Witness Reichel testifies on $25 contribution in Sheeran case
Prosecutors seek to impeach Kathleen Reichel by reading grand jury and trial testimony about a $25 spring 1976 donation to the county Republican Committee. Reichel says the gift was her choice and not prompted by a conversation with Richard G. Sheeran. The judge rules to allow impeachment using conflicting grand jury and trial remarks to frame credibility.

Clam prices rise as demand outpaces supply in Albany
Albany AP reports Labor Day clam prices jump to up to 1.89 per dozen amid dwindling supply. Buyers switch to mussels at 3 pounds for 1.00 while markets curtail large orders. State official Anthony Taormina warns supplies may rebound after the holiday but long term outlook remains poor. New York supplies half the nation’s clams, with a crop drop from eight million pounds in 1874 to seven million last year. Restocking could require 4 to 6 years under current harvesting rates.
