The Saratoga Phillies NYCBL baseball team is looking to rebound after Tuesday's 0-6 loss against Amsterdam as they travel back to their home field at the East Side Recreation Field for a rematch this Thursday.

In past articles, I have written about how fortunate we are to have such vast recreational resources and natural beauty available to us right in our back yard.

Golf activity was highlighted by the Saratoga County Amateur Championship hosted by the McGregor Links Country Club. Over the past weekend, 80 of the most proficient golfers who are residents of Saratoga County competed for the coveted title.

A visit to Doc Peacock's Greenfield Country Medicine is said by many to be a comforting return to family medicine as it was practiced prior to the advent of HMOs and before the patient became a faceless fifteen-minute time slot on the office calendar.

The 17th century English poet John Milton must have been thinking of me when, in 1669, he wrote Paradise Lost. And then he wrote its sequel, Paradise Regained, in 1671. That is exactly how I felt after playing the Ocean Edge Golf Club, the only Nicklaus-designed course on Cape Cod.

Back packing is not for everyone!

Brett Hearn romped to his fourth win of the season last Friday night at Albany Saratoga Speedway. Possibly still angered by a late race call last week that placed him third instead of second, the "New Jersey Jet" drove like someone with a point to prove. Starting 12th on the grid, Hearn was slicing through traffic and quickly put himself into the Top Five by Lap 5. One lap later, Hearn made a daring move between Don Ronca and Vince Quenneville that put him second just as the Yellow Flag waved for last week's winner, Jeff Trombley, who spun out in the first turn. On the restart, Hearn was now sitting next to Elmo Reckner who had paced the field up to this point. Reckner got the jump on Hearn when the Green came out but a slight miscue by Reckner in the fourth turn on Lap 7 was all Hearn needed as he flew by and pulled away. The race was now for second. Reckner gave up second to Matt DeLorenzo on Lap 10 but, just five laps later, Ken Tremont, Jr. blasted by DeLorenzo where he would stay for the remaining 15 laps.
