurants.

Broadalbin-Perth
School district voters here
handily approved a $32.85 million 2015-16 budget, and reelected two incumbent board of
education members.
Approximately 65 percent of
voters supported BroadalbinPerth’s proposed spending plan
for next school year, which was
approved 536 to 279, according
to unofficial results. The budget
increases spending 4.3 percent,
or $1.35 million, and holds a
property tax levy increase at
2.23 percent, which falls within
the district’s state-mandated tax
cap. The approved plan has an
anticipated tax levy of $13.9
million, which is an increase of
about $304,000. The spending
plan taps almost $1.35 million in
fund balance.
Overall, state aid to the school
district is projected to increase
around $875,000, or 5.4 percent,
and totals about $17.13 million.
The budget maintains programming and services, according to
district officials, includes a
$550,000 hike in health insurance
premiums, and an increase of
around $375,000 on pension costs.
“As a public employer our most
significant cost in any budget will
always be salaries and benefits,
and they will always increase
from one year to the next by contractual obligation,” Superintendent Stephen Tomlinson previously said. “Despite those costs
we were able to stay within the
tax cap and still find some program enhancements.”
Some proposed enhancements
include hiring a secondary technology teacher to enhance
STEM programming and adding
a drama program for sixth- to
eighth-grade students.
Voters also approved a proposition allowing the purchase of
four 66-passenger buses by a
margin of 591 to 221, according
to unofficial results. The buses
will cost about $460,000 and the
state will cover approximately
79 percent of that, which reduces
the local share to about $97,000.
Most of the new buses will
replace ones that are beyond life
expectancy.
Voters re-elected incumbents
Keith Buchanan and Charlie
DeZolt to serve five-year terms
on the board of education, with
each candidate respectively garnering 559 and 465 votes,
according to unofficial results.
Michael Eglin received 306 votes
and David Huckans earned 263.
After residents cast their ballot
they were invited to weigh in on
a potential capital project that
could go before district voters
next year.
A question in the annual exit poll
survey asked residents to choose
among a list of options that they
would like to see addressed in a
2016 capital project. The options
include reconfiguring the schools
so all elementary students are at
the Perth campus and all secondary students are at the Broadalbin
campus; expanding and redesigning parking and traffic flow at the
Perth campus to address safety
concerns; and installing solar
and/or geothermal energy systems
at both campuses to provide longterm savings on heating, cooling
and energy costs.
Canajoharie
Voters in the Canajoharie
Central School District approved
the 2015-16 budget, 387 to 315.
“Thank you to all district residents who came out to have their
voices heard regarding our
schools,” Superintendent
Deborah Grimshaw said.
Initiatives in the plan include the
beginning of an agriculture and
agriculture business program at
the high school and the purchase
of services and the technology
necessary to launch a distance
learning program in the 2016-17
school year. The district will also
continue to support professional
development for teachers in effective instructional strategies and
technology integration.
The approved $21 million
budget carries a 1.63 percent tax
levy increase and includes funding for the continued expansion
of opportunities for students.
Voters also elected Mark Brody
to another term on the board of
education. Brody was first
appointed to the board in 2009 to
fill a vacancy and was subsequently elected to a full term in 2010.
A proposition to fund the
Canajoharie Library for $100,000
was rejected, 537 to 173.
Fonda-Fultonville
Fonda-Fultonville Central
School District voters approved
a $26 million 2015-16 budget by
comfortable margin, and elected
three school board members to
serve three-year terms.
The budget won, 263 to 123,
carrying a property tax levy
increase of 1.5 percent, according
to unofficial results. Spending is
increasing 4.27 percent, or almost
$1.07 million, and no fund balance is allocated to help balance
the budget. State aid to the district is projected to increase
around $945,000, or 6.6 percent.
“We’re really pleased that the
community supported the programs that we currently provide
and those that we are going to be
offering,” Superintendent of
Schools Raymond Colucciello
said. “It’s a vote of confidence
for the board of education that
have done a great job in being
frugal while at the same time providing a program for the students
that they need and deserve.”
The budget includes some new
programming for students, which
is a change from recent years of
budgets holding several reductions.
“It has been a while since we
have been able to say to the
community we aren’t cutting,
we’re adding back some of these
programs that the students
deserve,” Colucciello said.
Some of the initiatives slated
for next school year include a
Young Scholars program at the
elementary school, accelerated
math classes for sixth- and seventh-grade students, and an agriculture program for high school
students. Some additional items
include adding one pupil services specialist and a behavioral
specialist.
“All in all it is a great day for
Fonda-Fultonville students and
their parents,” Colucciello said.
The school board has also built
up the district’s “rainy day”
funds, he said, which allows for
more financial stability.
Voters elected Sarah
Leszczynski (256 votes), Kelley
O’Kosky (232) and Frederick
Hidde (190) to the school board,
according to unofficial results.
Joseph Vozna received 176 votes.
Fonda-Fultonville voters also
approved levying taxes totaling
$15,961 to the Frothingham Free
Library (289-88) and $10,000 to
the Fort Hunter Free Library
(258-112).
Fort Plain
Fort Plain Central School
District residents approved the
district’s 2015-16 school budget
Tuesday by a vote of 176 to 25.
The $19 million plan calls for a
year-to-year spending increase
of 1.06 percent and carries a 0
percent tax levy increase.
“I’d like to thank all of our residents who came to the polls and
voted,” said Superintendent
Douglas C. Burton. “This year’s
budget is a good example of keeping costs down in the district and
working to maintain, and even
moderately increase, program
opportunities for our students.”
Under the approved plan, the
district will add a special education teacher, a new agribusiness
teacher, and increases part-time
positions to full-time for the elementary art teacher, and for the
Family Peer Advocate position.
To maintain the tax levy at 0
percent increase, the budget will
use $950,000 from the fund balance.
Residents also elected two board
of education members and
approved a school bus proposition.
Incumbent Jami L. Stevens
received 169 votes and incumbent
Mary Beth Hudyncia received
170 for the school board.
The school bus proposition
passed 163 to 34. This will allow
the district to purchase two vehicles (one full-size bus and one
smaller vehicle) at a cost not to
exceed $160,000. The money
comes from Fort Plain’s
bus/transportation reserve fund
approved by voters in 2013 and
there is no effect on local taxes.
Galway
Voters in the Galway Central
School District approved their
budget by a count of 288-124,
according to information shared
by the school.
A proposition to purchase
buses also gained voter
approval, 293-116; and a proposal to establish a capital reserve
passed, 282-125.
Elected to four-year terms on
the board of education were
Dennis Schaperjahn with 307
votes and Linda Jackowski with
288 votes. Elected to a two-year
term was Anita Crawford with
272 votes.
Gloversville
Gloversville Enlarged School
District voters approved the
$63.3 million budget for 201516 that stays within the state’s
tax levy limit. Voters approved
the plan, 278 to 118.
The $63.3 million budget calls
for a spending increase of 2.76
percent from this year with a
local tax levy increase of 1.6
percent, or $224,582. Since the
IF YOU’RE BUYING
BEER ANYWHERE

TOO MUCH!
$
13
levy increase is within the limit
as calculated under the state’s
tax levy cap law, the budget only
required a simple majority vote
to pass.
The budget features new and
expanded initiatives to increase
academic success and improve
the graduation rate for students.
“Thank you to all district residents who came out to vote. We
appreciate that you took the time
to have your voice heard regarding our schools,” Superintendent
Michael Vanyo said.
Voters Tuesday also elected
Michael Hauser, Jennifer
Pomeroy and Robin Walrath to
full three-year terms on the
board of education. Hauser was
elected with 285 votes, Pomeroy
received 268, and Walrath 235.
Vincent Salvione was also elected to a one-year term to fill a
vacancy created by a resignation. He received 225 votes.
Johnstown
The voters of the Greater
Johnstown School District
approved the $33.3 million
budget for the 2015-16 school
year, carrying a 1.77 percent tax
levy increase. District officials
said the budget passed 350 to 95.
The budget is a $3 million
increase over the current plan, with
the majority of the hike going into
instruction, which is up $1.8 million from the previous year.
The budget features the hiring
of two new elementary teachers,
a special education teacher at
JHS, full-time media specialist
at Warren Street, two new special education teaching assistants, and a new IT coordinator.
District voters also approved a
proposal to establish a capital
bus purchase reserve fund, 334
to 107.
Voters also filled three open
three-year terms on the board of
education. Incumbent Kathryn
Zajicek received 380 votes,
Susanne Fitzgerald received 364,
and incumbent Ronald Beck
received 341 votes.
Mayfield
Mayfield Central School
District voters approved a $16.99
million budget 296 to 101.
Interim Superintendent A. Paul
Scott said the plan sustains the
same scope of instructional programs and support services
already in place. He said it
includes a tax levy increase of
2.7 percent, which equates to a
$191,456 increase above the current school year’s levy. The
budget represents a $439,112
decrease in expenditures.
Scott said this year’s plan is
less because the district has
decreased its debt and the payments on a roughly 15-year--old
capital project will come to a
close at the end of this school
year. As a result, he said the debt
load will drop from roughly $1.1
million to roughly $334,000 next
school year.
Residents approved the use of
a reserve fund to purchase two
65-passenger buses and one 41passenger bus. The voters were
also in favor of re-establishing
the bus purchase reserve fund.
One candidate, Aaron Flynn,
was also elected to the board of
education, garnering 231 votes.
Board terms are five years.
Northville
The voters of the Northville
Central School District approved
a $10.6 million budget.
According to the district website, the proposal passed by a
margin of 278 to 169 after votes
were tallied Tuesday night.
The budget carrie an increase
from last year’s expenses by
$57,652. The actual tax levy
increase of $118,650 represents
an overall 2.03 percent increase,
which was below the stateimposed tax cap of 2.05 percent.
Superintendent Leslie Ford
said the budget includes an
expansion in math and support
services.
A bus proposal passed as well,
295 to 148.
Arlene C. Rambush, who was
running unopposed, received
300 votes for a five-year term on
the board of education.
OESJ
The Oppenheim-Ephratah-St.
Johnsville Central School
District saw its budget approved
423 to 355.
The approved $18,785,271 plan
carries a 1.48 percent spending
increase from the current school
year and includes funding for the
continued expansion of opportunities for students.
Proposition No. 1, the establishment of a capital reserve
fund, was defeated 365 to 397.
Voters also elected Neil Clark
and Linda Hart to the board of
education. Clark was elected
with 390 votes and Hart received
360. The third highest vote
receiver was write-in candidate
Jeremy Brundage with 357.
These election results are unofficial due to the need to verify 16
affidavit ballots.
Chad Eggleston received 279
votes and Art Dockerty, 142.
The official election results are
expected to be released within a
few days.

The Valley Choralaires perform during Sunday’s spring concert in Canajoharie.
Appreciative Sunday crowd enjoys
the Valley Choralaires’ spring show
By JOSHUA THOMAS
For The Recorder
CANAJOHARIE — The
Valley Choralaires’ annual
spring concert, held Sunday
afternoon at the United
Methodist Church, was attended
by an appreciative group who
watched in rapt attention as the
chorus filled the church’s vast
sanctuary with layered harmonies, bringing an intimate
vibe to the expansive space.
The group, now in its 42nd
year, has been practicing for this
show weekly for two months.
Director Allison Wallace pointed
out that the group learned some
complicated arrangements in a
short period of time, proving
what anyone present Sunday
already knew, or came to quickly understand — that the talented group can make even the
most complex harmonies seem
effortless.
The afternoon set list was compiled of songs the group has
sung at various points in the
past. Some were well-known
audience favorites, while others
were performed specifically
because of the event’s proximity
to Memorial Day, though all of
the songs were Choralairesselected and approved.
Much of the set list focused on
love, memories and dreams, and
performances such as “What a
Wonderful World,” chosen by
42-year member Dorothy
Morrison, carried an appreciative tone.
Following the kickoff performance of “There Has To Be A
Song,” Wallace explained that
the piece is an inspirational
poem set to music. The purpose
of its creation, said Wallace,
summed up the group’s goal
Sunday — “to touch your mind,
your heart, and your spirit.”
Music, said Wallace communicates feelings, transcends time
and opens the roads to imagination. She explained of the group,
utilizing the concert’s title,
“That’s why we sing.”
The opening five-song set
included two songs that have
had a long life on Broadway,
including Abba’s “The Winner
Takes It All,” featuring a solo by
Cheryl Brown, and Les
Miserables’ “I Dreamed A

Dream,” made popular most
recently by Anne Hathaway,
who secured an Oscar for her
role as Fantine in the 2012 film.
That performance perfectly
summed up the unique beauty of
watching the Valley Choralaires
perform. Though you may have
heard a song a million times
before, there’s something about
the haunting purity of the
Choralaires’ full, emotional
vocal performances that bring
out new facets.
While “I Dreamed A Dream”
drips with crushing despair in its
original form, Sunday’s performance carried a nostalgic, hopeful
tone.
Following intermission, during
which Andrea Montanye led a
group sing-along of “Que-Sera,
Sera” on accordion, the Valley
Choralaires donned red, white and
blue flowered leis and invited
three Boy Scouts from
Canajoharie Troop 81 to hold
flags at the head of the sanctuary
while they performed, “Fly High,
You Grand Old Flag,” after which
the crowd stood for a performance of “God Bless America.”
Sunday’s show provided beautiful music on a glorious day —
the Valley Choralaires once
again, as they’ve done for 42
years — supplying the perfect
sonic atmosphere to say goodbye to spring and hello to summer.
JOHNSTOWN — Approximately 14 miles of county roadway
will be resurfaced with blacktop
later this year after the Fulton
County Board of Supervisors
unanimously approved a resolution to expand the 2015 capital
paving project.
The county previously approved
a number of paving projects for
roadways through the 2015 capital plan, which totaled $1.5 million.
However, after receiving extra
money from the state and finding
other savings, the county will now
also pave 1.75 miles of Route 146
in the town of Johnstown.
The county had approved 12
miles of paving with the plans to
improve
routes
153
in
Johnstown, 126 in BroadalbinPerth, 112 in Caroga/Bleecker,
142 in Johnstown, and 106 in
Mayfield/ Perth.
Superintendent of Highways
and Facilities Mark Yost said the
state Department of Transportation this year provided $50 million that was split among munic-
ipalities across the state for road
repairs related to extreme weather recovery. He said Fulton
County’s share of that funding
was $106,500 but he will supplement that with savings created
through the blacktop bidding
process.
According to the resolution, the
cost to pave Route 146 will be
$286,499.
He said he approached the
board about the possibility of
using the extra money to bring
the additional paving project forward that was planned to take
place in 2016. The resolution
unanimously approved by the
supervisors amends the county’s
previously adopted 2015 highway capital plan.
“With the extra money in winter recovery and the money we
saved in the bidding process we
are going to be able to advance
that 2016 paving project into this
year,” Yost said. “The last two
winters have been pretty bad
because the frost went excessively deep.”
Yost said paving will begin in
June and the work on Route 146
will start after that.

IN OTHER WORDS ...
Developing a
plan for teacher
evaluations
Nearly all businesses and organizations go
through some variation of the annual employee performance review, and tie the results to
things like paychecks. For the record, however, there is no consensus in the management
world about the best way to conduct this yearly exercise. There is continual dialogue over
the most useful evaluation tools and measurements, as well as the ability of individual
supervisors to effectively use them. Everyone
grumbles, at least a little.
So, as the state Department of Education
gets ready to introduce its draft version of a
high quality evaluation system for teachers —
in a politically fueled, emotionally charged
environment — there is little doubt the plan
will not be well received by all. And that’s
probably putting it mildly.
So the question is, what should happen next?
The answer is simple. Before ending its session in June, the state Legislature should do
what is best for students and their families:
Change the implementation date for new
teacher evaluations from September 2015 to
September 2016.
As Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said, we should
have had a good system in place long ago.
After years of discussion, we should not have
reached a point where the Board of Regents,
school districts, educator unions and teachers
have so little time to react to or prepare for a
new system. It’s disheartening that so little
true progress has occurred. But here we are,
and every one mentioned in the sentences
above shoulders a portion of the blame. Kids
do not.
What students deserve is a calm and constructive process whereby the adults in charge
follow many of the same rules they do. They
aren’t allowed to use name-calling or nasty
rhetoric when they don’t like something a
classmate does. They are expected to do their
homework, be open to unfamiliar or contradictory ideas, and present well-researched opinions. They have to listen to one another speak,
and are very respectful of all others.
Regardless of socioeconomic status, their family’s political beliefs, or what their personal
interests are — they have to play nice together
and learn to compromise.
Some districts around the country have
already developed and are using stronger
teacher evaluation plans. These could serve, at
least in part, as models for New York.
When changing the implementation date,
state lawmakers should incorporate milestones
to ensure progress toward the September 2016
deadline. This process should not drag on any
longer without all parties working in unison,
rather than silos, for a thoughtful solution. The
practical implications of a new system, like

The Recorder, Amsterdam, N.Y.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Shooting holes into empty words
To the editor:
There are things I notice about Mike Villa’s letter on
May 15.
• It’s full of misinformation or lies;
• His statements are hollow, political nonsense;
• He has no plan.
Perhaps Villa should reread Mayor Thane’s letter. She
listed her successes in detail. The record is factual, not
empty rhetoric. Villa conveniently ignores seven years of
documented success in planning, projects and partnerships. Thane has improved our infrastructure, downtown,
parks, waterfront and neighborhoods. The city is cleaner
and so is our water. She’s been asking to clean up the
city’s finances for years and that’s finally being done.
Mr. Villa wants to give the impression that crime is terrible when, in the same paper that his letter ran, there is proof
of the opposite. Amsterdam is one of the safest communities in the region. Under the Thane administration, residents
are partnering with APD to stop crime and the city offers
activities to youth to keep our kids healthy and safe.
The mayor’s taken down over 100 properties and is
working with surrounding communities and the state to get
rid of blight in innovative, new ways. She is recognized
across the state as a leader in this cause. I’m surprised Villa
doesn’t know that the mayor pushed for landbanking since
taking office, but the state didn’t have the program when
she took office. Thanks to her effort, Amsterdam was designated as one of the first five landbanks in the state. You’d
think Villa’d do his homework about this stuff.
The whole “taxes are going up” is silly too. Costs are
going up everywhere by percentages in the double digits
but there hasn’t been a budget that has exceeded the tax
cap since Thane took office. Her administration has
negotiated agreements that bring in hundreds of thousands of new dollars every year and millions of dollars
in grants. Taxes are largely stable because of her work.
The glaring shortcomings in Villa’s letter are:
• He only points out problems without offering solutions;
• He talks about being a leader, but what has he done
for this community, even as a volunteer? (Attending
fundraising events while campaigning does not count);
• He talks about lowering taxes but doesn’t tell us how
he’d do that;
• He expends so much hot, dry air it’s like a hurricane
in a desert.
Voters are smarter than Villa. We see who he is in his
empty words. We’re smart enough to read the Mayor’s
twenty-three detailed points. Those successes really blow
us away.
JOSHUA SPAGNOLA,
Amsterdam
Addressing the crisis head-on
To the editor:
This week is National Prevention Week, a time for communities to come together to increase awareness about
substance abuse and mental health issues. May 20 is dedicated to Prevention of Opioid & Prescription Drug Abuse.
We are all aware that the use of heroin and opiates has
risen to epidemic levels, and is devastating lives and
families throughout the entire state and nation.
As co-chair of the Senate’s Task Force on Heroin and
Opioid Addiction, I am committed to doing everything
possible to address this crisis head-on. We need to make
sure that treatment and recovery options are available to
those who need them, and we need to make sure that
proper support systems are in place to help reduce the
risk of relapse.
Of course, prevention and awareness efforts are also
key to eradicating this epidemic once and for all. The
theme of National Prevention Week this year is “The
Voice of One, the Power of All,” highlighting the need
for all of us to come together — both individually and as
a community — to offer our support to those dealing
with this addiction, and to break the stigma that goes
along with it. When people need help, they should not be
ashamed to seek it.
One of the most important responsibilities of any elect-
ed official is to care for the most vulnerable members of
our communities, including those struggling with substance abuse and addiction. It’s a responsibility I take
very seriously, but no one person will end this epidemic.
We all need to work together, and the first step is to
bring more awareness.
There have been too many lives destroyed and loved
ones lost to heroin and opiate abuse. Everyone knows
someone — a friend, family member, co-worker, or
neighbor — that has been affected by this deadly addiction. This week, during National Prevention Week, let’s
all make an extra effort to increase awareness. We can all
be a voice for those who can’t be a voice for themselves.
SEN. GEORGE AMEDORE,
46th Senate District

Thankful for the help
To the editor:
My family and I (Kathie Ryan) would like to thank
everyone who assisted in the rescue of me in my horse
accident. I know the first responders offer the initial critical care to stabilize a life threatening situation. We
would like to thank the Ames and Canajoharie volunteer
fire departments, the sheriff’s department, GAVAC and
Life Net for their quick response. I am back home recovering thanks to them and the superb team of trauma doctors at Albany Medical Center.
We are also grateful for all of the friends, family and
neighbors who helped us out during this difficult time.
Work on a dairy farm does not stop because of an accident. Everything from the meals and groceries delivered
to assisting with my care are all greatly appreciated. We
thank everyone for their kindness and concerns.

Dozens of Sawyer Fredericks supporters gather outside Parillo’s Armory Grill Tuesday.

a return to the simpler life he
stepped away from while performing on the show. He said
he’s looking forward to returning to the family farm and stepping out of the spotlight, as
much as he can, for a little bit.
During a press conference that
aired on NBC after the finale,
Fredericks was asked if he is
likely to move to Los Angeles to
begin recording his album. He
quickly replied he has no such
interest.
“I do not want to move to
L.A.,” he said.
“Voice” host Carson Daly
quickly jumped in, putting his
hand on Fredericks’ shoulder,
and jokingly said, “He’s going
to go back to the farm and
reassess where he’s at. He’s
going to move near like The
Grove, because it’s like a farm.”
Fredericks said he could record
his album in New York City,
which is a little closer to home,
where he plans to write new
songs.
During Tuesday’s finale,
Fredericks performed a melody
of songs with music legend John
Fogerty.
“I felt so blessed to perform
with him,” Fredericks said.
“’Have You Ever Seen the Rain’
was the second song I ever
learned.”
During the press conference
Daly reflected on some of the
memorable experiences
Fredericks went through on
“The Voice.” He chalked up the
appearance with Fogerty and
Monday’s performance of
LaMontagne’s “Please” as highlights this season.
“Between the Ray moment last
night and John tonight, two of
the greatest moments we have
ever had on the show,” Daly
said. “Those are the moments
that we try and make on this
show. And it doesn’t matter who
wins and who loses, but when
you watch moments like Sawyer
with John Fogerty tonight …
those are winning moments.”
Fredericks said his dad would
often play LaMontagne’s music
as they worked on the family’s
farm in Glen, where he is homeschooled.
Fredericks recently returned to
Montgomery County for a
homecoming performance at the
Fonda Fairgrounds that was televised on the show. Fultonville
Mayor Robert Headwell presented Fredericks with a giant, golden key to the village.
Montgomery County Executive
Matthew Ossenfort declared
May 6 as Sawyer Fredericks
Day and gave him a large, metal
sign that said “Welcome Home
Sawyer.” Fredericks also
received a lifetime pass to the
Fonda Fair.
Prior to his participation on the
show, Fredericks had only performed at community events,
coffee shops and farmers markets.
When Pharrell Williams was
asked during the press conference what advice he has for
Sawyer regarding how to handle
fame, he simply said, “Don’t
read the comments.”
Fredericks captured the attention of the show’s panel of
celebrity musicians from the
moment he began singing during
blind auditions in February. All
four judges sought Fredericks
for their team of contestants.
Fredericks chose Williams, who
then mentored him throughout
the season.
He was additionally coached
by guests Gwen Stefani, Reba
McEntyre and Ryan Tedder.
Fredericks said working with
Williams was “amazing” and he
couldn’t have asked for a better
coach.
“I feel like he has really helped
me through all this and really
wanted me to be true to myself,”
Fredericks said. “I think that
was the biggest thing that he
wanted me to be, stay true to
myself and enjoy the music.”
Heather Nellis contributed to
this report.

Sorrow’ and we saw those judges swing their
chairs around after the first note we knew we had
to do something to generate support,” she said. “It
was just a handful of us to start the second week
but then it grew into what you see here tonight. I’d
guess we easily contribute thousands of votes from
Parillo’s each and every week.”
Parillo said large groups have been gathering at
her restaurant every Tuesday night to watch.
“We started this whole thing a couple months ago
with really no idea how far he would go on the
show,” Parillo said. “Every week it has been getting
bigger and better and at this point I don’t think anyone doubts Sawyer is going to be named the winner.”
From her lips to America’s ears.
The 16-year-old town of Glen singer-songwriter
has been doing far more than just entertaining the
residents of Montgomery County. Event organizers
said he has single-handedly brought the surrounding communities together.
“He has an amazing voice and no matter what I
think, he is already a winner,” Schultz said. “The
best thing is how this kid has brought the entire
community together. He has given hope to not
only Fulton and Montgomery County but also the
entire capital region.”
Parillo said the restaurant recently developed a
Sawyer-inspired menu and was serving his favorite
desert, salted caramel ice cream, for guests to
enjoy during the grand celebration Tuesday night.
Sawyer’s signature bowler cap could be seen on

fans of all ages, along with custom necklaces that
featured a headshot of the long-haired singing sensation.
“The excitement has been electrifying every
week,” Santoro said.
The weekly gatherings at Parillo’s have also been
regularly attended by Sawyer’s self-proclaimed
oldest fan, Ann Wavres of Amsterdam.
The 87-year-old said she has been at the viewing
party each week and she was amazed when she
heard his rendition of the song “Shine On.”
“I love his voice,” she said. “He really has a
mind of his own and I think he’s been reincarnated
from an old soul like mine. He is not going to lose
because he is just that good,” she predicted before
the results were known.
Younger Sawyer fanatics such as Amsterdam’s
Patrick Kelly said he and his siblings have regularly been watching the show with the hopes the
farmboy from Glen would win.
Kelly said he is even considering growing his
hair and sporting a similar hat as Fredericks.
Guests on Tuesday were able to play Sawyer
trivia for the opportunity to win CD’s released by
the young musician and his coach on the show,
Pharrell Williams. Children in attendance also had
the opportunity to have Fredericks-inspired art
painted on their hands and faces. However, the
main event everyone was waiting for was the
announcement of the winner.
Their wait would be worth it.

Red Nose Day television special is comedy for a good cause
By FRAZIER MOORE
The Associated Press
The Associated Press
British director Richard Curtis is bringing Red Nose Day to the
United States with a star-studded three-hour TV event Thursday.
NEW YORK — Thirty years ago, Richard Curtis
suspected two things: People like to laugh and
they like to do good.
Red Nose Day has annually proved him right in
the United Kingdom, where more than $1 billion
has been raised to fight childhood poverty.
Now Curtis is bringing Red Nose Day to the
United States with a star-studded three-hour TV
event airing Thursday at 8 p.m. EDT on NBC. He
promises it will be funny and entertaining while
giving viewers the opportunity to pitch in to help
kids in the U.S. and around the globe.
When he’s not organizing Red Nose Day in the
U.K. or prepping its American invasion, Curtis is a
celebrated writer-director. His films include “Four
Weddings and a Funeral,” “Notting Hill” and
“Bridget Jones’s Diary.”
“I have two careers, at the same time,” he says
during a chat Monday morning at Manhattan’s
Hammerstein Ballroom, where the live portion of
Thursday’s telecast will originate.
This show will be “very, very, very different”
from the typical fundraising telethon, he says.
Roughly one-half will be pre-recorded sketches
and other comedy pieces, allowing for slick production techniques and involvement by a wider
range of stars than would be possible on show
night.
Curtis mentions one intriguing spoof: a mockumentary of the rock group Coldplay as it creates a
musical version of “Game of Thrones,” with original songs by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin performed by the group and participation by a dozen
“Game of Thrones” cast members.
Other pre-recorded bits include such names as
Julia Roberts, Liam Neeson, Richard Gere and
Jodie Foster.
There will also be live comedy and music in
Please see NOSE, Page 11
The Recorder, Amsterdam, N.Y.
Nose
from page 10
front of an audience at the
Hammerstein.
Those scheduled to appear in
one fashion or another include
Reese Witherspoon, Benedict
Cumberbatch, Emily Blunt,
Martin Short, Ian McKellen,
Paul Rudd, Neil Patrick Harris,
Hugh Bonneville, Will Ferrell,
Elizabeth Banks, Jack Black,
Helen Mirren, Nick Offerman,
Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, John
Legend, Keith Urban, John
Mellencamp, One Direction and
“Voice” coaches Adam Levine,
Blake Shelton, Christina
Aguilera and Pharrell Williams.
The hope, of course, is that
Red Nose Day will become an
annual event for NBC and for
U.S. viewers, just as it has long
been a tradition for the BBC and
Brits.
NBC’s embrace of Red Nose
Day is largely explained by the
presence of Paul Telegdy,
NBC’s president of alternative
and late night programming.
Telegdy, who previously worked
at the BBC, was well aware of
the reach and impact of Red
Nose Day.
In his current position, he
believed NBCUniversal was a
natural home for producing and
promoting Red Nose Day on
U.S. shores.
“We thought, wouldn’t it be
great if we could harness our
workforce and its relationships
with advertising clients and talent,” he said recently — “and
not in a way that responds to
any specific cry for help, but for
raising children out of poverty.
And do it on an annual basis.”
The money raised this first
year will go to the Red Nose
Day Fund for distribution to
charity partners including the
Boys & Girls Clubs of America,
the National Urban League,
Save the Children and United
Way, as well as other agencies
such as charity: water (a nonprofit organization dedicated to
bringing clean and safe drinking
water to people in developing
nations) and OxFam America (a
global organization that fights
poverty and hunger).
Supplementing Thursday’s
broadcast are several ancillary
fundraising efforts. Five million
Red Noses have been purchased
by customers of participating
retailers. “Today Show” host
Matt Lauer set off on a 230-mile
bike ride from Boston to New
York to spur donations.
And entertainer Nick Cannon
(host of “America’s Got Talent”)
will attempt to dance nonstop
for 24 hours as a warm up to
Thursday’s broadcast. His day
of dance at Manhattan’s NBC
Experience Store will stream
live on NBC.com starting
Wednesday at 8 p.m. EDT.
“I don’t think I’ve ever done
anything for 24 hours straight
except breathe,” said Cannon,
who will get just a five-minute
break every couple of hours and
plans to power his endurance
contest with the help of Skittles.
Back at the Hammerstein,
Curtis, who describes himself as
“quite a cheerful human,” radiates optimism as he tackles
countless details of the broadcast only days away.
“The challenge,” he says, “is
to get people to watch. I think if
people watch the show, they’ll
enjoy it — and they’ll give
some money.”

Unions: Put 2nd crew member in locomotives
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The union for
Amtrak’s locomotive engineers urged the
railroad on Tuesday to put a second crew
member at the controls of trains on the busy
Northeast Corridor, where a derailment killed
eight people and injured more than 200 others.
“The public would never accept an airline
operation with a single person in the cockpit,”
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and Trainmen said in a statement. “There is
no reason that rail employees and rail passengers’ lives should be viewed any differently.”
Brandon Bostian, 32, was alone in the locomotive of Train 188 when it derailed May 12,
about 10 minutes after departing Philadelphia
for New York.
Train 188 had a five-member crew —
including a conductor who is still hospitalized
with serious injuries — but they were in the
passenger coaches, closed off from the locomotive.
Amtrak hasn’t had a second crew member in
the locomotive of its Northeast Corridor
trains since Congress ended the requirement
in the early 1980s, the union said.
In a statement, Amtrak said it operates its
locomotives in accordance with federal standards and that its locomotive engineers and
train conductors work together to ensure safe
train operation.
“Amtrak is and always has been committed
to safety as its number one priority and continues to work with all the stakeholders
toward a consensus on the appropriate management of crew resources in passenger train
locomotives,” the statement said.
The National Transportation Safety Board is
looking into why the train was going more
than double the 50 mph limit around a sharp
curve. It is also investigating whether an
object may have struck the locomotive’s
windshield before the crash.
The FBI said it found no evidence a
grapefruit-sized fracture on the windshield
was caused by a firearm, and the NTSB
said it was unsure anything had struck the
vehicle.
Investigators said Bostian, who was among
the injured, told them in an interview that he
couldn’t recall anything from the last 3 miles
before the derailment.
About 20 people remained hospitalized
Tuesday. Five were listed in critical condition.
The Associated Press
Mourners comfort one another during the funeral Monday in New York for Laura
Finamore, who was killed in the May 12 Amtrak train derailment in Philadelphia.
Finamore, 47, was returning to New York City from a memorial service for a college
friend's mother when the crash occurred.
Authorities say it could be a year before
they determine the probable cause of the
derailment.
The union Tuesday called on Congress to
require a second “fully trained and qualified”
crew member in each locomotive, but stopped
short of demanding that person also be an
engineer.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., suggested
Tuesday that Amtrak at least place a second
crew member in the locomotive until automatic speed control technology is fully implemented.
A former NTSB chief railroad crash investigator questioned the idea, saying putting multiple crew members in a locomotive was
“more of a distraction” than a safeguard and
most likely would not have prevented the
May 12 derailment.
The former investigator, Ed Dobranetski,
pointed to a 1996 collision outside
Washington, D.C., in which a commuter train
engineer was thought to have been distracted
by a conversation with a crew member riding
along in the cab compartment, causing a crash
with an Amtrak train that killed 11 people.
Amtrak occasionally employs a second
engineer on long-haul routes, according to
Dobranetski.
On some railroads a conductor or brakeman
will sit to the left of the engineer. With only
one set of controls to operate the train, their
role is limited to calling out signals and hitting the emergency brake if trouble arises, he
said.
“I’ve done accident investigations where
either the conductor is asleep, inattentive or
intimidated by the engineer, but 99 percent of
the time the conductor only reminds the engineer of the speed or a situation. He’s rarely
prevented something,” Dobranetski said.
The engineers’ union on Tuesday also
blamed lawmakers for deep funding cuts it
said translated into fewer Amtrak crew members and greater lag time in the implementation of technology that slows speeding trains.
The
House
Transportation
and
Infrastructure Committee will hold a hearing
on the derailment after Memorial Day. A
spokesman said it was not clear if the twoperson crew proposal would be discussed.
The hospitalized conductor, Emilio
Fonseca, has sued Amtrak, claiming the railroad was negligent and careless. His lawyer
said Tuesday he suffered a broken neck, broken back and other serious injuries.
Senate to vote on bill to
end NSA bulk collection
The Associated Press
Democratic mayoral candidate and former City Councilman Jim
Kenney, center, celebrates onstage after winning the primary
election Tuesday in Philadelphia.
Jim Kenney wins crucial Democratic
primary for Philadelphia mayor
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A veteran Philadelphia councilman
who is likely to become the city’s next mayor credited a coalition of union members, immigrants, public school parents and
others for his easy victory in a crowded Democratic primary.
Jim Kenney captured the nomination Tuesday despite a procharter school group spending nearly $7 million in support of
challenger Anthony Hardy Williams, a state senator.
“People of every neighborhood came behind this effort,”
Kenney said, citing teachers, public school parents, the LGBT
community and others who supported him. “We need this
coalition to grow even larger to fix the challenges facing our
great city.”
The victory all but assures he will be the next mayor in
Philadelphia, where Democrats outnumber Republicans nearly
7-1. With unofficial returns almost complete, Kenney was
beating Williams by a more than 2-1 margin.
Kenney served on City Council for 23 years before resigning
in a bid to replace term-limited Mayor Michael Nutter. The 57year-old will face Republican Melissa Murray Bailey in
November.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Senate will vote on legislation
that ends the National Security
Agency’s bulk collection of millions of Americans’ phone
records as Congress scrambles to
renew the Patriot Act before it
expires on June 1.
Majority
Leader
Mitch
McConnell has opposed the
House bill to reauthorize the
post-Sept. 11 law while significantly changing the NSA’s bulk
collection, preferring to simply
renew the Patriot Act. But he
told reporters Tuesday that he
will allow a vote on the measure
that passed the House overwhelmingly last week and has
the backing of the Obama
administration.
“Regardless of what the
House’s position may be, we
have an obligation to deal with
the Patriot Act,” the Kentucky
Republican said. “And we’re
going to deal with it this week.
And it’s my view that letting it
expire is not a responsible thing
to do.”
Congress must deal with the
law’s fate before lawmakers
leave town for the weeklong
Memorial Day recess. The issue
has divided Republicans and
Democrats, cutting across party
lines and pitting civil libertarians
concerned about privacy against
more hawkish lawmakers fearful
about losing tools to combat terrorism.
Former NSA contractor Edward
Snowden’s revelations about the
NSA program spurred some
Republicans and Democrats to
demand an end to the bulk collection.
Last week, the House backed
the USA Freedom Act, which
would replace bulk collection
with a system to search the data
held by telephone companies on
a case-by-case basis. The vote
was 338-88, and House
Republican and Democratic
leaders have insisted on their
bill.
“The House had an overwhelmingly large vote for the USA
Freedom Act. It’s time for the
Senate to act,” Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio, told reporters
on Tuesday.
The law expires in less than two
weeks. If Congress fails to act,
several key provisions would
expire, including the bulk collection; a provision allowing socalled roving wiretaps, which the
FBI uses for criminals who frequently switch cellphones, and a
third that makes it easier to
obtain a warrant to target a “lone
wolf” terror suspect who has no
provable links to a terrorist
organization.

GRRRRRREAT
The Associated Press
Rescued migrants rest as they are given food and drink upon arrival in Simpang Tiga, Aceh
province, Indonesia, today.
Malaysia and Indonesia to offer
temporary shelter to migrants
PUTRAJAYA, Malaysia (AP)
— In a major diplomatic breakthrough that could ease Southeast
Asia’s migrant crisis, Indonesia
and Malaysia offered Wednesday
to temporarily take in thousands
of people who have been stranded at sea but appealed for international help, saying the crisis is a
global, not regional, problem.
The reversal in their positions,
after weeks of saying the
migrants were not welcome,
came as more than 430 weak,
hungry people were rescued —
not by navies patrolling the
waters but by a flotilla of
Indonesian fishermen who
brought them ashore in the eastern province of Aceh.
One of the fishermen who led
the rescue effort said that when
he spotted the migrants’ green
wooden trawler and saw the people on board screaming for help,
he began to weep.
“As we came close, I was
shocked. I saw them crammed
onto the boat. It left me speechless and I broke down in tears as
I watched them screaming, waving their hands and clothes,” said
40-year-old Razali Puteh. People
from the boat began jumping into
the water trying to reach him, but
the fisherman told them to stay
put and then returned with other
fishing boats.
“I could not let them die,
because they are also human
beings. Just like me,” Puteh said.
“I am grateful to have saved hundreds of lives.”
In the past three weeks, more
than 3,000 migrants who fled
persecution in Myanmar and
poverty in Bangladesh have landed in overcrowded boats on the
shores of Southeast Asian countries better known for their whitesand beaches. Aid groups estimate that thousands more are
stranded at sea following a crackdown on human traffickers that
prompted captains and smugglers
to abandon their boats.
The mounting crisis prompted
Malaysia to call an emergency
meeting with the foreign ministers of Indonesia and Thailand on
Wednesday. Malaysia is the current chair of the 10-nation grouping of Southeast Asian countries
known as ASEAN.
“This is not an ASEAN problem,”
Malaysian
Foreign
Minister Anifah Aman said after
the meeting. “This is a problem
for the international community.
We are talking about a humanitarian crisis.”
Part of the crisis stemmed from
the stance of ASEAN nations,
which until now was to push
boats away and not allow
migrants to reach their shores,
fearing that allowing a few to
come in would lead to an unstoppable flow.
Thailand had previously said it
cannot afford to take any more
migrants since it is already overburdened by tens of thousands of
refugees from Myanmar, but
agreed at the meeting to provide
humanitarian assistance, Anifah

said.
Malaysia and Indonesia “agreed
to offer temporary shelter provided that the settlement and repatriation process will be done in one
year by the international community,” according to a joint statement.
Asked about the statement’s
conditional wording, Anifah said
the two countries would not wait
for international support but
would start giving migrants shelter “immediately.”
“It has to be immediate because
we can’t leave those people out at
sea,” Anifah said at a news conference in Putrajaya, Malaysia.
The U.N. refugee agency
believes there are some 4,000 still
at sea, although some activists
initially put the number at 6,000.
Aid
agencies
praised
Wednesday’s breakthrough but
time is running out for the boats
still at sea, said Joe Lowry, a
regional spokesman for the
International Organization for
Migration.
“It’s extremely good news coming out of Malaysia,” he said.
“The problem is that, so far there
is no agreement on search and
rescue and these boats have got
to be found. There’s a huge body
of water and only a small number
of boats, and the more time that
goes on ... the more desperate
their conditions are going to
become.”
The migrants brought ashore
Wednesday in Indonesia were
rescued by more than a dozen
fishing boats, said Herman
Sulaiman from East Aceh district’s Search and Rescue
Agency. It was unclear if all the
migrants had been on one vessel
or had come from several.
An initial batch of 102 people
was the first brought to shore in
the Aceh village of Simpang
Tiga.
“They were suffering from
dehydration, they are weak and
starving,” said Khairul Nove,
head of the Langsa Search and
Rescue Agency in Aceh province.
Among the 102 were 26 women
and 31 children, he said.
One of the migrants, Ubaydul
Haque, 30, said the ship’s engine
had failed and the captain fled,
and that they were at sea for four
months before the Indonesian
fishermen found them.
“We ran out of food, we wanted
to enter Malaysia but we were
not allowed,” he said.

SCARE
Police personnel responded to a 911 call prompted when someone saw an SUV with a large stuffed tiger on its roof, in Camas,
Wash., Monday. Connor Zuvich says he was by Lacamas Lake in
Camas Monday with some friends when a truck came by and
dumped some trash and the giant tiger. Zuvich tied it to the top of
his vehicle, then he and his friends started cruising around the
lake in the enhanced SUV. Officer Henry Scott was sent to investigate the tiger 911 call, described by Camas police as an “animal
problem.” The 19-year-old Zuvich says he and the officer traded
jokes and photos, then parted ways. Other drivers also got the
joke, honking and giving him a thumbs-up sign. As Zuvich says,
“The thing looked really realistic.”
THE NEWS IN BRIEF
Egg prices jump on
impact of bird flu
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) —
Egg prices have surged higher as the death of millions of
hens from bird flu is beginning to tighten supplies.
The Midwest price of a
dozen large eggs rose to
$1.88. That’s 58 percent
higher than they were a
month ago when the bird flu
first hit Iowa chicken farms.
Prices have been climbing
at a rate of about 5 percent a
day for the past week as supplies become tighter.
Rick Brown, an egg industry
analyst with commodity market firm Urner Barry, says it’s
because 10 percent of chickens that lay eggs for food are
dead or dying from bird flu.
Eggs used principally as an
ingredient in ice cream, mayonnaise and other products
are up even more, about 162
percent to $1.65 a dozen
since April 22.
Cops: Teacher let
students have sex
STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga.
(AP) — An Atlanta-area
teacher has been arrested
after a parent complained he
allowed middle school students to have sex in a storage unit in his classroom.
Multiple news outlets report
25-year-old Quentin Wright, a
math teacher at The
Champion School in Stone
Mountain, was taken into custody Tuesday. He has been
charged with four misdemeanor counts of contributing
to the delinquency of a minor.
An arrest warrant says
Wright arranged times with
students when the classroom
would be empty and gave
them condoms.
The investigation began
after a mother said she found
text messages between
Wright and her son.
A DeKalb County Schools
spokesman says they are
cooperating with the District
Attorney’s Office and Wright
has been removed from the
classroom.
It is unclear if he has a
lawyer.
Wife of biker says
some are innocent
WACO, Texas (AP) —
Bullets ricocheted around the
parking lot of Twin Peaks, the
Waco restaurant where a
motorcycle gang shootout left
nine dead, minutes after
Theron Rhoten pulled in on
his vintage Harley chopper
for a regional motorcycle club
meeting, according to
Rhoten’s wife.
Katie Rhoten told The
Associated Press that her
husband, a mechanic from
Austin, called her from jail
and said that he and two
other members of a motorcycle club called Vise Grip
ducked and ran for cover
amid the violence that also
left 18 injured.
The three were arrested
along with about 170 others
at the scene and are each
being held on $1 million
bonds.
Officers took into custody all
sorts of “nonviolent, noncriminal people,” Katie Rhoten
said.

History of abuse must be shared
DEAR ABBY: My
daughter, “Meg,” was
sexually abused at the
age of 3 by her father 25
years ago. “Emile” and
I were divorced, but he
had every other weekend visitation. After
returning from one
visit, she said, “Daddy
By
put his finger in there.
It hurt. I cried.” Her
ABIGAIL
words forever changed
VAN BUREN
my life.
After we made countless trips to the children's hospital and
numerous therapists, a judge allowed
supervised visitation. It happened again,
but Emile told the judge he was “putting
medicine on her.” He remarried shortly
after and lost interest in Meg and her
brother, “Ian,” which was a blessing to
me, but he'd visit with them occasionally.
Emile spent years belittling me and
telling lies to the kids about me, but I
stayed busy with two jobs and raised
them by myself. Meg has no relationship
with her father, but her brother does.
Ian is now expecting a child and knows
nothing about the abuse his sister suffered. I have tried raising the subject with
Meg, but she won't discuss it. I'm afraid if
I tell Ian, it will cause a breach in our
relationship and I'm not sure he would
believe me. But how do I NOT tell him?
Please advise me. – WORRIED SICK IN
LOUISIANA
DEAR WORRIED SICK: Sit your son
and his spouse down and tell them EVERYTHING. They need to know what Grandpato-be is capable of. Because it has been kept
a secret for so long, it's sure to be a shock,
so don't be surprised if they react with disbelief. If they want proof, show them any court
records or other documents you may have.
Whatever happens after that, your conscience should be clear, because you will
DEAR ABBY
have done your duty as a mother, and they
will have been given fair warning.
DEAR ABBY: Six months ago I ran
across an ad from a woman in prison who
was looking for a pen pal. Having served
time in the past, I know how it feels to be
locked up and wanting contact with the
outside world, be it friends, family, etc. I
wrote her and she wrote back, and we
exchanged pictures.
I am twice her age. I tried to get permission to visit her but was denied because I
had served prior jail time. Our communication has been emails, letters and phone
calls. I buy her things, and she is appreciative of everything I have done for her.
She says she wants to be with me when
she gets out, which is not far off, and I'd
love for it to happen, but I don't know
how my daughters will react because she's
their age. Right now it's friendship, but I
know it could quickly evolve into love. I
have prayed about it. All the signs keep
saying we are good for each other. Abby,
what to do? – A GENERATION OLDER
DEAR G.O.: If you can, find out from the
warden what the woman is incarcerated for.
(Could it have been for conning people?
Armed robbery?) Close your wallet and see
how your “pen” pal reacts, because you may
not be her only benefactor.
After she has been released, there's no
guarantee your relationship will evolve into
love. In fact, she could have a change of
heart about committing to someone who's
old enough to be her father. Please stop and
look both ways before proceeding further.
Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van
Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and
was founded by her mother, Pauline
Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at

HOROSCOPE
BY FRANCIS DRAKE
King Features Syndicate
For Thursday, May 21, 2015
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
Your home routine will be interrupted today. Unfortunately, domestic
arguments are likely because you are
passionate about issues and won't
compromise.
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
This is a mildly accident-prone day,
so be careful. Pay attention to everything you say and do. Guard against
being so obsessed, as you are blinded to the truth.
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
Today you might find money, or you
might lose money. Your possessions
might get lost or stolen. Don't be
obsessed with shopping. (Yikes.)
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
Today will be disrupted because you
are obsessed about something
unusual or unconventional. Be patient
with others, even if you feel annoyed.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
Something behind the scenes will
catch you off guard today. Knowing
this ahead of time, you can be prepared and perhaps allow extra time
so that you have wiggle room to deal
with whatever happens.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
A female acquaintance will surprise
you today. Members of a group might
be super intent on their objective,
whether you agree or not. This could
be a problem.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Relations with people in authority
are a bit dicey today, so be careful.
Think before you speak. Even though
you feel passionately about something, you don't want to end up with
egg on your face.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Travel plans will be interrupted,
canceled or delayed. Similarly, school
schedules will be changed. Avoid
controversial subjects, like politics
and religion, definitely.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Something with shared property,
taxes, debt and inheritances suddenly will change today. People might
argue because they're vehement
about wanting their own way. Try to
steer clear of this if you can.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Relations with partners and close
friends might be upsetting today. People
are demanding and possibly unreasonable. Just cope as best you can.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Your work routine will be interrupted
today due to computer crashes, staff
shortages, canceled meetings and
changed plans. Don't act if you feel
unsure about something.
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
Parents should be extra vigilant
about their kids today, because this is
an accident-prone day. You will need
to be patient with others, especially
romantic partners, because people
are obsessed and inflexible about
what they want.
YOU BORN TODAY When faced
with a challenge, you jump in
because you will fight for a cause.
You are courageous and enthusiastic. Somehow, the support you need
always materializes. There is something important for you to learn this
year. The first half of this year will
seem slow, but soon, your efforts of
the past six years will start to show
results. Get out into nature this year.
Birthdate of: Sarah Ramos,
actress; James Phelan, author;
Jamaal Magloire, basketball player.

The Recorder, Amsterdam, N.Y.
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) —
Resilience is one of the keys to
any team’s success, especially in
the NHL playoffs.
The Tampa Bay Lightning
showed it in Game 2 of the
Eastern Conference finals, and
now it’s the New York Rangers’
turn to respond yet again.
“As a coach, you’ve got to
make adjustments in some areas,
and you’ve got to push buttons.
For these guys to keep such a
high intensity rate for the whole
playoffs, and that goes for every
team, it’s a hard thing to do,”
Lightning coach Jon Cooper said
Tuesday after arriving home
from the team’s 6-2 victory that
evened the series at 1-1.
Tyler Johnson’s hat trick and
another impressive performance
by goaltender Ben Bishop bolster
confidence heading into the next
two games, Wednesday and
Friday, at Amalie Arena.
“It’s nothing magical I’m
doing,” Cooper added. “Usually
in these situations, our goalie’s
bailing us out and our best players become our best players.
That’s the secret.
“Those guys bind together and
will us to victory. When we’ve
had a hiccup, that’s probably
been the reason why we’ve
stopped whatever losing streak
we’ve had.”
The Rangers dropped Game 2
after winning the series opener 21, but there’s no reason to believe
they’ll panic.
In addition to compiling the
league’s best road record this season, they have goalie Henrik
Lundqvist and a penchant for
thriving under postseason pressure.
New York has split the first
two games in eight of its past
12 playoff series. The Rangers
are 6-1 in those series during
that span.
In the Eastern Conference semifinals, New York rallied from a 31 deficit to eliminate the
Washington Capitals.
“We’ve got another challenge
in front of us, both defensively
and offensively. We’ve been able
to do it before,” Rangers coach
Alain Vigneault said.
“Past doesn’t necessarily dictate the future, but I have a lot of
confidence in this group that we
can raise our level of play.
There’s no doubt Tampa has done
that. Now we need to do the
same.”
The Lightning feel one key to
Game 3 will be getting off to a
fast start, much the way they did
Monday night in New York.
Although they had the NHL’s
top home record during the regular season, they’ve already lost
three times at Amalie Arena during the playoffs.
One of those losses came in a
listless performance following a
big road win, dropping them into
a 3-2 series hole against Detroit

Kruger puts
Chicago past
Ducks 3-2
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) —
Marcus Kruger deflected
Brent Seabrook’s shot
16:12 into the third overtime and the Chicago
Blackhawks evened the
Western Conference
finals with a 3-2 victory
over the Anaheim Ducks
in Game 2 on Tuesday
night.
Andrew Shaw and
Marian Hossa scored
power-play goals in the
opening minutes of the
longest game in the
Blackhawks’ 89-year history.
Chicago then played
nearly 110 consecutive
scoreless minutes in the
longest game in Honda
Center history, but
Kruger got in front and
made a fortunate deflection past Frederik
Andersen, who made a
career-high 53 saves.
in the first round.
Although they bounced back to
win the next two games and
advance, forward Ondrej Palat
said the team learned a valuable
lesson: you can’t relax just
because you’re comfortable with
circumstances.
“We need to play every game
like it’s a Game 7,” said Palat,
who teams with Johnson and
Nikita Kucherov to form Tampa
Bay’s “Triplets” line that’s
scored 21 of the Lightning’s 41
goals this postseason. “Hopefully
we’re going to do that
(Wednesday) and for the rest
series.”
Lundqvist is 19-11 with a 1.77
goals-against average, .934 save
percentage and four shutouts in
30 games the Rangers have
played following a loss since the
start of the 2012 playoffs.
New York captain Ryan
McDonagh called the Rangers
performance in Game 2, which
included yielding a short-handed
goal and failing to capitalize on
more scoring opportunities themselves, embarrassing.
He didn’t back off the assessment when he spoke with
reporters at the team hotel on
Tuesday night.
“I’d never seen the group play
like that. It was a lot of things
we could control,” McDonagh
said, adding there was no more
room for performances like that
if the Rangers expect to win the
series.
“We’re got to give ourselves a
better chance than that,” the
defenseman said.

Canajoharie’s Willie Parrino, right, connects for a double in front of Maple Hill catcher Anthony Butler during Tuesday’s game in
Canajoharie.
Inning,
from page 24
Then the wheels fell off for Canajoharie.
Two more runs for Maple Hill in the fifth
only made a potential comeback more difficult against Wildcats ace Tommy Miller,
and after the seventh-seeded Cougars
missed a golden chance to rally in the bottom of the frame, 10th-seeded Maple Hill
pounced with eight runs in the sixth to turn
what had been a tense first-round playoff
game into a 13-2 runaway.
“We’ve had that bad inning all year long,”
Canajoharie coach Brent Watterson said.
“Against teams that aren’t good, we can get
through it. Against good teams, we don’t
get through it.”
Things spiraled out of control as the game
wore on, but for Watterson it was easy to
spot the tipping point — the error in the top
of the fourth.
“If we get that out, we’re still up 2-0 and
we still have momentum,” he said.
Before that point, the Cougars built their
2-0 lead on Anderson’s two-run single in
the fifth. That was all they could put across
against the hard-throwing southpaw Miller,
who scattered four hits and struck out 12 on
86 pitches over 5 1/3 innings.
“Canajoharie swings the bat pretty well. I
told (Watterson) that I thought they put
some good swings on Tommy early,” Maple
Hill coach Rico Frese said. “But, Tommy
bears down and he’s a fierce, fierce competitor.”
After Maple Hill took the lead in the
fourth, the Wildcats added two more runs in
the fifth on Zach Frese’s RBI squeeze bunt
and Miller’s RBI single. The Wildcats were
aggressive on the basepaths all afternoon,
stealing six bases to try and create scoring
opportunities.
“I call them ‘sectional runs,’” Rico Frese
said. “You’ve got to scrape some runs
together and advance runners as much as
possible.”
Even after allowing five straight runs,
Canajoharie had a golden chance to come
from page 24
and 1,600-meter runs.
The Canajoharie girls powered
to the team title with 140 points,
led by Dainara Veeder’s victories
in the 100 and 400 hurdles.
Jordan Porter led a sweep of the
top three spots in the 400-meter
dash with Jordyn Logan and
Christina Towse. Porter also took
second in the 800-meter run.
Logan also won the high jump,
Towse won the triple jump and

In the top of the sixth, Maple Hill did

Pats owner Kraft
tries to let the air
out of ‘Deflategate’
The Associated Press
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30) shoots against Houston Rockets center Clint
Capela (15) during the first half of Game 1 of the NBA basketball Western Conference finals in
Oakland, Calif., Tuesday.
Warriors rally past Rockets
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) —
Down big at home, the Golden
State Warriors went small.
It turned out to make a huge
difference.
Stephen Curry hit two free
throws in the final seconds to
finish with 34 points, and the
Warriors rallied from a 16-point
deficit in the second quarter to
beat the Houston Rockets 110106 on Tuesday night in Game 1
of the Western Conference
finals.
With the Rockets seemingly
ready to rout the home team, the
Warriors used a smaller lineup
featuring 6-foot-7 Draymond
Green at center and closed the
first half on a 21-4 run. Shaun
Livingston scored 14 of his 18
points in the quarter, helping
Golden State go ahead 58-55 at
halftime.
The Warriors held off James
Harden and Houston in the
fourth quarter again behind their
undersized lineup, which
worked especially well after
Rockets center Dwight Howard
departed with a left knee injury.
“It really stretches people
out,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr
said of his lineup full of shooters. “Houston does the same
thing. It was an interesting
chess match, because they like
to go small and we like to go
small.”
Harden, the runner-up to
Curry in the MVP voting, nearly brought the Rockets back
without Howard in the fourth.
Harden finished with 28 points,
11 rebounds, nine assists and
four steals, but his late push fell
short.
“You can’t give a really good
shooting team easy layups and
confidence,” said Harden, who
shot 11 of 20 from the field.
“That’s what we did in the second quarter.”
Game 2 is Thursday night in
Oakland, and it’s unclear if
Howard can play. Howard doesn’t think the injury will sideline
him for the series.
“Hopefully Dwight is healthy
and we can play big,” Rockets
coach Kevin McHale said. “We
didn’t have that option with
Dwight out.”
Harden, serenaded with chants
of “Over-rated!” from Warriors
fans, mixed in a series of stepback jumpers and driving
Timberwolves win draft lottery
NEW YORK (AP) — The
Minnesota Timberwolves
too often came to the
NBA draft lottery and left
in worse shape than they
arrived.
And when they finally
ended years of lottery
futility, it came from the
spot where nobody had
been winning.
The Timberwolves won
the lottery Tuesday
night, the first time since
2004 the team with the
worst record earned the
No. 1 pick.
After years of bad luck,
things finally worked out
for the Wolves, who can
perhaps choose between
big men Karl-Anthony
Towns of Kentucky and
Jahlil Okafor of national
champion Duke to put
next to Rookie of the
Year Andrew Wiggins.
“We’re in this for big
stakes,” said Flip
Saunders, the Wolves’
president and coach.
layups to help Houston even the
score at 95-all midway through
the fourth.
But the Warriors shut down
Houston for long stretches, and
Curry kept hitting shots to
match Harden’s brilliance.
Curry connected on a 3-pointer
and converted a layup to put
Golden State up 108-97 with
2:01 remaining.
“It’s entertaining basketball.
We’re both supposed to help our
team win and do what we can to
impact the game,” said Curry,
whose 2-year-old daughter
Riley, playfully interrupted him
during his postgame news conference.
The Rockets never relented,
though, with Trevor Ariza making a 3-pointer that trimmed the
Warriors’ lead to 108-106 with
14.6 seconds to play.
Curry twice caught the
inbounds pass, and the Rockets
were forced to foul him both
times. He hit both free throws to
seal Golden State’s win.
“When we go small, it’s not
necessarily small. We have guys
“The big thing about this
is getting good talent
that can blend together.
This is another big step.”
The Los Angeles Lakers
moved from the fourth
spot to second, keeping
a pick they would have
sent to Philadelphia if it
fell outside the top five.
The 76ers are third followed by the New York
Knicks, who had the second-best odds of winning but instead fell to
fourth 30 years after winning the first lottery and
drafting Hall of Famer
Patrick Ewing.
Not since Orlando won
the right to pick Dwight
Howard in 2004 had the
NBA’s ultimate game of
chance came out in favor
of the team with the best
odds. The Timberwolves
had a 25 percent chance
of landing the top pick in
the draft to be held in
New York on June 25,
after finishing 16-66.
out there that can guard multiple
positions,” Livingston said.
“From there, it’s just feeding off
our crowd.”
Curry added six rebounds and
five assists, and Green had 13
points, 12 rebounds and eight
assists to boost the Warriors
when they needed it most.
Ariza scored 20 points and
Josh Smith had 17 points and
seven rebounds for the Rockets.
In the conference finals for the
first time since 1976, the
Warriors hardly looked like the
league’s top-seeded team at the
outset. Instead, the Rockets rode
the momentum from a stunning
3-1 series comeback against the
Los Angeles Clippers that ended
with a Game 7 win in Houston
on Sunday.
The only setback to Houston’s
hot start came when Howard
briefly left in the first quarter after
colliding with Smith. Howard
returned after a few minutes, and
the Rockets raced out to a 49-33
lead midway through the second
quarter that left the home fans
stunned and silent.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) —
Robert Kraft isn’t challenging
punishments handed to his
Patriots in the deflated footballs
scandal.
The players’ union is ramping
up the intensity in its appeal of
New England quarterback Tom
Brady’s penalties.
So what else is left for the owners to consider in “Deflategate?”
Well, how the footballs are handled and secured before games
certainly is one topic. Given the
issues emanating from the AFC
championship game, a solution to
avoiding future problems needs
to be reached soon: these are the
last scheduled owners meetings
until October.
Kraft himself made it clear
Tuesday how critical it is for the
NFL to put the subject to rest.
“The one thing that we all can
agree upon is the entire process
has taken way too long,” he said
while announcing the Patriots
won’t fight $1 million fine and
loss of first-round (2016) and
fourth-round (2017) draft picks.
“I don’t think anyone can believe
that after four months (since) the
AFC championship game we are
still talking about air pressure
and the psi in footballs.”
The NFL requires a range of
12.5-13.5 pounds per square
inch. Footballs with less pressure
can be easier to grip and catch
and some quarterbacks prefer
those with less air.
Kraft knows the rhetoric won’t
abate with the NFL Players
Association taking on the league
in Brady’s appeal of his fourgame suspension for his role in
underinflated footballs being
used in the conference title game
last January against Indianapolis.
But he felt he was doing his part
to lessen the talk.
“What I’ve learned over the last
21 years is the heart and soul and
strength of the NFL,” he said, “is
the partnership of 32 teams. At
no time should the agenda of one
team outweigh the collective
good of the 32.”
Kraft also recognized the powers given to Commissioner Roger
Goodell.
“Although I might disagree in
what is decided, I do have respect
for the commissioner, and
believe he is doing what he perceives to be in the best interest of
the 32,” Kraft added.
Goodell, who will meet with
the media Wednesday when the
meetings conclude, has decided
to hear Brady’s appeal himself.
The union on Tuesday officially
requested that he recuse himself,
saying he not only will be called
as a witness, but that he is not
impartial.
Brady’s appeal should be heard
within the next week.
An NFL spokesman said the
league would have no comment
on the union’s request.
Kraft was livid when the Wells
Report, which was commissioned by the NFL and took nearly four months to compile, contained what he termed “all circumstantial, no hard evidence.”
His refusal to appeal the discipline doesn’t change his view of
the investigation’s findings.
One item the owners took care
of amid the concentration on the
air in footballs was kicking them
for extra points. They voted 30-2
to move the snap for extra-point
kicks from the 2-yard line to the
Players’ union
asks to hold
NFL’s Goodell
in contempt
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) —
The NFL players’ union
has asked a federal
court to hold the league
and Commissioner
Roger Goodell in contempt for not complying
with a federal judge’s
order to send Adrian
Peterson’s disciplinary
case back to an arbitrator.
The filing on Tuesday
alleges that Goodell and
the league “have deliberately ignored both the
court’s decision from 11
weeks ago and our
repeated requests to
comply with that order.”
On Feb. 26, U.S.
District Judge David
Doty ordered the NFL to
change its decision to
suspend the Minnesota
Vikings running back
indefinitely after he
injured his 4-year-old
son with a wooden
switch last year in an
attempt to apply discipline.
Peterson’s suspension
was lifted last month by
Goodell, but the running
back has not joined the
Vikings and arbitrator
Harold Henderson has
yet to issue a new ruling
after the initial discipline
was vacated. The union
alleges in the filing that
the league has instructed Henderson not to act
until its appeal of Doty’s
ruling is heard by the
Eighth Circuit Court of
Appeals.
“The delay tactics,
inconsistencies and
arbitrary decision making of the league has
continued to hurt the
rights of players, the
credibility of the league
office and the integrity
of the collective bargaining agreement,”
NFLPA President Eric
Winston said. “In the
absence of any action
by the NFL’s governing
board of owners, the
players have acted to
hold the NFL accountable to our players, the
CBA and to the law.”
15. Two-point conversion tries
will remain at the 2.
But defensive teams will be
allowed to return blocked kicks or
turnovers on the extra points to the
other end zone to earn two points.
“There was strong sentiment
coming out of our meetings in
March that something had to be
done with our extra point,” said
Texans general manager Rick
Smith, a member of the competition committee that proposed this
specific rule change. “From a
kicking perspective, the try was
over 99 percent (successful), so
we tried to add skill to the play.
“It was also a ceremonial play.”

Miller gives up 2-run HR in
10th, Yanks fall to Nationals
WASHINGTON (AP) — For a combined
38 2-3 innings spread over six weeks, New
York Yankees pitchers Andrew Miller and
Dellin Betances were as good as it comes in
late-inning relief.
With setup man Betances, a righty, usually assigned the eighth, and closer Miller, a
lefty, the ninth, neither had allowed an
earned run in 2015.
And Miller had not been charged with any
sort of run at all, going 13 for 13 in save
chances.
Until Tuesday night.
Until Ryan Zimmerman’s career-long
knack for game-ending homers trumped
Miller’s season-long ability to avoid allowing opponents to score.
Zimmerman’s two-run shot off the rightfield foul pole with two outs in the 10th
inning off Miller lifted the surging
Washington Nationals to an 8-6 comeback
victory Tuesday night over the Yankees and
into a first-place tie in the NL East.
“He’s not going to be perfect,” Yankees
manager Joe Girardi said about Miller.
“You know, he gave up his first run. And the
two guys at the back end of our bullpen
have been really special.”
As if the loss in a game New York led 6-2
weren’t bothersome enough, the Yankees
also found out afterward that they would
need to put center fielder and leadoff hitter
Jacoby Ellsbury on the disabled list with a
sprained right knee.
Ellsbury, who entered the game with a
team-leading .327 batting average, left
Tuesday’s game in the fourth inning after
Girardi noticed the player seemed hurt
while batting. Ellsbury walked that inning,
went to second on a groundout and wound
up scoring.
While Ellsbury was on second, Girardi
visited him and temporarily left him in.
“I went out and talked to him and said,
‘Are you in a lot of pain?’ And he said, ‘No,
not really.’ And then I said, ‘Can you run?’
And he said, ‘Let me see. Let me get
through this inning and let me see.’ And
when he got in the dugout,” Girardi
recounted, “we just said, ‘That’s it.”’
Zimmerman’s fifth homer this season —
and 10th game-ending homer of his career
— made a winner of Matt Grace (2-0), who
threw the 10th and was helped by center
fielder Denard Span’s sprinting, diving,
tumbling catch of Brett Gardner’s sinking
liner.
Bryce Harper hit one of Washington’s
three solo shots, giving him an NL-high 15
homers this season, as the Nationals
improved to 13-4 in May.
After being 7-13 and eight games out of
first place on April 27, they have moved to
23-17, even with the New York Mets in
their division.
“We’ve really stayed with it and trusted
what we’re doing,” said Drew Storen, one
of five Nationals relievers who combined
for five scoreless innings.
That helped set things up for the 10th,
when Yunel Escobar walked. Miller struck
out Harper, bringing up Zimmerman.

Miller’s tough slider, what was the lefty try-

Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz hits a solo homer against the
Texas Rangers at Fenway Park in Boston, Tuesday.
Ortiz, Napoli homer as Red Sox top Rangers
BOSTON (AP) — Mike Napoli
found a flaw in his swing on the
cross-country flight after his difficult road trip. Then he sent a liner
soaring into the left-field seats.
Napoli watched video while flying from Seattle on Sunday and
noticed something important.
“I wasn’t getting into my load
position,” he said. “I’m not saying
it’s fixed or anything. I had a good
night.”
After going 4 for 27 on the trip,
he went 2 for 4 with two RBIs to
help the Boston Red Sox beat the
Texas Rangers 4-3 Tuesday night.
David Ortiz also homered and
drove in two runs, and Wade
Miley (3-4) pitched seven solid
innings after struggling much of
the season.
Napoli’s turnaround was the
most impressive.
He began the game batting .162.
But he gave the Red Sox a 2-0
lead against Yovani Gallardo (3-6)
with a leadoff homer in the fourth
inning, his fourth of the year.
Napoli then followed Ortiz’s sixth
homer in the fifth with an RBI single that made it 4-0.

“Not a fastball up and away. That’s kind of

know, it stinks. I let everybody down.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Yankees: OF Slade Heathcott will be
called up from Triple-A Scranton-WilkesBarre on Wednesday to take Ellsbury’s spot
on the roster. ... RHP Masahiro Tanaka is
slated to throw about 45 pitches in a minor
league rehab start at Triple-A ScrantonWilkes-Barre on Thursday. ... RHP Chase
Whitley had Tommy John surgery on
said. “The home run to the pull
side on the breaking ball, that’s a
pitch he’s been missing.”
Boston got a scare when Leonys
Martin started the ninth with a
pinch-hit homer off Koji Uehara,
ending the closer’s streak of eight
hitless appearances. Uehara,
however, held on for his 10th save
in 11 opportunities.
The Red Sox got off to a strong
start on their six-game homestand
with one run and four hits in the
first, while Miley held the Rangers
scoreless through the fifth.
Boston took a 1-0 lead when
Dustin Pedroia doubled and scored
on a single by Ortiz. Singles by
Hanley Ramirez and Pablo
Sandoval loaded the bases, but all
three runners were stranded.
Miley put runners in scoring position in five of his seven innings but
allowed runs in just one of them. In
his previous start, he pitched 6 2-3
scoreless innings.
“Getting into more of the
rhythm, you create a little confidence with a good (game) then
another good one,” he said.
Trailing 4-0, the Rangers scored
two in the sixth on a double by
Kyle Banks, a run-scoring single
by Thomas Field and an RBI triple
by Robinson Chirinos.
Tuesday, less than a week after leaving a
game because of elbow pain.
Nationals: LF Jayson Werth went on the
15-day DL with a bruised left wrist.
Washington recalled INF Wilmer Difo from
Double-A Harrisburg. Difo made his major
league debut in the seventh inning, delivering a pinch-hit single.
UP NEXT
In the 11th start of his career, and first
against the Nationals, Yankees RHP Adam
Warren (2-2, 4.50 ERA) is scheduled to
become the latest pitcher to try to slow
down Harper. Warren goes up against
Nationals RHP Jordan Zimmermann (3-2,
3.66).
NEW YORK (AP) — Jonathon
Niese left his good stuff in the
bullpen. The St. Louis Cardinals
teed off on the rest.
Niese gave up a career hightying eight runs and 11 hits in his
second straight rough start, and
the New York Mets were handily
beaten by the St. Louis Cardinals
10-2 Tuesday night.
“He didn’t have his two-seam
fastball,” manager Terry Collins
said. “Every time he called it, or
it was called for, it either went
straight or he cut it and a lot of
them, instead of cutting away
from the barrel, came into the
barrel.”
With the loss, the Mets fell into
a tie for first place in the NL East
with the Washington Nationals.
In a matchup between two of
the NL’s ERA leaders, only
Michael Wacha lived up to the
billing.
Wacha (6-0) gave up a two-run
homer to Daniel Murphy in
seven innings of four-hit ball to
join the Mets’ Bartolo Colon and
Seattle’s Felix Hernandez for
most wins in the majors. The six
wins are a career high for the 23year-old right-hander. His ERA
rose from 2.06 to 2.13.
“It’s always good whenever
you’re on the mound with that
kind of run support,” Wacha said.
The Cardinals gave him plenty
of it right from the start.
Randal Grichuk had three extra
base hits and drove in three runs
a night after striking out five
times and Mark Reynolds homered among his three hits for St.
Louis.
After his team went 0 for 11
with runners in scoring position
in a 2-1, 14-inning loss Monday
night,
Cardinals
manager
Matheny loaded his lineup with
right-handers to face the lefty
Niese, leaving Jason Heyward,
Matt Carpenter and Matt Adams
on the bench.
The new look order broke out
to match the Cardinals’ season
high for hits, set on April 28
against Philadelphia. The NL
Central leaders upped the
majors’ best record to 26-13 with
their fourth win in 10 games.
Every starter had a hit except
for Matt Holliday, who added a
sacrifice fly, and the Cardinals
went 6 for 14 with runners in
scoring position. Wacha contributed a safety squeeze in the
second to give St. Louis a 2-0
lead, and he bunted for a single
in the six-run sixth, when second
baseman Murphy failed to cover
first leaving reliever Eric
Goeddel with no one to throw to.
Murphy thought Reynolds, on
third, was breaking for home on
the bunt and raced in rather than
cover first while first baseman
Lucas Duda covered the bunt, as
usual.
“I should not be by home
plate,” Murphy said.
Said Collins: “I can tell you
that there are times where players try to do extraordinary things
when the ordinary is all that’s
needed and we’ll leave it at that.”
After giving up six runs — four
earned — to the Cubs on
Thursday, Niese (3-4) was off
from the first batter, a single by
Peter Bourjos.
Grichuk followed with an RBI
double off the wall in left.
Grichuk tripled off the glove of
center fielder Juan Lagares leading off the third and added a tworun double in the sixth.

The Associated Press
Bubba Watson has played only
nine times this year, tied with
Rory McIlroy for the fewest of
any player among the top 75 on
the PGA Tour money list.
Watson played the Cadillac
Championship at Doral and took
off four weeks before the
Masters. He is in the middle of a
four-week break before showing
up at the U.S. Open. The twotime Masters champion is simply trying to find the right balance to be a golfer, husband and
father while keeping up his energy when he does play.
“We all know theories are just
theories,” Watson said Tuesday.
“But when you look at it on
paper, I’m trying to figure out
my life. I’m looking at it going,
‘How do I get my best energy
level? How do I get the most
positive thoughts?”’
The U.S. Open is the start of
three straight weeks (Travelers,
Greenbrier) before he gets a
week off ahead of the British
Open. And starting with the
Bridgestone Invitational, he
plays six out of eight weeks.
He played only one round from
Doral until the Masters last year
— an 83 in the opening round
before he withdrew with an allergy problem — and won another
green jacket. He had four weeks
off this year and tied for 38th.
Watson figures no matter how
much time he takes off or how
often he competes before a
major, “It doesn’t mean I’m
going to play well.”
He’ll at least be in Seattle a
week ahead of the U.S. Open.
Watson said a friend has a city
church in the area and he’ll
spend the week with him. He
already has played Chambers
Bay during a charity event hosted by Ryan Moore.
“I don’t know the rules of the
USGA, but I’m going to try to
play the week before,” he said.

BUBBLE WATCH: The
BMW PGA Championship at
Wentworth and the Crowne
Plaza Invitational at Colonial are
the last tournaments for players
to crack the top 50 in the world
and receive an exemption into
the British Open.
Most of the attention is on Luke
Donald, who is No. 60 and playing at Wentworth, which is assured
of big points as the European Tour
flagship event. Others outside the
top 50, such as Thongchai Jaidee,
George Coetzee and Shane Lowry,
already are exempt for St.
Andrews.
Squarely on the bubble is Ben
Martin, who is No. 50 and playing Colonial. Charley Hoffman
also is at Colonial is on the outside at No. 53.
As for the U.S. Open, the top
60 are exempt for Chambers
Bay after next week’s tournaments — the Byron Nelson
Championship and the Irish
Open. The U.S. Open has another cutoff June 15.

NO SHARK: Greg Norman
could not have realized at the
time that Sunday afternoon in
the 2005 British Open would be
his last round at St. Andrews.
Norman told the BBC that he
will not return to the Old Course
for his final year of eligibility.
The two-time Open champion
last played golf’s oldest championship at Turnberry in 2009.
Norman said he doesn’t have
time to prepare, and it wouldn’t
be fair to take a spot from someone who can win.
“For me to get ready to go and
play at St. Andrews, I need to
practice. And I don’t have time
to practice because I’m doing
two USGA events for Fox,” said
Norman, the analyst for the U.S.
Open and U.S. Senior Open.
“I’m not going to walk to the
first tee and feel like I’m taking
up the space of some young kid
who could actually learn a heck
of a lot more from it. I don’t
believe in doing that. I think it’s
so unfair to do that.”
In that respect, Norman speaks
from experience.
He was scheduled to play at St.
Andrews in 2010 but withdrew
on the Friday before the Open
because of lingering pain from
shoulder surgery. He was
replaced in the field that year by
some young kid who made his
British Open debut at St.
Andrews — Jason Day.

NICK OF TIME: Danny Kim
of Toronto narrowly advanced to
U.S. Open sectional qualifying,
a close call measured by seconds
instead of strokes.
Kim played his 18-hole local
qualifier Monday at Mendon
Golf Club outside Rochester,
New York.
Texas sophomore Gavin Hall
shot 63 on his home course to
earn one of two spots. Kim
appeared to be in good shape to
finish second. He was 5-under
par playing the ninth hole when
he drove right into the trees, the
same place where he lost a ball
during a practice round Sunday.
Storms moved in and halted play
for nearly an hour.
According to Rochester television station WROC, Kim was
walking in when he noticed a
ball in the fairway about 30
yards away. He thought nothing
of it, returned after the delay and
saved par from the trees.
On the next tee, however, Kim
realized the ball he played was the
one he had lost in the practice
round. The ball in the fairway was
his tee shot — it apparently
bounced out of the trees. He discovered the mistake just in time.
Because he had not started his
next hole, Kim was able to play
his tee shot from the fairway with
a two-shot penalty. If he had teed
off, he would have been disqualified. He made double bogey (with
the penalty), survived a triple
bogey later in his round and shot
68 to advance.
“Pretty relieved to be going to
the next site,” Kim said.

TIGER & RORY: Tiger
Woods and Rory McIlroy are the
only players since 2004 who
have twice posted scores that
were at least 10 shots better than
the field.
McIlroy shot a 61 in the third
round at the Wells Fargo
Championship, which was 10.16
strokes better than the field average. He shot a 62 in the final
round at Quail Hollow in 2010,
which was 10.72 shots better
than the field.
Woods did it at two courses.
He closed with a 62 in the
Honda Classic in 2012, which
was 10.11 shots better than the
field that Sunday. A year later,
he shot a 61 in the second round
of the Bridgestone Invitational at
Firestone, which was 10.19
shots better than the field.

In this Sept. 30, 2014, file photo, the 16th hole is shown as a

the host golf course for the 2015 U.S. Open Championship, in

No thanks
Golfers scoff at Chambers Bay warnings
By DOUG FERGUSON
The Associated Press
Mike Davis hasn’t caused
this much consternation since
he spoke at a PGA Tour players
meeting about the evils of the
long putter.
Only this time, he was
extolling the virtues of
Chambers Bay.
Maybe to a fault.
The USGA’s executive director hosted a preview of the
mysterious U.S. Open course
south of Seattle and suggested
that even the best in golf will
have little chance unless they
arrive early and play often.
“The idea of coming in and
playing two practice rounds
and having your caddie just
walk it and using your yardage
book, that person’s done,”
Davis said. “Will not win the
U.S. Open.”
In the three weeks since that
bold prediction, the reaction
has been, well, predictable.
“We’ll play for second,” former U.S. Open champion
Webb Simpson said at Quail
Hollow with no shortage of
sarcasm.
“What’s Mike Davis’ handicap?” asked Rory McIlroy,
another U.S. Open champion
and the best player in the
world, something Davis is not.
It was a playful reminder that
amateurs who run tournaments
should not underestimate the
skill of those who do this for a
living.
No amount of chirping would
be complete without Ian
Poulter weighing in. Never
mind that Poulter has never
seen Chambers Bay. He listened to a few players who
made scouting trips on their
way to the Match Play
Championship and tweeted,
“The reports back are its a
complete farce. I guess someone has to win.”
The U.S. Open begins June
18. In some respects, it already
has started.
With one comment about
what will be required for a golf
course hardly anyone knows,
Davis added a layer of mystique to Chambers Bay. And
perhaps he introduced the one
element of a U.S. Open that
often gets overlooked.
It’s all about attitude.
Jack Nicklaus is famous for
saying how he would listen to
players complain about the
U.S. Open and figure that was
one less guy to beat that week.
“It’s a massive advantage if
you get your head in the right
place before you go,” Geoff
Ogilvy said.
Davis didn’t make the comment with intentions of putting
the world’s best players in a
foul mood before they even
arrive in the Pacific Northwest
next month. Given a chance to
clarify, he said his point was
strategy should be as important
as a good short game.
He believes course knowledge will be imperative
because of the grass, the elevation changes and sprawling
fairways so unlike a U.S. Open
test. It’s not about how far the
ball goes in the air. It’s what
happens when it’s on the
ground. The yardage book, to
his point, only helps so much.
And he lamented the drop in
practice rounds as players
appeared more concerned with
conserving energy than studying for the toughest test in golf.
“My point is, we’ve seen a
trend where golfers are coming
and lot of them play nine holes
a day and do it for two days,”
Davis said. “In the old days,
they’d come in and play three
or four rounds. And they’re not
doing that anymore for different reasons.”
Jack Fleck once played 188
holes over five days of practice
at Olympic Club in 1955, the
year he beat Ben Hogan in a
playoff. That’s a little extreme.
Phil Mickelson can take two
days to play 18 holes as he
meticulously studies a course,
particularly around the greens.
That’s Phil.
“Take Merion,” Davis said,
referring to the 2013 U.S.
Open. “No one played Merion
more and studied it more than
Justin
Rose
and
Phil
Mickelson. They spent more
time than anybody studying
the intricacies of Merion. And
guess who finished 1-2?”
Mickelson, however, was
asked which U.S. Open course
caused him to spend the most
time in preparation. Merion
was mentioned, and Mickelson
dismissed it.
“It’s a pretty straightforward
course, Merion,” he said. “I
think maybe Shinnecock was a
course that I found there were
important areas to know where
to go, where not to go, that
might be surprising if you
played it the first time.”
Any player would be foolish
not to see Chambers Bay
before arriving for the U.S.
Open. Mickelson plans to head
there next week, after it closes
to the public and before he
embarks on his schedule of
playing the two PGA Tour
events before the Open.
