The long and short of it is the Greek Economy is on the verge of collapse. The powers behind the Euro have refused to lend any more Euros to Greece unless the Greece Government agrees to a severe austerity program and payback plan. A plan arranged by the Euro powers. Now this is the short of it. The Greeks rejected Europe’s bailout terms. It appears that terms were too harsh and the Greeks knew they could not comply so why try? The Greece financial problem is long standing. It appears that German Chancellor Angela Merkel first agreed in 2010 to bail out Greece. At that time Chancellor Merkel met with weighted resistance from various political groups, newspapers and economists. In other words a strong resistance is demanding that Greece should not be offered any more financial help and basically be dropped out of the Euro Group of Countries. I have predicted that Germany would become the most powerful nation in Europe and now it seems whatever side Germany takes on financial issues in the European Euro group is the way all of Europe will go. A most powerful Germany again — shudder. Hats off to R-Senator James L. Seward of Oneonta. Senator Seward, a Republican and staunch critic of the Safe Act, announced that the state republican majority has secured a legally binding memorandum of understanding with the office of Governor Cuomo suspending further action. In other words, for the time being the intrusive, expensive, unwieldy database and background check for simple ammunition sales will not be going into effect in our state. It appears to be a clear victory for second amendment rights in New York State. Keep up the fight and maybe we can have the New York Safe Act wiped out. Keep on keeping up the New York Safe Act signs. WANTED HERKIMER Voght’s Merely things to think about: • Insanity and poverty are hereditary you can get one or both from your kids.

Handling of government money is a sacred trust. Government employees — politicians should be morally and duty bound to administer government funds with great caution. It is the property of all of the people they serve. It is not like a pawn to hand out to use for their personal whims, or to support only their political party. Otsego County, home of a famous golf course, has hundreds of Canada geese flying around on it uncooked. During my youth I enjoyed Roy Rogers and Gene Autry movies. But my heroes were the men of the business world. I read several biographies and autobiographies of men such as Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie and even J. P. Morgan the famous banker. It was told that one evening J.P. Morgan went to dinner at the home of a junior partner. Mrs. Smith, wife of the junior partner, gave instructions to her children and staff not to stare at Mr. Morgan’s extremely large nose or make comments about it. “Please,” she admonished, “do not mention the word nose in his presence.” The maid and children behaved as true troopers. At the end of the meal, Mrs. Smith said “Now Mr. Morgan, it’s time for tea and dessert, would you like a little sugar or lemon in your nose”?

If you decide to get killed by a drunken truck driver make sure your family sues, the truck manufacturer, not the driver who killed you. It won’t be fair or honest but will your family really care if they end up with a million bucks? Well – we hope to chat with you again next week. May God bless you and your family.

In today’s newspapers, believe it or not, a jury in Bainbridge, GA, after deliberating for two hours awarded the family of a 4-year-old boy $150 million. The boy was a passenger in a jeep when a car smashed into the rear of the jeep. The accident caused by the rear end crash caused a gas leak and set the jeep on fire, killing the child. The jury said the death was caused by the fire, which was the fault of the Jeep manufacturer — Fiat-Chrysler Automotive. What do you think? Was it the fault of the jeep manufacturer or the driver of the car that smashed into the jeep in which the boy was a passenger? Naturally some law firm’s share of the award was over $50 million.

Marshall of Lockport, NY. It consists of a short handle that has a blade cutter and a longer handle that has prongs and a jaw. It was invented to be a household tool that had multiple functions — including a vise, nut-cracker, wrench, pliers, tack puller, pruner, wire cutter, can opener and could grasp and move hot objects. The inner side of the shorter handle has a curved groove that allows the stud to catch and slide. A pivotal pin makes up part of the longer handle. The tool is able to provide different functions based on the movement of the handles and the projections at the end of each lever. The idea of incorporating several tools into one small portable unit dates back as far as 70 AD. During this time there is evidence of ancient Rome using a folding eating implement that consisted of a three-pronged fork, spatula, pick, spike and knife. Do you have your own Whatchamacallit?

While most students will now be attending the Oppenheim-Ephratah school, Schoff, going into 3rd grade this fall, says she will be transferring to Canajoharie. “I think it’s very sad,” said Joyce Pollitt. “All of the kids are heartbroken.” Pollitt says she sees nothing positive about the closing.

Robbins, have always adhered to this philosophy.

A nearby village, which for most times of the year, was a sleepy, quiet place with a large central park, transformed itself one day each summer into a bustling, lively boom town on parade day. Complete with high school bands, service group floats, dance teams, baton twirlers, cheerleaders, horses and costumed walkers, the parade drew crowds that overflowed into the village streets and beyond. Even sophisticated business people turned a little loony on parade day by spoofing their own businesses with gags and crazily-decorated cars. On parade day we did the necessary chores early, cleaned up and set out for the village to try and get a good seat, or place to stand. Somehow, we never managed either, but as kids, we could generally thread ourselves through the rows of adults in front of us to get a good seat along the sidewalk. Then for a magical two hours, we would watch the parade MEYERS LANDSCAPING & CONTRACTING INC.

Sometimes we were lucky enough to grab some candy or souvenirs flung from the floats and sometimes we just had to wait until after the parade to get a hotdog and soda in the park. If for some reason, you couldn’t attend the parade yourself, you expected the designated family member to relate all the details with precision. They had to tell you what floats were best, what band played the most inspiring march, and how many horses pranced along. Some families took the entire parade day away from their farms and small town lives to savor a day away from work and be together. We often returned home to a picnic, a rest in the afternoon and resumed our farm chores in the evening. Even so, parade day captured the essence of summer’s different life rhythm in taking one day to do something different. I’m glad many small and large towns still take the time to celebrate with summer parades. There is something unique about people in a community coming together to celebrate — to take a day apart from commuting away and instead gathering together.

Q: I picked up a Hummel figurine at a garage sale for $50. It is No. 4, “What’s That?” When was it made, and how much is it worth? — Susan, St. Louis, MO A: I found your figurine referenced in “The Official M.I. Hummel Price Guide” by Heidi Ann Von Ricklinghausen and published by Krause Books. According to this guide, your figurine was issued in 1997 as an exclusive preview edition for members of the M.I. Hummel club. It is valued by Voin Ricklinghausen in the $105-$115 range. Q: This may seem like an unusual question, but several weeks ago I purchased a salt and pepper set at a flea market, and when I got home, I discovered that I could not unscrew the tops. I don’t want to use too much pressure since I could break one or both. Do you have any suggestions? — Susan, Evergreen, CO A: Try this. Place your saltshakers upside down in a small bowl of white vinegar. Let the set soak overnight. This should solve your problem. Q: I have a doll made by Mattel and called “Shopping Sheryl.” I think I got it for my birthday in about 1970. — Elizabeth, Naperville, IL A: Your doll was, indeed, manufactured in 1970 and is valued at $65. I found it in “200 Years of Dolls” by Dawn Herlocher and published by Krause Books. Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, 628 Virginia Dr., Orlando, FL 32083, or send e-mail to [email protected] .

(c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc. by Larry Cox Q: I have a Teddy bear from about 1910. It is beige mohair with felt pads and shoe button eyes. It is 20inches in length. — Barbara, Canton, Ohio A: In 1902, Theodore Roosevelt was on a hunting trip in Mississippi. When he refused to shoot a bear cub, newspaper cartoonist Clifford Berryman produced a drawing he entitled “Drawing the Line in Mississippi.” That drawing inspired Morris Michtom, founder of the Ideal Toy Company, to produce a line of toy bears that he named “Teddy’s Bears.” That’s how it all began. I have contacted several collectors, and they seem to agree that your bear would sell in the $500 to $750 range. As with most collectibles, condition is paramount. Q: I have three pieces of Roseville pottery that I received from my aunt a number of years ago. Can you please help me with how much they are worth? — Patricia, Fiskeville, Rhode Island A: The same week that I received your letter, I receive several others, including a request from Louis in Albuquerque, New Mexico, asking about the value of books and Betty in Peoria, Arizona, who has a rocking chair and asked for an appraisal by me. Let me answer all of these requests at one time. As I have often stated in this column, I do not provide appraisals. Occasionally I share values, but they come from other sources, including reference books and price guides. If you have something that you think is valuable, you should have an appraisal done by a certified professional. There are two types of appraisals: verbal, which is generally less expensive, and written, which is best for insurance purposes. Q: My dad is a Vietnam veteran. Recently, he and I looked through his old duffle bag. Among his uniforms, he has combat boots, a battlefield Bible, some photographs, a canteen and other assorted items. Are they worth keeping? — Carl, Rio Rancho, New Mexico A: Most war memorabilia is collectible. One of the better price guides is “Warman’s Vietnam War Collectibles” by David Doyle and published by Krause Books. Incidentally, vintage military combat boots are extremely popular and some are selling in the $35 to $50 range. Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, P.O.

Combine the right plants and they are easy to maintain, at- tractive, and perfect for those with small spaces or little time to garden. With so many new plants to choose from, including perennials and even tropical plants in addition to annual flowers, how do you decide? Chris Schlegel, head grower for D.S. Cole Growers in New Hampshire, has some sugges- tions. She says you should consider both cultural needs for your choices, and basic design principles. Since your choices will be in the same container, make sure they have a similar tolerance for sun or shade. Make sure the moisture and fertility requirements are compatible. Use plants with similar vigor, so that one strong selection doesn’t overtake the planter and grow over less vigorous ones. Reading the labels on plants, and asking professionals at complete garden stores, can help answer these questions. Then consider design. For container gardens to have the most impact, three various plant forms should be used. There should be tall plants that give an upright character to the planter, mounded plants to add volume, and cascading or trailing plants to visually soften the edges. You often see these referred to as “thrillers” for the upright or unusual that attract attention first, “fillers” that add the mass and fill in, and the “spillers” that cascade over the side. Thrillers are big and bold, often with large leaves. Thrillers can be plants with unusual foliage, vibrant colors, or unique form. Fillers are often foliage, filling in or weaving about the thriller. Spillers help soften pot edges and sides, and visually anchor the pot to the ground. Often they contrast in color or texture with the other plants. You should use a variety of plant textures to add interest. Texture is the visual effect created, usually by size or shapes of leaves. Mixed planters can be either symmetrical and formal, or asymmetrical and informal. To be symmetrical, visually divide the container in half, and either side should be the same as the other. To create symmetry, use even numbers of plants, and ones that remain discreet and don’t grow together. To be most aesthetically pleasing, the plant size should be one to two times the height of the container. Generally there are four color schemes you might consider. Monochromatic color schemes rely on various shades of a single color, such as the yellow or red combinations described above. Polychromatic combinations are just the opposite, using a variety of colors. The British are famous for such combinations, often using 10 or more different flowers and colors in the same planter. Analogous schemes use combinations of colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel, such as red and orange or blue and purple. Keep in mind that warm colors (red, orange, yellow) catch your attention and are seen from a distance, while the cool colors (green, blue, purple) are more soothing and should be seen at closer range. Complimentary color schemes make use of colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. One last color effect is to contrast, or “echo”, one color in a leaf for instance with another plant. Persian Shield, the mint-leaf, and the silver licorice plant are exam- ples of silver foliage being used to act as a neutral color, and to bring out other colors in combinations. White flowers also can be used effectively to separate colors that might otherwise clash. Don’t forget to consider herbs and vegetables in your combinations, either with flowers or by themselves. A colorful stake with tomatoes or beans in the center of a large pot might be surrounded with carrots as filler, and flowers as spillers. Or just surround them with beans to fill and spill. Consider colorful Swiss chard, or red-leaved lettuces, mixed in with flowers. There are quite a few ornamental and colorful peppers that blend well in container combinations. Wherever you go, watch for good design combinations and make note of them and the plants. You may want to hold plants next to each other when shopping in spring to gauge the effect. Don’t be afraid to just start combining plants. You’ll soon learn which you like and which work together better. The possibilities are almost infinite!

Grilling outdoors presents special food safety challenges, and the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) encourages backyard chefs to brush up on the basics of safe grilling for summertime outdoor cooking. The same food safety concepts that apply in the kitchen apply outdoors: cleanliness, thorough cooking, proper temperature control and separation of raw and cooked foods to prevent cross-contamination. Even without running water, refrigeration or a stove, grillers can take many measures to keep their food safe. Cleanliness: Everything that comes in contact with food needs to be as clean as possible, including dishes, hands, cutting boards and utensils. Hands are the number one vehicle for contamination and people should always wash them for at least 20 seconds with soap and warm water before preparing food and during preparation if you handle raw meat, fish or eggs. Hand sanitizers aren’t the perfect replacement for thorough hand washing, but they are the next best choice if running water is not available. Thorough Cooking: The cooking process is an important element in food safety. Cooking’s main function is to kill diseasecausing micro-organisms. To do this effectively, grillers should cook until the internal temperature reaches the recommended level as shown on a food thermometer. See a safe food temperature chart at vdacs.virginia.gov/foodsafety/safe tytips.shtml . This is particularly important when grilling since charcoal or wood grills can cook unevenly. Meat, poultry, fish, egg dishes and casseroles should be cooked thoroughly in one operation. When preparing food to take on the road, do not start the cooking process, interrupt it and plan to complete the cooking process later at the picnic site or stadium. Cook food thoroughly and then reheat it, or cook raw foods on the grill or over the campfire to the proper temperature. Proper Temperature Control: Bacteria tend to grow well in the temperature danger zone between 40 degrees Fahrenheit and 140 degrees Fahrenheit so to keep foods safe and good to eat, maintain cold foods below 40 degrees F and hot foods above 140 degrees F. When serving food, keep the two-hour rule in mind: Don’t leave perishable foods at room temperature for more than two hours. In warmer weather and when outdoors, reduce the amount of time the food is not refrigerated to no more than an hour. Separation of Raw and Cooked Foods: Don’t cross-contaminate. Keep raw meat, poultry, fish and their juices away from other food, even if it means using two coolers. Separation prevents bacteria on raw food from contaminating cooked foods. After cutting raw meats, wash cutting boards, utensils and surfaces with hot soapy water if possible. If not, use one cutting board or sheet for meats and poultry and another for items that won’t be cooked (salad greens, raw vegetables, fruits). Prep your fresh produce under running, potable water in the kitchen before packing for the grilling site, and resist the temptation to sample uncooked mixes which contain raw or partially cooked seafood or eggs. Remember to make food safety an essential ingredient every time you shop, prepare, cook or store food and take extra precautions when eating outdoors. Find additional food safety information, including VDACS’ guide, Keeping Your Food Safe, and a special children’s section at vdacs.virginia.gov/foodsafety/index.shtml .

When they’re ripe, they are the sweet taste of summer, whether eaten out of hand or in your favorite dessert. There are two types of peaches: Early peaches are clingstone (woody center pit adheres to flesh), and mid-summer peaches are freestone (woody pit falls out easily when fruit is cut in half). Clingstone peaches are firmer and better for canning, grilling or adding to savory cooked dishes. Freestone peaches are softer, juicer and more flavorful. Best of all, MAIL L L A C OR peaches are a good source of potassium, vitamin C, vitamin A, niacin and soluble fiber. Peaches also are considered a diuretic and a mild laxative. Peaches spoil very easily, even when unripe. Choose fragrant peaches that are unblemished and not too hard — they should yield slightly to the pressure of a thumb. Avoid peaches with green coloring, as they were probably picked too early. They’re not as sweet and won’t ripen properly. Peaches don’t get sweeter after they’re harvested, though fruit will become softer and juicer CLIP & SEND PO Box 121, Palatine Bridge, NY 13428 • Ph: 518-673-0111 OR 800-218-5586 $4.00/ 14 words $.10 each additional /Week Deadline Thursday Noon - Fill Out This Form OR Call Us To Place Your Reader Ad • READER AD FORM • Today’s Date________ COPY: ____ # of Weeks to Run ______Starting Issue Date (Saturday Date) (First 14 words $4.00, each additional word add 10¢ each) ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ 14 words - $4.00 ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ 24 words - $5.00 ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ (TELEPHONE NUMBERS = ONE WORD) 34 words - $6.00 Name (Print): ____________________________________________________________________ Farm/Company Name: ____________________________________________________________ Street: __________________________________________ County: ________________________ City: ______________________________________ State:______________ Zip: ____________ Phone #: ____________________ Fax #:__________________ Cell #: ____________________ Email Address: __________________________________________________________________ Payment Method: 6 Check/Money Order 6 American Express 6 Discover 6 Visa 6 MC Card #: ______________________________________________ Exp.

Look for skins that show background color of yellow or cream — the amount of red or pink “blush” on the fruit depends on variety and is not a reliable indicator of ripeness. Watch out for dark colored, mushy, bruised peaches that are overripe and beginning to spoil. Tan circles or spots on the skin are early signs of decay. Don’t pack peaches too closely, or they’ll spoil and cause nearby peaches to rot. Unripe peaches can be left to ripen at room temperature. This process can be hastened by placing them in a paper bag for a few days. Peaches taste best at room temperature and will keep for 3-4 days, slightly longer in the refrigerator. Wash the fruit just before eating. Peaches peel more easily if blanched for 1 minute, then cooled immediately in ice-cold water to stop the effect of the heat ... do not soak. The flesh of the peach tends to brown on contact with air. To prevent this, eat or cook the peach immediately, or sprinkle it with lemon or orange juice, or an ascorbic acid product. Freezing: Select fully ripe fruit. Peel, pit and slice. Treat to prevent darkening. Sugar pack: sprinkle fruit with desired amount of sugar; gently stir; allow fruit to stand until sugar dissolves; pack fruit into freezer container leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Syrup pack: Prepare a light, medium or heavy syrup of your choice. Add 1/2 cup syrup to freezer container; add sliced fruit and gently shake to pack fruit, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.

(Additional information provided by Susan MillsGray, Nutrition Specialist, Cass County, University of Missouri Extension.) Grilled Peaches with topping • 4 large, fresh, ripe peaches, halved • 1-1/2 tablespoons butter, melted • 2 tablespoons sugar • Lemon Honey Cream Topping (recipe follows) • 8 gingersnaps or vanilla wafers, crushed 1. Heat grill or stovetop grill pan, and grease the grill or pan with a neutral-flavored oil. When grill is hot, place peaches, cut-side down, on it for 5 minutes or until peaches soften and have grill marks. 2. Turn peaches cutside up; brush with melted butter and sprinkle each with sugar. Remove peaches from grill. Sprinkle half of crushed cookies on each peach. Top with Lemon Honey Cream Topping and sprinkle with remaining cookie mixture. Serves 4.

A/C service: keep your car cool when things heat up Sitting in traffic when temperatures soar without a properly functioning air conditioning (A/C) system is the last place most drivers want to be. To help avoid this uncomfortable situation, the non-profit Car Care Council recommends that motorists be car care aware and have their A/C system checked annually to make sure it is working at peak performance when they need it most. A vehicle’s heating, ventilating and air condi- tioning system (HVAC) keeps the interior cabin comfortable in any season by providing the right temperature and humidity level. Typical A/C service consists of the following steps: • Service technician vi- sually inspects hoses, lines, seals and other components for leaks as well as inspect the drive belt for cracks or damage. • Technician checks pressures to test operation, refrigerant charge and outlet temperatures. • If the system is found to be low on refrigerant, a leak test is performed to find the source of the leak. Keep in mind that if your vehicle is leaking refrigerant, it is damaging the ozone layer. • Refrigerant may be added if necessary to “top off” the system, although some states do not allow “topping off.” • A technician may also check for evidence of refrigerant cross-contamination, which is the mixing of refrigerants. • A/C service should also include a check of the compressor’s drive belt and tension. The Car Care Council also recommends that when having a vehicle’s HVAC system inspected, the cabin air filter be checked to make sure air is flowing properly into the car. “Making sure your A/C system is working properly will keep you cool and safe when you hit the road this summer,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. The Car Care Council is the source of information for the “Be Car Care Aware” consumer education campaign promoting the benefits of regular vehicle care, maintenance and repair to consumers.
