Immediately after the war, as commander of all U.S. troops in Texas, his June 19 order freeing slaves was one of the most significant documents of Reconstruction, prompting “Juneteenth” celebrations that continue to this day all over the United States. Granger died on duty in Santa Fe, NM, in January 1876. Come hear Bob talk about his book and research. Books will be available for purchase and Bob will happily sign all editions.

Part-time office hours for the Assessor will soon be established. The Board also approved a contract with Municipal Assessment Services, Inc. to provide support for the Assessor’s Office. These changes will afford the Town substantial savings and provide the Town with access to a wide-range of expertise and professional assessment services.

LEGIS. URGES STATE TO RECONSIDER POWER LINE TRANSMISSION PROJECT The Rensselaer County Legislature approved a resolution at the February 11 legislative meeting asking New York State to reconsider a project to expand transmission power lines because of impacts on historic and agricultural properties. The project would expand existing power lines running between Utica and New York City, and create new power options for the state. The project has created considerable concern in Columbia County and Dutchess County. About 20 properties in Rensselaer County, located in the hamlet of Schodack Landing would be affected. “There are many residents and property owners worried about this project. The state should reconsider and review the project based on these reasonable concerns,” said Legislator Alex Shannon. It is expected the project would substantially widen existing rights of way along the route of the power lines. Legislators said they are concerned about the impact on agricultural and historic properties in Schodack Landing. Some of the properties have been farmed continuously for centuries. Other structures are among the oldest in the area, dating back to Dutch settlers. “These are properties and structures important to the heritage of Rensselaer County. A considerable widening of these rights of way would damage these properties and diminish the historical and agricultural value of these properties,” said Legislator Judith Breselor. “In New York State, we are supposed to be working to protect agricultural and historic properties. This project is a step in the wrong direction,” added Chair of the Legislature Martin Reid. The resolution will be sent to the governor and representatives of the county in the State Legislature.
C. MADDEN PARTICIPATES IN NEW YORK STUDENT AID ALLIANCE ADVOCACY DAY
SOME THOUGHTS ON THE PLIGHT OF OUR SOCIETY Letter to the Editor: Social Security: For years we have been warned that our SS Fund will run out in 10+/- years and that withholding rates will probably go up or the system will die a natural death. None of our esteemed politicians have mentioned that the true demise of the fund is due to the fact that our Federal Government has borrowed millions from the fund and has never paid a dime of it back. Medicare: The same non-factual statements are made about the demise of Medicare. Claims are made at an exorbitant rate and are grossly inflated. Medicare will only cover a fraction of the claimed price and the providers usually accept what is offered. Why don’t the providers put in claims for truly realistic fees and let it be done with. This will result in a massive reduction of paper work and labor in the Medicare claims office, thereby lowering costs. Employment and unemployment figures: These are bandied about by political candidates as the result of successes in their office. When an unemployed person’s benefits run out, it is assumed by the powers that be that that person is now employed, since he is no longer on the unemployment rolls. In the majority of cases, that unfortunate soul is now on the dole. Minimum Wages: Whatever rate is settled upon as a new minimum wage, the recipient will always be asking for more, simply because in the majority of cases, the employee is a part timer only working about 25hrs a week, with no benefits whatsoever. This is particularly true in the chain restaurant business. How can anyone survive on this? ~ Lee Ricard, East Greenbush Editors Note: The above article does not necessarily reflect the opinion or endorsement of the Editor or the Staff of THE ADVERTISER, and for all intents and purposes is impossible to verify the truth and veracity of its contents.

SPA is a twelve-step program, which is based on Emotions Anonymous (EA) and Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). The SPA meetings are comprised of members that struggle with some form of social anxiety. The idea is to gather on a regular basis, for the purpose of working toward recovery from social anxiety. The only requirement for membership is a desire to become well. No member should ever feel pressured to say anything in a meeting - simply showing up and listening is all that is required. If you struggle with social anxiety, and it is holding you back in life, then come check out this brand new support group, which offers a gentle approach to overcoming this debilitating hurdle. SPA is not a medical or psychiatric service, nor does it provide personal or family counseling. Leadership of group meetings is non-professional. The first weekly meeting will be held on Sunday, March 2nd, from 7pm - 8pm at St. Michael’s Church, 175 Williams Rd., Troy, NY. Call John at (518) 956-3844 or email spaspur42 @gmail.com for more info.

Solutions For Those Without Dental Coverage An estimated 77% of Americans without dental coverage delay further visits due to the costs of care. The recession and high unemployment rates have put more of the burden of dental care on the shoulders of already strained budgets. We asked Dr. David Starkman to share suggestions for those looking for quality dental care on a limited budget. “First and foremost I recommend practicing preventative care at home. You’ve heard it before, but flossing and brushing your teeth daily will help you avoid cavities and gum disease, the things that would send you to the dentist’s chair in the first place. I also encourage those without dental coverage to seek out free clinics and services. Two organizations I am involved with Dentistry from The Heart and Mission of Mercy are focused on helping children and adults in need by offering free dental care”.

David Pugliese has been around basketball since a very young age. With his dad being a coach, he was always in a gym, just playing for fun. It wasn’t until third grade that he became involved in youth basketball, and has been playing ever since. “I think it’s awesome that I get to play for my dad [in high school], not every athlete gets to do that.” David has been playing Averill Park varsity basketball for two years now, and is a shooting guard. In the off season, David spends a lot of time in the weight room trying to get stronger for when basketball season comes around. David was also a Fitness Coach at the 43 Mall with personal trainer, Al Bonde. He would work there 3- 4 days a week every week from the time last season ended until this season started. David really wanted to work on getting bigger, faster, and stronger for his last season of high school basketball, and this was just the job to help him accomplish this. He also worked on his shooting and ball handling. Aside from basketball, David also runs track in the spring and played golf for a while in the fall, but decided not to this year in order to better prepare for basketball. David shared with me what he believes has inspired him to be the person he is today, “My whole family has inspired me to be the person I am today. I have a good support system behind me. I can’t think of just one person that has helped shape me as the person I am today. My parents and grandparents have always been there for me and they have really inspired me to be the best that I can be and to work hard at everything I do.” In David’s spare team, he likes to watch and play basketball and football with his friends. He is a big New York Knick and Alabama fan, so he spends a lot of time watching their games. This year, David is taking AP (Advanced Placement) Biology, AP Euro or Western Civilization, Statistics, Government and Economics, American Detective Fiction, and Forensics, with a 92.9 GPA. After high school, David plans on attending the University of Alabama, but is undecided on a major at the moment. He will not be playing any sports in college, but hopes to keep playing basketball in intramurals and recreation leagues. David was recognized at a leadership conference in Washington D.C., is a member of the National Honors Society, and was nominated for Boys State. “Being a scholar athlete is an honor because it shows I’m being recognized as a student and an athlete. I have to put in extra work as a student to make up for the study time lost when I’m at practice and games. School has always come first.” Congratulations on a successful high school career, David, and the best of luck to you in the future! ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

To sign up, visit freihofersrun.com. The 5K Registration costs $25 through March 1. “This is a terrific event for first time runners. The camaraderie of being with other likeminded females and the motivation derived from participating in an event with Olympic and world champions guarantee a wonderful experience,” said longtime Event Director George Regan. The first 5,000 entrants receive a high-performance, female-cut technical t-shirt. Other perks include free health screenings by Capital Care physicians, massages, chiropractic adjustments and discounted running gear at the CapitalCare/CDPHP Health & Fitness Expo; clinics featuring elite athletes; live music both around the course and on-stage following the race; refreshments courtesy of Price Chopper supermarkets; and, races for the kids throughout the day. Participants interested in getting in shape prior to race day are invited to register for the 4th annual Freihofer’s Training Challenge (http://www.freihofersrun.com/ftc.htm), which starts March 17. Attracting more than 400 women last year ranging in age from 1472, the popular 10-week program follows an enhanced version of the well-known Couch to 5K Running Plan and includes novice, intermediate and advanced options. Training Challenge participants will begin each week with a Monday exercise session involving walking, jogging and/or running at The Crossings of Colonie. Certified coaches and media personalities will lead the workouts, which are offered at noon, 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. A Saturday group run will take place at Colonie Town Park at 8:30 a.m. Runners are instructed to complete a third workout on their own at a time during the week that is most convenient for them. A virtual training program (http://www.freihofersrun.com/ virtual.htm) is also offered for those who can’t participate in the full Freihofer’s Training Challenge. For those who are seeking a different approach to fitness but still want to reach the finish line on May 31, the Freihofer’s Training Challenge will offer sportwalking as an alternative program. Walkers, who receive all Training Challenge benefits, will meet at The Crossings of Colonie at a designated time, where they will train for the Freihofer’s Run for Women with a goal of sportwalking the 3.1-mile course in 45 minutes or less. Sportwalkers whose times are more than 45 minutes can participate in the Freihofer’s Community Walk which is a 3K distance and starts on Madison Avenue at noon. A one-hour Training Challenge presentation will be held Thursday, March 13 from 6-7 p.m. at The Community Media Lab on 501 Broadway in Troy. The session, which will provide an overview of the 4th annual Freihofer’s Training Challenge, will cover how to get started in a running program and remain injury free. Presenters will include program coaches and experts in sports medicine, nutrition and injury prevention. The Freihofer’s Training Challenge costs $40.

2014 SORENSCO BABE RUTH BASEBALL REGISTRATION Sorensco’s 2014 baseball registration is now open! Sorensco will be commemorating 60 years of Babe Ruth Baseball this year and we are looking forward to another great season. Sorensco is a community-based baseball league for players 13-18 years of age that offers an exceptional and very affordable baseball experience for players and their families. Levels of play/seasons include Recreational, Travel and All-Stars. As we have done in the past, we will again be implementing the ability for players deemed sufficiently skilled to “play up” with a higher age group if they qualify. This will allow players to be placed at their skill level instead of their age only and will apply to each of our three seasons across all age groups. Additionally, those players age 15 and under who try out and make our Connie Mack (18u) or Mickey Mantle (16u) teams will not be required to be placed on a Recreational team roster. We anticipate that these rule changes will provide tremendous flexibility for players who qualify. The 2014 Registration Form can be found on our website at: sorensco.baberuthonline.com. Please email any questions to: Sorensco@gmail.com.

LOVE LUTHERAN CHURCH Whenever we accomplish great things, or even small successes, we want to be recognized. To have fame is to be numbered among the elite of society, as someone special, as someone to emulate. Why, then, did Jesus Christ not want to be known? Why did he prefer being incognito to being hailed for who He was? Please join us as we continue our year-long study of the Gospel of Mark with this Sunday’s sermon “Incongnito,” based upon Mark 3: 7-12. Love Lutheran Church is located at Middlesex Road and Pheasant Lane in East Greenbush. Worship begins at 10 AM. Please go to our new website: http://www.lovelutheran.net/ – for more information and directions, or call 477-8685.

UPDATE FROM THE VILLAGE OF NASSAU BOARD OF TRUSTEES JAN./FEB. 2014 The entire student body welcomed Patrick from their Pre K after weeks of prayers and cards wishing for a full recovery from open heart surgery. Patrick entered Pre K with many limitations while awaiting surgery to correct his heart defect. His classmates took him and his needs into consideration throughout their activities and lessons. They marked the day that he would have surgery and the entire student body, along with faculty and staff, wrote well wishes on paper hearts and sent them home to him. Happily, they quickly designed a banner for him as he visited school for an hour. Every student Pre K through sixth grade welcomed him with cheers and song. He should be returning to school soon where he will be welcomed with open arms.
HELP FOR TEENS WHO STUTTER IS AS CLOSE AS YOUR LIBRARY Stuttering is a frustrating and embarrassing problem for millions of people, but it can be especially tough on teenagers. Help is available at most public libraries in the form of a DVD. Some libraries have an older video format. “It’s meant to encourage teens, to tell them that there is hope out there,” said Professor Peter Ramig of the University of Colorado at Boulder. Ramig is one of three nationally recognized experts appearing in the DVD produced by the nonprofit Stuttering Foundation. David Wilkins, a high school student who stutters, narrates the DVD. It features students from junior high school through college talking about their experiences with stuttering and what they found to be helpful. They talk openly about the ridicule they faced from classmates and how their stuttering affects their lives. “We really try to emphasize the embarrassment and frustration factor, and we think teens will relate to that,” adds Ramig. He appears in the DVD along with speech-language pathologists Dr. Barry Guitar of the University of Vermont and Dr. Hugo Gregory of Northwestern University. The three experts answer questions about stuttering, refute myths and misconceptions, and present examples of therapy sessions showing how stuttering can be reduced. Books and DVDs produced by the 66-year-old nonprofit Stuttering Foundation are available free to any public library. A library that will shelve them can contact the Foundation at 1800-992-9392, e-mail info@stutteringhelp.org, or visit www.stutteringhelp.org or www.tartarmudez.org.
The project to correct and recreate the Village’s financial database for March 2011 through May 2013 has been completed. With the hiring of a new Village Treasurer in 2013 and a revamping of the Village’s internal controls, the Board has worked with its insurance company and the Office of the State Comptroller (OSC) to take the steps necessary to ensure this situation is not repeated in the future. Following the completion of the project, the Village re-submitted its Annual Update Documents to OSC. For both the 2012/13 fiscal year, the Village has received notification from the OSC Fiscal Stress Monitoring System that it has classified the Village financial condition in the lowest stress category – No Designation, indicating very little, if any, fiscal stress. In January, the Board met with the owners of properties on or adjacent to several private roads and right of ways in the Village to discuss ceasing the provision of highway services on these roads. In some cases these services have been provided for more than half a century. The Board is working with the Village Attorney and property owners to develop a solution that conforms to the State Constitution and Village Law. The Board is in the midst of its annual budget development process. The next budget workshop is scheduled for February 26, 2014 at 6pm at Village Hall. Village property owners are also reminded that Grievance Day is February 18, 2014 from 6pm to 10pm at Village Hall. Persons wishing to appeal their tax assessment are encouraged to schedule an appointment with the Village Clerk for a hearing. The Board also wants to bring to property owners’ attention that there was an error in the county’s assessment library that allowed veteran exemptions to go above the cap defined in Village law. In essence, veterans received a higher exemption over the past couple years than allowed by law. This error has been corrected and those affected received a notice of the change as well as a copy of the law. Additional questions should be directed to the Assessor’s office at 766-3044, ext 2. ~ Submitted by the Village of Nassau Board of Trustees

“GO THE EXTRA MILE” On Sunday, February 23, 2014, the Nassau and Stuyvesant Reformed Churches will hear the words of Matthew 5:38-48 and focus on Jesus’ message which urges us to live in whole and holy relationships, especially with those who cannot see beyond the legalisms that justify oppression and injustice. We need to do more than love those who have violated us. We need to do more than to just love our neighbor. We must love our enemies as well. In the sermon titled, “Go The Extra Mile,” the Reverend Edward L. Van Kampen will speak to how our baptismal vows promise that we will live a transformed, transfigured life that serves to result in our peace with God. The Nassau Reformed Church begins worship at 11 a.m. in its Chapel at 43 Church Street (Route 20), one half mile east of the only traffic light in the village. The Stuyvesant Reformed Church begins worship at 9 a.m. in its sanctuary, just south of the only caution light in the hamlet of Stuyvesant.
TROY and the WAR of 1812 On Sunday, March 2nd, at 1:30PM, Michael Barrett, Executive Director of the Hudson Mohawk Industrial Gateway, will be at the Troy Public Library to discuss Troy and the War of 1812. Due to its strategic location, and despite being a very young and small village, Troy men and businesses were instrumental in the prosecution of the war. Troy men took the first British flag captured during the war. Captain John Ellis Wool began his 52-year military career as one leader of General Stephen Van Rensselaer’s failed invasion of Canada. Local businessmen provided weaponry, equipment, clothing and foodstuffs to the troops, and the use of “Uncle Sam” as a depiction of our nation has its origin here in the City. Come learn more about this important time in our city’s history. This program is free and open to the public. Registration is necessary. For more information, and to register, call the library at 274-7071 or online at www.thetroylibrary.org. The Troy Public Library is located at 100 2nd Street, Troy, NY.

Pet Adoption of the Week KIKI - Sweet darling gal. She was rescued when she could not even walk. Today she is running and playing! Kiki is a possible setter mix who is approx. 45 years old, 32 lbs., spayed female, current with vaccines and heartworm negative. Kiki had a condition when rescued that her blood did not reach her extremeties (nose, toes, tail, etc) and therefore she has some scars from lack of circulation. Since her condition has been diagnosed, she is now fine. She gets a 1/2 pill once a day and that is all that is required for her care. No more vet visits, just a 1/2 pill in her breakfast every morning and she is good to go! (medication is approx. $10 month). Kiki is house trained and is crate trained. She gets along well with other dogs and is basically a dog who just wants to be loved. She will lie on the couch and watch TV with you all day or go for walks with you all day. Whatever you want to do, she is happy to join you.
If you would like to meet Kiki to possibly adopt her, Contact : s h e r r y 4 2 7 @ v e r i z o n . n e t or 518-393-0755
