If you, or someone you know, has a child who will be five years of age on or before December 1, 2013, please contact the district registrar at 674-7050 extension 2819 to make sure that the child is listed on our school census. This will guarantee that you will receive all upcoming kindergarten information by mail. Registration paperwork should be hand delivered by the parent or guardian to the district registrar at the district office at the Averill Park High School during the month of February. Registration hours are Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 3:30 PM with extended evening hours on February 5th & 13th until 7 PM. Registration forms are accepted on a walk-in basis only. No appointment is required. All paperwork must be completed by 02-28-2013.

New York State Public Health Law, Section 2164, requires that all pupils must be immunized as follows for your child to attend school: 3 doses of diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (given as DTaP or DTP) 3 doses of polio vaccine (usually as IPV) 1 dose of mumps vaccine after 12 months of age 1 dose of rubella vaccine administered after 12 months of age 2 doses of measles vaccine, the first after 12 months of age and the second after 15 months of age.

The following are highlights of the January meeting of the Rensselaer County Legislature: Urges the New York State Public Service Commission to Investigate Fees – The Legislature is calling upon the New York Public Service Commission to look into the newest modem fee tacked on to residents monthly bills. The Minority Office emphasizes that customers do have a choice; they can continue to lease the modem provided by Time Warner Cable or purchase their own from a third-party retailer and won’t be charged the fee.

Urges the Governor and State Legislature to Enact Meaningful Reforms to Pre-school Special Education New York State’s Pre-School Special Education program provides essential services like speech, physical and occupational therapy to children between the ages of three and five years of age who have special needs. The challenge of the program in New York is that it is misaligned between the payer and the provider of services. Counties have no real role in the preschool special education program, yet counties pay 40.5% of the costs.

Introduced Legislation - This Legislative Body requests State law makers to provide comprehensive mandate relief during 2013 to ensure counties and local governments do not continue to be over-burdened by unfunded state and federal mandates and to ensure local budget stability and protection of needed local services.

Advocates for Rensselaer County Residents and New York State – The New York State Thruway Authority recently proposed a major toll increase without opportunity for public comment, and without convenient or accessible public hearings for residents and business affected by the proposed increase.

Acting in the best interests of the residents, the Rensselaer County Legislature requests a series of public hearings to be held across the state for any future toll increase or other state increase.

Next Meeting - The Legislature will hold its next meeting, Tuesday, February 12th, at 5:30 PM in the Legislative Chambers, located on the 3rd Floor of the Ned Pattison Government Center.

BRUNSWICK (BRITTONKILL) CSD SEEKS COMMUNITY INPUT As part of continued efforts to involve the Brunswick (Brittonkill) Central School District community in the budget development process, the district is offering a survey where residents can provide suggestions and give guidance about what information they need to better understand the 2013-14 budget.

The survey is currently available on the district website, www.brittonkill.k12.ny.us. The survey will continue through January 25. If residents do not have internet access, they can pick up a paper version of the survey at any school’s main office.

Rensselaer County Clerk Frank J. Merola is strongly urging Rensselaer County residents to process their registrations and renewals through County DMV after NYS DMV Processing centers reported major problems in registration processing equipment that is preventing these centers from issuing registration and sticker documents paid for after January 1, 2013.

“Due to defective document supply, anyone sending a registration or a renewal through the Utica processing center is receiving a letter from DMV stating that although their transaction has been processed, they cannot send any registration window sticker until they receive the new document supply. As a result, these drivers are in danger of being stopped by law enforcement and ticketed for driving an unregistered vehicle due to the state’s error.”

NYS DMV is instructing drivers to keep a copy of this letter with the most recent registration to present to law enforcement in the event of being stopped; a procedure Mr. Merola doesn’t think goes far enough to protect the driver. “Hopefully, law enforcement will accept this letter and not issue tickets for driving without a registration. But the onus is still on the driver to prove that they processed the registration and if they forget this letter, they will more than likely be ticketed for a violation.

I sincerely hope that the state would send these affected drivers a temporary registration to cover the period of time until they receive their permanent registration.”

Mr. Merola proposes a simple solution for County drivers about to register or to renew a registration. “I urge all county drivers to utilize County DMV in Troy for all their DMV business, including registrations and renewals. By registering and/or renewing in Troy, you will receive your registration form and sticker immediately. You will not have to wait weeks for some letter stating that although the transaction is complete and your money taken, they are unable to process at this time. Renewing in the County keeps a portion of that money in our County, which benefits all county residents.”

Mr. Merola encourages all County residents with questions regarding this or any other County Clerk related issue to contact him at 270-4080.

TVHS STUDENTS TO COMPETE IN ODYSSEY COMPETITION TVHS students will compete in the annual Odyssey of the Mind competition March 2 at Shenendehowa High School.

Two teams of five TVHS students will compete to see who can be most creative in solving a problem.

J. Craig Alexander, D.M.D. GENERAL DENTISTRY • 477-1008

THE BLOOMINGROVE SCHOOL Education was very important to early settlers of North Greenbush. We are fortunate to have a building still in existence which may have been the first school in the town. Today the building serves as an office for a CPA firm and is located two doors down from the Bloomingrove Reformed Church.

It is an example of the style of building often used for meeting houses in the Albany area in the 18th and early 19th century.

The building is a small, one story square shaped structure with a hipped roof, octagonal central cupola with arched openings.

You can see it from the parking lot of the Stewart’s store in Defreestville.

The structure dates from 1809-1820 and was used as a school until the late 1930’s or early 40’s. If anyone knows the exact date, please let me know (283-6384).

Before schools were established, I imagine schooling was undertaken by individual families. I have a copy of a receipt to Peter Defreest dated January 1, 1797 for teaching his daughter Catrina writing and spelling. We also must remember that many people, both male and female, could not read or write.

The property was deeded to the school trustees in 1809. The indenture states that “the inhabitants of the neighborhood are anxious and desirous to erect a house for the education and instruction of youth and the promotion of the gospel.”

This last phrase is important: early schools were taught by the local minister. In this case, the teacher was probably Rev. Nicholas J. Marselus who served as pastor for the Blooming Grove Reformed Church when it was built in 1817.

The early classes were taught in Dutch because the heritage of our earliest settlers was Dutch. Several years ago I took a group of Cub Scouts on a walking tour of the area. I told them the Dutch Pastor taught the school children and the language taught was Dutch. I asked them where the settlers came from.

One boy answered “Dutchland!” Oh well, he had the right idea.

By the late 1920’s costs for running the school increased from $1,800 to $2,800 in one year. The trend in education was to consolidate schools into larger districts. This would impact both Bloomingrove and Bell Top School, but that is a story for the next article.

LEAGUE of WOMEN VOTERS of RENSS. CO. ANNOUNCE PUBLIC POLICY FORUM

NY MILITARY MUSEUM PROGRAM on TRAITOR WHO WAS ONCE a HERO

The League of Women Voters of Rensselaer County announces that they will be hosting a public policy forum entitled: “Preserving Our Democracy: Campaign Finance Reform in New York State” on Saturday, February 2, from 10a.m. until noon.

The event will be held at the Arts Center of the Capital Region, 265 River Street, Troy, N.Y. in the Black Box Theatre. This event is open to the public. Free parking will be available in the public garage at the corner of River and Fulton Streets.

The program and discussion leaders will be Laura Ladd Bierman, Executive Director, League of Women Voters of NYS and Barbara Bartoletti, Legislative Directors, League of Women Voters of NYS. Criticisms of New York State’s campaign finance laws are plentiful and harsh. The contribution limits are far too high, enforcement is too lax, loopholes abound, and the influence of special interest groups and large donors is unfettered. There will be a public question and comment period. League members of the Capital Region, legislators and all public officials who run for office, and those contemplating running for public office are encouraged to attend. For questions, contact Irene Wynnyczuk at irenew@nycap.rr.com.

Please visit the website, www.lwvrc.org. ~ Submitted by Anne Burton, publicity director, League of Women Voters of Rensselaer County

January 26 Program Explores Early Exploits of Benedict Arnold.

Before he was a traitor, Benedict Arnold was an American hero and the New York State Military Museum and Friends of the Saratoga Battlefield will co-sponsor a program about one of his early exploits on January 26.

Presented by Revolutionary War historian and Saratoga National Battlefield seasonal ranger Larry Arnold, the talk will focus on one of Arnold’s early exploits, when he raided a British fort.

The talk:” Arnold on Arnold: May 18, 1775; The Day Benedict Arnold saves America’s Revolution” will be held at 3 p.m. on Saturday, January 26.

While Benedict Arnold is best known today for his failed plot to sell out the American Army at West Point, as well as General George Washington, Arnold was famous for his bold attacks against the British.

He led a night raid that captured Fort Ticonderoga early in the American Revolution, commanded a daring attack on Quebec City, and fought a naval battle in Lake Champlain which delayed a British attack on New York. During the Battle of Saratoga, he was wounded in the leg while leading the decisive charge that captured a major British position.

Admission to the museum and the program is free. For further information, you may call the museum at (518) 581-5100.

LEGISLATURE COLLECTS DONATIONS FOR ANIMAL SHELTER Legislator Leon Fiacco and Chairman of the Legislature Martin Reid check out some of the items col-lected for donation to the animal shelter.

The Rensselaer County Legislature majority conducted the annual holiday collection of food, toys and supplies for animals at the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society. The collection was organized by Linda Golden, a staffer at the legislative majority offices, and included a donation area in the lobby of the County Office Building where visitors and employees could drop off items. Thank you to everyone who donated items. To make a donation or to find out more about the shelter, visit www.mohawkhumane.org.

DRAMATIC FINAL ACT It was a dramatic final act for the Village Stage. The theater group operating in Troy has decided to call it quits. Joe Starzyk who has been the president for the last 18 months says, “It isn’t a sad day, but a happy one. When we took over 18 months ago, the group was broke and had been performing to dwindling audiences. We were profitable and played to nearly sold out venues. Aside from that, we were able to provide several free performances and provided a rising playwrights scholarship to a student from Ichabod Crane.”

As part of the dissolution, the group was able to provide extensive financial help to deserving groups. Soul Rebel Performance Troupe, Averill Park High School Drama Club and ARC of Rensselaer County were the beneficiaries. “We really wanted to support deserving groups that were doing something different. And we are thrilled to help provide opportunities to minority actors, disabled actors and a local high school drama program.”

Going forward, Starzyk will continue to produce plays as fundraisers under the title of Starzyk Play Productions.

CAN YOU SAY “CHEESE”?

No, it is not for a picture. I am talking about one of my favorite dairy products, cheese. After the cows are milked and their wholesome milk is shipped to the milk plant, some of the milk is used to make other dairy products such as cheese. It takes ten pounds of milk to make one pound of cheese. The process of making cheese is very long and extensive, involving various steps and aging of the cheese.

Different types of cheese have different processes and aging lengths. I am sure you know of some these types of cheeses from cheddar to mozzarella to pepper jack and so many more.

There are plenty of types of cheese out there. Cheese is a great dairy product that provides you with healthy nutrients for your body such as zinc, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin B12, Vitamin A, Calcium, Protein, and Riboflavin. These nutrients are very good for your body, such as zinc, to grow and repair tissues, along with muscles, calcium for strong bones and teeth.

Cheese is an excellent way to have dairy in your diet and meals. From grilled cheese, to mac’n’cheese to pizza, to a slice on your sandwich, there are endless possibilities to include cheese. ~ Courtney Luskin, Rensselaer County Dairy Princess

DID YOU KNOW? For decades the month of June held firm as the most popular month for weddings.

But statistics now indicate that there may be shifting preferences in the time of the year for marriages. According to The National Center for Health Statistics, July and August are now the most popular months for tying the knot in the United States.

September and October have also gained momentum as premier months. Explanations for this shift vary, but it may have something to do with changing weather patterns and warmer weather now arriving later in the season than in the past. Also, getting married later in the year may make it easier for couples to secure their first choice of wedding venues.

YOU’RE ENGAGED: NOW WHAT? (NAPSA)—If you’re planning a wedding, you have lots of company. More than 2 million weddings occur every year.

The good news is that tying the knot is a lot less daunting when you stay loose and break down the initial planning phase into steps: Step 1: Cap Spending-Before you start number crunching, set your priorities. Can you give up that string quartet in order to have nicer flowers? Is serving filet mignon at a fourcourse dinner more important than hiring an incredible photographer?

Once you know what elements you can and can’t live without, you’ll have a much clearer idea of how to allocate yourmoney.

Try using tools such as the WeddingChannel.com budget tool for the typical breakdown on a wedding spending limit.

Step 2: Your Wedding Style- An intimate beachside ceremony is a very different undertaking than a formal church wedding with 300 guests. That’s why choosing a wedding style should be an important step in your planning process. Discuss the type of wedding you and your fiancé want to have. Talk about the size of the wedding, the season in which it will take place, the level of formality, the time of day and any themes you may be interested in.

Step 3: Make The List- Between two families, two sets of friends and two groups of coworkers, guest lists can add up quickly— even if you’ve agreed to keep things small. Limiting the list to immediate family and then branching out in layers—aunts, uncles, close friends, first cousins—is a fair way to bring the

Did you know?

Hurricanes and tropical storms are commonplace during the months when many weddings take place. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30 each year. It may be prudent for those who will be traveling for honeymoons during this season to purchase travel insurance to safeguard against potential trip cancellations.

Be sure to ask what will happen if your honeymoon destination should become uninhabitable by a storm.

Inquire if the trip can be cancelled when there is a hurricane warning issued. Be sure to purchase adequate insurance to protect you should the trip be cancelled.

Step 4: Save The Date- A good way to choose a date is by envisioning the time of year during which you’d like your wedding to take place. Take into consideration the weather and any themes you may have been leaning toward. Then choose two tentative dates and check the area city guide to ensure there won’t be any major events that day that could make it difficult to find guest accommodations or reliable vendors.

Step 5: Location, Location, Location-Once you’ve decided on two possible dates, a guest count and your ideal wedding style, it’s time to start looking into locations. You can view prospective ceremony and reception sites by visiting the WeddingChannel.com local vendor directory, then start setting appointments to visit your favorites in person. Most locations will allow you a courtesy two week “pencil hold” while you make your final decision.

BOOK DISCUSSION AT GRAFTON COMMUNITY LIBRARY

518-477-1438 www.otterbeckbuilders.com

The book discussion group of the Grafton Community Library will be discussing The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho this month at their meeting on Wednesday, January 30, at 12:30 PM at the library.

Copies of the book are available for anyone interested in reading the book and joining the discussion. The group meets monthly on the last Wednesday of each month to discuss the chosen book.

New participants are always welcome. This timeless and entertaining story, exotic yet simple, is about the faith, power, and courage we all have within us to pursue the intricate path of a Personal Legend, a path charted by the mysterious magnet of destiny but obscured by distractions. The reader learns how along the way we learn to trust our hearts, read the seemingly inconspicuous signs, and understand that, as we look to fulfill a dream, it looks to find us just the same, if we let it. Author Paulo Coelho is a Brazilian lyricist and novelist. He has become one of the most widely read authors in the world today and is the recipient of numerous prestigious international awards, amongst them the Crystal Award by the World Economic Forum and France’s Légion d’honneur.

“THE CAPITAL REGION’S ROLE IN THE STORY OF THE U.S.S. MONITOR”

BRUNSWICK COMMUNITY LIBRARY EVENING BOOK GROUP

The Troy Public Library and HVCC are pleased to announce the program, “The Capital Region’s Role in the Story of the U.S.S. Monitor,” presented by Dr. P. Thomas Carroll, executive director of the Hudson Mohawk Industrial Gateway in Troy, at 6:30 pm on Monday, February 11th, 2013, at the Main Library.

The 1862 Civil War encounter between the U.S.S. Monitor and the C.S.S. Virginia, known as the “Battle of the Monitor and the Merrimac,” is generally agreed to be the world’s first military engagement between two ironclad vessels. The circumstances of this battle changed the course of naval warfare and eventually rendered the wooden warship obsolete. Dr. Carroll discusses the making of the U.S.S. Monitor and the battle that would not have happened had the ship not been constructed in record time in 1861-62. This program is being held in conjunction with the HVCC exhibit, “Lincoln: the Constitution

As legislative representatives of District 3, including the towns of Brunswick, Pittstown and Schaghticoke, we are happy to provide our constituents with a report on actions taken at the January 8, 2013 legislative meeting.

We are looking forward to 2013 and will continue to work to protect taxpayers, needed county services and attract new jobs and opportunity to the county. Late last year, the Legislature adopted a 2013 budget under the state tax cap and played a role in helping Regeneron expand and create 300 new jobs.

Legislators also requested the state Public Service Commission to review a new fee being levied by Time Warner. Time Warner is now charging a $4 monthly fee for modems already installed in homes or businesses. Many believe the fee is unnecessary given the modems have already been installed, and the new modem cost is also unfair because of the ongoing recession.

We will also continue to work to advocate for needed relief and reform of state and federal mandates to help protect county taxpayers and safeguard county services. Protecting our solid financial position and positive bond rating will also be focal points during the New Year, particularly as a strong financial position helps attract new jobs and investment to our county.

Legislators passed resolutions related to ongoing efforts to protect farmland and open space in the county, and to support a farmer’s market. The county is continuing a relationship with the Agricultural Stewardship Association for the farmland protection efforts.

We were also joined by Pat Abrams of Brunswick, whose son Michael wrote a book “Networking for Veterans” to help veterans re-enter civilian life after military service. Both Pat and Mike are veterans and we thank them for their service to our country.

We also adopted a resolution thanking sponsors and supporters of the annual Christmas party for kids at the Vanderheyden Hall youth facility.

The Legislature also welcomed the family of Willis Wiley, a resident of District 3 who passed away last fall. Willis had worked with the City of Troy’s Public Utilities Department until his retirement.

The next meeting of the Rensselaer County Legislature is Tuesday, February 12, 2013. Residents are welcome to contact us at our legislative offices by writing to the Rensselaer County Legislature, 1600 7th Avenue, Troy NY 12180 or by e-mailing us via the official legislative website at www.rensselaercounty.org.
