OFA budget increase
will enable them
to feed more seniors
By EMILY DREW
Recorder News Staff
Thanks to an increase in
Montgomery County’s 2016
budget, more senior citizens
around the county will be receiving home-delivered meals.
In this year’s county budget, the
OFA received $247,000, an
increase over the $220,000 it has
been awarded for the past several
years, marking the not-for-profit’s first significant budgetary
increase since 2009. With the
extra funding, the OFA will be
able to take approximately 10 to
15 seniors off of its Meals of
Montgomery wait list.
The Meals of Montgomery program serves seniors 60 years old
and over who have difficulty getting around. According to county
officials, providing one senior a
meal for five days a week all year
costs about $2,000.
“We’re obviously very happy
about it. It’s something that we
had requested at budget time this
year. The (Montgomery County)
Legislature was actually really
receptive to it,” OFA Executive
Director David Jordan said.
Montgomery County Executive
Matthew Ossenfort said the
budget increase had been previously discussed between Jordan
and the County Legislature.
“I’m certainly happy that the
county could take action that
would result in 10 to 15 more

PILOT for Rama
By EMILY DREW
Recorder News Staff
HAGAMAN — Uncertainty
over a 10-year tax program had
village residents hesitant at first,
but they changed their tune about
a month later and largely
expressed support for Rama Real
Properties moving into the former Amsterdam Family YMCA
building.
During a public hearing
Wednesday held by the village
Zoning Board of Appeals, residents said they supported Rama

seniors being able to get on the
meals on wheels program. That’s
fantastic. It’s a good step forward,” Ossenfort said.
Jordan said the extra $27,000
will help reduce the Meals on
Wheels waitlist, which has
reached more than 100 seniors in
the past and has recently been
slowly shrinking. At last count,
Jordan said there are 78 seniors
on the waitlist.
“Ever since I’ve been with the
agency, over three years, it’s been
well over 100. At one point, it
was 165, I believe. It’s not good
that we even have anybody on it,
but it was very nice to hear the
legislature supported us and
understood and knew our plight
and knew we were going to used
the funds in the right way to help
people,” Jordan said.
Meals on Wheels is the most
requested service in the OFA and
serves about 200 seniors a day,
according to Jordan.
Seniors are typically provided
with a noontime meal five days a
week. The OFA provides weekend meals for seniors who do not
have the resources to provide for
those two days themselves.
Jordan said it was gratifying to
be able to tell more seniors this
year they would be taken off of
the waitlist.
“Anytime we can add people and

GASD sees slight decline in
graduation and dropout rates
By JOHN PURCELL
Recorder News Staff
Greater Amsterdam School District had a slight
decline in the percentage of students graduating last
school year, but there was also a similar decline in
the percentage of kids dropping out.
Nearly two-thirds of the students who entered
Greater Amsterdam High School in 2011 graduated
four years later, according to a report released
Monday by the State Department of Education. The
overall graduation rates decreased from 66 percent
in 2014 to 64 percent in 2015, but during the same
period the percentage of students dropping out of
school decreased from 17 percent to 14 percent.
The graduation rate does not include students who
attend summer school and complete their credits to
receive a high school diploma.
Superintendent of Schools Thomas Perillo credited a reduction in the percentage of dropouts to
offering a more robust experience for students,
along with installing academic support services.
“We’re offering a lot more activities and incentives for students now and we have a lot more clubs
and activities,” Perillo said. “We’re trying to make
education really attractive for our students. I believe
we’re doing a good job getting the students to come
to school and get actively engaged in the programs
they are in.”
Michele Downing, director of Data and Personnel
for GASD, said while there may have been a dip
last year in the district’s graduation rate there has
been a gradual rise over the last seven years of students graduating after four years. In 2008, 58 percent of students graduated on time.
Downing said district leaders were hoping the
graduation rate would continue to gradually

The Greater Amsterdam School District is set to host the Hudson
Valley FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Qualifying Tournament at
Amsterdam High School on Saturday, Jan. 16.
Eighteen teams from around the region – including Albany, Ballston
Spa, Broadalbin, Clifton Park and Duanesburg – will participate for
the opportunity to advance to the upcoming championship tournament
at Dutchess Community College on Feb. 27.
“FIRST LEGO League tournaments give students the opportunity to
immerse themselves in science and technology as they connect with peers
in a fun and interesting way,” Superintendent Thomas F. Perillo said. “In
preparing for the tournament, students learn about communication and
teamwork as they are exposed to technical education. They learn skills
that will develop them into the problem solvers and leaders of the future.”
This year’s FLL challenge, Trash Trek, requires students to design a
LEGO robot that can be programmed to operate independently on the
competition table and accomplish several waste management-related
tasks. The teams are then judged based on the robot’s performance,
design, core values and on a project that asks them to redesign how
people manage their waste.
Congressman Paul Tonko and Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara
will be in attendance.

not have to tell them you’re going to be put on a waitlist, it’s always a
good thing. Seniors always appreciate when you call them and they’ve
been on a waitlist and say, we’re going to start delivering the meal
tomorrow,” he said.
The program is also one that receives the most funding and helps
seniors stay at home longer.
“It’s the one that receives the most funding as well because it reaches the most people and, to be honest, it’s economical in being able to
keep somebody home for a little over $2,000 as opposed to going to a
nursing home, which could be $7,000 to $10,000 a month,” Jordan
said.
“And the seniors want to be home. Who wouldn’t want to stay in
their own home as long as they can?” he added.
Jordan also said the OFA would be conducting another fundraiser
this year as it did last year with its “40 for 40” campaign. This year’s
event will concentrate on getting the rest of the $50,000 mortgage for
the OFA’s kitchen, about 17 years old, paid off. That would free the
funds to help more seniors.
Ossenfort, however, said there is still more to do to care for the county’s seniors. The extra funds, while a good step to provide more seniors with meals, does not cover all that is needed to care for
Montgomery County’s senior population, he said.
“I think there’s a lot of work to be done there. The needs of an aging
population in Montgomery County are quite dramatic. I know the
OFA has been making great steps forward strengthening not only the
OFA, but the foundation, especially with the fundraising efforts last
year, but there is a lot of work to do with a population that a significant portion are senior citizens,” he said.
According to county officials, Montgomery County has the third
largest rate of adults over 60 years old or older in New York and the
second highest of a 60 years old or older population living at or below
the poverty level.
“The OFA has a whole host of issues that could benefit from additional resources and trying to do the best you can with what you have
is the challenge before all of us,” Ossenfort added.

increase last year, but there were
subgroup areas administrators were
pleased to see increasing.
“The graduation rate may have
dipped a couple of percentages,”
Perillo said, “but when you look at
the subgroups and dropout rate
there are a lot of positives in here,
so I think we are going in the right
direction.”
The percentage of Hispanic or
Latino students dropping out of
school decreased from 29 percent
to 17 percent and the percentage
graduating on time increased from
48 percent to 51 percent.
The percentage of students with
disabilities graduating on-time
declined from 38 percent to 32 percent, but the dropout rate for this
group declined from 32 percent to
23 percent.
“A lot of our students with disabilities and some of our other students they’re are on a five-year program as well,” Perillo said.
Approximately three-quarters of
students that were not economical-
YMCA
LOCAL
ly disadvantaged graduated on time
at GASD, while only half of economically disadvantaged students
graduated. Similarly, the dropout
rate is greater for economically disadvantaged students at 19 percent
compared to 10 percent of those not
facing economic difficulties.
“Students who are coming from
homes that are struggling are starting off initially without having the
experiences that the others are having,” Downing said. “This is
indicative of what is going on with
our students that are economically
disadvantaged.”
The graduation rate statewide
increased to 78.1 percent, up 1.7
percentage points from 2014 to
2015. Nearly 7 percent of students
statewide dropped out of high
school and of those students, 62
percent were Black or Hispanic, 64
percent came from economically
disadvantaged homes, and 58 percent were male.
State Education Department officials proposed providing more
pathways for the state’s diverse students population, which would
have to be approved by the Board
of Regents.
State proposals include widening
the score range for any students
who wish to appeal their Regents
exam result, establishing a graduation pathway in career development
and occupational studies, and creating a project-based assessment for
students who pass coursework
required for a diploma but do not
passed required Regents exams.
“Students should have more ways
to earn a diploma and realize those
opportunities — especially children
from communities where those
opportunities too often remain
dreams instead of becoming reality,” State Education Commissioner
MaryEllen Elia said in a news
release. “This is not about changing
our standard. It’s about providing
other avenues for kids to show what
they know so they can graduate.”

STATE NEWS IN BRIEF
State settles with 96 health club operators
ALBANY (AP) — New York’s attorney general has reached settlements with 96 health club operators who have agreed to modify their
contracts and pay penalties and fines for violations of state law.
According to the attorney general’s office, investigators found widespread violations including failures to make required disclosures to customers and inclusion of unenforceable contract releases and liability
waivers.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says January is the top month for
joining health clubs, and consumers need to pay attention to what they
sign.
New York law prohibits health club contracts costing more than
$3,600 a year or lasting for longer than three years.
Also, all health club contracts can be canceled within three days of
signing and at any time if the club stops offering services listed in the
contract or if the member has a doctor’s order.

Amsterdam, in his decision to purchase
the former YMCA building. The Zoning
Board will vote Jan. 21 on whether to
grant a commercial zoning variance that
would allow Rodriguez to move forward
with his project.
Hagaman residents were largely concerned with possible traffic increases,
what the building would be used for and if
Rodriguez had any plans for the 34 acres
of undeveloped property behind the building.
“The primary tenant of that building,
there would be a licensed homecare
agency,” Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez wants to move Home Helpers
and Direct Link of Amsterdam out of its
current office in the Mohawk Valley
Medical Arts Building, which has become
too small.
The former YMCA building is 17,000
square feet, but Rodriguez has said he
only needs at least 5,000 square-feet to
operate his growing five-year-old business. For the rest of the space, he said he
wants to work with the community to
come up with a use. A child or adult day
care has been proposed, as well as a
lawyer’s, dentist’s or doctor’s office.
A small number of employees work
directly in the office, Rodriguez said, so
traffic would be less than that from the
YMCA. The majority of the employees
work in individuals homes providing
health care. The business also does not
take large commercial deliveries requiring
trucks to go to the property.
“They work in individual homes. The
only time you’ll have increased traffic is
payday,” he said.
When asked what his intentions are for
the 34 acres of undeveloped property,
Rodriguez said, “Right now, I don’t know.
I have no designated use for the land.”
Village trustee Robert Palmatier said the
undeveloped land was his largest concern.
He suggested the commercial variance be
granted for the building and surrounding
property.
“The land in the back stays residential,”
Palmatier said. “Then if there is some
kind of further movement or development, well, he might have to come back
for a zoning variance, or it would have to
be residential.”
Village attorney Gerald DeCusatis said
the Zoning Board would be able shape the
variance to the limitations the board feels
it should be.
“If you’re going to grant a variance, you
can craft that variance limit to what it
needs to be. If it doesn’t need to extend to
undeveloped land, you’re just permitting a
particular use in the existing structure and
the nearby land,” DeCusatis said.
Overall, the reaction from residents was
positive, especially since Rodriguez
would be putting the property back on the
village tax roll, which it has not been on
for more than 50 years, since before a
school occupied the building.
Rodriguez is in the process of applying
for a 10 year payment in lieu of taxes
(PILOT) program with Montgomery
County. It would allow him to start out the
property paying no taxes, then gradually
increasing 10 percent each year to the full
property tax payment within 10 years.
The PILOT and a $106,000 loan from
the county hinge on the project creating
12 full-time equivalent jobs and retaining
128 full-time jobs.
Residents said the PILOT would be better than the property remaining off the tax
roll.
“It would be better than nothing, let’s
say,” Palmatier said. “The PILOT program is subsidized by the taxpayers, but
10 percent a year on something we’ve
been getting nothing on. I wasn’t very
well for it the last time, but the more I
think about it, it’s just more and more
money every year that could be coming
in.”
Residents were also pleased to hear
Rodriguez is interested in working with
the community for the uses of the property and building, but said since the property would be private, not public as with the
YMCA, he did not want to make any
promises for specific community projects.
“We want to do everything we can to
allow that engaged community and have
some type of activity and open it up to
some extent. I just want to make sure that
that doesn’t seem as a promise to you guys
as a community that we’re going to come
in and open the gym for you, that’s not a
promise. That is something that we’re
going to work on to make it happen,”
Rodriguez said.
But, he said, he was excited at the
prospect of making Hagaman home to his
company.
“I love the community, I understand the
community, that’s why I think it would be
a good fit,” he said.
Nancy Carr, former YMCA executive
director, said the YMCA’s board of directors felt confident RAMA Real Properties
was a good fit to own the building and has
worked with Rodriguez to get the sale
underway.
“Mr. Rodriguez and his wife and his
company have been nothing but professional, nothing but pleasant and they are
very excited about the possibility being
neighbors with you folks. I pledged my
help to the Rodriguezes to help their business succeed in Hagaman if that’s where
they end up going,” Carr said.

ice fishing contests
By JOHN BORGOLINI
For the Recorder
MAYFIELD — While residents are enjoying the mild weather, some
local officials are concerned about winter weather-reliant events such
as the Walleye Challenge that runs every year at the end of January.
Gina DaBiere-Gibbs, tourism director of the Fulton Montgomery
Regional Chamber of Commerce, said that Lou Stutzke of the Fuel-nFood store in Mayfield will determine Monday whether the tournament can be held.
“We have a rule that if there’s not ice or unsafe ice, we’ll draw the
prizes at noon at Lanzi’s on the Lake,” DaBiere-Gibbs said.
This year’s tournament will be the eighth year for the event that regularly draws more than 1,500 people from all over New York and from
states as far as Kansas and Mississippi.
The tournament has sold all of its 1,750 tickets this year. The tickets
were sold through a mailing list that has been built over the last eight
years, and DaBiere-Gibbs said this year’s tournament sold out within
two weeks this past November.
The event is organized by the Stutzkes at Fuel-n-Food and the chamber of commerce.
DaBiere-Gibbs said while everyone involved hopes the weather
agrees with the tournament, she believes the turnout won’t be affected if the tournament is called off.
“We still encourage people to come, because we’re raffling off all of
the prizes,” she said. “It will affect the businesses where people buy
the fishing supplies from, but I don’t know if that’s really going to
affect Lanzi’s on that day or anything like that. Because we’re still
encouraging people to come … I don’t know if it’s going to affect
hotel room stays or anything like that.”
She said the event hasn’t had to be canceled yet in its first seven
times.
Last year, prizes included a new snowmobile, a new four-wheeler
and a new ice shanty.
The competition itself included 338 adults and 50 children who
competed in three different categories: Pike, Perch and Trout.
“It might have somewhat of an effect on the economy, but we’re still
encouraging people to come,” DaBiere-Gibbs said. “They still pay
their registration fees. There are still prizes to win. It’s more like a big
party versus the actual fishing competition.”
Randy Gardinier, chairman of the Great Sacandaga Lake Fisheries
Federation Inc., said he will be waiting for Stutzke’s decision Monday
as well for the federation’s ice fishing tournament.
Gardinier said the federation holds its fishing tournament on the
same day as the Walleye Challenge intentionally to allow people to
fish for different species.
“It’s not something where we’re trying to compete,” Gardinier said.
“It has actually worked out well. So many people are coming from all
over — different states and all. With this weekend here, they have an
opportunity to fish in both events.”
He said the Stutzke’s and the chamber officials also donate some of
their earnings from the Walleye Challenge to the federation to help
with stocking the lake with different species of fish in the fall, which
the federation’s annual fishing tournament helps raise money for.
He also said that it brings awareness to the group and brings in new
members.
“Our group is 100 percent volunteers, so any money that we make
goes directly back into stocking,” Gardinier said. “It’s a big fundraiser. There’s no question about it. The way that it would affect us is
there would be several thousands of dollars that we would not be able
to put into stocking the lake this year.”
STATE NEWS IN BRIEF
Mom convicted of brutally beating son
gets 22-year sentence
MONTICELLO (AP) — A central New York woman has
been sentenced more than two decades in prison after she
was convicted of nearly beating her 3-year-old son to
death.
Saundra Hansson was convicted in October of assault
and obstruction of breathing or blood circulation. The 23year-old woman from the Oswego County city of Fulton
was sentenced Wednesday in Monticello in Sullivan
County. She’s to serve 22 years in prison and undergo five
years of supervision after her release.
Hansson was visiting Sullivan County in June 2014 when
she beat her son. Prosecutors say the boy would’ve died if
someone at a bus terminal hadn’t called police after seeing
bruises and cuts on him.
The boy suffered a broken pelvis, clavicle, neck and arm
as well as broken ribs and other internal injuries.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Counting our blessings
To the editor,
The holiday season was especially nice for the ladies at
the Sanford Home here in Amsterdam. Small towns are
warm and loving places to live.
The annual donation of a large tray of homemade cookies from an anonymous couple arrived mid-December
again as it has for over 16 years. Our ladies love cookies. Grateful families sent candy, coffee K-cups and
more cookies for the hard-working staff who care for
their loved ones each day, night, weekends, and holidays. Poinsettias arrived as well as seasonal flowers
which made our home festive.
Quite unexpectedly, one day in December, a check
arrived from Amsterdam Print. This generous donation
will ensure that our ladies will be able to continue playing bingo and receive candy and chips for prizes. It will
also cover the cost of nail polish and lotions for their elderly previously hard working little hands over the next
12 months. Thank you Amsterdam Print.
As if that wasn’t enough to be thankful for – Alpin
Haus gifted each lady with a special handmade canvas
bag after learning that one of our ladies was using a plastic grocery bag to carry her personal items out for an
overnight visit. Thank you Alpin Haus.
Some of our ladies are very poor, but rich in the love of
the local community members who take great care of us.
Every day we count our blessings trying hard to ignore
the aches and pains of advanced age. This December will
long be remembered for the kindness shown to all of us
once again. Thank you Amsterdam.

Time to address global warming
To the editor,
You know it's global warming when:
The UPS man is wearing shorts in the middle of
December,
Your lawn is still green at Christmastime and you wonder if you need to mow,
A daddy longlegs is alive and well on your front porch
in the middle of December,
According to NOAA Weather, days on which heat is
needed are way below average, but days on which air
conditioning is needed are way above average,
The year 1915 was the hottest on record, as were the
last 2 before that in their turn,
New York City has trees with green leaves on
December 10
Your gas bill for heat in December is the same as it was
for April
There is a hurricane in the Pacific in the middle of
January,
A tropical Depression is forming in the Atlantic in
January which may turn into a tropical storm
It was 73 degrees an raining on Christmas Eve
No significant snow fell until January 12
Roofers are still working in the middle of January
And so I ask, as our climate pattern changes, that you do
your utmost to conserve fossil fuel energy. Turn the thermostat down a little, drive less by consolidating errands,
walk if possible, use cold water to wash clothes, and call
an alternative energy supplier to convert your electricity
to the clean, renewable resources of wind or solar power.

EDITORIAL
Finding common ground
President Barack Obama’s final State of the Union address
Tuesday night marked a departure from the laundry list of
achievements and legislative goals we’ve heard in past
speeches. This time, he focused on the future’s big picture.
The speech marked the president’s last-ditch appeal for
Congress to overcome deep partisan divisions and join forces
for the sake of the nation.
“The future we want — opportunity and security for our
families, a rising standard of living, and a sustainable, peaceful planet for our kids — all that is within our reach,” the president said. “But it will only happen if we work together. It will
only happen if we can have rational, constructive debates. It
will only happen if we fix our politics.”
Good luck with that, especially during an election year in
which Democratic candidates are too quick to paint rosy pictures of success and Republicans are doing everything possible to make Americans believe their country is heading down
the toilet. The truth is, the nation is neither as well off as the
Democrats would have us believe, nor is it anywhere close to
the point of calamity as the Republicans suggest.
But there’s no question that the American psyche is being
affected by the rhetoric. Obama urged Americans not to take
the bait: “There have been those who told us to fear the future,
who claimed we could slam the brakes on change, promising
to restore past glory if we just got some group or idea that was
threatening America under control.”
For all the conservatives’ talk about how awful things are,
voters must constantly ask themselves whether the critics are
offering realistic solutions and workable alternatives. That is,
something more than banning all Muslim visitors and massdeporting 11 million undocumented immigrants.
Obama spent the past year forging ahead without
Congressional support wherever possible. But he also did so
without the American public’s broad approval. Polls show
people just aren’t convinced he’s improved their lives or
America’s place in the world. This despite the nuclear deal he
hammered out with Iran, the restoration of diplomatic relations with Cuba, his successful defense of Obamacare or his
efforts to confront soaring gun violence. The list goes on.
No president, regardless of popularity, can go it alone.
Important unfinished business awaits bold leadership from
Congress, as the president’s speech underscored. Despite an
improved job market, too many Americans have seen their
economic fortunes dwindle as wages fail to keep pace with
the cost of living, the president said.
Only now, in the 11th hour of Obama’s presidency, is
Congress discovering ways for the two parties to work together. For example, bipartisan reform of No Child Left Behind,
through the Every Student Succeeds Act, passed in December.
It promises to lift the thumb of federal educational oversight
by easing some of the testing, curriculum and accountability
burdens that have placed a “failed” label on countless urban
public schools. And there’s new hope for reform of the criminal justice system because of bipartisan agreement on the
need to reduce prison costs and stop the abuses that, too often,
put innocent people behind bars.
This president has been stymied from day one of his first
term by Republican leaders who determined that blind opposition, regardless of the merits of Obama’s initiatives, was the
best strategy to ensure his would be a one-term presidency.
When the nation stood at the brink of economic ruin in
2009, their answer was “no” to Obama’s stimulus plans.
When the slaughter of innocent children at Sandy Hook
Elementary called for greater efforts to keep guns out of the
hands of madmen, their answer was no. Again and again,
hard-liners have worked to sabotage efforts at bipartisan
progress, even when they knew their intransigence could
inflict serious harm on the nation.
That said, on some issues, the Republicans were correct to
criticize the president. His responses were tepid at best when
Syria was spiraling toward civil war. He missed multiple
opportunities to prop up moderate rebel forces and stop the
Islamic State from gaining a foothold.
At the same time, the gloom-and-doom assessment of GOP
hard-liners has failed to play out. Recall the 10 percent unemployment rate that prevailed shortly after Obama took office.
Today, unemployment stands at 5 percent, and there are 14
million more jobs today than in 2009.
“Anyone claiming that America’s economy is in decline is
peddling fiction,” the president stated.
Obama made a point early in his speech of praising House
Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., for his efforts to muster bipartisan unity around the budget.
For his part, Ryan has acknowledged that the GOP must
change tactics and start coming up with solutions for
Americans struggling at the point of economic desperation.
“There are the millions of people stuck in neutral: 6 million
people who have no choice but to work part time, 45 million
people living in poverty,” he told an audience in December.
“Conservatives need to have an answer to this, because we do
not write people off in this country. We just don’t.”
He and Obama, along with the president’s successor, owe it
to the American public to search harder for that crucial common ground. As the president suggested Tuesday night, “We
just might surprise the cynics again.”

Gov. Cuomo unveils plans for housing, transportation in annual address
ALBANY (AP) — Housing the homeless, a higher minimum wage and paid family leave top an ambitious agenda detailed Wednesday by Gov. Andrew Cuomo in an
address that featured personal connections to policy, a
heckling legislator and a vision that balanced liberal priorities with big investments in public infrastructure.
Cuomo’s 90-minute State of the State speech laid out a
range of other proposals including a freeze on Thruway
tolls, small-business tax cuts and $1 billion in new public
education spending.
“We have a big agenda,” the Democratic governor told
the hundreds who heard his address in a convention hall in
the Capitol complex. “We want to do big things.”
The $145.3 billion budget proposal now goes to lawmakers, who will review the details and could make significant changes.
Many of Cuomo’s big ideas were rolled out in the two
weeks leading up to Wednesday’s speech. Several, such as
the higher minimum wage, could face opposition in the
GOP-controlled Senate, where many lawmakers worry
about the effect on business.
“Whether it’s a $15 minimum wage — which is way out
of line with other states — or paid family leave, you’re
giving another signal to the people who are creating jobs
to leave the state,” said Senate Deputy Majority Leader
John DeFrancisco.
The wage proposal would gradually raise the current $9
minimum to $15 in 2019 in New York City and in 2021 in
the rest of the state. A $15 minimum would give New
York the nation’s highest state minimum.
“We can show this nation what real economic justice
means,” Cuomo told the audience. “We won’t stop until
we get it done.”
Cuomo’s paid-family leave proposal would allow workers to take up to 12 weeks of paid time off to care for an
ailing relative or a new child. It would be funded by
employee contributions.
The governor cited his regret for not spending more time
with his father, former Gov. Mario Cuomo, before his
death last year and believes New Yorkers shouldn’t have
to worry about losing their job to care for an ailing loved
one.
“There are many people in this state who don’t have the
choice,” he said. “Parent is dying. Child is sick. They
can’t take off work.”
Cuomo cited another personal story — his girlfriend
Sandra Lee’s recent battle with breast cancer — when he
called for $91 million to boost breast cancer screening and
care and to educate men about prostate cancer. Lee, a
celebrity chef, is now cancer free.
On the issue of homelessness, Cuomo is proposing $20
billion over five years for new affordable housing and
additional shelter beds. He also called for an audit of
homeless shelters; those deemed unsafe would be
required to remedy the problems, perhaps by adding
police protection, or risk being closed or taken under the

control of a receiver.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, whose handling of
homelessness has been criticized by Cuomo’s administration, said he was pleased with the proposal. The two men
met for about half an hour before the speech in Cuomo’s
office.
“It’s commendable that the state is making a serious
commitment,” de Blasio said.
The budget would increase public school spending by $1
billion to $24.2 billion. Advocates wanted much more.
Billy Easton, director of the Alliance for Quality
Education, said nearly $3 billion is needed to fund schools
appropriately.
“Gov. Cuomo’s speech was long on rhetoric and short on
solutions,” he said.
To boost the economy Cuomo recommends cutting
small business tax rates and increasing a tax break given
to farms and sole proprietorships. Together the changes
would save small businesses $300 million a year.
Senate Leader John Flanagan, a Long Island
Republican, said far more would be needed to help businesses absorb a $15 minimum wage. “I don’t think that
works at all,” he told reporters.
Titled “Built to Lead,” Cuomo said his agenda proposes

THE NEWS IN BRIEF
Woman who killed 5-year-old
cousin faces sentencing
GE to add 100 jobs at upstate
New York research center
ALBANY (AP) — Sentencing is set for a New
York woman who fatally injured her 5-year-old
cousin and hid him in a snowbank while he was
still alive, then claimed the child had been
abducted from her rural upstate home by
strangers.
Tiffany VanAlstyne faces 18 years to life in
prison when she’s sentenced Thursday morning
in Albany County Court.
The 20-year-old VanAlstyne admitted to beating and choking Kenneth White while caring for
him in December 2014 at her home in the town
of Knox. She pleaded guilty in November to
depraved indifference murder of a child.
VanAlstyne initially told police men kidnapped
the boy, prompting authorities to issue a
statewide Amber Alert. She later admitted she
covered his body with snow after tossing him
into a culvert near the home, then called 911
and claimed the boy had been abducted.
NISKAYUNA (AP) — General Electric Co. says
it will add 100 new high-tech jobs at its Global
Research Center.
GE says the new jobs at the Niskayuna center
represent its commitment to expanding research
and development. GE officials say the company
wants to grow its artificial intelligence and robotics capabilities, among other goals.
The upstate expansion was announced
Wednesday, the same day GE said it is moving
its global headquarters from Connecticut to
Boston. New York officials had reportedly tried to
entice GE to move to their state.
Blaze leaves man with severe
burns, destroys 2 businesses
PORT JERVIS (AP) — An upstate New York
man has suffered severe burns after his clothes
caught fire during a blaze that destroyed two
businesses.
Officials say the fire broke out around noon
Wednesday in the Orange County city of Port Jervis.
Two businesses and a ground-floor apartment
were destroyed, including a thrift store and a
hair salon. The fire is believed to have begun in
the apartment.
Seneca Nation begins $40
million expansion of casino
BUFFALO (AP) — The Seneca Indian Nation
is beginning work on a $40 million expansion of
its casino in Buffalo.
Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown is scheduled to be
at the Buffalo Creek Casino on Thursday when
Seneca President Maurice John and Gaming
Corp. Chairman Barry Snyder mark the start of
construction.
The western New York tribe announced plans
to add more gambling, restaurant and retail
space last summer. The two-story expansion is
expected to be completed by spring 2017.

the expansion of the Javits convention center in
Manhattan, a third line on the Long Island Rail Road and
$22 billion over the long term on highways and bridges.
Upstate, Cuomo wants to use a portion of the state’s $2.3
billion windfall from court settlements to freeze tolls on
the Thruway and the Tappan Zee Bridge until 2020.
Thruway users who spend at least $50 annually on tolls
could get a tax credit equal to 50 percent of the tolls paid.
Following a wave of corruption scandals, Cuomo recommends tight limits on lawmakers’ outside income. The
plan, modeled after restrictions in Congress, would
restrict a lawmaker’s outside income to 15 percent of the
legislative salary, currently $79,500. The governor also
wants to close a campaign finance loophole allowing limited liability corporations to skirt contribution limits.
Shortly after Cuomo began his annual speech,
Assemblyman Charles Barron stood up and began yelling
over the governor. Cuomo tried to quiet him, telling
Barron, “OK Assemblyman. Let me finish and then you’ll
have your turn.”
After a few tense moments, Barron left the convention
hall. He told reporters that Cuomo ignores the needs of
poor New Yorkers while painting a “flowery” vision of
the state.

Brazen attacks in Jakarta leave 7 dead, many hurt
The Associated Press
Police officers walk together as they take their position near the site where an explosion went off today in Jakarta, Indonesia. Attackers set off explosions at a Starbucks
cafe in a bustling shopping area in Indonesia’s capital and waged gun battles with
police, leaving bodies in the streets as office workers watched in terror from highrise buildings.
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Attackers
set off suicide bombs and exchanged gunfire outside a Starbucks cafe in
Indonesia’s capital in a brazen assault
today that police said “imitated” the
recent Paris attacks and was probably
linked to the Islamic State group.
All five attackers and a Canadian and an
Indonesian died in the midmorning explosions and gunfire that were watched by
office workers from high-rise buildings on
Thamarin Street in Jakarta, not far from the
presidential palace and the U.S. Embassy,
police said. Another 19 people were injured.
When the area was finally secured a few
hours later, bodies were sprawled on sidewalks. But given the firepower the attackers carried — handguns, grenades and
homemade bombs — and the soft targets
they picked in a bustling, crowded area,
the casualties were relatively few compared to the mayhem and carnage caused
by the Paris attacks.
“We have identified all attackers ... we can
say that the attackers were affiliated with the
ISIS group,” national police spokesman
Maj. Gen. Anton Charilyan told reporters,
referring to the Islamic State group.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks. But the Aamaq news
agency, which is affiliated with the Islamic
State group, quoted an unnamed source as
saying the group carried out the violence.
The news agency has been used as a
source on the IS militants in the past.
Jakarta police chief Maj. Gen. Tito
Karnavian said the first suicide bombing
happened at a Starbucks restaurant, causing customers to run out. Outside, two
gunmen opened fire, killing a Canadian
and wounding an Indonesian, he said.
At about the same time two other suicide
bombers attacked a nearby traffic police
booth, killing themselves and an Indonesian
man. Karnavian said that minutes later a
group of policemen was attacked by the
remaining two gunmen, using homemade
bombs. This led to a 15-minute gunfight in
which both attackers were killed, he said.
Police then combed the building housing
the Starbucks and another nearby building
where they discovered six bombs.

Egypt to spend $32M upgrading
tourist resort security
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — A man has died two
days after he was shot by police officers who
say he barricaded himself inside a Norfolk home
and fatally wounded a police dog.
In a statement, Norfolk police say 58-year-old
Keith Richardson died Tuesday afternoon from
injuries sustained following the standoff.
Norfolk police were called to investigate a report
of a domestic dispute Sunday at Richardson’s
home. A woman was able to escape the home,
while he remained behind with a gun.
Police say Richardson refused orders to put
the gun down and surrender. After several
hours, authorities say Richardson went outside
and started shooting, striking a police dog.
Officers shot Richardson, who was taken to a
hospital with serious injuries.
CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s tourism minister says
the government will spend $32 million to
upgrade security in two Red Sea resorts popular
with foreign tourists.
In a statement today, Hisham Zaazou said the
plan would expand the use of security cameras,
scanning and detection equipment and sniffer
dogs in Sharm el-Sheikh and Hurghada. He says
additional security personnel will be deployed.
News of the upgrade follows two attacks this
month targeting hotels frequented by foreign
tourists in Cairo and Hurghada. No one was hurt in
the Cairo attack, but three tourists — two Austrians
and a Swede — were injured in Hurghada.
Police detain Florence suspect
after DNA analysis on condom
WASHINGTON (AP) — More Americans
applied for unemployment benefits last week,
but the level remains near historic lows that
point to a healthy job market.
Applications for jobless aid rose 4,000 to a
seasonally adjusted 284,000, the Labor
Department said today. The less volatile 4-week
average rose 3,000 to 278,750. Over the past
12 months, the number of people collecting benefits has fallen 6.3 percent to 2.3 million.
Layoffs generally tend to rise in the early
weeks of January as retailers let go of holiday
workers, but even on an unadjusted basis jobless claims are lower than a year ago.
FLORENCE, Italy (AP) — Italian prosecutors
say “decisive” DNA analysis of a condom and
cigarette butt led them to detain a Senegalese
man in the death of an American woman who
suffered two deadly fractures to her skull before
being strangled in her Florence apartment.
The naked body of Ashley Olsen, 35, of
Summer Haven, Florida, was discovered
Saturday morning by her Italian boyfriend.
Florence chief prosecutor Giuseppe Creazzo
told a news conference Thursday that investigators had detained Cheik Tidiane Diaw, a 27year-old who arrived recently in Italy from
Senegal, based on witness testimony, DNA
analysis and because he had Olsen’s cellphone.
Citing witness testimony and street cameras,
Creazzo said Olsen and Diaw met for the first
time at the Montecarla disco in Florence early
Friday and went together to Olsen’s apartment
in the Tuscan city’s historic center.
He said the autopsy determined that Olsen had
suffered two fractures to her skull which were so
violent they alone would have killed her. She
was subsequently strangled.
PM says Turkish artillery hit IS
positions in Iraq, Syria
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkish tanks and
artillery have attacked Islamic State group positions
in Iraq and in Syria in retaliation for the suicide
bombing in Istanbul which killed 10 tourists, Turkish
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said today.
Close to 200 extremists were “rendered ineffective” — the government’s term for “killed” —
in the artillery strikes in the past 48 hours,
Davutoglu said. It was unclear how Turkey verified the number of dead or their membership in
the extremist group.
He spoke a day after Kurdish rebels detonated
a car bomb at a police station in southeastern
Turkey, then attacked it with rocket launchers and
firearms, killing six people including civilians, officials said. It was a further sign of the deteriorating
security situation in the country which is grappling
with both the Islamic extremists and the rebels
who have intensified attacks in the country.
US requests for jobless aid
rose, but level still near lows
Federal agent says Iraqi refugee
wanted to bomb Texas malls
HOUSTON (AP) — An Iraqi refugee who is
facing charges that he tried to help the Islamic
State group wanted to set off bombs at two
Houston malls and was learning to make electronic transmitters that could be used to detonate explosive devices, a federal agent testified.
Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan, who came to
Houston from Iraq in 2009, was indicted last
week on three charges, including attempting to
provide support to a designated terrorist organization. He pleaded not guilty to all three charges
during a court appearance on Wednesday.
U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes denied granting Al Hardan a bond, ruling that there would be
a serious risk that the Iraqi refugee would flee if
released from federal custody.
Maine House ready to debate

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Maine legislators
are ready to consider an impeachment order
calling for an investigation into allegations that
Gov. Paul LePage abused his power.
The proposal is due to be debated on the
House floor today. A group of lawmakers led by
Democratic Rep. Ben Chipman of Portland submitted the impeachment order.
Chipman’s group wants to punish the
Republican governor for using influence to pressure a school operator into taking back a job offer
from Democratic House Speaker Mark Eves.

7-Eleven store clerk M. Faroqui celebrates with customers after
learning the store sold a winning Powerball ticket on Wednesday,
in Chino Hills, Calif. One winning ticket was sold at the store
located in suburban Los Angeles said a spokesman for California
lottery. The identity of the winner is not yet known.
$1.6 billion Powerball
jackpot goes to three
winners in three states
LOS ANGELES (AP) — An eye-popping and unprecedented
Powerball jackpot whose rise to $1.6 billion became a national fascination will be split three ways.
The winners’ identities remain a mystery, but they bought their tickets in Florida, Tennessee and a Los Angeles suburb where even lottery
losers were celebrating today that such heady riches were won in their
modest city.
The winners of the world-record jackpot overcame odds of 1 in
292.2 million to land on the numbers drawn Wednesday night, 4-8-1927-34 and Powerball 10. They can take the winnings in annual payments spread over decades or a smaller amount in a lump sum.
The California ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven in Chino Hills,
California, lottery spokesman Alex Traverso told The Associated
Press. The winning ticket in Tennessee was sold in Munford, north of
Memphis, according to a news release from lottery officials in that
state. The winning Florida ticket was sold at a Publix grocery store in
Melbourne Beach.
The California store and its surrounding strip mall immediately
became a popular gathering spot in the usually quiet suburb of 75,000
people. Hundreds of people, from news crews to gawkers, crowded
the store and spilled into its parking lot.
They cheered and mugged for TV cameras as if it were New Year’s
Eve or a sporting event. Many chanted, “Chino Hills! Chino Hills!” in
celebration of the city.
“It’s history. We’re all so excited for our city,” Rita Talwar, 52, who
has lived in Chino Hills for 30 years, told the local newspaper, the San
Bernardino Sun.
Some took selfies with the store clerk on duty, who became an
instant celebrity and may well have been the man who sold the ticket
after being on duty for much of the run-up to Wednesday night’s
drawing.
“I’m very proud that the ticket was sold here,” the clerk, M. Faroqui,
told the Sun. “I’m very happy. This is very exciting.”
The 7-Eleven will get a $1 million bonus for selling the winning
ticket, Traverso said.
No details were immediately available about the Florida winner.
The estimated jackpot amounts had risen steadily since Nov. 4, when
it was reset at $40 million. Texas Lottery executive director Gary
Grief has said this Powerball offered “absolutely” the world’s biggest
jackpot.

Son’s shunning leads to hate
DEAR ABBY: I moved
overseas for work when
I was 18. My father
divorced my mom
around the same time. I
used to come back to
the U.S. for two weeks
every year to visit and
stay with Mom.
However, for the past
By
eight years she has sent
ABIGAIL
me emails “suggesting”
in a roundabout way
VAN BUREN
that I was not totally
welcome. Because of
this, I haven’t been back in six years.
For the last 20-plus years I have given
my mother about $7,000. Because I’m not
welcome in her home, I told her I won’t
give her any more. She is now showing
regret for her previous emails, but for me
it’s too late. Since I’m no longer sending
money, she will have to sell her condo.
She’s getting old and doesn’t have much
time left, and I can’t wait until she passes
on. I despise her. For me it is unacceptable for a mother to not welcome her son
into her home for two weeks a year. Am I
overreacting? Is my level of hate valid? –
REJECTED SON IN THAILAND
DEAR REJECTED SON: Not knowing
your mother’s reason for implying you
weren’t welcome to stay with her, your
question is hard to answer. I understand why
you would feel hurt, even angry. But looking
forward to the day she’s no longer on this
earth strikes me as an overreaction.
From what I have read on the subject – as
well as personal experience – I have concluded that hatred is like acid. It hurts the
hater worse than the person at whom it is
aimed. At this point your mother has lost her
son and now she’s losing her home. I’d say
that’s a large dose of punishment for her
lack of hospitality. If you can’t mend fences,
then dwell on the positive things you have in
your life rather than wasting time wishing
DEAR ABBY
her dead.
DEAR ABBY: I’ve been married to my
wife for nine years. She is addicted to
Ambien and pain meds. I love her with all
my heart, but the constant trips to the
hospital and emergency rooms have left
me feeling numb. The episodes are all
pretty much the same “Groundhog Day”
scenario. I’m in so much pain emotionally.
They treat her because she claims to
have lupus. The real story is her addiction. My question is, what do I do? She
has been to the hospital at least 30 times
in our nine years of marriage. Please help
me help her. Thank you. – TIRED IN
TEXAS
DEAR TIRED: You say the people at the
hospital are unaware that your wife is a prescription drug addict. Why haven’t you told
them the truth and revealed where your wife
is getting all those pills? For too long you
have tolerated a situation that is destructive
for both of you.
You may love your wife and want to be
supportive, but you can’t save her from her
addiction. Only she can do that by admitting
she’s out of control, seeking help and sticking to a program.

your possessions, because you want
everything to be orderly and neat.
YOU BORN TODAY You are idealistic and want to make the world a
better place. You are sometimes
viewed as heroic in the eyes of others. You also love your creature comforts. This year you have something
important to learn. It might not be
apparent in the first half of the year,
but soon, your efforts of the past six
years will manifest results. Enjoy the
outdoors more.

Survivors kept ‘13 Hours: The
Secret Soldiers of Benghazi’ real
By RICH HELDENFELS
Akron Beacon Journal
When some of the people
behind the new movie “13
Hours” talk about how real it is,
they point to walls.
The movie, whose full title is
“13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers
of Benghazi,” shows what happened on the ground at the U.S.
compound in Benghazi, Libya, in
2012. Arriving in theaters this
week, it is based on the book “13
Hours: The Inside Account of
What Really Happened in
Benghazi,” written by Mitchell
Zuckoff in conjunction with five
members of the compound’s
civilian security team.
The team had six members;
one, Tyrone Woods, was among
the four people killed in the
attack on the compound, along
with the U.S. ambassador to
Libya, J. Christopher Stevens.
But two of the team members,
former Army Ranger Kris
“Tanto” Paronto and former
Marine John “Tig” Tiegen, said
recently that those deaths keep
getting lost in the political arguments that still rage over
Benghazi.
“They’d mention the four guys
that died, and that was about it,”
said Tiegen. “They’d mention
their names in some political
scheme. We all felt it was a disgrace and a slap in the face of the
four guys that sacrificed their
lives.”
“The agenda-ists hijacked it,”
added Paronto. “It got to be a
point where we let it go and we
let it go and the truth kept getting
spun to benefit policies, to benefit the politics of it.”
Some of the surviving team
members talked about doing
interviews about their experiences, and the sacrifices made.
But Tiegen said “we felt they’d
eventually twist our words. So
the best way to do it was to write
it down in a book and they couldn’t twist it.”
Paronto, Tiegen and a third
With the same brand of silliness and a bit more creativity than
the original, “Ride Along 2”doesn’t pretend to be anything more
than what it is: a sequel designed to offer a second helping of
exactly what worked the first time around.
The original “Ride Along” topped the box office for three
straight weeks when it opened in January of 2014, collecting
$150 million returns on its modest $25 million budget. It focused
on Ben (Kevin Hart), an excitable video-game junkie and
wannabe cop, and his attempts to impress his disinterested
future brother-in-law, James (Ice Cube), a hard-nosed police
detective. Hart is goofy and slapstick; Cube is stern and
annoyed.
Producers reprise the formula and return to many of the original film’s artists for the sequel, including screenwriters Phil
Hay and Matt Manfredi and director Tim Story.
This time around, Ben is a fresh graduate of the police academy a week away from his wedding to Angela (Tika Sumpter).
He’s still trying to impress her brother, James, who still can’t
stand him.
At Angela’s urging, James reluctantly agrees to bring Ben on
a police mission from Atlanta to Miami, where James is on the
hunt for a suspicious hacker, AJ (Ken Jeong). AJ is linked to a
case James is working in Atlanta, but he’s also connected to a

‘Ride Along 2’ follows

major Miami drug lord, Antonio Pope
(Benjamin Bratt), who has been masquerading as a philanthropist. This prompts a local
homicide detective, Maya (Olivia Munn), to
join the investigation.
The plot is too complicated to explain
(there’s government corruption and shipping fraud involved), but it doesn’t even
really matter. It’s just about setting up ever
more elaborate situations for Hart to be a
goofball to Cube’s straight man.
The actors deliver, just like in the last
movie and others where they play similar
roles. Cube is predictably tough and snarly,
making Hart seem even more smiley and
animated by contrast. He eats up the camera
in every scene.
Everything else is a side dish, though
Jeong amuses as a sex-crazed hacker nebbish and Sherri Shepherd is over the top as
an obsessive wedding planner. Munn gets in
on the action scenes and performs a sultry
dance with Bratt, but Sumpter is given little
to do.
Since this is a buddy-cop movie, it wouldn’t be complete without car chases and
explosions, and the fancy rides and fireworks in “Ride Along 2” reflect the film’s
larger budget. There’s ample eye candy in
the form of bikini-wearing women, glamorous Miami settings and sleek sports cars,
including a breathtaking baby-blue Jaguar.
The most playful sequence involves that
car and special effects that transform a real
street chase into what looks like a video
game.
Although “Ride Along 2” has fancier trim
than the original, it’s really just the same old
ride. But if you thought the first one was
fun, taking another spin won’t disappoint.
“Ride Along 2”

Rated: PG-13 for “sequences of violence,
sexual content, language and some drug

‘13 Hours’ from page 12
team member, Mark “Oz”
Geist, have done interviews in
conjunction with the book, which
Paronto said “needed to be
made,” and for the movie. But
the latter promotional effort was
not guaranteed until they saw
how the movie would be made.
Michael Bay, the director
known for “Transformers”
movies and big action features
such as “Pearl Harbor” and
“Armageddon,” might have
seemed a risk to exaggerate
events. But he has reportedly
called this “my most real movie.”
Tiegen and Paronto would not
have it any other way. They
wanted to honor the fallen four,
and to show the courage of the
men in the fight. While Tiegen
acknowledged some dramatic
license in the script by Chuck
Hogan — “Some of the roles got
meshed together and moved
around to make it flow” — he
also said they were closely consulted on the script and did successfully request some changes.
“We were involved from the getgo,” said Paronto. The message to
the filmmakers was clear: “We’re
not going to get creative control.
We’re not Tom Cruise. But we’re
not going to promote the movie if
it’s wrong.” Paronto was ready to
go on social media to object to the
movie if necessary but, he added,
“they did respect us.”
Which brings us, at least in part,
to those walls.
“They brought us up to L.A.
and they’re showing us the set
design, and the compound, and it
was pretty much already done,”

said Tiegen. He began pointing
out some things were in the
wrong places.
“There are certain scenarios
where, if the towers weren’t in
the right spot, we wouldn’t be
able to fight the way we were [in
real life],” Tiegen said. “If the
buildings weren’t correctly
placed, same thing. We wouldn’t
be able to accurately shoot or
move the way we did. … It’s not
a documentary, but … ”
“We want it to be as truthful as
possible,” said Paronto. “Truthful
to guys like us. The civilian that
goes to see it, they’re not going to
know. But the guys we trusted our
lives with, we want them to know.”
While some movies feel right —
Tiegen mentioned “Heartbreak
Ridge” and both spoke well of the
boot camp section of “Full Metal
Jacket” — a wrong detail can
almost ruin a movie for them. So
an estimated $100,000 was spent
to fix the walls.
The actors, who include Pablo
Schreiber and Dominic Fumusa
as Paronto and Tiegen respectively, also went for accuracy as they
received some training from
Navy SEALs who were “pretty
good,” Tiegen said. But they got
more guidance from their reallife counterparts — “little, fine
details.” For example, Paronto
mentioned showing Schreiber to
cock his machine gun palm up
instead of palm down.
For all that, Tiegen and Paronto
know that at some point “13
Hours” will be seen as a political
message by at least some moviegoers.
“Yeah, it will,” said Paronto.
“The truth is the truth. As long as
the people know it, that’s all we
can do. … At least now the story’s
out. Now we’re in pop culture,
not just in print. We’re history.
And no one can change that.”

Check out ‘Hotel Transylvania 2,’ ‘Image Revolution’
By RICK BENTLEY
The Fresno Bee
This week’s new DVD releases, out Jan. 12, highlight
the good comedy found in films and on TV
“Hotel Transylvania 2”
Grade: 3 stars
It’s as rare as vampires on a beach to have a movie
sequel be better than the original. But vampires might
start looking for some sunglasses because the spookiest
thing about “Hotel Transylvania 2” is how much funnier,
more colorful and more original it is this second time
around.
The is the kind of high energy movie that will keep
youngsters interested and entertained. At the same time,
the humor is smart and the story sweet enough that parents
won’t mind sitting through this tale.
It’s anything but blah, blah, blah.
“The Image Revolution”
Grade: 3 stars

Marvel Comics in 1992 to launch their own comic book

Liefeld, Jim Lee, Marc Silvestri, Erik Larsen, Whilce
Portacio, Todd McFarlane and Jim Valentino — discuss

CRITICS’ CHOICES
“Anomalisa” — Sad, beautiful, the
wittiest film of the year; directors Duke
Johnson and Charlie Kaufman, using
Actor Alan
Rickman, 69,
dies of cancer
LONDON (AP)
— British actor
Alan
Rickman,
whose
career
ranged from the
Royal Shakespeare
Company to the
RICKMAN “Harry
Potter”
films, has died. He was 69.
Rickman’s family said today
that the actor had died after a battle with cancer.
Trained at the prestigious
Royal Academy of Dramatic Art,
Rickman was often cast as the
bad guy; with his rich, languid
voice he could invest evil with
wicked, irresistible relish.
Film roles included the villain
Hans Gruber in “Die Hard” in
1988, and a wayward husband in
2003 romantic comedy “Love
Actually.”
Millions know him from the
Potter films, in which he played
Dark Arts teacher Severus Snape.
This photo provided by Universal Pictures shows, Tina Fey, left, as Kate Ellis and Amy
Poehler as Maura Ellis, in a scene from the film, “Sisters,” directed by Jason Moore.
stop-motion animation and working from
a script Kaufman originally wrote and
staged a decade ago, transform the
comedy of quiet desperation into an
occasion for serious pleasure. (1:30) R.
“The Big Short” — Adam McKay,
with the help of Christian Bale, Steve
Carell, Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt, has
made a very funny film about a very
serious situation, 2008’s global financial
collapse. (2:10) R.
“Carol” — Impeccably acted by Cate
Blanchett and Rooney Mara as two
women in love, with an exquisite look
captured by cinematographer Ed
Lachman, “Carol” has been made under
the complete and total control of Todd
Haynes, a gifted director who always
knows what he’s doing. (1:58) R.
“Creed” — In the hands of director
Ryan Coogler and star Michael B.
Jordan, what is nominally a spinoff of
the celebrated “Rocky” series plays like
a spiritual remake of the 1976 film that
retells the original story in the kind of
involving way one would not have
thought possible. (2:12) PG-13.
“The Good Dinosaur” — The latest
Pixar event is antic and unexpected as
well as homiletic, rife with subversive
elements, wacky critters, and some of
the most beautiful landscapes ever
seen in a computer-animated feature.
(K.Tu., Nov. 25) (1:40) PG.
“The Martian” — Turning the plight of
astronaut Mark Watney, inadvertently
abandoned on the planet Mars, into the
most polished of crowd-pleasers was
the work of many hands, most especially star Matt Damon and experienced
director Ridley Scott. Written by Drew
Goddard. With Jessica Chastain, Jeff
Daniels, Michael Pena, Kate Mara and
Chiwetel Ejiofor. (2:10) PG-13.
“Spotlight” — The saga of how the
Boston Globe won the Pulitzer Prize in
2003 for uncovering sexual abuse by
Catholic priests, the film is mightily
impressive not only because of the
importance of the story it tells but also
because of how much effort and skill
went into bringing it to the screen in the
best possible way (2:08) R.
ALSO IN THEATERS
“Alvin and the Chipmunks: The
Road Chip” — A mix of live action and
CGI-animated silliness that is harmless,
zippy, candy-colored fun. (1:26) PG.
“Concussion” — Will Smith stars as a
forensic neuropathologist who discovers
the first case of CTE, a football-related
brain trauma, and challenges the NFL in
his battle to reveal the truth. With Alec
Baldwin, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, David
Morse and Albert Brooks. (2:03) PG-13.
“Daddy’s Home” — In its best
moments, it’s a sly expose of the frailties of the contemporary male selfimage and in its lesser moments a simplistic slapstick. This being a Will Ferrell
comedy, sometimes those moments are
one and the same. (1:36) PG-13.
“The Hateful Eight” — An ultrawide
bore, writer-director Quentin Tarantino’s
post-Civil War picture, set largely in a
Wyoming roadhouse with a blizzard
raging outside, is not so much a shoot’em-up (though the violence is outlandishly rough when it comes) as a
guess-’em-up. (2:47) R.
“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay —
Part 2” — Earnest and acceptable
though it is, this fourth and concluding
part of the Jennifer Lawrence-starring
futuristic epic doesn’t end on the kind of

high note it deserves. (2:17) PG-13.
“In the Heart of the Sea” — The
whale is wondrous but the drama not so
much in director Ron Howard’s ripping
yarn about men and the sea that’s
based on the true events that in part
inspired Herman Melville’s classic
“Moby-Dick.” (2:01) PG-13.
“Joy” — Writer-director David O.
Russell reunites with stars Jennifer
Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Robert
De Niro in this intergenerational story of
a young woman who founds a business
dynasty based on a cleaning product.
With Édgar Ramirez, Diane Ladd,
Virginia Madsen and Isabella Rossellini.
Story by Annie Mumolo and Russell.
(2:04) PG-13.
“Krampus” — At least four different
movies are jostling for position in writerdirector Michael Dougherty’s holiday
horror-comedy, and half of them are
pretty good. (1:38) PG-13.
“Legend” — The story of twin brothers Ronald and Reggie Kray (both
played by Tom Hardy), who were kingpins of the London underworld at the
height of the Swinging ‘60s, adds a bit
of psychodrama, but writer-director
Brian Helgeland never fully connects
the personal side of the Krays to their
criminal myth. (2:11) R.
“Point Break” — Inspired by the
1991 surfer crime movie about an FBI
agent infiltrating a gang of extreme athletes who use their feats to pull off elaborate capers. With Edgar Ramirez, Luke
Bracey, Teresa Palmer, Delroy Lindo
and Ray Winstone. Written by Kurt
Wimmer, story by Rick King & W. Peter
Iliff and Wimmer, based on the 1991
film. (1:53) PG-13. Warner Bros.
“The Revenant” — Leonardo
DiCaprio stars as an explorer left for
dead in the wilderness, who fights for
survival and a return to his family. With
Tom Hardy, Domhnall Gleeson and Will
Poulter. Written by Mark L. Smith &
Alejandro G. Inarritu. Directed by
Inarritu. (2:36) R.
“Sisters” — As written by Paula Pell
and directed by Jason Moore, the idea to
apply the structure of a teenage bestnight-ever party movie to a tale of middle-aged adults tends to smother stars
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler under
comedic complications and unnecessary
asides. (1:58) R.
“Spectre” — Some of the individual
stunts and action set pieces in this latest
James Bond film temporarily hold our
interest, but the story itself is not convincing on its own terms, playing like a
series of boxes that need to be checked
off and then forgotten. (2:28) PG-13.
“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” —
Though a definite improvement on the
last three abortive “Star Wars” prequels,
this much-anticipated effort is only at its
best in fits and starts, its success
dependent on who of its mix of franchise
veterans and first timers is on the
screen. (2:16) PG-13.

‘Revenant’ leads Oscar nominations with 12
NEW YORK (AP) — The brutal frontier
saga “The Revenant” leads the 88th annual Academy Awards with 12 nominations,
while the acting categories were again
filled entirely by white performers.
The strong showing for “The Revenant,”
including a best actor nod for Leonardo
DiCaprio, follows its win at the Golden
Globes. It sets director Alejandro Inarritu
for a possible back-to-back win following
his best-picture winning “Birdman” last
year.
George Miller’s “Mad Max: Fury Road”
followed with 10 nominations, including
best picture. Ridley Scott’s sci-fi epic “The
Martian” landed seven nominations,
including best picture, but no best director
nod for Scott.
Eight films were nominated for best picture. The other five were: Tom McCarthy’s
investigative journalistic procedural
“Spotlight,” Steven Spielberg’s Cold War
thriller “Bridge of Spies,” Adam McKay’s
Michael Lewis adaptation “The Big
Short,” the mother-son captive drama
“Room” and the ‘50s Irish immigrant tale
“Brooklyn.”
Left on the outside were Todd Haynes’
acclaimed lesbian romance “Carol” and
the N.W.A biopic “Straight Outta
Compton.”
The acting nominees, which notably
omitted Idris Elba for “Beasts of No
Nation” and Benicio Del Toro for
“Sicario,” gave the Academy of Motion
Pictures, Arts and Sciences an awkward
repeat of the “OscarsSoWhite” backlash
that followed last year’s acting nominees.
Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs
has since redoubled efforts to diversify the
academy’s membership, and slated Chris
Rock to host this year’s Feb. 28 ceremony.
Alongside DiCaprio, the nominees for
best actor are: Matt Damon (“The
Martian”), Michael Fassbender (”Steve
Jobs”), Eddie Redmayne (“The Danish
Girl”) and Bryan Cranston (”Trumbo”).
One big name omitted was Johnny Depp
The Associated Press
ABOVE: Tom Hardy is shown in a scene from, “Mad Max:Fury Road.” The film was
nominated for an Oscar for best picture today. BELOW: Matt Damon is shown in a
scene from the film, “The Martian.” Damon was nominated for an Oscar for best
actor and the film is among the nominees for best picture.

for his Whitey Bulger in “Black Mass.”
The best actress field is led by favorite
Brie Larson for “Room,” along with
Jennifer Lawrence (for “Joy,” making her,
at 25, the youngest four-time nominee),
Cate Blanchett (“Carol”), Saoirse Ronan
(”Brooklyn”) and Charlotte Rampling
(“45 Years”).
After seemingly slipping in an unpredictable awards season, “Spotlight”
showed particularly strength Thursday,
landing six nominations including best
director for McCarthy, best screenplay for
McCarthy and Josh Singer and best supporting actor for Mark Ruffalo.
Best supporting actor is led by a comeback story for Sylvester Stallone, reprising
his role as Rocky Balboa in “Creed.” His
stiffest competition is seen as acclaimed
theater actor Mark Rylance for “Bridge of
Spies.” Also nominated were Tom Hardy
(“The Revenant”) and Christian Bale
(”The Big Short”).
“I am incredibly humbled by this honor,”
Stallone wrote in an email. “I was not
expecting it ... especially at this time in my
life. I am certainly grateful to the artists
and collaborators who helped make it possible.”
As expected, Pixar’s “Inside Out” landed
a best animated feature nod, as did the
Charlie Kaufman-penned “Anomalisa,”
“Shaun the Sheep Movie,” “Boy and the
World” and “When Marnie Was There.”
The foreign language category drew
films from Hungary (“Son Of Saul”),
France (”Mustang”), Jordan (“Theeb’),
Denmark (”A War”) and Colombia
(“Embrace the Serpent”).
Though some fans had hoped for a better
showing, the box-office behemoth “Star
Wars: The Force Awakens” failed to land a
best picture nomination. It instead scored
five technical nods for editing, score, visual effects, sound mixing and sound editing.
20th Century Fox had an especially good
day, led by “The Revenant” and “The
Martian.”

Undaunted by challenge, Hue Jackson takes on Browns
CLEVELAND (AP) — Seated on the
dais next to his new boss, Browns coach
Hue Jackson was
reminded that owner
Jimmy
Haslam
recently claimed it
may take several
years to fix his football team.
“I’m glad he said
that,” Jackson said,
JACKSON
smiling and grabbing
Haslam’s arm. “That makes me feel a little
better.”
Unlike the construction going at their
headquarters, the Browns don’t have a
completion date.
Picked over other quality candidates
because of his background in the NFL and
openness to embracing Cleveland’s
restructured, forward-thinking front office,
Jackson was hired as the Browns’ eighth
coach since 1999 on Wednesday.
The 50-year-old Jackson has earned a
reputation for being an offensive innovator
as well as being tough but fair with his
players. He is undaunted by the challenge
of turning around a team that has been
stuck in a perpetual cycle of losing for
more than a decade. Cincinnati’s former
offensive coordinator backed out of a
scheduled interview with the New York
Giants, a pillar of stability, to join the
Browns — after some discussion about
Johnny Manziel.
He wanted to be here. And the Browns
wanted him.
Cleveland’s first win in 2016.
Jackson was the final candidate to interview with Haslam and his search committee, the meeting taking place the day after
the Bengals were eliminated in the wildcard game by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Browns met with Jackson again on
Tuesday and Haslam offered him the job
on Wednesday.
“Hopefully, the third time’s the charm,”
Haslam said, referring to his unsuccessful
hires since 2012 of Rob Chudzinski and
Mike Pettine, fired on Jan. 3. “We got the
right guy for the Cleveland Browns. He is
smart. He’s tough. He’s confident. He is
competitive. He has been a head coach
before. He has a great offensive mind. He
has a tremendous track record developing
quarterbacks.”
After he walked into the team’s headquarters for the first time, Jackson was
greeted by team employees, who applauded when he laid out his goals during an
impromptu speech.
“We’ve got a lot of work to do,” Jackson
told the gathering of secretaries, sales representatives and others. “We’re going to chase
greatness here, that’s for sure. That’s what
we’re interested in doing. The AFC North,
we want to win the division championship.
We want to go to the Super Bowl and win
that, too. That’s what it’s all about.”
Jackson was fired after one season in
Oakland in 2011, and that failure pushed
him to find another chance.
What’s next?
Rams face huge tasks before
reaping big rewards from LA move
LOS ANGELES (AP) — When
the Rams take the field for their
regular season opener in
September, they will end the
NFL’s 21-year journey back to a
sprawling, vibrant city that loves
both a spectacle and a winner.
September is a long way away,
though. The Rams have an
incredible amount of work to do
before they can truly call Los
Angeles home again.
They must decide where to play
on Sundays until their palatial,
billion-dollar new home in
Inglewood is completed in 2019.
They must find or build a training complex to be their home for
the other six days of the week,
and their players, coaches and
key employees must find homes
close to it. They’ve got to move
untold tons of equipment from
the franchise’s current base in
Earth City, Missouri, to their new
home 1,800 miles west.
They’ve also got to decide what
to wear: The current uniforms or
their classic LA blue and gold?
After that, all they’ve got to do is
hire hundreds of new employees,
sell tens of thousands of tickets
and corporate sponsorships, establish charity connections to restore
community ties and promote their
product to 18 1/2 million people
who have been getting along just
fine without pro football.
And if the Rams truly hope to
succeed, it would really help for
local boy Jeff Fisher to put a winning team on the field in
September.
The franchise hasn’t publicly
announced how it will do any of
that. Rams employees spent
Wednesday learning about the
months of hard work ahead, and
Rams spokesman Artis Twyman
said the team hasn’t made any
logistical decisions yet about the
move.
But if the Rams pull it off with
no major missteps and a reasonably successful on-field product,
this move could be extraordinarily rewarding for owner Stan
Kroenke
and
his
lavish
Inglewood stadium complex.
“If they didn’t believe that, they
wouldn’t have paid to move
now,” said David Carter, the
executive director of the Sports
Business Institute at the
University
of
Southern
California. “They want to be very
careful coming back into
Southern California because of
the previous failures. They knew
they had to get it right this time
around, and I believe that they
think they’ve got the right business model.”
The Rams haven’t formally
secured a home stadium for next
season, although they appear
likely to return to the Coliseum,
their home from 1946-79, after
the Rose Bowl expressed no
interest in fostering an NFL team
last year. USC athletic director
Pat Haden, the former Rams
quarterback, plans to talk with
the Rams soon about returning to
the Trojans’ 93-year-old home,
which is managed by the school.
The Rams would be a financial
windfall for USC, which wants to
make $270 million in upgrades.
Haden said its current lease with
the Coliseum Commission
allows for only one NFL team to
use the arena, although it could
be amended if the Chargers
decide to move as well.
When the Rams spent two days
in Oxnard, California, last August
for training camp, a widespread
rumor claimed the Rams are interested in building a permanent base
in Thousand Oaks, the upscale
suburb 35 miles west of downtown Los Angeles.
Although the Rams haven’t confirmed that plan, Kroenke lives in
Malibu, and Thousand Oaks is only
a picturesque canyon drive away.
“I’ve had a home in the area for
20 years,” Kroenke said Tuesday.
“It will be a lot of fun for me, as I
spend a lot of time out there anyway, to move forward, to look forward and build a great stadium for
our league and for Los Angeles.”
The players have a bit of time to
get settled in LA. The Rams held
their minicamp and organized
team activities in June last season,
and while Fisher has scheduled
their offseason workouts for May
in other years, that plan typically
isn’t set for three more months.
The Rams’ ticket office was
closed Wednesday, but it will
have plenty of work to do after a
temporary venue is chosen. The
NFL schedule usually isn’t finalized until mid-April, and the
Rams will have only seven regular-season home games in 2016,
playing the eighth in London
against the New York Giants.
Carter thinks the team’s marketing department will need a smart
plan to re-introduce the Rams,
who broke hearts in 1994 with
their departure.
“I think it’s appropriate, and
would be helpful, to have the
right kind of ‘We’re back’ campaign,” Carter said. “With the
passage of time, people might
give them a little bit of a pass on
how it played out 20 years ago.
But simply relying on history and
mythology is not going to get it
done. They need to take a fresh
look at this market and make sure
they’re really involved in all
aspects of Southern California.”

In this Aug. 22, 2015, file photo, New York Giants offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo confers
with quarterbacks Eli Manning, left, and Ryan Nassib, right, during the first half of a preseason
NFL football game in East Rutherford, N.J. McAdoo will replace Tom Coughlin as head coach.
Giants hire McAdoo
to replace Coughlin
By TOM ROCK
Newsday
It’s Ben McAdoo. It was
always Ben McAdoo.
The offensive coordinator Eli
Manning wanted to keep, the
first candidate
the
Giants interviewed for
their headcoaching
v a c a n c y,
and the man
m a n y
thought
MCADOO
eventually
would replace Tom Coughlin
when McAdoo was hired two
years ago, will become the 18th
head coach in franchise history.
Multiple sources told Newsday
the team is expected to make an
official announcement Thursday
morning. The two sides were
working on finalizing a deal
Wednesday night.
McAdoo, 38, also interviewed
for the Eagles job, and their
interest in him may have
pushed the Giants toward making a decision when they did.
McAdoo, according to a source,
“wanted the New York job from
the beginning.” And it’s not as
if he wasn’t a strong candidate
prior to the possibility of leaving for an NFC East rival.
“I think our offense certainly
improved,” co-owner John
Mara said in praise of McAdoo
last week. “I think he’s proven
himself to be a very good
teacher, has a very good handle
on our offense. I think he communicates very well. I think he
shows some leadership skills. I
think he has some good qualities.”
His players were more effusive.
“I think we’ve done good
things and I feel very comfortable,” Manning said last week
while stumping for McAdoo to
remain with the team. “I think
we work well.”
According to one source,
McAdoo will bring former
Dolphins head coach Joe
Philbin to the Giants as offensive coordinator. Philbin and
McAdoo worked together as
assistants in Green Bay. He is
also expected to retain defensive
coordinator
Steve
Spagnuolo, who interviewed
for the head coach job as well.
The Giants interviewed four
candidates besides McAdoo
and Spagnuolo: former Bills
head coach Doug Marrone, former Falcons head coach Mike
Smith, Lions defensive coordinator Teryl Austin, and Adam
Gase, the former Bears offensive coordinator who was hired
as the Dolphins’ head coach.
The team was scheduled to
interview Hue Jackson on
Thursday, but he was hired by
the Browns.
McAdoo was the first interview, and it took place before
the echoes of Coughlin’s fiery
farewell address had finished
rattling through the team’s
headquarters last Tuesday.
McAdoo was hired to fix a
“broken” offense two years ago,
and with the help of Eli
Manning and Odell Beckham
Jr. he seemed to do that. Despite
two 6-10 seasons that led to the
departure
of
Coughlin,
McAdoo’s offense finished
2014 ranked 10th and were
ranked eighth in 2015. The
Giants scored 420 points this
season, the fifth-highest total in
franchise history.
McAdoo, who was born and
raised in Homer City, Pa.,
attended Indiana University of
Pennsylvania. His first coaching job was at Michigan State in
2001 and his first NFL job was
with the Saints in 2004. He
coached with the Packers from
2006-13, first as a tight ends
coach and then as quarterbacks
coach, before he was hired by
the Giants as offensive coordinator.
“Ben is the ultimate preparation
individual,” Packers coach Mike
McCarthy said this weekend.
“He’s prepared for this opportunity for a long time. He’s paid his
dues. He’s earned his stripes. I’m
real excited for the opportunities
in front of him.”

Flyers’ Evgeny Medvedev into the boards during the first period of an NHL hockey game Wednesday, in Philadelphia.
Simmonds, Streit lead
Flyers past Bruins 3-2
PHILADELPHIA (AP) —
The streaking Philadelphia
Flyers are riding high on confidence.
Mark Streit and Wayne
Simmonds scored third-period
goals to lead Philadelphia to a
3-2 comeback victory over the
Boston Bruins on Wednesday
night for their fourth straight
win.
Jakub Voracek had a goal and
two assists and Claude Giroux
assisted on all three goals for
Philadelphia. The Flyers won
their sixth straight at home.
“It’s all about confidence,”
Giroux said. “Right now we
have it, and we have to make
sure we keep it.”
Loui Eriksson and Kevan
Miller scored for Boston,
which has just two wins in its
last 10 games.
Simmonds tied it with 9:50
left and Streit scored 1:22 later
on a rebound that beat goalie
Tuukka Rask from a sharp
angle. It was Streit’s fourth
goal of the season. The
defenseman missed six weeks
in November and December
following groin surgery.
“I just tried to get it on net
and luckily it went in,” Streit
said. “You can just feel the
team has a lot of confidence.
We are going in the right direction. We don’t panic. The
atmosphere in the locker room
is great. It’s a lot of fun to
come to the rink.”
Simmonds followed up his
own shot and beat Rask on the
short side to tie the game.
The victory comes at a pivotal stretch for the Flyers, who
play their next eight games
against Eastern Conference
teams. All but Toronto, the

Hakstol said.
Jim Simpson dies at 88
BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) —
Sportscaster Jim Simpson has
died. He was 88.
ESPN says he died Wednesday
in Scottsdale, Arizona, after a
short illness. Simpson worked for
NBC, ABC, CBS and TNT, and
when he joined ESPN in 1979, he
gave the fledgling cable sports
network instant credibility.
In 1998, Simpson received the
Lifetime Achievement Award at
the Sports Emmy Awards. ESPN
founder Bill Rasmussen calls
him “a television legend.”
Simpson called 14 Olympics,
16 Major League Baseball AllStar games, six Super Bowls and
six World Series for TV or radio.
He worked for NBC from 196479, handling AFL and later NFL
broadcasts.
His television career started in
1949, when he left a Maryland
radio station for a job at the new
Channel 9 in Washington.
NEW YORK (AP) — With
Spike Lee barking at referees
from a sideline seat and the
Knicks wearing their white uniforms, it felt like a game at
Madison Square Garden.
The Nets were the ones on their
home floor, though, and they left
it as winners for the first time in
more than a month.
Brook Lopez scored 20 points,
Thaddeus Young had 19 points
and 11 rebounds, and Brooklyn
ended its 10-game home losing
streak with a 110-104 victory on
Wednesday night.
The Nets were energized by a
rare sellout crowd this season,
even if it appeared decorated
with at least as much Knicks blue
and orange as Brooklyn black.
“The environment was so much
fun out there,” Lopez said. “It
was just live and if we could get
something like that each and
every night and we earn that
respect and we get people coming to the game, it’s something
great to feed off of.”
The Nets also stopped a fivegame overall skid with their first
victory under interim coach Tony
Brown, who took over when
coach Lionel Hollins was fired
and general manager Billy King
was reassigned on Sunday.
“Games like this, it’s going to
help turn our fan base around,”
Brown said. “If we continue to
play in this kind of fashion, we’ll
fill the seats — but we’ve got to
show them first. It’ll take time,
but tonight was a good start.”
Joe Johnson made two key
jumpers in the final 2 minutes
and finished with 14 points,
seven rebounds and six assists for
the Nets in their first home victory since beating Philadelphia on
Dec. 10.
“Hopefully we can build something off of it but yeah, it feels great
to get a big win,” Johnson said.
Derrick Williams tied his career
high with 31 points for the
Knicks, who played without
leading scorer Carmelo Anthony
and had their two-game win
streak snapped.
The Knicks had a two-point lead
with 5 minutes to play before the
Nets took control with a 10-2 run
that made it 100-94 after the second of Johnson’s consecutive baskets. Lopez had the first basket in
the run in outplaying twin brother
Robin, who finished with nine
points and 12 rebounds.
Anthony sprained his right
ankle Tuesday in a victory over
Boston. Lance Thomas got the
start in Anthony’s place but it
was Williams, the former No. 2
overall selection, who picked up
his offense.
Arron Afflalo had 18 points and
Jose Calderon 16 for the Knicks,
but Kristaps Porzingis shot just 5
for 17 on his way to 12 points and
Curry scores 38, but Warriors lose
DENVER (AP) — Danilo

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) —
Buddy Hield scored 26 points to

GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) —
Jaron Blossomgame scored 17
points, including the clinching
dunk with 13.5 seconds left, to
lift Clemson over Duke.
Coupled with Sunday’s win
over then No. 16 Louisville, it’s
the first time the Tigers (11-6, 41 Atlantic Coast Conference)
have beaten consecutive ranked
opponents since closing the 1989
season with victories over Duke
and Georgia Tech.
This one started like a typical
Blue Devils blowout, with Duke
taking a 28-16 lead midway
through the opening half. Instead,
the Tigers hung tough to beat
Duke (14-3, 3-1) for the second
time in three seasons.
Grayson Allen led Duke with
17 points, three off his season
average.

Mayfield’s Brendan Gifford (3) goes past Northville’s Jacob Coupas (22) and Michael
Kalkbrenner (23) for a layup during Wednesday’s game in Mayfield.
Mayfield,
from page 24
Reidell, who came in having
scored 30 or more points in four
of his previous five games, didn’t score until hitting three free
throws with 5:16 left in the
fourth quarter and notched his
only field goal of the game on a
fast-break layup with 3:12 to
play.
“We knew, being that
(Reidell) was so close to 1,000,
they were going to come out
with some kind of defense to
try and shut him down,”
Northville
coach
John
Karbowski III said. “They did a
nice job. It’s tough when you
have two guys guarding you.”
The younger Reidell brother,
5-foot-5 freshman Nate Reidell
— the smallest player on the
court by a good six inches —
led the Falcons by scoring all
14 of his points in the second
half. Michael Kalkbrenner
chipped in 10 points for
Northville.
“We didn’t make enough
shots, even when we got open
looks,” Karbowski said. “It’s
just the difference between
making those shots and missing
them.”
On the other end, as well as
Mayfield spread the ball
around, it was Gifford who
came up with points at the
biggest moments. The junior
point guard closed the first half
on a personal 8-0 run to push
Mayfield’s lead to 16, and
when Northville closed the gap
to 10 points in the final two
minutes, it was Gifford who
provided a gorgeous driving

Bryan Stanavich named to
Class A All-State 1st Team
Dale Stanavich earns honorable mention
The list of honors for
Amsterdam High School senior
running back Bryan Stanavich
continued
to
pile
up
Wednesday as he became the
first Rugged Rams player since
2007 to be named to the New
York State Sportswriters
Association’s Class A All-State
Football First Team.
Stanavich, the leading rusher
in Amsterdam history and a
three-time winner of The
Recorder’s
High
School
Football Offensive Player of
the Year award, ran for a
school-record 1,627 yards and
scored 26 touchdowns in leading the Rams to a Section II
Class A championship and state
semifinal berth in 2015.
The 5-foot-11, 180-pound
senior — a second-team allstate selection in 2014 — finished his career by passing
Justice Smith as Amsterdam’s
career leader in rushing yards
(4,255), touchdowns (71) and
points scored (428). Stanavich
is the first Amsterdam player
selected to the all-state firstteam since Vinnie Nicosia was
tabbed as a first-team defensive
back for the 2007 season.
Stanavich was one of only
two Section II players named to
the first team in Class A, along
with Green Tech defensive
back Raki Johnson.
Also on the first team were two

members of the Our Lady of
Lourdes team that knocked
Amsterdam out of the state playoffs — quarterback Dean Rotger
and wide receiver Luke Timm.
Also honored by NYSSWA
was Dale Stanavich, The
Recorder’s 2015 Co-Defensive
Player of the Year, who earned
honorable mention as a defensive back after racking up more
than 150 tackles during the season and contributing five interceptions during Amsterdam’s
postseason run.
Quarterbacks Jack Coan of
Sayville and Tyree Brown of
Buffalo South Park shared

honors in Class A.

MAYFIELD — Harley Fuller
has known Northville Falcons
junior guard Danny Reidell long
enough for the first-year
Mayfield boys basketball coach
to consider Reidell almost like a
part of his family.
“Danny’s like my little brother,” Fuller said.
With that familiarity also comes
the understanding that Reidell is
one of the most explosive scorers
in Section II, so for Wednesday
night’s
Western
Athletic
Conference matchup, Fuller
decided to gamble. He sent the
Panthers onto the court playing a
triangle-and-two defense, with
the two — usually Garrett
Delaney and Jay Sweeney —
double-teaming Reidell the entire
night and letting his other three
defenders try to slow down the
remaining four Northville players
on the court.
The risk paid off. The doubleteam limited Reidell to just seven
points, leaving him 13 shy of
1,000 for his career, and the three
Mayfield defenders that made up
the triangle kept the rest of the
Falcons in check. Meanwhile,
point guard Brendan Gifford
powered his way to 23 points and
eight rebounds as Mayfield
notched a 62-48 win.
“I took a chance, and this time it
worked out,” Fuller said of the
Panthers’ defensive gambit. “I
have nothing but respect for
Danny, and obviously that defense
showed it. He’s a great player. I’m
just happy to get the win.”
Jared Albertin added 12 points
and seven rebounds for Mayfield,
while Tommy Gates added nine
points, Delaney scored eight and
Sweeney contributed six points

and eight assists.
The passing was what made
Fuller happiest. The Panthers
moved the ball expertly against
Northville’s multiple zone
defense, leading to 16 assists on
the team’s 23 field goals.
“We really moved the ball well.
We played together,” Fuller said.
“I’m really proud of our kids. We
stress (making the extra pass) and
today we really put it together.”
Despite playing 4-on-3 for
much of the game on the offensive end with Reidell drifting to
the outside while being shadowed by Sweeney and Mayfield,
Northville took a while to find its
offensive rhythm and trailed 3418 at halftime.
