FONDA — The $3.5 million efficiency plan Montgomery
County submitted to the state reveals ideas like changing to
high-efficiency light bulbs and a countywide records digitization project.
William Roehr, senior planner for the Montgomery County
Business Development Center, views the countywide Local
Government Efficiency as an evolving proposal. There have
already been some changes to the submitted plan, but the
savings would still exceed the state’s threshold for property
tax rebates.
“The plan itself is just a static document; It is a point of
departure for going forward,” Roehr said. “We did our best
to identify the things that ought to go in it — existing savings, existing ideas and so forth — but already there are all
sorts of new ideas that are filtering out.”
In order for residents to receive a property tax rebate from
the state, plans must save at least 1 percent of the municipality’s tax levy in each of the three years. Property owners will
receive a rebate for any property tax increase if the plan
meets required savings and the municipality stays within its
property tax cap limit.
Roehr said he met with representatives from all of the local
governments in Montgomery County to talk about participating in the program. The only municipalities in the county not
participating in the plan submitted to the state include the
towns of Canajoharie and Root, and the village of Nelliston.

KATONAH — The inner circle of founders
has been set for as long as anyone can remember — Washington, Jefferson, Adams,
Franklin, Hamilton and Madison.
Almost never mentioned is John Jay.
“Most people know something about him. ...
But very few know the full breadth of his
accomplishments. Most are very surprised by
what they learn,” explains Heather Iannucci,
The Associated Press director of the John Jay Homestead in this

Declaration of Independence, music and tours
(1745-1829).
of the stately, shingled house where the country’s first chief justice lived his final years.
As more of his papers have become available in the past decade, Jay’s admirers, ranging from specialists to such popular historians
as Joseph Ellis and Walter Isaacson, have been
arguing that a founder they believe underrated
deserves a closer look — for achievements
that extend to virtually every branch of government, on the state, federal and international level.
Jay was one of three contributors to the
Federalist Papers, which helped define
American government. He was president of
the wartime Continental Congress, then

Alex Cooper/Recorder staff
4 / July 4, 2015
Founder
LOCAL
from page 1
served as secretary of foreign
affairs, precursor to secretary of
state, after the Revolutionary War
ended. He was an essential diplomat whose peace negotiations
with England, leading to the
Treaty of Paris, vastly expanded
U.S. territory.
For his accomplishments heading a network of informants during the revolution, actions that
helped inspire James Fenimore
Cooper’s novel “The Spy,” the
CIA’s website calls Jay “the first
national-level American counterintelligence chief.” He also
helped write the New York
Constitution, was a founder of
the New York Manumission
Society and as governor signed
legislation that phased out slavery in the state. (Jay himself
owned slaves.)
The founders bickered colorfully
among themselves, but they
agreed on the virtues of Jay.
Noting his centrality in the talks
with England, John Adams praised
him as “of more importance than
any of the rest of us.” Alexander
Hamilton turned to Jay first when
conceiving the Federalist Papers,
and George Washington thought
so much of him that when he was
forming his original Cabinet, he
offered the first position — any
position — to Jay, who chose the
Supreme Court.
“He’s been hiding in plain sight
for all this time,” says Ellis, the
Pulitzer Prize-winning historian
who features Jay in his current
best-seller, “The Quartet,” in
which he places Jay among four
founders who made the U.S.
Constitution possible. “We can
argue about who can be on top of
the list of most important
founders until the cows come
home, but it’s clear he should be
part of the list.”
Jay was a leading nationalist,
eager to unify the former
colonies, but he has become a
regional hero. The John Jay
Plan
The Recorder, Amsterdam, N.Y.
The Associated Press
This circa 1933 photo made available by the Library of Congress shows the John Jay House in
Katonah.
College of Criminal Justice is
based in Manhattan. Some students at his alma mater,
Columbia University (then
King’s College), live in John Jay
Hall, and various prizes are handed out by Columbia at the annual
John Jay Awards dinner. Some
visitors to the homestead arrive
from the nearby John Jay High
School.
But recognition doesn’t approach
that of Washington and other
peers. Few Jay biographies have
been published, and none close to
the prominence of Ron Chernow’s
Hamilton and Washington books
or David McCullough’s “John
Adams.” The Library of America
has issued editions of the writings
of several founders but has no
plans for a dedicated book on Jay.
In 2005, Walter Stahr’s “John Jay:
Founding Father” received praise
from Chernow and Isaacson
among others, but he struggled to
find a publisher and ended up with
the London-based Hambledon
Continuum.
“I signed with a British publisher, for a book about a major
founding American father,” Stahr
wryly observed.
Ellis acknowledged his own
slighting of Jay. In his Pulitzerwinning “Founding Brothers,” a
million-seller published in 2000,
Ellis does not include Jay among
the eight “most prominent political leaders in the early republic,”
an omission Stahr points out in
his biography. “If I knew what I
know now when I wrote
‘Founding Brothers,’ Jay would
have been one of the players,”
Ellis now says.
Jay supporters believe his relative anonymity is mostly a story
of paperwork and personality.
The balding, gray-eyed Jay
lived quietly and died quietly, not
on a battlefield or in a duel with
Aaron Burr, but in his library, at
age 83. He was not a humorist
like Franklin, or intemperate like
Hamilton, but dependable and
unusually honorable.
Historian Gordon Wood pointed
out that when Jay was New
York’s governor, he refused to
endorse Hamilton’s scheme in
1800 to manipulate the state’s
electoral laws during a close
presidential campaign and deny
the White House to Jefferson,
their political rival. That was
Jay’s “finest moment,” Wood told
The Associated Press in an email.
In Stacy Schiff’s biography of
Franklin in Paris, “The Great
Improvisation,” she noted that
Jay never tried to compete with
or undermine Franklin while both
were diplomats abroad and was
willing to endure financial and
physical hardship on behalf of
independence. That included
spending “30 murderous months
on the periphery of the Spanish
court,” waiting in vain for $5 million in promised aid, Schiff wrote
in an email.
Jay, she said, “never seems to
lose his cool, or his dignity.”
The scarcity of documents has
plagued Jay historians. Over the
past 60 years, the papers of
Washington, Jefferson and others
have been duly compiled and made
widely available. Jay’s papers have
been long delayed, with Stahr and
others blaming the late Columbia
University professor Richard
Morris, who for decades had control of the material.
“When Lynne Cheney decided
she was going to tackle James
Madison, she had a tremendous
amount of stuff to work with,”
says Stahr, referring to Cheney’s
Madison biography that came out
in 2014. “When I tackled John
Jay, it was hard.”
Morris died in 1989, with only
two of four planned Jay volumes
completed, and for years the project was idle. New funding
revived it in 2004, around the
time Stahr was finishing his
book. And a team of editors at
Columbia led by Elizabeth M.
Nuxoll is scheduled to have a
seven-volume set completed and
released by 2020. The fourth volume is out in November.

“There are a lot of sharp people out there
in these small villages and towns,” Roehr
said. “They are willing to work for this and
they have the capacity to innovate.”
The county’s plan is a combined proposal, so a 1 percent tax levy savings must be
achieved across all municipalities and not
on a single taxing jurisdiction, according
to Roehr. However, he does believe every
municipality would achieve or exceed a 1
percent savings.
County Executive Matthew Ossenfort
said only through existing initiatives
would the countywide plan hit the required
savings.
“Montgomery County stepping up in
regard to the management of the closed
landfills — that is saving in the ballpark of
$100,000 a year,” said Ossenfort.
The projected $3.5 million savings
would be achieved from 2017-19 through
nearly two dozen efficiency and shared
service initiatives.
“We are going to meet statutory requirements to get the tax rebate in place, but the
far more important thing here is how we
go forward,” Roehr said. “That is a fluent,
constantly evolving process. Already there
are ideas emerging from these communities.”
While the town of Canajoharie is not participating in the county’s plan, local officials are working with the county on
shared service initiatives. Roehr said the
town does fabrications in house, which
could save other municipalities money if
they went to Canajoharie instead of taking
vehicles to Albany for certain repair and
maintenance work.
For many towns countywide, a big cost
driver is highway services and equipment,
said Roehr.
“On a lot of these vehicles the chassis
wears out well before the drive train does,
so you have a strong transmission and
strong engine but your vehicle is rotted,”
Roehr said. “My understanding is (the
town) goes out and sandblasts their stuff
… putting whatever protective coating is
needed on there, and it keeps the chassis
together for much longer.”
Municipalities countywide have different
specialties, which he said could be shared
to create the capacity to expand services.
Admittedly, Roehr said not everything
included in the plan will produce the savings as hoped.
“We are going to encounter things that
are unforeseen at this time. Part of the
process is to take a good hard look at these
ideas and really see what is viable.”
One of the plan initiatives already
dropped includes the county providing
economic development services to the city
of Amsterdam. The idea had been included
when it appeared the city council was
going to eliminate the position, according
to Roehr.
Ossenfort stressed the county is not looking to control or take over economic development in the city.
“I do feel that a robust economic development team at the county level is the best
thing to market our county as a whole,”
Ossenfort said. “While I do feel like the
county is better prepared to take the lead, I
do feel that it will always require a strong
partnership with the city related to their
specific needs.”
What happens in the city, said Ossenfort,
has a “tremendous effect” on the county as
a whole.
“We would be negligent if we didn’t look
at contingencies,” Roehr said. “Even after
they’ve refunded that position, what if
they go after it next year? What if they try
to take it out of the charter?”
Robert von Hasseln, director of community and economic development in the city,
holds the position council members had
threatened to cut from the budget. Von
Hasseln said the county’s proposal is simply a bad idea.
“The county doesn’t exactly do the same
thing as we do and it never has and it never
could,” von Hasseln said. “As long as we
want to be a city we have to look out for
ourselves.”
However, von Hasseln did not hold any
ill will towards county officials for including the proposal. He also does not believe
the county wants to control economic
development in the city.
“I personally do not have a problem with
anybody up at the county,” von Hasseln
said.
There were three other initiatives that
have been dropped since it was submitted
to the state, said Roehr, because savings
were too hard to calculate for individual
municipalities. He also said the very last
initiative in the plan was an error due to
the state’s submission portal.
Deciphering exactly what some efficiency and shared services initiatives are in the
document can be difficult, but the brief
descriptions aren’t the county’s fault,
according to Roehr.
“We were allowed, within the module,
250 characters,” Roehr said. “It took about
1,000 words or so to really describe what
you are doing. The better format would
have been to leave it open ended.”
Ossenfort said a prime example for the
need to extend the descriptions concerned
the shared services proposal between the
departments of public works countywide.
One aspect of the DPW proposal
includes implementing web-based portal
software developed for Oneida County.
The software will be provided at no cost to
Montgomery County and allow for an
inventory of equipment and services to be
shared countywide.
A large project outside of the DPW initiatives involves implementing a countywide
records management program by purchasing content management software to allow
records to be managed digitally. Existing
physical records could also be scanned
into a digital format to be accessed electronically.
Savings would be realized through operational efficiencies with faster retrieval
and management of digital records and a
reduction of floor space needed for filing
cabinets, according to county officials.
Montgomery County, the city of
Amsterdam and the town of Florida have
applied for funding through the state Local
Government
Records
Management
Improvement Fund to cover costs for software purchases and licensing needed for
the new records management system.
These would be the first to implement the
new system, with other municipalities
able to join by 2017.
The county and the city are also planning
to take several measures to reduce energy
costs, ranging from the construction of
solar panel systems to changing out inefficient light bulbs.
Ossenfort is planning to hold meetings to
develop more efficiency and shared services ideas. Proposals developed during the
meetings would be assessed and resources
would be allocated for viable ideas to be
implemented.

Grant to expand B-PCS
TLC’s 1,000 Book Club
BROADALBIN — The Broadalbin-Perth Education
Foundation awarded its latest grant to The Learning
Community Building Improvement Team to expand and relaunch the 1,000 Book Club at the school.
The 1,000 Book Club is a lending library consisting of 100
bags of 10 books each. It was developed several years ago by
the elementary Shared Decision-Making Team as a way to
promote reading.
Over time, some books and bags have gone missing, and the
expansion of the pre-k program for the 2014-15 school year
means there are more families and students who could potentially use the book bag program. The Building Improvement
Team, which consists of teachers Beth Tomlinson, Katie
Murphy, Chris Morrissey, Thad Izzo and Sandy Sullivan, will
receive $879 to replace missing books and expand the program to 200 bags.
The Broadalbin-Perth Education Foundation has grant
cycles in December and May, and encourages applications for
funding programs that will benefit B-P students. Log on to

Hispanic leaders say Republican Party must condemn Trump
By STEVE PEOPLES
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Hispanic
leaders are warning of harm to
Republican White House hopes
unless the party’s presidential
contenders do more to condemn
Donald Trump, a businessman
turned presidential candidate
who’s refusing to apologize for
calling Mexican immigrants
rapists and drug dealers.
Trump’s comments, delivered in
his announcement speech last
month, have haunted the GOP for
much of the last two weeks and
dominated
Spanish-language
media. It’s bad timing for a
Republican Party that has invested
significantly in Hispanic outreach
in recent years, given the surging
influence of the minority vote.
Yet several Republican candidates have avoided the issue altogether, while those who have
weighed in have declined to criticize Trump as strongly as many
Hispanic leaders would like.
“The time has come for the candidates to distance themselves
from Trump and call his comments
what they are: ludicrous, baseless
and insulting,” said Alfonso
Aguilar, a Republican who leads
the American Principles Project’s
Latino Partnership. “Sadly, it hurts
the party with Hispanic voters. It’s
a level of idiocy I haven’t seen in a
long time.”
The political and practical
Trump-related fallout has intensified in recent days.
The leading Hispanic television
network, Univision, has backed
out of televising the Miss USA
pageant, a joint venture between
Trump and NBC, which also cut
ties with Trump. On Wednesday,
the Macy’s department store
chain, which carried a Donald
Trump menswear line, said it was
ending its relationship with him.
Other retailers are facing pressure
to follow suit.
The reaction from Republican
presidential candidates, however,
has often been far less aggressive.
In a recent interview on Fox
News, conservative firebrand Ted
Cruz insisted that Trump should
not apologize.
“I like Donald Trump,” said
Cruz, a Texas senator who is
Hispanic. “I think he’s terrific. I
think he’s brash. I think he speaks
NASCAR distances itself from Trump
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — NASCAR is the latest
corporation to distance itself from Donald Trump.
On the same day one of its top sponsors called on
NASCAR to take a stance against Trump, the motorsports
series said it will not hold its season-ending awards ceremony at the Trump National Doral Miami.
“We looked at everything we saw coming down and what
we heard from our sponsors and our partners and what we
feel we should be doing, and that’s what led us to the decision today,” NASCAR spokesman David Higdon said
Friday at Daytona International Speedway.
A message seeking comment from Trump left by The
Associated Press was not immediately returned.
Higdon was responding to a letter released by Camping
World CEO Marcus Lemonis, whose company is the title
sponsor of NASCAR’s Truck Series. Lemonis made it clear
he would not attend or participate in the awards ceremony
if it’s held at a Trump property. The ceremony was held at
Doral last year.

engaging in political correctness

Tsipras: Vote no to
bailout referendum
ATHENS, Greece (AP) —
Greece’s prime minister is
urging citizens to vote “no” in
Sunday’s austerity referendum and shun those who
threaten the country with economic ultimatums.
Alexis Tsipras told throngs
of demonstrators at the main
“no” rally in Athens’ central
Syntagma Square Friday that
the referendum is not a
choice about whether or not
to stay in Europe, but a decision about living “in Europe
with dignity.”
Five-day solar flight
breaks a record
KAPOLEI, Hawaii (AP) — A
plane powered by the sun’s
rays landed in Hawaii Friday
after a record-breaking fiveday journey across the
Pacific Ocean from Japan.
Pilot Andre Borschberg and
his single-seat aircraft landed
at Kalaeloa, a small airport
outside Honolulu. His nearly
118-hour voyage from
Nagoya broke the record for
the world’s longest nonstop
solo flight, his team said. The
late U.S. adventurer Steve
Fossett set the previous
record of 76 hours when he
flew a specially-designed jet
around the globe in 2006.
But Borschberg flew the
Solar Impulse 2 without fuel.
Instead, its wings were
equipped with 17,000 solar
cells that powered propellers
and charged batteries. The
plane ran on stored energy at
night.
The trans-Pacific leg was
the riskiest of the plane’s
global travels as there was
nowhere for it to land in an
emergency.
The engineless aircraft landed in silence, the only sound
the hum of a nearby helicopter. About 200 people, includ-
ing the media, witnessed the
touch-down shortly before 6
a.m.
Aetna set to buy
Humana for $35B
Aetna aims to spend about
$35 billion to buy rival
Humana and become the latest health insurer bulking up
on government business as
the industry adjusts to the
federal health care overhaul.
The proposed cash-andstock deal, announced early
Friday, would make Aetna a
sizeable player in the rapidly
growing Medicare Advantage
business, which offers privately run versions of the federally funded health care pro-
gram for the elderly and
some people with disabilities.
The combination also would
bolster Aetna’s presence in
the state- and federally funded Medicaid program and
Tricare coverage for military
personnel and their families.
Health insurers are eager to
do more business with government payers due in part to
a Medicaid expansion fostered by the health care overhaul and Medicare
Advantage’s surging enrollment. The overhaul is
expanding Medicaid coverage
in several states as it seeks
to provide health coverage for
millions of uninsured people.

Inmate still
hospitalized
ALBANY (AP) — A prison
inmate shot and captured after
three weeks on the run in northern New York remained hospitalized Friday while the body of his
fellow escapee was handled in
accordance with the wishes of
his son.
Winthrop Allen, with the John
O. Roth Funeral Home in
Tonawanda, near Buffalo, said
that the “final disposition” of
Richard Matt’s body had taken
place. Allen wouldn’t say if Matt
was buried or cremated or offer
any other details. He said no
services have been planned for
Matt and that the funeral home
had acted upon the wishes of
Matt’s son, Nicholas Harris.
Matt was shot and killed by a
border patrol agent June 26, three
weeks after he and David Sweat
broke out of the maximum-security Clinton Correctional Facility.
A tactical team member opened
fire after Matt, lying behind a
fallen tree, aimed a 20-gauge
shotgun at the officer, according
to officials.
Sweat was captured Sunday
after being shot by a trooper as
he fled through a field near the
Canadian border. The pair had
split days before.
Sweat remained in fair condition Friday at Albany Medical
Center. It was not clear when or
where he will be transferred.
Also Friday, State Police investigating the escape sought the
public’s help in locating the
owner of a backpack Sweat was
carrying when he was captured.
Troopers say the red and black
TYR brand backpack is believed
to have been stolen from a camp
in the heavily wooded region.
Officials have said Sweat was
carrying maps, tools, Pop Tarts
and other items in the backpack.

NEW YORK (AP) — A former firefighter who responded to the World Trade Center

$5 million on a lottery
scratch-off ticket.
Carmelo Mercado was presented with an oversized
check Thursday. The 63year-old, who’s retired, gets

Mercado was among the

49 who went to the World
Trade Center on Sept. 11. He
now lives in Orange County,
north of New York City.
He was at a Queens store
in May when he decided to
play the Cash X100 game.
His first ticket didn’t get him
anything, so he decided to
buy another, which was the
winning ticket.
“I was in shock when I realized I won,” Mercado said.
“It’s a blessing.”
He said he already has a
list of ideas for what to do
with the money, including giving his daughter several
American Girl dolls and
promising, “This year’s
Christmas presents will be a
little bigger than last year’s.”

Prosecutor questions low bullying numbers
By FRANK ELTMAN
The Associated Press
MINEOLA — A suburban New York prosecutor says compliance with a state law requiring schools to report incidents of bullying,
harassment or intimidation is a “disaster.”
Acting Nassau County District Attorney
Madeline Singas found 58 percent of all
schools statewide failed to report even one
incident, and 82 percent found no incidents of
cyberbullying.
“If a school administrator told me that there
was not a single noteworthy incident ... I’d be
thrilled, but skeptical,” Singas said after her
office reviewed compliance with the 2010
Dignity for All Students Act. “I concluded
that there are serious problems.”
Singas made the remarks in a letter this
week to the chairmen of the state Senate and
Assembly education committees.
“Statewide data shows that the implementation
of the Dignity Act has been a disaster,” Singas
said. “The law’s objectives are noble, but its
implementation has been inexcusably botched.”
The prosecutor said a review of 2013-14
data from the state Education Department
found that 2,287 schools reported one or more
incidents of harassment or discrimination,
while 2,418 reported none. Statewide, 832
schools reported one or more cyberbullying
incidents and 3,874 reported none.
“To believe that so few districts have experienced these types of incidents would be
foolish,” said Sen. Carl Marcellino, chairman
of the state Senate Education Committee. “No
law is perfect and the Education Committee
will examine potential changes.”
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has ordered the
Education Department to conduct a threeweek review of compliance with the Dignity
Act following a report last week by the New
York Civil Liberties Union that found transgender students, in particular, are often
harassed in New York public schools. The
Long Island prosecutor reviewed statistics on
harassment involving all students.
“We recognize the urgency of this situation,
and we also recognize the need to get this
right. That’s why the department is working
closely with advocacy groups and school districts across the state. We must keep every
child safe,” said Dennis Tompkins, an
Education Department spokesman.
Singas noted that every school is required
under the Dignity Act to appoint a coordinator to oversee implementation of the law, but
she said many schools fail to make contact
information on the coordinators readily available to parents and students who may need
their assistance.
She also said some school officials might
fear the negative repercussions if their district
is reporting too many incidents and the stigma that goes along with being designated as a
“persistently dangerous school.” Also, administrators, teachers and staff view incident
reporting as an “onerous administrative burden that compromises the more important
work of working with students to address the
underlying problems,” Singas said.
David Kilmnick, chief executive of the
Long Island LGBT Network, agreed that
many school administrators feel if they actually log the incidents it will make them look
bad. “Bullying takes place in every school,
unfortunately,” Kilmnick said. “It is what is
done about it that determines whether or not
we are truly addressing the bullying head on
that will reduce and eliminate it.”
Ex-speaker balks at APA issues permits for
reporting his income invasive species removal
By DAVID KLEPPER
The Associated Press
ALBANY — Former Assembly
Speaker Sheldon Silver is declining to report his outside income
on a state disclosure form, citing
federal charges that he collected
nearly $4 million in kickbacks.
The Manhattan Democrat did
not include information about
income from his legal practice on
the mandatory disclosure forms,
which were filed in May but made
publicly available this week.
“Given pending proceedings in
federal court it is inappropriate to
answer this question; however,
this answer will be amended
upon completion of the proceedings,” Silver wrote on the forms.
Silver has said he is not guilty
of charges that he used his former
position to obtain clients and
kickbacks disguised as legal fees.
Former Senate Leader Dean
Skelos,
a
Long
Island
Republican, is fighting unrelated
charges that he traded his influence in exchange for payments
and a job for his son.
On his disclosure form, Skelos
reported
making
between
$150,000 and $250,000 from his
law firm last year even though he
reports providing no direct services to clients.
Skelos maintains his innocence
and is fighting the charges.
Silver and Skelos were ousted
from their leadership positions
this year after being charged by
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara.
They are both keeping their legislative seats as they fight the
allegations.
Silver’s replacement as speaker,
Bronx Democrat Carl Heastie,
listed only a modest non-governmental income of between $1,000
and $5,000 from his adjunct
teaching position at Monroe
College. He also listed between
$30,000 and $90,000 in credit
card debt and other liabilities.
New Senate Leader John
Flanagan, a Long Island
Republican, listed compensation
in the amount of $100,000 to
$150,000 from his law practice as
well as a personal loan of between
$20,000 and $50,000 “for college
and home improvements.”
Lawmakers are required to periodically file the disclosure forms,
which include their income and
liabilities using broad ranges of
numbers.

ALBANY — The Adirondack Park Agency has approved two general permits for removing non-native plants and animals from the 6
million acres of state forests and wilderness and privately owned land
in northern New York.
The agency said the permits are aimed at ensuring qualified groups
can respond quickly to infestations at specific sites and waterways or
parkwide without getting additional agency approvals. The invasives
spread and displace native species and disrupt ecosystems.
“Fast action by qualified personnel is critical to combat aggressive
invasive species,” said Lani Ulrich, agency chairwoman.
One permit authorizes the state Environmental Conservation and
Transportation Departments, the Adirondack Chapter of the Nature
Conservancy, the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program and the
Regional Inlet Invasive Plant Program to combat land species.
Among them are Japanese knotweed, common reedgrass, garlic
mustard and purple loosestrife.
The second authorizes the conservation department, Lake George
Park Commission, Hudson River Black River Regulating District,
Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program, qualified lake associations,
municipalities, certified or approved lake managers to use bottom
screens and hand harvesting against invasive plants.
They include Eurasian watermilfoil, water chestnut, curlyleaf
pondweed and fanwort.
Invasive insects include the European woodwasp. Other non-native
animals are zebra mussels, spiny waterfleas, Asian clams and
alewives.
Each authorized entity is required to submit annual reports on their
efforts.
According to the APA, the most effective method is to prevent invasive species from getting established. Options for aquatic species control range from mechanical to chemical and biological, and all have
collateral impact.

World War II POWs from Colorado get long-delayed medals
By DAN ELLIOTT
The Associated Press
LAKEWOOD, Colo. — Stooped
with age but still smiling and joking, three Colorado veterans who
were taken prisoner by the German
military in World War II got their
medals Thursday, more than 70
years after they were liberated.
“It’s overwhelming to me, to
see this turnout,” 89-year-old
John Pederson said after a ceremony in suburban Denver before
dozens of relatives, veterans and
military personnel.
Pederson, 92-year-old Clayton
Nattier and 89-year-old Keith
Hereford each got eight medals,
badges or pins for their service.
Rep. Ed Perlmutter, D-Colo.,
helped arrange the decorations.
The men were too busy in civilian life to pursue them sooner, he
said.
“They just wanted to go home
and get on with their lives,”
Perlmutter said.
Each received the Prisoner of
War Medal. Pederson also
received the Bronze Star, and
Nattier and Hereford received the
Purple Heart and Air Medal.
A brief look at the veterans’
lives:
KEITH HEREFORD
Hereford was a 19-year-old
staff sergeant and a gunner
on a B-17 bomber when the
crew had to bail out of the
crippled plane over Holland
on Nov. 26, 1944.
“Scared to death, yeah,” he
recalled.
It was his ninth combat mission.
He was interrogated in
Frankfurt, Germany, then
placed in a railroad boxcar
with 60 other men and
shipped to a POW camp.
They spent two days inside
the car with no food.
In February 1945, the
German military forced
Hereford and other POWs on
the “Black March” westward,
ahead of the advancing
Russian army. He was liberated by British forces on May 2,
1945.
Hereford, a native of Fort
Scott, Kansas, worked as a
plumber after the war.

shrugged and smiled. “I don’t
go for this kind of thing,” he
said.
CLAYTON NATTIER
Nattier was piloting a B-17
bomber when he and his
crew had to parachute out of
their damaged plane over
Germany on Sept. 13, 1944.
Then 21 years old, Nattier
was a first lieutenant on his
16th combat mission.
He suffered burns, hurt his
back and had other injuries.
Other Allied prisoners nursed
him back to health in a POW
camp hospital.
German soldiers abandoned
the camp on April 30, 1945,
as the war wound down.
Nattier peered out a barracks
window the morning of May 1
and saw another POW waving from a guard tower.
“That was a welcome sight,”
he said.
After the war, Nattier worked
in the petroleum industry. He is
a native of Concordia, Kansas.
JOHN PEDERSON
Pederson was a rifleman
and infantryman fighting in
the battle of Sessenheim,
France, when he was captured on Jan. 18, 1945. He
was 19 and held the rank of
corporal.
He spent three months in
German POW camps before
he was liberated by the
British military. The POWS
were euphoric at first, but
then had to scramble for food
because the British didn’t
have enough rations and no
one was in charge.
After the war, Pederson
worked as petroleum engineer, taught at Colorado
School of Mines and worked
for the U.S. Geological
Survey and the federal
Bureau of Land Management.
He is a native of West
Salem, Wisconsin.

OPINION
OUR OPINION
These truths
remain
self-evident
John Adams, one of our nation’s founding
fathers, had everything right but the date, when
he wrote to his wife, Abigail, on July 2, 1776:
“The second day of July 1776,” he wrote,
“will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will
be celebrated by succeeding generations as the
great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn
acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be
solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows,
games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the
other from this time forward forevermore.”
July 2, 1776, was the date that the
Continental Congress acted to separate itself
from England with a “resolution of independence,” and it is perhaps the real birth date of
our country. However, tradition has us celebrating July 4, the date that the Declaration of
Independence, a document that explains the
July 2 resolution, was signed.
That was 239 years ago and it is difficult for
us to visualize what great courage it took for
the signers to stand up and be counted. They
were, of course, looked upon as traitors by
England. They were hunted and hounded, five
were captured and imprisoned; wives and children were jailed, mistreated or left penniless.
The houses of seven signers were burned; 17
lost personal fortunes, and nine died of
wounds or hardships of the war.
These men died and are almost forgotten by
their countrymen, but they left us a priceless
document, the makings of a great country, and
individual freedoms that are unequaled. They
also left us the realization that the price of
freedom comes high.
As for the document itself, its words and
phrases are still a beacon of liberty today. The
self-evident truths “that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable rights, that among
these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” have as much meaning today.
Squeezed between the traditional holiday
cookouts and fireworks, we hope thoughtful
Americans are taking time to reflect on the
past, present and future.
The Declaration of Independence tells us it
is our right to do this; moreover, it tells us it is
our duty.
The whirlwind set in motion in America
more than two centuries ago swept Europe 20
years later. It still sings down the halls of history to us today.
The excitement of the summer of 1776 and
what it produced must constantly be re-examined and reaffirmed if the blessing of a free
society is to be enjoyed by those who follow
us.

GUEST COLUMN
Students are failing
By JOHN METALLO
For The Recorder
It seems like forever that we have been trying to
improve the public schools in America, and closer to
home, in New York state. It is time to be honest with the
people our schools serve. We have failed in our improvement efforts. Money has been thrown at schools to no
avail. New programs have been developed just to meet
with failure. The “learning gap” (whatever that is) keeps
growing. Schools are more expensive. More kids are
failing. We need more mathematics and science instruction. We need better teachers. We need more foreign language instruction. We need, we need, we need. It is time
to stop the waste and to stop ignoring what we know to
be true.
What is the reason the U.S. is failing at school
improvement? We are focusing on the wrong thing.
There is no such thing as school improvement. A school
is nothing more than a pile of bricks. We are focusing on
the wrong thing. The efforts to improve schools is not
about schools, school performance or even teacher performance, it is about improving student performance.
Deeming a school as a failure is far from accurate and
does nothing to improve student performance. As a matter of fact a significant number of students in so called
“failing” schools are doing quite well academically,
socially and otherwise.
The truth is that the focus on school improvement
across the nation and state is resulting in billions of taxpayer dollars being spent for minimal results at best.
The fact is that a school, any school, does not function
in a vacuum. In America, we choose to attempt to educate every child, not just the elite as in some nations.
While this is a noble endeavor, no one can guarantee
educational success for every student. What can and
should be guaranteed is the opportunity for an education
for every student. The concept of educating all children
poses a challenge for teachers every day. However, it is
important to realize the education is not something that
is done to students; it is done with them.
Applying the medical model to education will clarify
the situation. A physician examines the patient noting
presenting health indicators. After examining and talking
to the patient, tests may be ordered to uncover any medical issues. The doctor will then take all information into
consideration and issue a diagnosis and prescribe a treatment plan for the patient. In most cases the following of
this plan will result in improved health for the patient.
However, no one would blame the doctor if the patient
refused to follow the treatment plan and then succumbed
to the diagnosed disease. Most would hold the patient
accountable for his demise, not the physician.
In education, the teacher and staff of a school play the
role of the physician in medicine. They, like the doctor,
will be ineffective if the student does not cooperate. It is
that simple. No matter how good a teacher is, she cannot
educate a child who will not or cannot participate in the
process. No matter how much the critics and politicians
want to blame teachers and schools for educational failure, the truth is that they do not control the ultimate outcome. While the doctor must rely on the cooperation of
the patient for success, so too, the teacher cannot succeed without the cooperation of the student. Additionally
in education, due to the age of the students, parental and
family involvement play an important role in the educational process.
The handwringing over the failure of education will
continue until we stop pretending not to know what we
really know. While school personnel need to be held
accountable for providing sound educational opportunities for every student, it is up to the students and their
families to take advantage of these opportunities. Those
who do are successful students. Those who do not are
failing students. It is that simple. It is time to stop blaming failure on the schools any more than we would
blame the death of an uncooperative patient on the medical facility. It just does not make sense.
We are already spending enough money on our schools.
The key to educational improvement is to allow school
personnel (not schools) do their jobs. In order to help
more students be successful, the following steps need to
be taken:
• Provide a pre-kindergarten experience for every child.
Research indicated that what happens in the first five
years of life is as important, if not more important than
what happened during the school years.
• Ensure that school personnel provide programming to
meet the needs of all students.
• Ensure that school personnel have strong communication with the families of students as well as other community stakeholders.
• Stop placing unfunded government mandates on
schools as a knee-jerk reaction to every social ill that
befalls society.
Taking these four simple actions will go a long way to
insuring educational success for every student who wants
to take advantage of the tremendous gift America offers
them — the right to a free public education.
Unfortunately, those who do not take advantage of this
offer will fail, just like the patient who does not take the
prescribed medication.

name of the fellow whom all this is about. Secondly,
the time element is missing because it hasn’t happened
yet. Moreover, I am not even certain that he will know
I am giving him this timely warning. But if he doesn’t
read it and fails to mend his ways, we’ll all read his
name in the court news.
By
There is nothing so serious about stealing gas out of
another fellow’s car. It is more or less of a common
HUGH
occurrence and comparatively few get caught. The fact
DONLON
that the gas this fellow is stealing is being taken from
the cars of traveling salesmen who use our Pearl Street
as an all-night parking lot (when they should be paying a storage fee)
also serves to mitigate the seriousness of the crime. His technique,
however, is so bad that he needs a gentle chiding.
Consider the pail that he uses, frinstance. He keeps it on top of one
of the Johnson-Lindsay annexes. That’s not so good. Another and
more serious error comes from the failure to closely examine that pail.
In brief — it leaks. The loss of the gas is one thing and the trail that
he leaves across the lawn of the First M.E. Church is quite another.
The result of it all is that one cop and one janitor are lying in wait for
the nocturnal hauler of fuel, both about as burnt up as the grass.
Brother, take a tip — get your gas somewhere else for a while or you
are going for a ride. John Reddy and Chris Rieder are on your trail.
THE BISHOP MISBEHAVES
That “going for a ride” theme calls to mind another interesting little item. Bob Bishop started on one yesterday — all
by his lonesome in a little rowboat with an antiquated kicker. The good ship “Betsy,” I believe he calls it. He sailed from
the local port minus the fanfare that might have been expected and in case all goes well he intends to continue to the
Hudson, up to the St. Lawrence, to the Great Lakes and
again down the Barge Canal to the old home town.
How anyone could get all this nautical inspiration at East
Galway is not so easily understood. How he came to the conclusion that naming a rowboat after a sweet little girl who is
being left behind would make things all right with her is
another matter too deep for consideration here. Yet, on second thought, what matters is if you and I fail to fathom these
little inconsistencies. All along the New England coast you’ll
find brave women patiently awaiting for the return of men
who have gone to sea in boats. And they haven’t got a nice
yellow touring car to while away the lonesome hours in,
either.
THE GAME’S A TOSS-UP
Unless some last-moment cancellation is made, the cops are also
going for a ride at the Sanford Field tonight when the third donkey
baseball game of the week, between the police and the DiCaprios, is
played. The happenings of the first and second games were enough to
discourage a less determined lot, but they say they are going through
with it. First the firemen said “no” and then the Rotarians got to wondering if they hadn’t been too hasty in agreeing to Manager
McGillin’s terms. That brought another cancellation. Then the
Eastenders were signed up for the contest that has for its purpose the
bolstering of the pension fund.
Let’s hope it will draw. Let’s pity the fellow who draws that meandispositioned old gray mule. Let’s trust that too many will not be
retired to draw on the fund after it’s over. With both sides evenly
matched, the game’s a toss-up, say the experts. But that doesn’t
change matters. It’s not the toss-up that hurts. It’s when you come
down.
FOR APPEARANCES SAKE
Perhaps it was nervousness caused by my recent article on
the dumb things found in contributed matrimonial
announcements that caused it. Then, too, it may not have
been a blurb at all. I dunno. But it reads strangely, that sentence found in a wedding notice:
“The bride went for a short honeymoon.”
Anyway, for appearances sake the re-write editor started
the groom along on that same honeymoon and as no complaints have been received it may be assumed that the bride’s
family has conceded that he is entitled to at least that much
respect.
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
The Mariaville Fire Department has become tired of waiting for
action so the dullness will be broken by a merrie minstrels on July 5
... The Fort Johnson firemen are requesting the villagers to advance or
postpone prospective fires so that August 18 may be left open for a
gala field day ... Most unusual news writing of the year: That “Saga
of a Half-Barrel of Beer” in Monday’s Little Falls Times, wherein the
half tells of all that happened to it on Sunday last when it was stolen
from a drinkery by two thirsty roisterers who didn’t care for bars —
but are now behind them ... When the only front of its kind (all open)
in this section is completed, the former Moore stationery store on
Market Street will be decorated with fruits and vegetables ... Dr. L.E.
Moore, retiring president of the “Y,” was remembered with a reducing
belt eloquently presented by Jim Husband at Bean Hill Monday night.
Which was nice — until you know that the harness came unsolicited
in the morning’s mail, that its girth possibilities were not over a 33,
and that no one knew what to do with it until the presentation was suggested.
This was originally published July 3, 1935.
OPINION
July 4, 2015 / 11
Thinking afterthoughts
Have you ever encountered an
afterthought while at the same time
thinking you might have missed out
on what you really wanted to say?
For instance let’s say a salesperson
with an ever convincing sales pitch
sells you a product along with some
added features. A couple of weeks
later you realize it wasn’t necessary
By
to purchase those added features.
MICHAEL
Suddenly an afterthought occurs
LAZAROU
where you feel the sense of “I’ve
been duped.”
For those not sure of an afterthought allow me
to take you back in time to see if what I’m about
to discuss deserves a few questions as to how it
suddenly came about. Before taking you back to
the time of the event I would first like to offer up
a brief review and analogy of the word “afterthought” which hopefully will maybe jar your
brain cells as it did mine. An afterthought is usually when you think of something at a later date
which might also be referred to as a second
thought. You might even at times need to take a
deep breath and reconsider if your afterthought is
worth discussing again. You can also look at an
afterthought as something added, as a feature
that was not included in the original plan or
design. For example (hypothetically speaking)
the artwork was added to the pedestrian bridge
as an afterthought. Of course we all know the
artwork was always there in the original concept
... right?
OK folks, now that my brain waves are working
again and reminding me of an afterthought I’m
now ready to journey back in time to see if you’re
seeing what I missed. It has to do with a political
stage with three performers standing at the foot of
the footbridge presenting to the taxpayers a sudden beam of light coming down from up above
for $1 million dollars! Am I missing something
here? Were we left in the dark on this or was it
just another fixture in the way our political system
works? Here we have the big three with all smiles
from ear to ear singing the tune “Pennies from
Heaven” (by Frank Sinatra & Bing Crosby) while
taxpayers sit scratching their heads asking the
question “how did this happen?” According to our
trustworthy big three this remarkable feat took
more than a year to accomplish. Do you mean to
say all of the past bickering between council
members and the mayor about matching a
$325,000 grant was for show only? Should we
now forget about it and move on without saying a
word?
Folks my afterthought is telling me there’s something not right on how this whole political process
works and looks. Therefore I need to say something about what I missed in my afterthought. If
you haven’t noticed let’s take a look at how this
wonderfully orchestrated stage was set up where
we end up with the three tenors singing their tune
HOLD THAT THOUGHT
at the foot of the footbridge for a boatload of
money. Keep in mind folks the pedestrian bridge is
not the issue but rather the inner workings of how
it came about with one political party pounding
their chest sending a subliminal message to the
voters while the other sits back and watches.
When bids on the construction of the bridge were
originally sought, the cost of the project was
roughly $12.5 million with any remaining money
used toward the decorative display. Due to the rise
in material costs the bids ended up significantly
higher thus eliminating extra money for the aesthetic elements. City officials followed up by
applying for help through a Regional Economic
Development Council consolidated funding application. Mayor Thane said they applied for $1 million through several grants offered by the council
with the intent to use the money to offset the
required match. It’s when Amsterdam was awarded only $325,000 that city officials decide to
approach the state.
Here’s the kicker folks, according to a spokesman
in Assemblyman Santabarbara’s office, the
Assembly decided to fund the entire $1 million
because the money can’t be used as a match toward
another grant. Therefore rather than just fund the
$650,000, they wanted to make sure the entire project was completed. But wait that’s not all.
Santabarbara said the “funding made available
through the Assembly did not need the support of
the Senate,” which means Sen. Amedore and the
rest of one particular party was not included in the
show of shows. According to reports Sen. Amedore
could not be reached for comment. I guess he was
not invited to the party. Folks are you seeing what
my afterthought is seeing? My afterthought is
telling me the bridge has turned out to be not for the
people but instead a selling point for the party. Of
course this type of situation could easily be demonstrated on the other side of the aisle. For some reason partisan politics always seems to take either a
left or right turn when it comes to showmanship.
So the legend lives on where both sides continue
to fool us on how their plan is the best plan. Isn’t
it funny that when good things arrive like a million
bucks you will see one side hop on stage to accept
the credit and when bad things happen they tend
sit on the sidelines like the rest of us in the audience? Stand on the stage at the right time and it
works. Maybe we’ll never get to where we want to
be. So what is it we want to be? How about the
reality of having a balanced form of government
where both sides take credit for a job well done.
By the way folks, happy Fourth of July and enjoy
your independence.
Until next time — hold that thought.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Explaining the grant money
To the editor:
After reading many opinions regarding the
grants to fund the bridge, I wanted to write this
letter to inform the residents of Amsterdam who
may not be familiar with grant funding and under
what conditions grants are awarded. The $325,000
grant or the $1 million grant given to the city for
the artwork on the bridge cannot be used to fix the
roads in the city or the housing situation in
Amsterdam.
I have been involved with many organizations
that have applied for grants and each grant is for
a specific program and cannot be used for anything else. Both the $325,000 grant and the million-dollar grant are specific grants to enhance
the waterfront. The waterfront projects in
Amsterdam are just a small part of a larger state
project to enhance the waterfront along the Erie
Canal Route — which is the reason that the state
has been so forthcoming in awarding these grants
to the cities along the canal. I would also like to
note, that a grant has to be used within a certain
time period, or it expires and it will not be
awarded again.
I have read several opinion pieces in both The
Recorder and Gazette newspapers from people
complaining about how our roads are in very bad
condition and many houses are dilapidated and
boarded up. According to a few of the writers,
the city has never looked so bad. They state that
the money should be used to improve the city
instead of using it for the artwork on the bridge.
They blame the mayor and state that she is being
financially irresponsible. They also blame her for
the condition of the city. Many of the writers
have stated that they are against spending money
on the artwork for the bridge, because of the
condition of the city. However, the brides is
being built and now with the investment of the
artwork, we may be able to enjoy an increase in
economic development, which will bring new
businesses and visitors into our city. In turn, we
will have the potential of an increase in tax revenue, which would be a return on our investment.
Residents of the city should be looking at the
Common Council to bond for the capital projects,
which would include fixing the roads and sidewalks, as well as the dilapidated housing. In the
past seven years, more than $27 million in funding
has been procured to improve the city, but much
more funding is needed to complete more capital
projects. The Common Council must be willing to
bond for the funding.
Grants that are stipulated for the waterfront or
other projects cannot be used to fix the condition
of the city. Call your alderman and ask him or her
to vote to bond for the capital projects.

Wife lonely while husband works
DEAR ABBY: I’m 19
and I got married six
months ago to the love
of my life! We have a
great relationship
despite how young we
are. There’s one problem though: my husband’s job.
His shift is 11 a.m. to
By
7:30 p.m., six days a
ABIGAIL
week, and when he is
not working, he’s sleepVAN BUREN
ing, so he has no time
for me at all and it’s
killing our marriage. We spend maybe
eight hours together a week. I’m feeling
extremely alone.
I know it’s not his fault because he has
to keep this job to support us, but the
very thing that is supporting us is tearing
us apart. What do I do? Please help. —
LONELY MARRIED WOMAN
DEAR LONELY: With the schedule your
husband is working, you should have time in
the mornings and evenings to spend with
each other — plus Sundays. However, if
your days are spent sitting around at home,
then what you need to do is find an activity
to fill your lonely hours. You could take
some classes, find a job and help out with
the finances, or meet him for lunch. If that’s
not possible, look around for volunteer
opportunities in your community.
Worthwhile organizations can always use a
helping hand.
DEAR ABBY: My best friend from college asked me to be in her wedding, and I
was excited and happy to agree.
Unfortunately, her wedding falls on the
same weekend as my older sister’s. Due to
the distance and other family obligations,
I won’t be able to attend my sister
“Sara’s” wedding. Sara has been understanding about it, but she is upset.
I want to be as helpful as possible with
the planning and preparation process as
DEAR ABBY
Sara is now down one bridesmaid, but I
am unsure how best to do it. Is it proper
to still participate in all of the bridal
party activities, planning the shower,
throwing a bachelorette party, etc., even
though I cannot attend the ceremony?
Should I try to travel there the weekend
before to help with any last-second preparations for the ceremony? — DOUBLEBOOKED BRIDESMAID
DEAR DOUBLE-BOOKED: I don’t
blame Sara for being upset. The relationship
between sisters is supposed to last a lifetime.
On the other hand, the bonds of friendship
can loosen as years pass, and often do.
Frankly, I think you made the wrong
choice in deciding which wedding to participate in — and in the interest of family harmony, you should do for your friend what
you would like to do for your sister.
DEAR ABBY: I like to wear a suit and
tie to a church where most people dress
casually. It doesn’t matter to me how others dress, and I have good reasons for my
choice in attire. But sometimes I hear
seemingly judgmental comments about
my clothing. What would be a good reaction and reply to such comments? —
JEFF IN FULLERTON, CALIF.
DEAR JEFF: People who make judgmental comments about your attire are not worth
the effort. I’d advise against getting into a
spitting contest with a viper, because it
might mess up your suit.
TO MY READERS: Have a happy,
healthy and safe Fourth of July, everyone!

For Sunday, July 5, 2015
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
This is a great day for a drive in the
country. However, it’s also a wonderful day for those of you who write, act
or teach, because you can make
money from your words.
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
Once again, this is a wonderful day
for business and commerce. If shopping, you will want to buy beautiful
things. (Well, what’s new?)

Without any effort, you will be charming and diplomatic with everyone you
meet. It’s a good day to smooth troubled waters.
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
A secret meeting with someone,
perhaps a lover, will be exciting for
some of you today. Others might be
just as excited to learn a secret or
discover something new.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
Younger, artistic people will be wonderful company today. They will make
you feel confused about life. These
conversations also might encourage
you to tweak your goals.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Conversations with bosses and
people in authority will be smooth
and easy today. Admittedly, there will
be a speed bump at some point, but
it will be brief.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Travel for pleasure will appeal to
you today. You will love to explore
new ideas or hear a teacher discuss
philosophy, religion or politics,
because you want to learn something
new today”
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
This is a great day to discuss inheritances and how to share something,
because people are amenable.
Initially, there will be a sticky moment,
but then things will flow smoothly.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

friendly today. In fact, someone
younger who is a casual friend might
become a flirtatious interest.
Smoldering possibilities!
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
In discussions with others — especially a co-worker, for those of you are
at work — things will go well. People
want to be in your presence today,
because you are warm and friendly.
AQUARIUS

This is a playful, fun-loving day! It’s
a great date day (or night). It’s also a
perfect day for playful activities with

Whatever repairs you initiate at
home will make something look more
beautiful and attractive. Family discussions will be gentle and friendly.

organizations. Help others, because
you also will be helping yourself.

YOUR LIFE
Marriage brings man to tears
DEAR ABBY: I have
been married 40 years,
and it’s just the two of
us. I work full time and
make a good living. We
have a large house in a
great neighborhood.
My problem is my
wife. She hasn’t worked
throughout almost all of
our marriage and has to
By
be the laziest person I
ABIGAIL
know. We haven’t slept
VAN BUREN
in the same bed for 20
years. She weighs 300
pounds and is always
going to diet, but never really does.
She sleeps in her own bedroom with a
huge walk-in closet piled up to the top
shelf with nice items she refuses to put
away. She also has a separate bathroom
and living room.
Her section of the house is a pigsty. It
stinks to high heaven because she never
gets around to cleaning it. The kitchen is
worse. She never cooks a meal. Either I do
it after cleaning up, or I live off TV dinners.
When it comes to our finances, we’re up
to our eyeballs in debt. She spends money
like it grows on trees. If I ask a simple
question, her replies are mean and sarcastic. I would have gotten a divorce a long
time ago if I could afford one.
I’m a reasonably good-looking guy. I
could have had an affair ages ago, but I
wasn’t brought up that way. Don’t bother
saying she should get counseling.
According to her, she has no problems.
I am so tired of living the way I do, I
could just cry if I thought it would do any
good. What do you think? — BUMMED
OUT IN SAN DIEGO
DEAR BUMMED OUT: If your wife is
happy living this way, she may be right. She
isn’t the person with the problem — you are.
Although she may not be open to counseling, you should have some to help you
understand why you have tolerated this one-
sided arrangement for 20 years. You say you
may not be able to afford a divorce, but if
what’s driving you to the poorhouse is your
free-spending spouse, it would also be in
your interest to consult an attorney to find
out if it’s possible to break that cycle.
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have a
happy, well-adjusted only child who shares
and gets along well with others. But a few
family members continually comment that
they are “surprised” he has these characteristics since he’s an only child. They
make negative remarks about only children in general and act as though he suffers because he doesn’t have siblings.
When they visit, they seem surprised that
entertaining multiple people in our home
with their children doesn’t upset us and
isn’t unusual. I point out that I have friends
who are only children who are happy, welladjusted, successful adults, yet these relatives continue to make hurtful comments.
At Christmas my sister remarked that
she doesn’t feel we are a “real” family
because we only have one child. I found it
hurtful that this intelligent woman would
say such a thing. What is the best way to
respond to these remarks? I feel like I
need to educate, as well as inform them
that they need to stop hurting me. —
HAPPY WITH ONE
DEAR HAPPY WITH ONE: A quick
start on your road to recovery would be to
recognize that the relatives may make those
snarky comments because they are jealous.
The next time you receive what you interpret
to be a criticism because of the size of your
small family, tell these people you heard
them the first time they made their tasteless
remark, and not to repeat it again.

HOROSCOPE
For Monday, July 6, 2015
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
Try to start this day gently, by doing
whatever you can to keep the peace,
especially with parents and authority
figures. Power struggles will be difficult to avoid. Have patience.
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
Tread carefully in discussions with
others today, especially when talking
to siblings, neighbors and relatives.
People are too eager to convince
each other with what they want to
say. It’s important to stop and listen.
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
Disputes about possessions or something you own or financial negotiations
are likely today. But when all is said and
done, isn’t this just a power struggle?
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
A battle of egos might take place
between you and a partner or close
friend today. Knowing this ahead of
time, you can be gracious and not
add fuel to the fire.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
Your ability to research and dig
deep for answers today is phenomenal. In fact, there is nothing you will
not do to find what you’re looking for.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Your relations with a friend or, more
likely, someone in a group might be
problematic today, because everyone
wants the last word. It might not be
worth wasting your breath.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Be patient with authority figures,
including parents and bosses,
because encounters are so intense
that some relationships will break
down today. Speaking of which,
machinery and equipment at home
might break down as well.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Power struggles with others will be
challenging today. Avoid being overwhelming with others. Never forget
what a powerful, strong sign you are.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
A different point of view about how
money should be spent or used could
lead to an argument today. Make sure
that what you’re fighting over is worth it.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
You might have some intense
encounters with others today; however, they might reveal aspects of yourself to you. Self-learning is important.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
You will be relentless in your search for
information today, because you will stop
at nothing. You’re like a dog with a bone
— you will leave no stone unturned.
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
Avoid crime-ridden areas and dangerous places, because this is a
potentially violent day. Don’t place
yourself in jeopardy.
YOU BORN TODAY You have a
strong relationship with others
because you are basically a passionate person. In turn, your passion
magnetizes others to you. This year
you will face a major decision. Save
your money in the first half of the
year and cut down on overhead
expenses, because this will help you
later in the year. Your integrity and
patience will be tested.

#CopsLoveLemonadeStands
Cops launch social media campaign for lemonade stands
By KATIE NELSON
San Jose Mercury News
PALO ALTO, Calif. — Jack
Hentzel, 9, cast a wary glance at
his nearly empty lemonade pitcher. His ice, floating listlessly in a
glass bowl on a table, was melting. His cousin, 7-year-old
Joseph Navarro, was ready to
retire for the day.
But with three thirsty Palo Alto
police officers enjoying a cool
cup of pink lemonade and with a
laptop to save up for, Jack said he
could stay out at his stand a little
longer.
“My parents want me to earn it,
and I want a Dell,” he said. “I’m
hoping the money helps me.”
Jack’s burgeoning business was
not the first lemonade stand Palo
Alto police officers visited recently, nor will it be the last. The social
media savvy department smack
dab in the middle of Silicon Valley
created a now-trending hashtag on
Twitter to put with each photo they
take at each lemonade stand they
visit
—
CopsLoveLemonadeStands.
The social media campaign was
the brainchild of Palo Alto police
Sgt. Ben Becchetti and Officer
Dave Pecoraro, and their support
for youthful entrepreneurs is
being adopted by a growing number of police departments across
the country. In their own city,
their outreach on Twitter,
Facebook and other social media
sites has led to dozens of residents clamoring for a visit from
Bay Area News Group
Palo Alto police sergeant Ben Becchetti, far left, and police officer David Pecoraro check out a
lemonade stand run by Jack Hentzel, 9, second from right, and Joseph Navarro, 7, far right, in Palo
Alto, Calif., June 22.
police officers at their children’s
lemonade stands. The first post
was put on the department’s
Nextdoor page on June 1, and it
soon became the department’s
most popular post in more than
two years, according to Lt. Zach
Perron, spokesman for the
department. In the first week
after the post went up, police
received at least 20 requests for
visits.
“I have always said, ‘Never
pass up a lemonade stand,’” said
Becchetti. “It’s my favorite thing.
It only takes a minute or two, and
I always have a dollar on me.”
Becchetti said the option for the
community to reach out to the
department to have officers visit
the stands — either by posting on
the department’s Facebook page
or on the department’s Nextdoor
page — is a great way to meet
residents. It is also a fun way for
kids to meet the police, Becchetti
added.
And the hashtag has not only
been popular in Palo Alto. It has
erupted all over Twitter. The
hashtag was created before a June
11 incident in Overton, Texas,
where a police officer shut down
two girls’ lemonade stand
because they didn’t have a permit. Now departments near and
far — from Campbell to Truckee
to departments in Nebraska,
North
Carolina
and
Massachusetts — have taken up
using the hashtag to boost community engagement and good
will rather than focusing on technicalities with vendor licensing.
“CopsLoveLemonadeStands
isn’t just about humanizing our
officers and giving kids the
opportunity to say hi (and sell
some lemonade), it is also a lot of
fun for our officers and gives
them the opportunity to build
relationships with one of our
most important assets — the
(kids) of our community,” said
Campbell police Capt. Gary
Berg.
As the hashtag and the purpose
behind it grow in popularity, Palo
Alto police will continue to visit
every lemonade stand on every
shift that they can.
Last week, Becchetti and his
swing-shift team visited a snow
cone stand, spearheaded by Anna
Mickelsen, 12, and her 9-year-old
brother, Sawyer.
With music blasting and a line
several children and teenagers
deep, the officers politely waited
to have their orders taken.
As Anna worked to make sure
she got everyone’s orders right,
she looked up briefly and smiled.
“I’m good,” she said.
The police, snow cones in hand,
couldn’t have agreed more.
Try yellow squash pickles Move pasta beyond a side dish
By Andrea Weigl
The News & Observer
You will never think the same
about yellow squash once you taste
these pickles.
I make these every summer and
anyone who receives them is soon
asking for another jar. These pickles
are great on pulled pork or ham and
cheese sandwiches. Enjoy!
SWEET YELLOW
SQUASH PICKLES
The recipe calls for pickling
salt, which is free of additives
and can be purchased with
other canning supplies and/or
next to the iodized salt at most
grocery stores. Adapted from
“My Love Affair with Southern
Cooking,” by Jean Anderson,
William Morrow, 2007. For general instructions on water bath
canning, go to
freshpreserving.com/gettingstarted.ßø
Ingredients:
3 to 3 1/2 pounds tender
young yellow squash, trimmed,
scrubbed and sliced 1/4-inch
thick
3 medium yellow onions,
peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup pickling salt
6 cups crushed ice
3 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups white distilled vinegar
2 cups cider vinegar
2 teaspoons mustard seeds
1 3/4 teaspoons celery seeds
1 3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
Instructions
Layer the sliced squash and
onions in a very large nonreactive bowl, sprinkling each layer
with salt. Pile the ice on top, set
the bowl in the sink and let
stand 3 hours.
Drain squash and onions,
transfer to a very large colander
and rinse under the cold tap
water. Drain well, then, using
the bowl of a ladle, press out as
much liquid as possible.
Wash and rinse 8 1-pint preserving jars and their closures
and submerge in a large kettle
of boiling water.
Bring sugar, white and cider
vinegars, mustard and celery
seeds and turmeric to a rolling
boil in a large nonreactive kettle.
Add squash and onions and,
stirring gently, return to the boil.
Lift preserving jars from the
boiling water one by one. Pack
with pickles, making sure they
are submerged in the pickling
liquid and leaving 1/4-inch head
space at the top of the jar. Run
a thin-blade spatula around the
inside of the jar to release the
air bubbles; wipe the jar rim with
a clean, damp cloth, then screw
on the closure. Repeat until all
jars are filled.
Process jars for 10 minutes in
a boiling water bath. Lift from
water bath; complete the seals,
if necessary, by tightening the
lids, then cool to room temperature.
Yield: 6 to 8 pints
By J.M. HIRSCH
The Associated Press
Aside from the occasional pasta salad,
America’s favorite carb often takes a vacation
during summer. It’s probably because we tend
to associate it with more winter-friendly heavy
and hot sauces.
But pasta doesn’t have to be relegated to the
salad bar when the heat is on, particularly since
it’s still one of the fastest and easiest ways to
get dinner on the table. And that’s particularly
important on nights you’d rather be enjoying
the great outdoors more than laboring at the
stove. Another perk — pasta is a great way to
take advantage of summer’s produce bounty.
To make the point, I created this fast and flavorful pasta dinner that tosses whole-wheat
penne with cooling diced tomatoes and zucchini,
a mess of fresh basil and a dollop of creme
fraiche to tie it all together. Of course, feel free to
substitute whatever fresh veggies inspire you.
But since you’re serving them raw, be sure to
finely chop them.
PENNE WITH TOMATOES, ZUCCHINI AND
CREME FRAICHE
Start to finish: 25 minutes
Servings: 4
2 large slicing tomatoes, cored and finely chopped
2 medium zucchini, finely chopped
Kosher salt
12 ounces whole-wheat penne pasta
8-ounce container creme fraiche
2 cloves garlic, minced
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Ground black pepper
Handful torn fresh basil
In a colander set over the sink or a large
bowl, toss the tomatoes and zucchini with
about 1 teaspoon of salt. Set aside to
drain for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted
water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook
The Associated Press

creme fraiche.
according to package directions until just
tender. Drain, then return to the pot.
While the pasta cooks, prepare the
creme fraiche. In a small bowl, mix
together the creme fraiche, garlic and
lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper.
Set aside.
Once the tomatoes and zucchini have
drained for 15 minutes, gently tap the
colander in the sink to shake off any
excess liquid. Add the vegetables to the
pasta, tossing well. Add the lemon juice,
taste, then season with salt and pepper.
Divide the pasta and vegetables between
4 serving bowls. Top each serving with a
quarter of the creme fraiche mixture, then
sprinkle with basil.

Around the Remote: Television picks for week of July 5-11
By CHUCK BARNEY
Contra Costa Times
DON’T MISS: Shark Week — It’s time
once again to sink our teeth into television’s longest-running summer event.
Now in its 28th year, this fin-tastic celebration of the mysterious creatures of the
deep will feature 19 hours of original programming — the most ever. It all kicks off
with “Shark Trek,” a documentary that
follows a marine biologist as he tags great
whites off the coast of Cape Cod in
Massachusetts and attempts to determine
their swim patterns. 8 p.m. Sunday,
Discovery Channel.
SUNDAY:
The chilling second season of “Penny
Dreadful” comes to an end as Vanessa
(Eva Green) relies on her strength in an
attempt to defeat the demon. We’ll put our
money on Vanessa and hope for the best.
10 p.m., Showtime.
We’re worried about Gordon (Scoot
McNairy) on “Halt and Catch Fire.”
Having discovered that he has brain damage, he heads to California to reconnect
with his brother and, apparently, tie up
loose ends. 10 p.m., AMC.
MONDAY:
“Penn & Teller: Fool Us” returns for a
second season of magical shenanigans as
more illusionists try their best to trick the
veteran duo. And take note: The rabbit-inthe-hat thing just won’t do it. 8 p.m., The
CW.
It’s the downsized version of home sweet
home in “Tiny House, Big Living.” The
new series follows families seeking to
move into a super-cozy, one-room-fits-all
property. 9 p.m., HGTV.
TUESDAY:
Let the games begin! Season 3 of
“Hollywood Game Night” kicks off with a
new set of challenges and celebrity players, including John Legend, Jesse Tyler
Ferguson, Jane Krakowski and Zachary
Quinto. 10 p.m., NBC.
WEDNESDAY:
“Million
Dollar
Listing
San
Francisco” is the latest entry in the reality franchise about pricey properties and
the ambitious brokers who peddle them.
Now, the spotlight is on the booming real
estate market in the city by the bay. 10
p.m., Bravo.
Cloris Leachman and Pia Zadora switch
spouses on “Celebrity Wife Swap.” Fun
fact: Leachman and Zadora are actually
different ages. 9 p.m., ABC.
THURSDAY:
Will viewers be seduced by “Dates”? It’s
a romantic anthology series from the U.K.
that features a rotating cast of characters
meeting for the first time via an online dating service. Expect plenty of awkward
moments. 9 p.m., The CW.
As the moody drama “Rectify” returns
for a third season, Daniel (Aden Young)
and his family cope with the fallout from
his stunning confession in the Hanna Dean
murder case. 10 p.m., SundanceTV.
FRIDAY:
Ready to go out on a limb again?
“Treehouse Masters” returns for a fourth
season that has Pete Nelson and his team
designing more private hideaways for
those who want to reconnect with nature
and awaken their inner child. 8 p.m.,
Animal Planet.
Competing teams must salvage and
repurpose junk in “Trashformers,” a new
reality series. 9 p.m., FYI.
SATURDAY:
Tonight’s installment of “Untold Stories
of the E.R.” focuses on people who were
impaled — yep, the hole thing. 9 p.m.,
TLC.
Andy Samberg and Kit Harington serve
up lots of laughs in “7 Days in Hell.” It’s
a sports mockumentary about two tennis
titans who lock up in an epic Wimbledon
match, with cameos by Serena Williams,
John McEnroe and Chris Evert. 10 p.m.,
HBO.

Kimmel’s secret to his musical mash-ups: ‘I love a good pun’
By GLENN WHIPP
Los Angeles Times
When “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” shut down
Hollywood Boulevard for a Paul
McCartney concert two years ago, so
many people turned up that the former
Beatle, gazing into a sea of humanity,
cracked, “You all right back there in ...
Santa Monica?”
He was actually looking east toward
Silver Lake, but given that McCartney put
on a free, 15-song show, beginning with
“Magical Mystery Tour” and ending with
“Hey Jude,” we can forgive a little geographical confusion.
Musical performances have long been a
hallmark of late-night television, but
Kimmel tries to take it to another level, in
part, as the host explains in an interview in
his office, because musicians were about
the only guests he could book when his
program began 12 years ago. Now he’s
mashing up bands from past and present
and occasionally shutting down traffic in
Hollywood for the likes of Van Halen,
Taylor Swift and Justin Timberlake.
“Better that than for the premiere of
some crappy action movie across the
street,” Kimmel says, nodding toward the
historic TCL Chinese Theatre. He’s not
hearing many complaints, though. Or, at
least, not as many as in the past.
Q: You closed down Hollywood
Boulevard right off the bat with
Coldplay on your first show. What do
you remember about that night?
It was the end of our first show and there
was a lot of pressure. I remember sitting
on the steps of the theater, seeing all these
people and not really believing that everyone, including Coldplay, had come to my
show. It was a great feeling. I had reached
the finish line. Of course, I was forgetting
the fact that I had five more shows to do
that week. And we probably had no idea
who our guest was the next night. But for
maybe a moment, it was nice.
Q: In the early days, you taped the
show live. Did the later hour cause any
problems with the neighbors?
Not so much. You’d be surprised. People
in Hollywood were OK with music at 10
p.m. Except when Korn played. They
seemed to come with a special agenda.
Q: Which was ...?
To set off every car alarm in the city of
Los Angeles. They had speakers stacked
up 20 feet high. It was like they were trying to kill everyone in the audience.
Q: And yet, is it true that the only time
someone has been hurt was David Lee
Roth’s self-inflicted injury when Van
Halen performed?
People thought it was from a microphone,
but it was this special pole he uses for martial arts. Twenty-five seconds into the first
song, right into his nose. He comes off
stage, bleeding. A lot. He used to be a paramedic, and he tells our medic, “Just put
some duct tape on it.” And the medic’s like,
“I have bandages, you know.”
Q: You’ve done several of these music
mash-ups, Wee-Z Top (Weezer and ZZ
Top playing together), REO Speedragons
(REO Speedwagon and Imagine
Dragons). Do you have a favorite?
Probably Kenny and Warren G. That was
the one I was most worried about. I don’t
think Kenny G was overly familiar with
the Warren G version of “Regulate,” but he
knew the Doobie Brothers riff really well.
So he latched on to that, and it was just a
very pleasant surprise.
Q: How many more of these do you
have planned?
We have many, many planned. The whole
thing started when I saw a performance of
Huey Lewis and the Foo Fighters in Japan.
Huey Lewis and the Foos. I love a good
pun. In fact, we spend way too much time
around here thinking up stupid puns. I
couldn’t even begin to add up the hours.
Q: What’s the dream pairing?
I would really like to get TLC and Sia
together.

Anglers should have a star-spangled weekend
It’s hard to believe
the United States is
celebrating its 239th
birthday. It seems like
only yesterday we
were complaining
about cold and snow,
now we’re grumbling
about the rain and in
the weeks to come I’m
sure many will be
By
squawking about the
DICK
heat and humidity. Be
that as it may, this
NELSON
long holiday weekend
is without a doubt the
most celebrated of summer, and you can
be sure that no matter what your plans,
you’re sure to have plenty of company.
Even those who haven’t held a fishing
pole in years will be putting them to good
use, so if you don’t mind sharing the
lakes, rivers and streams with hundreds of
others, by all means go out have some
fun.
It looks as though Mother Nature has
some patriotic blood running through her
veins because the weather report looks
like a Yankee Doodle Dandy. The only
problem fishermen will have is boat traffic.
Anyone who owns a boat, personal
watercraft, kayak or canoe will be on the
water somewhere and on certain waters,
boat traffic will resemble the NYS
Thruway on a Friday night.
Generally speaking, kayakers and
canoeists generally don’t interfere with
fishing, but the people who run around on
personal watercrafts often do, and many
times its done intentionally. But that’s
another story.
If you’re serious about catching fish
then you would do better fishing the early
morning and late evening hours. Most
species feed at that time and boat traffic
will be at a minimum. However, if you’re
just out there passing time, it doesn’t matter what time of the day you drop a line,
just fish a little deeper.
This is especially true for walleye,
which are currently being caught in Great
Sacandaga Lake at 25-to-30 foot depths.
During the early morning the most
active fish will be within 10 feet of shore,
maybe even closer. If you cast the bait 30
feet out from the shore and retrieve it, the
lure is in the most productive zone for
only the last 10 feet of the cast. If you
cast the bait parallel to the shore and
retrieve it, it's in the fish zone pretty
much all the time.
This technique works well for walleye
or bass, especially at night.
I mention these two species because
chances are this is what most fishermen
will be targeting.
If you happen to drift over to Saratoga
Lake, don’t be surprised if someone from
the DEC’s Bureau of Fisheries doesn’t
approach you to be part of a survey.
DEC fisheries staff has been conducting
the creel survey since May by counting
anglers and asking them for details of
their fishing experience. Participation in
the interview process is voluntary and the
survey allows anglers to contribute to
management of New York’s fishery
resources.
DEC creel clerks will approach anglers
while they are fishing or at boat launches
upon there return. Anglers are asked
about the amount of time they have been
fishing, what they were fishing for, what
they have caught or released, where they
are from and about past fishing trips.
The survey will continue through March
2016 at which time DEC biologists will
analyze the data to determine angler
effort, number of harvested fish, and size
distribution of several of the lake's important species of fish. The data will also
assist in evaluating relative fishing quality
and recreational fishing pressure. All of
this information will be used to determine
if changes in management are needed for
certain fish species to ensure a productive
fishery and good fishing opportunities.
Mohawk River to host High School Bass
Fishing Championship

charter trip for four courtesy of Capt. Bob
Lewis of Fins and Grins Charters.
To qualify for the Team Challenge prize,
a person must register four people.
The derby begins at 10 a.m. but contestants must be registered by July 17.
As this is as much a family affair as it is
a fishing event, there will also be a horse
shoe pitching contest and other activities
and, according to UWCGC Executive
Director Brad Poster the derby will be
capped off with a photo competition for
the ugliest fishing hat.
Entry forms can be downloaded from
UWCGC website at www.UWCG.org.

Tentative duck dates announced
New York waterfowl hunters eager to
make fall hunting plans can do so now
that the DEC has announced its tentative
season dates. Here in the Southeast Zone
the duck dates run from Oct. 10 to 18 and
again from Nov. 7 to Dec. 27. In the
Northeast Zone the dates run from Oct. 3
to 11 and again from Oct. 24 to Dec. 13.
And in both zones, the Youth Days are
Sept. 19 and 0.
The daily limit of six ducks includes all
species of mergansers, and may include
no harlequin ducks and no more than four
mallards (no more than two of which may
be hens), one black duck, three wood
ducks, two pintail, two redheads, two
scaup, one canvasback, four scoters or
two hooded mergansers.
For Canada geese, the first portion of
the South, Northeast, East and West
Central and Hudson Valley Zones runs
from Sept. 1 to 25. It opens again in the
South Zone from Oct. 24 to Dec. 20; Dec.
26 to Jan. 10 and March 5 to March 10.
In the Northeast Zone it’s Oct. 24 to Nov.
15 and Nov. 17 to Dec.13.
The early goose season is the same as
previous years — Sept. 1 to 25.
The Youth Hunting Weekend in each of
the above zones is Sept. 19 to 20.
In a related matter, when waterfowl
hunters purchase their 2015-16 Federal
Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation
Stamp “Duck Stamp” the first thing they
will notice is that it now cost $25. But
what they may not know is the artwork
— consisting of a pair of swimming
ruddy ducks — was the work of wildlife
artist Jennifer Miller of Olean.
Miller’s acrylic painting was one of 186
entries and one of 17 which made the
final round.
The federal duck stamp is available at
most post offices, some sporting goods
stores or electronically at
www.fws.gov/birds/get-involved/duckstamp/e-stamp.php .
A complete list of the tentative dates for
ducks in other zones can be found on the
web at
www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/28888.html. For
geese visit www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/28496.html.
Catfish derby is the cat’s meow
Largemouth and smallmouth bass are
providing anglers with most of the
action since the season opened for those
species on June 20, but down at the
United Way of Columbia and Greene
Countiesthe catch of the day is catfish.
That’s because the July 18 UW “Leo
Lasher” Catfish Derby is only three
weeks away.
Held at Dutchman’s Landing Park in
Catskill, last years derby drew more than
four hundred participants. Not that’s not
to say participants are limited to fishing
along the banks of the park. In fact contestants can fish any part of the Hudson
River they feel they can catch a prize
winning cat, and that includes fishing
from a boat.
Registration is $15, with prizes for all
ages and a casting contest for children.
The top prize is $500, but just like last
year, should anyone break the state 32pound, 12-ounce Channel Catfish
record during the contest, he or she will
drive away in a 2015 pick-up truck
courtesy of Sawyer Chevrolet, pulling
and a new boat, motor and trailer provided by Riverview Marine Services in
Catskill.
In addition, the derby also has a “Team
Challenge” side event which along with
the $500 first place prize money the winners will also received a 2016 striped bass

In what could be one of his last newsreleases at the helm of the DEC,
Commissioner Joe Martens recently
announced the agency has added campground features to New York’s Free
Fishing, Hunting & Wildlife App, including information on Adirondack and
Catskill campgrounds.
“This tool is a great use of technology
and the perfect customer service enhancement. More and more of our visitors each
year use smart phones and this App provides accurate, up-to-date information to
explore the outdoors. We are grateful to
our partners at Parks By Nature who
developed this resource - at no cost to the
taxpayers and free to the public to download,” Martens said.
Martens handed in his resignation earlier this week saying he will return to the
Open Space Institute, where he served as
president from 1998 through 2010. His
resignation takes effect July 21.
On target
Mike McGuinness of Brown’s Archery
in Schenectady wants to remind archers
who participated in the winter archery
league about the free, hot breakfast on
Sunday, July 19. The breakfast also
includes prize giveaways. In addition,
anyone who shot in any of Guan Ho Ha
winter archery shoots during the past two
years is invited (with a guest) to attend
the free shoot and chicken barbecue that
same afternoon. The shoot begins at
noon, the barbecue at 4 p.m. The only
requirement is you must pre-register by
July 14. Contact Rhit Wilcox at 518-3692957 or by email at rhit@nycap.rr.com.
And the survey says
A recent survey conducted by
HunterSurvey.com on land use revealed
that 38 percent of the respondents most
often hunted on a friend's or family member's property for free, while 28 percent
said they hunted state and/or federal
lands.
When queried as to where they hunted
in the past 12 months, 18 percent hunt
land they own, while only 11 percent
belong to a hunt club or hunt land that
they lease. Many hunters use multiple
types of land.
In addition, this same survey examined
the size of properties these hunters utilize
and found that small tracts of land remain
extremely important to providing opportunity for hunting.
Of those surveyed 38 percent of the
sportsmen hunt lands 200 acres or larger,
but 24 percent hunt properties of 50
acres or less. The next largest segment of
sportsmen — 21 percent — hunt lands
of 50 to 100 acres. Nearly 17 percent
hunt lands between 100 and 200 acres in
size.
To help continually improve, protect and
advance hunting, shooting and other outdoor recreation, all sportsmen and sportswomen are encouraged to participate in
the bi-monthly surveys at
HunterSurvey.com, ShooterSurvey.com
and/or AnglerSurvey.com. Every other
month, participants who complete the surveys are entered into a drawing for one of
five $100 gift certificates to the sporting
goods retailer of their choice.

long extension
with Sabres
AT THE POST
Plenty of holiday
racing at Belmont
It’s a Fourth of July celebration
at Belmont Park with six graded
stakes races
today. It’s
NYRA’s second edition
of the Stars
and Stripes
Festival, one
of their two
big events
during the
summer race
By
meet.
With these
MARK
races,
we’ve
HOFFMAN
got an
opportunity
to introduce my new handicapping format for the upcoming
Saratoga meet. All the stakes
races, like today and during
Saratoga, will be my main focus
each racing day. It’s my traditional format that I’ve been
using the past few years, my top
two picks and three runners to
use underneath in exotics will be
selected every day during the 40
day meet. I will not be handicapping the entire race card this
year, instead I’ll be choosing an
exotic play each day that will
consist of either an exacta,
triple, superfecta, double, pick
three or grand slam play. It will
vary each time, but those type of
wagers will make up the sixday-a-week selections along
with the stakes play. So here’s a
dry run of sorts on how my
Saratoga 2015 wagering and
plays will look this summer in
The Recorder.
Race 6: The Victory Ride for
3-year-old fillies will introduce
my exacta play of the day. This
short field has two standout runners in my opinion. The formerly undefeated (#1) Promise Me
Silver and (#5) Irish Jasper, currently on a two-race win streak
in stakes races, both at a price.
These two I would box heavily
in a exacta.
Race 7: The Dwyer Stakes for
3-year-old males will start a pick
3 play. In this race, the layoff
horse (#4) Texas Red is the
“key” or single play here. In the
next race, I'll be going three
deep with selections — (#2)
Bolo, who has speed; (#3)
Divisidero, the class and likely
favorite; and (#7) Postulation, a
European import for classy
trainer Dermot Weld. In Leg No.
3 another single with (#6)
Tonalist, who just missed in the
Grade I Met Mile in his last
start. So the play will be: Texas
Red (#4) with Bolo
(#2)/Divisidero (#3)/ Postulation
(#7) with Tonalist (#6)
Race 8: The Belmont Derby
going 1 1/4 miles on the grass
will be my double wager play.
I’ll be using the three horses
stated above in my pick 3 play
— 2/3/7 with 6 in the ninth race.
Race 9: The Suburban
Handicap going 1 1/4 miles on
dirt is my trifecta play. I will key
Tonalist (#6) on top and use
both Pletcher runners Coach
Inge (#2) and Mylute (#3), in
the place spots. For show, I’ll
use the remaining runners —
1/4/5 or ALL. This “key” triple
play will cost $8 for a $1 wager
or $4 for a 50 cent triple play.
Race 10: The Belmont Oaks
features the top 3-year-old filly
Lady Eli in a full field of 14
runners. An excellent spot for a
dime superfecta play. We’ll do a
couple different variations since
the wager is in dime increments,
both keying”Lady Eli on top and
saver wagers boxing her with
other likely contenders. First
play is a key superfecta with
Lady Eli (#2) in the first spot;
Spanish Queen (#6), winner of
the American Oaks at Santa
Anita in her last start going this
distance, and Outstanding (#10),
European invader for Aidan
O'Brien, in the place spot, using
both those two also in the show
spot along with Pine Needles
(#1), Consumer Credit (#7) and
the above four runners
(1/6/7/10) for the bottom superfecta leg, including Sentiero
Italia (#11) and Strict
Compliance (#14) also. That
makes the play: 2 with 6/7/10
with 1/6/7/10 with
1/6/7/10/11/14 which will cost
$2.40. The saver boxed dime
superfecta play will be 2/6/10/11
and that will be the same price
as the above play, but in any
order.
Race 11: For the Belmont
Sprint Championship, I’ll use
my standard play for all stakes
races this Saratoga meet. Two
picks in a exacta with three
horses underneath for exotic
plays. Top two selections are
Private Zone (#3) and The Big
Beast (#2) with Bay of Plenty
(#1), Stallwalkin’ Dude (#6) and
C. Zee (#7) as the three runners
to include with my top two
picks.

Still the boss
Tuning up for American Pharoah’s
next race in the Haskell Invitational
By RICHARD ROSENBLATT
The Associated Press
The race, date and place are
set for American Pharoah’s
next start: the Haskell
Invitational,
Aug.
2,
Monmouth
Park
in
Oceanport, New Jersey.
Perhaps the coolest part of
Thursday’s announcement
involves Bruce Springsteen
possibly performing at the
track just a few furlongs from
his hometown of Freehold.
“I want to approach Bruce
Springsteen about coming to
the track; he’s a Jersey guy,”
says Ahmed Zayat, the owner
of racing’s first Triple Crown
winner
in
37
years.
“Monmouth is a beach town,
geared to a younger crowd.
It’s a party. It’s festive. I think
there’s more spark (for the
sport) by coming here.”
Haskell
tradition
has
Springsteen’s “Born to Run”
anthem played over the sound
system as the horses enter the
track before the race. To
maybe have The Boss play
live? Nice touch.
Here are a few Springsteeninspired reasons it’s a good
thing for Triple Crown winner American Pharoah to
make his next start in the
Haskell:
———
LUCKY TOWN
Not exactly his hometown,
but American Pharoah trainer
Bob Baffert has had nothing
but good luck in Oceanport.
Not only has he won a record
seven Haskells — all since
2001 — but he won two
Breeders’ Cup races at
Monmouth Park in 2007. He
doesn’t often show up for the
Haskell, but he’ll be there for
this one. His sunglasses will
come in handy since the
beach is nearby. Owner
Ahmed Zayat also lives about
60 miles north of the track in
Teaneck. He and Baffert won
the 2012 Haskell with
Paynter. Springsteen, it
should be mentioned, has a
home — mansion — in
Rumson, about seven miles
away.
———
GLORY DAYS
With or without Bruce,
Monmouth Park is anticipating a record crowd for
American Pharoah’s show.
All 13,000 reserved seats
were sold a few weeks ago,
and the current mark stands at
53,638, when 2003 Derby
and Preakness winner Funny
Cide showed up. Track officials are planning all sorts of
concerts, contests and giveaways for the race (on a
Sunday) — and are billing the
three-day weekend “The
Pharoah Phan Phestival.”
Even NBC — not NBCSN —
is in and will televise the race
as part of its Breeders’ Cup
Challenge series. Zayat hopes
the race will attract entertainers, athletes and politicians.
Along with Springsteen, he
mentioned Jon Bon Jovi,
Kobe Bryant and New Jersey
Gov. Chris Christie. Also possible? Track officials are
reaching out to Springsteen’s
daughter Jessica, a worldclass show rider, about leading the post parade.
———
NO SURRENDER
The day after American
Pharoah won the Belmont on
June 6, Zayat pledged to keep
his Triple Crown winner racing until the end of the year.
While there are those who
think there’s nothing more to
prove on the track, and wonder
why he would risk injury (even
though Zayat has insurance),
the owner won’t surrender for
money only. “This is about the
horse and the fans,” he says. “I
want to celebrate this special
athlete. As I’ve said before,
sports without stars are not
sports. I want to enjoy him as
much as the fans do.”
———
THE PROMISED LAND
In this case, we’re talking
Coolmore’s Ashford Stud in
Versailles, Kentucky. It’s
where American Pharoah
will be retired to when his
racing career ends — after
the $5 million Breeders’ Cup
Classic at Keeneland in
Lexington, Kentucky, on
Oct. 31. It’s hopefully where
he’ll produce future champions. On the way there, the
parade stops in Jersey, then
possibly Saratoga in upstate
New York for the Travers on
Aug. 29, or the Pennsylvania
Derby at Parx Racing on
Sept. 19, or the Awesome
Again at Santa Anita on
Sept. 26. Not only is the
horse headed to a promised
land, the owner won’t be
doing too badly, either.
Zayat sold breeding rights to
his horse to Ashford Stud for
what reportedly could be in
the $30 million range and
also retains a percentage of
the horse once he’s retired.
The Buffalo Sabres have made
newly acquired forward Ryan
O’Reilly their highest-paid player by signing him to a $52.5 million, seven-year contract extension on Friday.
The Sabres announced the signing, while two people familiar
with discussions revealed the
value of the contract to The
Associated Press. The people
spoke on the condition of
anonymity because the Sabres
did not disclose the monetary
terms.
Ryan O’Reilly’s extension
kicks in after he completes the
final year of his existing contract, which will pay him $6.2
million next season. He will
make $11 million in 2016-17 of
an extension that runs through
the 2022-23 season.
The 24-year-old O’Reilly is
regarded a top-line talent and
was acquired from Colorado in a
trade that involved five players
during the first round of the NHL
draft on June 26.
The Sabres also acquired forward Jamie McGinn, while giving up forward Mikhail
Grigorenko,
JT
Compher,
defenseman Nikita Zadorov and
the 31st pick of the draft.
“It’s not easy to find a player
who, at his age, is already established in the league as someone
who plays a complete game and
makes his teammates better,”
said general manager Tim
Murray said in a team statement
about O’Reilly. “When we
acquired him, we viewed him as
someone who could immediately
improve our roster, but was still
young enough to make an impact
for several years to come. And
this contract reflects that belief.”
O’Reilly will get a chance to
play alongside rookie center Jack
Eichel, who was selected with
the second pick in the draft.
O’Reilly had 17 goals and 55
points in 80 games last season.
He also led Avalanche forwards
in averaging nearly 20 minutes
of ice time.
The sixth-year player has 90
goals and 246 points in 427
career games.
O’Reilly is a key fixture in a
rebuilding process for a Sabres
team that’s coming off consecutive last-place finishes.
He will be part of a new-look
team that added goaltender
Robin Lehner in a trade last
week. Forward Evander Kane is
preparing to make his debut with
the Sabres at the start of this season. Kane was acquired in a
trade with the Winnipeg Jets in
February, but missed the remainder of the season after having
shoulder surgery.
Buffalo made two other moves
Friday,
including
signing
O’Reilly’s older brother Cal to a
two-year contract. The Sabres
also signed free-agent defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo to a oneyear contract.
Cal O’Reilly, 28, has spent
much of his career in the minors,
and also spent two seasons playing in Russia’s Kontinental
Hockey League. The forward
spent the past two seasons playing for Utica, the Vancouver
Canucks’ AHL affiliate.
Selected in the fifth round of
the 2005 draft by Nashville,
O’Reilly has 13 goals and 41
points in 113 NHL games split
between Nashville, Phoenix and
Pittsburgh.

LOCAL AUTO RACING
Here’s your
chance to
own history
By THOMAS COUGHLIN
For The Recorder
If you would like to own a
piece of racing history, make
sure to get yourself over to the
Glen Ridge Motorsports Park
where you will have a chance at
winning the roof panel from the
Bob Savoie 5.
Family and friends will be raffling off this piece of memorabilia from the ‘The Silver
Bullet’ car that made its way
into victory lane at Glen Ridge
The tickets are $1 each or 10
for $5. All proceeds from the
ticket sales will go into the
purse for the Inaugural Bob
Savoie Memorial Dash Race to
be held at Glen Ridge on Friday,
July 10, with possibly an added
bonus for a random driver in the
regular 35 lap Cousins
Construction modified feature.
Savoie is a member of the New
York State Stock Car
Association, Hall of Fame,
which is located at the Saratoga
Automobile Museum and he
received that honor from his
contributions to auto racing
throughout the Northeast, winning races and championships at
a number of tracks.
Change is good or so the saying goes, as drivers, fans, and
Fonda promoter Matt Delorenzo
will find out tonight. Delorenzo
has made the decision to have a
trial run in moving the pit area
back into the infield. For those
of us that remember the early
days at The Track of
Champions, up until the late
90’s this was all we knew and it
was part of the excitement, as
fans were able to watch from
the grandstand as drivers and
teams prepared their cars for the
evening’s competition. I would
be the first one to admit that I
miss the old days of the pits on
the infield, but times have
changed. Teams will be required
to unload all of their gear and
equipment on the infield and
then remove their haulers to the
outside. No different than
before, but that was before
many teams had turned their
rigs into mini race shops, so it
will be interesting to see how
well this flows. Which brings up
another possible issue of traffic
flow, both on the track and in
the two pit areas, Because this is
a trial being done in the middle
of the busy racing season, it is
not mandatory that teams park
on the infield, which means that
Delorenzo will have to have
more staff on hand to keep an
eye on all that will transpire as
this will create added traffic in
the infield. But there will still be
those that will need to enter
from the outside pit. Add to this
concessions, parts, fuel, and a
pit shack and you will have a
good old-school feel to Fonda.

open wheeled cars, John Lutes

Crew members for Greg Biffle repair damage to his car after
he was involved in a wreck during a NASCAR Sprint Cup
practice session at Daytona International Speedway, Friday,
in Daytona Beach, Fla.
Kyle Busch involved
in multi-car crash
in Daytona return
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(AP) — Kyle Busch was
involved in a multi-car crash at
Daytona
International
Speedway, where he returned
Friday for the first time since
he was injured at the track in
February.
Busch, who broke his right
leg and left foot in a crash a
day before the season-opening
Daytona 500, spun nine minutes into the first practice session when he was bumped
from
behind
by
Brad
Keselowski. As Busch’s car
spun down the track, he was hit
squarely in the side by Greg
Biffle.
Those two cars then spun into
Martin Truex Jr., and the scrum
was hit by Denny Hamlin. Also
caught up in the crash was Carl
Edwards, as Joe Gibbs Racing
had three cars involved in the
crash and 10 total drivers had
to pull out their backup cars.
“Looks like (Keselowski) got
into my left rear,” Busch said.
“He got away unscathed and
trashed everybody else’s
stuff.”
Busch placed the blame
squarely on Keselowski for a
move he deemed “not very
smart.”
“All these guys at the shop
and everybody, they work way
too hard building race cars in
general to be wrecking them in
practice. There’s room to lift
(off the throttle) and sometimes people don’t,” Busch
said. “It’s his fault. He caused
it, but I’ve also been in the
same boat and caused them
before.
“It’s practice, you don’t need
to be up a guy’s left rear. I
rolled out and got out of the
gas I don’t know how many
times just to not run into the
car in front of me because it’s
not that time of the game to
go.”
Busch was sidelined the first
three months of the season
with his injuries. He returned
to his JGR team in late May,
and NASCAR said he can participate in the Chase for the
Sprint Cup championship
should he qualify for the 16driver field.
He took a big step toward that
last week by winning on the
road course in Sonoma,
California, but he still must
make the top-30 in points to be
eligible. Busch came to
Daytona ranked 37th with 10
races remaining to crack the
top 30.
Busch is 136 points out of
30th and needs to average
roughly a 14th-place finish in
each of the next 10 races to hit
his goal.
Busch ended the day — in his
backup car — 16th on the
speed chart following the second practice.
The session was led by
Danica Patrick, who posted a
lap at 198.133 mph as she
paced all of her Stewart-Haas
Racing teammates. The four
SHR drivers sat atop the leader
board, with Kurt Busch second
behind Patrick and followed by
Kevin Harvick and team coowner Tony Stewart.
“It was pretty good in the last
practice,” Patrick said.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP)
— NASCAR’s most famous race
track is seemingly safer and possibly more politically correct as
the series returned to its birthplace Friday.
Daytona
International
Speedway, in the final push of a
$400 million renovation, has
come close to covering the
speedway in energy-absorbing
SAFER barriers as track
President Joie Chitwood vowed
to do after Kyle Busch was
injured in February.
Busch, who broke his right leg
and left foot when he crashed
into a concrete wall a day before
the season-opening Daytona 500,
made his return to the speedway
Friday and promptly wrecked in
an 11-car crash minutes into the
opening practice session. His
February crash prompted safety
upgrades across NASCAR, particularly at Daytona.
Chitwood said the track
installed 4,100 feet of SAFER
barrier since Busch’s crash. The
soft walls were installed beyond
the exit of pit road, the exit of
Turn 4 at pit entrance and the
entire inside wall along the backstretch.
“With this being a high-speed
property and with all the cars
traveling close together, the feeling is we want to (be) safer
everywhere,” Chitwood said.
Chitwood had initially promised the night of Busch’s accident
to install the SAFER barriers “on
every inch of our property,” but
the speedway did not have time
to complete the project before
Sunday’s race. Chitwood said the
remaining 4,000 feet will be
installed before NASCAR
returns next year for the Daytona
500.
The track also added more than
200,000 square feet of asphalt in
four locations: inside the grass
area at Turn 1, the exit of Turn 4
and two areas at pit-in and pitout, and it realigned the wall that
Busch hit head-on. Busch was
injured when he spun late in the
race then slid through the grass
directly into a concrete wall.
Drivers can’t control their cars
when they hit the grass at a high
speed, but asphalt is easier for a
driver to regain control. Busch,
who unwittingly became the face
of a push for more SAFER barriers at all tracks, last week called
on the facilities to remove the
grassy areas around the speed-
ways. He made that request after
Ryan Briscoe’s car went airborne
when he hit the grass in Fontana,
California, during last week’s
IndyCar race.
Daytona paved more than
177,000 square feet of grass in
the Turn 1 area where Busch slid.
“From a paving perspective,
that was part of an element in the
analysis of the incident from
February in terms of the ability to
slow down or turn,” Chitwood
said. “The feeling in that area,
due to the high-speed nature and
where that accident occurred,
was that asphalt would be a better
solution for the drivers and the
ability to control the incident.”
Meanwhile, Chitwood made
Daytona the first track to distance
itself from the Confederate flag
in advance of its weekend of racing.
NASCAR chairman Brian
France last week called the flag a
symbol he finds offensive and
said he wants to be as aggressive
as possible in barring it from
sanctioned events. The series
also said it bans the flag from
official use at its events.
Chitwood then said he was
offering an exchange program in
which fans could trade a
Confederate flag for an American
flag this weekend. The flags are
available as RV’s enter the Turn 1
tunnel, but Chitwood said Friday
he was not aware of any swaps
occurring yet. This weekend’s
races are the first in the South
since the mid-June attack that left
nine black churchgoers dead in
Charleston, South Carolina. The
suspect
had
embraced
Confederate symbols, including
the battle flag.
There were a handful of
Confederate flags flying in the
infield Friday, the opening day of
practice at Daytona. NASCAR’s
roots are in the deep South and
the series hosts 18 Sprint Cup
races in Alabama, Florida,
Georgia,
North
Carolina,
Tennessee, South Carolina, Texas
and Virginia.
“I think the voluntary exchange
program for us right now was
appropriate with the limited window that we had coming into this
event weekend,” Chitwood said.
“And more importantly, I think
it’s important to trust our fans,
asking our fans to display a flag
that we should all be proud of.
Everybody should be proud of
the American flag.”

Vegas, Langley shared second round lead at Greenbrier
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va.
(AP) — Jhonattan Vegas hasn’t had much
success since winning his second PGA Tour
event as a rookie in 2011. The Greenbrier
Classic could give him that needed boost.
Vegas shot a 5-under-par 65 to tie Scott
Langley for the lead after the second round
Friday. They were at 9-under 131 on the
Old White TPC course in West Virginia.
Twenty-three golfers were within three
shots of the lead, including seven at 8 under.
Vegas doesn’t have a top 10 finish this
season, but he’s looking to change that. He
made five birdies during a bogey-free
round Friday, including two of his final
three holes.
“I feel like I’m playing great, I just
haven’t been able to put it all together,” the
Venezuelan said. “But I’m staying patient
and working really hard to make it happen,
and it’s coming together.”
Langley didn’t have the same birdie
explosion as he enjoyed in the first round,
when he shot 62 to take the lead.
Starting his round on the back nine,
Langley made back-to-back birdies on
Nos. 6 and 7 and shot 69.
“Following up a round of 62 is never
super easy,” Langley said. “I left a lot of
putts within 6 inches of the hole, just right
in the heart. I need to be a little more
assertive (Saturday) on the greens.”
Langley and Vegas had a chance to make
noise last week at the Travelers
Championship. Langley was four strokes
behind eventual winner Bubba Watson
entering weekend play, while Vegas was
six shots back.
Both faded in the final two rounds.
The top four finishers at The Greenbrier not
previously eligible for the British Open will
earn spots next week at St. Andrews, provided they are among the top 12 and ties.
“That’s one of the goals for the week,”
Vegas said. “So we’re going to try to go
get it.”

Mavs, DeAndre Jordan
agree to four-year deal
By SCHUYLER DIXON
The Associated Press
DALLAS — DeAndre Jordan
has chosen the Mavericks over
the Los Angeles Clippers in what
turned into a tense boom-or-bust
wait for Dallas in pursuit of the
free-agent center.
Two people familiar with the
deal tell The Associated Press
that the NBA rebound leader
agreed to terms Friday. One said
the deal was worth $80 million
over four years. The people
spoke on condition of anonymity
because no deals can be completed and signed until Thursday.
This is the biggest free-agent
pickup in Mark Cuban’s 15 years
as Dallas owner, after three
straight summers of losing out on
the big names. The deal comes
two days after the Mavericks lost
their backup plan when last season’s starter, Tyson Chandler,
bolted for Phoenix.
The last of Jordan’s four meetings was with the Clippers. But
coach Doc Rivers couldn’t persuade the Texas native to stick
with Chris Paul, Blake Griffin
and the franchise that drafted him
seven years ago.
Jordan, who turns 27 this
month, led the NBA in rebounding the past two seasons and is
coming off career-best averages
of 11.5 points and 15.0 rebounds.
Since the Clippers drafted the
Texas A&M star with the 35th
overall pick in 2008, Jordan has
averaged 8.0 points and 9.0
rebounds.
The 6-foot-11 Houston native
figures to have a more prominent
role in Dallas after being mostly
an alley-oop and second-chance
option behind Paul and Griffin in
Los Angeles.
His best season helped the
Clippers get within a victory of
their first trip to the Western
Conference finals. But Los
Angeles collapsed in the second
half of a Game 6 loss at home
with a chance to close out
Houston and dropped the deciding game on the road.
Now Jordan’s job will be to get
the Mavericks out of the first
round for the first time since they
won the franchise’s only championship in 2011.
The first step to landing Jordan
might have come late Thursday
when shooting guard Wesley
Matthews agreed to a four-year
contract with terms that were
going to depend on whether
Jordan decided to join the former
Portland player in Dallas.
Before Matthews’ commitment,
the only starters returning for the
Mavericks were 37-year-old star
Dirk Nowitzki, going into his
18th season and no longer the top
AP Source: Knicks agree to
deal with center Robin Lopez
NEW YORK (AP) —
Robin Lopez is joining
the Knicks, turning New
York’s NBA rivalry into a
family affair.
Lopez agreed to sign
with the Knicks on
Friday, a person with
knowledge of the details
said, and will play just
across town from twin
brother and Brooklyn
Nets center, Brook.
Robin Lopez will leave
the Portland Trail Blazers
to fill the open spot in the
middle for the Knicks, the
person told The
Associated Press on condition of anonymity
because contracts can’t
yet be signed. Yahoo
Sports reported Lopez
would receive a four-year
deal worth $54 million.
Lopez wrote on Twitter
that he was “excited to
part of the (hash) Knicks
legacy,” adding that it
would be like the musical
“On the Town” only with
“way more box outs &
dunks.”
The Knicks have been
seeking a center since
scoring option, and forward
Chandler Parsons.
The 26-year-old Parsons was
the closest thing Dallas had to a
young building block after the
failed December trade with
Boston for point guard Rajon
Rondo, who clashed with coach
Rick Carlisle and was banished
two games into a first-round
playoff loss to Houston. Rondo is
a free agent.
The Mavericks also let shooting
guard Monta Ellis go to Indiana
after he led them in scoring —
the first player other than
Nowitzki to do that since 2000.
Dallas didn’t contact Ellis in free
agency, and he agreed to a fouryear, $44 million deal with
Indiana on Thursday.
Parsons promised to be the primary recruiter in free agency the
day after losing to his former
team in a five-game series. He
missed all but the first game
because of a right knee injury
that required surgery after the
season.
And Parsons followed through,
dining with Jordan frequently in
the days before free agency
opened. That included an
impromptu dinner along with
Cuban and president of basket-
trading Tyson Chandler
last summer. They had
also spoken to DeAndre
Jordan and Greg Monroe
before those players
chose to go elsewhere.
Robin Lopez’s decision
comes just days after
Brook Lopez agreed to
stay with the Nets for a
reported $60 million over
three years.
Unlike his brother, Robin
Lopez is limited offensively but is a solid defensive
player. He has averaged
8.2 points and 5.0
rebounds in his career,
which includes four years
in Phoenix and a stop in
New Orleans before two
seasons with Portland.
He becomes the second
player to leave the
Blazers for the Knicks
this summer. Arron
Afflalo agreed to a $16
million, two-year deal on
Thursday. The Knicks
came into the summer
with more than $25 million to spend and have
enough left to keep looking for more help on the
free-agent market.
ball operations Donnie Nelson
late Tuesday night in Los
Angeles, and another long meeting Wednesday.
Ultimately, the Mavericks succeeded with Jordan where they
failed with the likes of Deron
Williams, Dwight Howard and
Carmelo Anthony over the past
three summers. All were targets,
some more realistic than others,
after Cuban chose salary-cap
space over keeping key pieces of
his championship team.
Chandler was among those who
didn’t return four years ago, signing a four-year deal with the New
York Knicks. He returned in a
trade for the final year of that
contract, but is leaving again on
another four-year deal with the
Suns after the Mavericks decided
to pursue Jordan first.
The loss of Jordan, who also
met with the Lakers and Knicks,
leaves the Clippers looking for a
center. Jordan’s backup, Glen
Davis, also is a free agent.
Had Chandler not agreed on his
four-year, $52 million deal with
the Suns, the Clippers could have
pursued a sign-and-trade agreement with Dallas involving the 7footer who went to high school in
the Los Angeles area.

Woods shot 69 Friday and was at 5 under,

Woods had more trouble reaching fairways on Friday. He found the water to the
right on the par-5 17th for the second
straight day, hit his golf bag with his driver in disgust, then nearly holed his 97-yard
fourth shot and made par.
He salvaged his under-par round with a
short birdie putt on the par-3 18th. He
declined interviews afterward.
Langley is looking to become the third
person to become a first-time PGA Tour
winner by winning The Greenbrier in the
tournament’s six-year history.

Kings agree to deal
with Rondo, Belinelli
By ANTONIO GONZALEZ
The Associated Press
After missing targets at the
start of free agency, the
Sacramento Kings finally
filled out their backcourt
Friday.
The Kings reached agreements with point guard Rajon
Rondo and shooting guard
Marco Belinelli, securing the
two positions the team coveted
most this summer.
Rondo’s deal is for one year
and $10 million, a person with
direct knowledge of the agreement said. Belinelli’s contract
is for $19 million and three
years, a second person familiar
with that deal said.
The people spoke to The
Associated Press on condition
of anonymity because contracts can’t be completed until
the moratorium on free agency
ends Thursday.
Belinelli and the Kings
reached an agreement in the
morning while the team was
meeting with Rondo in
Sacramento. A few hours later,
Rondo decided to join him in
California’s capital city.
Rondo is trying to recover
from a brief but tumultuous
tenure in Dallas. He was
benched several times by
Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle
after coming over in a
December trade from Boston,
where he helped the Celtics
win the 2008 title and return to
the NBA Finals in 2010.
Rondo sat out the final three
games in Dallas’ first-round
loss to Houston with what the
team called a back injury —
though he had already been
benched by Carlisle again in
the Game 2 loss. That ended a
saga that started when Dallas
dealt for Rondo hoping he’d
boost
its
championship
chances.
Instead, Dallas ended up with
a bad fit for an offense that
regressed after being among
the league’s best at the time of
the trade. Rondo also missed
six games because of a broken
bone near his left eye.
Rondo was a four-time AllStar with the Celtics, who were
led by Kevin Garnett, Ray
Allen and Paul Pierce when
they won the 2008 title under
coach Doc Rivers. But he hasn’t been the same since missing large parts of two seasons
because of a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right
knee.
Rondo is averaging 10.8
points, 8.3 assists and 3.6
rebounds in nine seasons.
He was courted hard by
Kings forward and friend
Rudy Gay. He opted for a oneyear deal to prove he can still
play at an All-Star level before
the salary cap is expected to
rise dramatically next summer
when the NBA’s new television deal kicks in.
It’s still somewhat murky
what Rondo’s addition means
for point guard Darren
Collison, who signed a threeyear, $16 million deal with the
Kings last summer. Collison
played well until missing the
final 33 games with a core
muscle injury that required
surgery.
The person with knowledge
of Rondo’s deal said to expect
Collison and Rondo to share
the backcourt most of the time.
Belinelli gives the Kings the
shooting guard they’ve been
searching for to stretch the
floor for All-Star center
DeMarcus Cousins. Wesley
Matthews, who is coming off a
ruptured Achilles tendon with
Portland,
turned
down
Sacramento’s $64 million,
four-year offer Thursday to
accept a deal with Dallas.

Serena Williams battles back
to beat Watson at Wimbledon
The Associated Press
United States’ Abby Wambach celebrates her goal against
Nigeria during the first half of a FIFA Women’s World Cup soccer match last month in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Wambach says she
just wants to win
her last World Cup
VANCOUVER,
British
Columbia. (AP) — With the
title match looming, Abby
Wambach isn’t mincing words.
“All I care about is winning
this World Cup,” she said.
The star U.S. forward is playing in her fourth Women’s
World Cup, and she says it will
be her last. A victory Sunday in
the final against Japan would
be the perfect ending to her
World Cup career.
It would also solidify a legacy. Wambach, who has been on
the national team for 15 years,
has scored 183 goals, more
than any other player, male or
female, in the world. Of those,
77 have come on headers.
She was the 2012 FIFA
Women’s World Player of the
Year, the game’s highest honor.
And she has two Olympic gold
medals.
What she doesn’t have is a
World Cup title.
“For this being her last one, I
will do whatever it takes to get
the job done,” vowed midfielder Carli Lloyd, who leads the
Americans with three goals.
The 35-year old Wambach
has seen her role change at this
World Cup. She isn’t starting
every match, at times coming
in off the bench. She has just
one goal so far in the monthlong event, the lone goal in a 10 victory over Nigeria in the
group stage.
The United States, ranked No.
2 in the world, finished atop its
group in Canada before victories
over Colombia and China set up
a thrilling 2-0 semifinal victory
over top-ranked Germany on
Tuesday night.
The final Sunday against
Japan at Vancouver’s BC Place
is a rematch of the 2011 championship match in Germany,
when the United States fell on
penalty kicks after a 2-2 draw.
So far it’s been an eventful
tournament for Wambach.
She’s started three matches and
come off the bench for three.
She hadn’t played as a substitute in a World Cup match
since her first tournament
appearance in 2003.
Coming in as a sub in a 0-0
draw with Sweden during the
group stage, she gave the
Americans one of their best
scoring chances, a header that
goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl
popped up and over the crossbar.
Wambach later said if the
tournament hadn’t been staged
on artificial turf, she would
have scored there.
Wambach led the way last year
when a group of players filed a
legal claim in Canada saying that
the artificial turf amounted to
gender discrimination because
the men’s event would never be
staged on fake grass.
FIFA wouldn’t bend on the
issue. Canada’s bid in 2011, the
only bid for this year’s event,
stipulated the tournament be
played on an artificial surface.
The players who filed the claim
eventually dropped it so they
could focus on preparation for
the competition.
Wambach also caused a stir
following the U.S. team’s 2-0
victory over Colombia to open
the knockout stage.
During the match, U.S. midfielders Megan Rapinoe and
Lauren Holiday were issued
yellow cards. Because both had
yellows from previous matches
at the tournament, both had to
sit out the quarterfinal against
China.
After the Colombia game,
Wambach was asked whether
the yellow cards were
deserved.
“I don’t know if they were
yellows,” she said. “It seemed
like she (the referee) was purposefully giving those yellows
to maybe players that she knew
were sitting on yellows. I don’t
know if that was just a psychological thing, who knows?
LONDON (AP) — Pushed to
the absolute limit, Serena
Williams once again found a way
to win.
Down 3-0 and 5-4 in the third
set, twice within two points of
defeat, Williams dug deep and
overcame Britain’s Heather
Watson 6-2, 4-6, 7-5 on Centre
Court at Wimbledon on Friday to
keep alive her bid for a fourth
straight major title and the third
leg of a calendar-year Grand
Slam.
Next up for the five-time champion: a fourth-round matchup
with sister Venus.
Top-ranked Serena looked on
the ropes after losing six games
in a row and going two breaks
down in the third set. But, just as
she has done so many times
before, she refused to lose.
Williams ran off four games in a
row as she battled back, and
broke Watson in the 12th game to
win on her third match point and
extend her Grand Slam winning
streak to 24 matches.
“I’ve had some tough losses,
but that was probably my toughest match I’ve played (on Centre
Court),” Williams said. “Heather
playing in front of her home
crowd ... I think she played unbelievable. She should have won
the match at this point, she was
up two breaks and she just really
gave her all.”
The 59th-ranked Watson, lifted
throughout the match by a raucous partisan crowd, played the
match of her life but fell short of
becoming the first British woman
to beat a No. 1 since Sue Barker
defeated Chris Evert in Boston in
1979.
“It was super, super close, and
that’s what hurts the most,”
Watson said.
Venus Williams, also a fivetime champion, made it to the
fourth round for the first time
since 2011 by beating Aleksandra
Krunic of Serbia 6-3, 6-2.
That sets up the 26th career
meeting between the sisters —
and the first at a Grand Slam
since Serena won in the 2009
Wimbledon final. Overall, Serena
leads 14-11.
“She’s in better form than I
am,” Serena said of her older sister, “so I think she has a little bit
of an advantage going into that
match. But at least one of us will
be in the quarterfinals, so that’ll
be good.”
Serena, who lost in the third
round here last year, has won the
U.S. Open, Australian Open and
the French Open since then. A
Wimbledon win would give her
another “Serena Slam” — four
straight majors. Then, all that
would be left would be the U.S.
Open to complete the first calendar-year Slam since Steffi Graf in
1988.
Williams’ match with Watson,
played in windy conditions, had
big swings in momentum.
From 4-3 down in the second
set, Watson ran off six straight
games to go up 3-0 in the third.
Then Williams began her comeback by breaking Watson in a
game that lasted 11 minutes.
Watson was twice within one
point of going up 4-0, but
Williams eventually converted on
the sixth break point.
Williams was erratic throughout
the match and finished with 33
unforced errors, to go with 53
winners. Watson had only 11
unforced errors, with 20 winners.

A-Rod, Yanks settle dispute, he gets ball from 3,000th hit
NEW YORK (AP) — Alex
Rodriguez and the Yankees settled
their dispute over a marketing
payment with a deal announced
Friday that gives $3.5 million to
charitable groups, saves the team
$5.5 million and gets A-Rod the
home run ball from his 3,000th
hit.
At the time Rodriguez and the
Yankees signed their $275 million, 10-year contract in
December 2007, they reached a
separate marketing agreement. It
called for $6 million each for up to
five milestone accomplishments
in exchange for marketing rights,
such as using A-Rod’s name and
image in selling licensed goods.
The first was to be for A-Rod’s
660th home run, tying Willie
Mays for fourth on the career list.
“I’m very happy, not only for
what happened here with 3,000,
but obviously with the big news of
the day, which we all heard
about,” Rodriguez said Friday.
“It’s been a good day.”
McCann lifts Yanks with walk-off homer
NEW YORK (AP) — Brain McCann hit a three-run homer
in the 12th inning, rallying the New York Yankees for a
second time Friday night and giving them a 7-5 victory
over the Tampa Bay Rays.
Mark Teixeira hit a tying three-run homer in the eighth
against Kevin Jepsen, then had an RBI single in the 12th
off Steve Geltz (1-4) just as fireworks began shooting off
behind the scoreboard in right field.
Brett Gardner led off the 12th with a walk from Steve
Geltz (1-4). One out later, Alex Rodriguez and Teixeira hit
consecutive singles, and McCann homered into the rightfield stands for New York’s first walk-off win since Derek
Jeter’s final home game in September.
Tampa Bay lost its sixth in a row, and second straight in
extra innings.
Chasen Shreve (6-1) walked two and gave up two hits
and a run in the 12th but got a key inning-ending double
play.
The club’s relationship with
Rodriguez deteriorated during
2013, when he was a target of
Major
League
Baseball’s
Biogenesis drug investigation.
That led to A-Rod’s suspension
for the entire 2014 season after
then-Commissioner Bud Selig
concluded he violated the sport’s
drug agreement and labor contract. Rodriguez sued MLB, the
players’ union and the Yankees’
team physician, then dropped the
litigation.
When the 39-year-old hit No.
660 on May 1, New York said it
had the discretion not to make
the payment and declined to do
so, saying his marketing rights
did not have any worth. MLB
and the players’ association
stopped the clock on the time to
file a grievance as negotiations
continued.
“This has been quite a year,”
Rodriguez said. “Never did I think
12 months ago I would be in a
position with 660 and 3,000, with
two swings of the bat, to be able to
influence so many people, kids,
that are in need.”
Under the deal, the Yankees will
split $1 million among the Special

and Pitch In For Baseball.

worked a 2-2 count before lining a breaking
ball past the outstretched glove of Glens
Falls first baseman Jake Vieth to set off the
celebration in front of a packed Fireworks
Night crowd at Shuttleworth.
“It was really a good game. Really well,
well played,” Mohawks head coach Keith
Griffin said. “It was a good win. I thought
our guys played hard. ... It’s good to see us
fight back and get a win.”
The Mohawks’ third walk-off win — and
second against the Dragons — this season
ended a string of bad luck against Glens
Falls. Amsterdam lost twice in the last week
to Glens Falls, including a 10-inning walkoff loss Saturday at East Field, and Friday’s
win helped Amsterdam push its division
lead back to six games.
“They’re a good team, they got us the last
couple times we played them,” Manea said.
“We just wanted to come out, ready to go
and beat them. That’s what we ended up
doing.”
Amsterdam played from behind for most
of the game after starting pitcher Fernando
Guerrero allowed two runs in a bizarre first
inning. Two hit batters and a single by Vieth
loaded the bases with one out, but Guerrero
induced a grounder from Tyler Phillips that
looked to be a tailor-made double play —
until it struck the umpire before it got to
Freedman at shortstop. Phillips was awarded a single, with Mark Powell scoring on the
play. Two batters later, Brennan Price
walked with the bases loaded to force in
another run.
The Mohawks got a run back on
Handsome Monica’s sacrifice fly in the
fourth off Glens Falls starter Sam Steeves.
Guerrero only allowed one more run, when
Price singled off the wall in left to score
Phillips in the sixth.
Dedelow’s two-run single in the bottom of
the sixth tied the game, and three
Amsterdam relievers — Joe Nellis, Joe
Randall and Kyle Smith — weaved their
way in and out of trouble to keep the
Dragons off the board over the final three
innings. Smith earned the win, striking out
two in a scoreless top of the 10th.
“It was outstanding,” Griffin said of his
team’s pitching performance after the rocky
first inning.
Amsterdam scuffled through the late
innings at the plate, but seemed to have a
rally going in the ninth when Monica singled with one out and Dedelow was hit by a
pitch — but he was ruled to have leaned into
the ball and was called back to the plate.
Dedelow struck out, and was tossed for his
protestations. Gage West grounded into a
fielder’s choice to send the game to extra
innings.
After the team’s third straight win, the
Mohawks are off for the Fourth of July
today before returning to action Sunday at
Shuttleworth against the Newark Pilots to
cap off ParkFest. First pitch is scheduled for
6:35 p.m.
“It’s a good crowd,” Griffin said. “Just
come out and watch us play. It’s good baseball and these guys are getting better.”

All-Star
from page 32
on the fan ballot, but has spent the
vast majority of his time at DH,
where he appeared on the players’
ballot. That discrepancy is significant because it could end up
squeezing
the
39-year-old
Rodriguez out of a roster spot. ARod receives one here as a Yankees
bat off the bench after sitting out
last season while serving his drug
suspension.
STARTING PITCHERS —
Houston lefty Dallas Keuchel takes
starting honors and is joined by
southpaws Chris Sale (Chicago)
and David Price (Detroit). The
right-handers are Oakland’s Sonny
Gray, Tampa Bay’s Chris Archer,
Seattle’s Felix Hernandez and
Texas’ Yovani Gallardo.
RELIEVERS — An eclectic mix
of closers and setup men includes
left-handers
Glen
Perkins
(Minnesota) and Zach Britton
(Baltimore), and righties Wade
Davis (Kansas City), Dellin
Betances (New York), Will Harris
(Houston) and Darren O’Day
(Baltimore).

NATIONAL LEAGUE
FIRST
BASE
—
Paul
Goldschmidt. More like, Paul
Bunyan
in
an
Arizona
Diamondbacks uniform. Also
making the cut at a power-packed
position: Chicago’s Anthony
Rizzo, Los Angeles slugger Adrian
Gonzalez and Cincinnati’s Joey
Votto, a sensible starter at DH in his
own ballpark.
SECOND BASE — Leading off,
Miami speedster Dee Gordon. San
Francisco sophomore Joe Panik is
second string, but St. Louis youngster Kolten Wong was difficult to
deny.
SHORTSTOP — The surprise
starter is underrated Brandon
Crawford from the Giants, a winning player enjoying a breakout
season with the bat. Behind him is
Jhonny Peralta of the major leagueleading Cardinals.
THIRD BASE — With the game
on his home field, Todd Frazier
from the Reds gets a slight nod
over Nolan Arenado and his dazzling Gold Glove defense for the
Rockies. Cubs rookie Kris Bryant
gets his first taste, too.
CATCHER — Buster Posey is an
easy choice in San Francisco. The
unexpected backup is San Diego
newcomer Derek Norris over St.
Louis sage Yadier Molina.
OUTFIELD — Washington phenom Bryce Harper is the first-half
MVP. He starts in right, with
Pittsburgh’s Andrew McCutchen in
center and San Diego’s Justin
Upton in left. The bench includes
Arizona center fielder A.J. Pollock,
Dodgers rookie Joc Pederson and
Milwaukee bopper Ryan Braun.
STARTING PITCHERS — The
league is so loaded on the mound
we took 15 pitchers — and still had
to leave out big names with worthy
numbers. Max Scherzer gets the
ball in his first season with
Washington, two years after starting for the AL with Detroit. He
barely nips Zack Greinke (Los
Angeles), while the other righthanders
are
Gerrit
Cole
(Pittsburgh), Michael Wacha (St.
Louis), Shelby Miller (Atlanta),
Jacob deGrom (New York) and
Burnett (Pittsburgh), who makes
his first All-Star team at age 38.
The lefties are Clayton Kershaw
(Los
Angeles),
Madison
Bumgarner (San Francisco) and
Cole Hamels (Philadelphia).
RELIEVERS — An imposing
crop of closers features St. Louis’
Trevor Rosenthal, Milwaukee’s
Francisco Rodriguez, New York’s
Jeurys Familia and Pittsburgh’s
Mark Melancon from the right
side.
Cincinnati’s
Aroldis
Chapman fires from the left.

Picking an All-Star
team a tricky puzzle
By MIKE FITZPATRICK
The Associated Press
Alex Cooper/Recorder staff
Amsterdam Mohawks designated hitter Scott Manea high fives teammates after he hit a walk-off single
with the bases loaded to win Friday’s game against the Glens Falls Dragons at Shuttleworth Park.
Battling back
Manea’s single lifts Mohawks in 10th
By ADAM SHINDER
@RecorderShinder
Fate — and some odd moments involving the
umpiring crew — seemed to be working against the
Amsterdam Mohawks during Friday night’s game
against the Glens Falls Dragons at Shuttleworth Park.
Scott Manea thought otherwise.
In a game that saw the Mohawks give up two early
runs thanks to a ball that hit the base umpire and
later have outfielder Craig Dedelow ejected for
arguing with the home plate umpire after being
brought back to the batter’s box after being hit by a
pitch, Manea erased any stain of controversy by lining a Matt Stojkov curveball into right field for a
single that scored Riley Mahan with the winning
run in the bottom of the 10th inning as the
Mohawks rallied for a 4-3 walk-off victory over
their closest rival in the Perfect Game Collegiate
Baseball League East Division.
“It was a great feeling. We fought really hard
every inning today, and it was a great team win,”
Manea said. “You’ve got to just put the umps
behind you, play the game and let your playing do
the work.”
With the game tied 3-3 since Dedelow’s two-run
single in the sixth inning and with both teams having squandered chances to take the lead, the
Mohawks (20-6) finally took advantage when

NEW YORK (AP) — Anyone
still ranting about the online election that put five Kansas City
Royals in position to start the AllStar Game, the following is for
you.
Our picks for the July 14 showcase in Cincinnati — without any
regard to fan or player balloting.
We’ll abide by MLB roster
rules: 34 spots in each league, at
least 13 going to pitchers. And all
30 clubs must be represented.
It makes for a tricky puzzle and
triggers plenty of criticism every
summer when the selections are
announced.
“At times you go, ‘come on,’
because you do hear about the
snubs more than the guys who
make it. But you’re trying to do
what’s right,” said San Francisco
Giants skipper Bruce Bochy,
preparing to manage the National
League for the fourth time.
One fun theme this year: older
players turning back the clock.
From Albert Pujols and A.J.
Burnett to Alex Rodriguez and
Mark Teixeira, several stalwarts
on the elder side of 35 are bidding for their first All-Star berth
in years.
The deadline for fans to vote
online was midnight Thursday,
and the starters they chose will be
disclosed Sunday. Pitchers and
reserves get revealed the next
night.
Here we go:
———
AMERICAN LEAGUE
FIRST BASE — Detroit bopper
Miguel Cabrera is backed up by a
pair of 35-year-olds in Pujols
(Angels) and Teixeira (Yankees).
SECOND BASE — Cleveland’s
Jason Kipnis is quietly having a
huge season. Behind him are
Minnesota’s Brian Dozier and
Houston batting champ Jose
Altuve.
SHORTSTOP — Flashy fielder
Jose Iglesias was hitting over .320
for the Tigers. Xander Bogaerts
represents the last-place Red Sox.
THIRD BASE — Josh
Donaldson earns his second consecutive start, this time for Toronto
after a trade from Oakland. On the
bench are the M&M boys:
Baltimore’s Manny Machado and
Kansas City’s Mike Moustakas.
CATCHER — Stephen Vogt has
been a big surprise in Oakland. He
gets the start over Blue Jays newcomer Russell Martin.
OUTFIELD — Reigning MVP
Mike Trout starts in center, with
Toronto’s Jose Bautista in right and
Seattle’s Nelson Cruz in left. Cruz
was running first in fan balloting at
DH, but has played most of his
games in the outfield. The reserves
are Kansas City’s Lorenzo Cain,
New York’s Brett Gardner and
Detroit’s J.D. Martinez.
DESIGNATED HITTER — A
healthy Prince Fielder is having
quite a comeback season in
Texas. He was listed at first base
