A RETAIL CONVERSATION
Is “commerce” one of the first words to come to your mind when you consider your local independent business? Allow me to offer you a different word that might change your perspective: “conversation.” As the person who started The Sweater Venture over 30 years ago, and has enjoyed operating it here in Rensseleer County for almost 15 years, I have come to appreciate that it is the conversation that a business has with its customers and community that define its role, purpose and success as a commercial enterprise. Since moving to our current location on Columbia Turnpike in East Greenbush in 2002, we have focused on initiating the conversation in a number of atypical ways. For example, we located in a historic building, a former church, dating to the time of the Civil War. Its location marks the original center of East Greenbush (sometimes referred to as Greenbush Center) and evidence of old Albany to Boston train route with its train station and boarding house still exist. Inside the building its historic charm is reflected in its wide plank pine floors, rustic beams and warm wood stove. For almost 10 years now, our store mascot, Amber, has been eager to greet you when you visit. Or, if she doesn’t actually greet you, she is after all a cat, she at least lets you tell her she is pretty as she sleeps by the fire. To continue the conversation, we fill the store with merchandise that is intended to be different than the usual fare one commonly finds. And while this does include many styles of hand knit, natural fiber sweaters for which we have earned a reputation, we offer much more than just sweaters. An abundance of colorful scarves in many fabrics, unique jewelry pieces, an ever changing mix of clothing, along with ethnic treasures uncovered in our regular trips to Bolivia, Nepal, Ecuador, Thailand and other corners of the world are intended to pique your curiosity, excite your retail palette and encourage your feedback. Your feedback, offered to us in your questions, your return visits and in the kind words you share about us to friends and neighbors nourishes us, strengthens us and encourages us to seek ever more diverse offerings. Your participation in the conversation helps secure that small independent businesses, like ours, continue to survive in your neighborhood, continue to support your tax base and continue to contribute to the success and vitality of your community.

CHERIL RISTAU IS RECOGNIZED BY DIVISION of MILITARY & NAVAL AFFAIRS Division of Military and Naval Affairs employee Cheril Ristau has been awarded the agency’s Certificate of Appreciation in recognition of her service as the agency responded to Hurricane Sandy. Ristau, who works in the DMNA state personnel office, played a key role in processing $9 million that was paid to more than 4,500 members of the New York National Guard who served during the state response to the storm in November. Her work was exemplary and ensured that these Soldiers and Airmen were paid in a timely manner, her citation says. While serving at the direction of the governor, members of the Army and Air National Guard are paid by the state instead of the federal government. Ristau lives in Averill Park with her husband Mark and son, also named Mark. been in to see us, we thank you for being a part of the conversation. If you have not yet visited us, then I encourage you to come in and see for yourself. We know that your visit will expand our horizons, and we hope that it will expand yours as well! ~ Dan Welch, The Sweater Venture

PLANT DONATIONS NEEDED Spring Has Sprung!

As legislative representatives of District 4, including the towns of Schodack, Nassau and Sand Lake, we are happy to provide residents with an update on actions taken at the April 9, 2013 legislative meeting. With a difficult economy, a top priority is the creation of new jobs. The County Legislature took an important step in supporting job creation with the approval of resolutions that will aid the expansion of Regeneron in East Greenbush. The Regeneron expansion is expected to create 300 jobs, and more new jobs are possible in the coming years. A key component of the project is the extension by the Legislature of county sewer lines for Regeneron. The host community, East Greenbush, was unable to provide sewer service for the project due to capacity issues. The Legislature approved resolutions for the financing of the project, including use of an energy performance contract, and resolutions for the required environmental review of the project. We look forward to working with Regeneron to bring about this project and are excited to see work get underway and completed in spring or early summer on the sewer extension. The sewer will be connected from Regeneron’s plant in East Greenbush with the county sewer plant in Rensselaer. At the direction of Chairman Reid, the Legislature will begin a review of the county ethics law with an eye toward expanding and strengthening the statute. The ethics law has been a good guide for county government, but a more comprehensive review will allow for needed updates and improvements. Legislators also continued efforts to relieve state mandates, including costs from the implementation of the NY Safe Act, and to urge the state to bring aboard more Medicaid investigators to pursue instances of fraud. We were also joined at the April 9 meeting by the family of Harold Loveridge to present them with a resolution mourning his passing. Harold was active in numerous community organizations, particularly Kiwanis, and helped with the improvements to Butler Park. Harold’s son Bob provided valuable service to the county as director of the county jail before his retirement and is himself active in Kiwanis. The next meeting of the Rensselaer County Legislature is Tuesday, May 14, 2013. Residents are welcome to contact us at the 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.
SUPPORT FUTURE TEACHERS Congratulations repeated to the 29 recipients of awards by the Elmer E. Stahlman Scholarship Fund. Started by the Class of 1955 in 1996 to honor Elmer E.

“CRAFT A BILL THAT ADDRESSES THE VIOLENCE NOT THE LAW ABIDING” Letter to the Editor: Thank you, Schodack Town Board and county board for common sense and opposing the NYS Safe Act. The law, made with the assault weapon —the pen, done in the dark of night on the first day, rammed down our throats without the normal legislative process, with ignorance of the Constitution, constructed by Bloomberg and the Brady people is really the start to confiscation. There are so many flaws in that law that the couple good things should be placed into a new bill done correctly, with people that know what they are talking about. Craft a bill that addresses the violence not the law abiding. NYS has one of the strictest gun laws already of the states. THEY NEED TO BE ENFORCED. Feel good new laws do nothing to prevent what happened in Newtown or the Colorado Theater. Webster is another where if the laws were used correctly this murderer of his grandmother with the assault weapon of a hammer should have had the death penalty 20 years ago. A couple more heroes would still be alive! People committing these mass killings are evil. You’re never going to stop them until you have an equalizer——a gun in the hands of a good person, well trained and ready. If there is not enough police to enforce the laws we already have; how are they going to enforce the new unenforceable ones. Now, I hear you can practice on the range with 10 bullets in the magazine, but for home defense protection you can only have 7 rounds. I’m sure the bad guy will stick to that 7 too! That would make it fair, wouldn’t it? Hey, the Governor doesn’t worry, he’s got armed guards! How stupid are these people making laws on something they know nothing about? Do they teach anymore in our public schools, the shots that were heard ’round the world at Lexington and Concord were fired because of the actions of an arrogant and disdainful government that attempted to confiscate and make illegal the firearms of its citizens? ~ Nancy Rosekrans, Castleton Editor s 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.

POTTERY IN GREENBUSH Recently, a friend gave me a stoneware bottle from the 1800’s with the name “Defreest Lemon Pop” written on it. Since the Defreest families were early settlers here, I thought I’d try to discover if there used to be any potteries in what is now North Greenbush. My primary resource was a book “Pottery Works on the Capital District” by Warren Broderick. The first thing I learned was that there was an abundance of clay and firewood in this area—the ingredients needed for this profession. In a 1767 map of the areas west and east of Albany, locates families who were early settlers. One such notation is for a Philip Kerner alias “Pottbacker” –which may be Dutch for Potter. He lived on the northwest corner of Broadway and Tracy Streets in what was then the village of Bath which is now part of the City of Rensselaer. Philip’s younger brother John is listed in a circa 1790 land survey as also being a Pottbacker. However he lived off Best Road in what is now East Greenbush. There were several early potters in Troy. I’ve read an advertisement placed in the Northern Budget on February 11, 1801, advertising Troy’s first pottery, opened by New Jersey potter Branch Green. He is looking for two or three Journeymen Potters, “that can come well recommended as workmen at the Stone-Ware manufacturer. Likewise, two Lads, about 15 or 16 years of age, as Apprentices to the above business.” The business was located in South Troy, but the exact site is not known. There is another early structure still standing at on the corner of Fourth and Ferry streets in Troy which was operated by Josiah Chapman in the early 1800’s. These are but two of many potteries in Troy, but so far I have struck out locating a Defreest Pottery in North Greenbush. I did finally locate the Defreest label—in Lansingburgh. The business was begun by Ezra Defreest (1816-1900) who was succeeded by his son, Daniel W. and in turn his son Ezra. Evidentially there Defreest bottles are quite common-but alas not from North Greenbush. However, I’m glad to have this bottle and hope that someone out there knows of a pottery business that was located in my town.
Lucy Breyer (Waterford) plays Titania, Queen of the Fairies, who dotes on her new love played by Brian Smith of Sand Lake. Sand Lake Center for the Arts-Circle Theatre Players presents Shakespeare’s classic comedy, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. This is the most popular of Shakespeare’s plays. Perhaps because of the four stories, interweaving and colliding, each in its own palette, mode and original music. Each story has its own live musician—CarolLynn Langley on mountain dulcimer and fanciful percussion for the Fairies; Janine Budesheim on violin and fiddle for the lovers and Brian Switzer on cello for the mechanicals. The production, directed by Barbara Leavell Smith, opens May 10 and continues May 11, 12, 16, 17, 18 at 8 pm; and Sunday, May 12 and 19 at 2:30 pm. Tickets are $16, under 18 $10, and reservations can be made at 518-674-2007 or www.slca-ctp.org. The SLCA is located at 2880 NY 43, Averill Park, NY. There is plenty of free parking.

Jimino. “Once again this year the Youth Summit worked to harness positive peer pressure by teaching our young adults how to reach their peers and convince them that drinking and using drugs is never safe, appropriate, or acceptable.” Rensselaer County, through its Underage Drinking Coalition, hosts two Youth Summits a year. The program provides a number of local schools an opportunity to highlight their efforts and projects to reinforce to their peers as well as other members of the community about the consequences of underage alcohol use. Nearly 80 students from Rensselaer County schools participated in the recent event where they participated in training workshops. The guest speaker at the event was Javier Sanchez. According to his biography Mr. Sanchez is a professional spokesperson who incorporates his expertise in the area of effective youth empowerment with his love of Hip Hop music and comedy. Mr. Sanchez is an advocate for youth and has been encouraging teens to realize that once they catch a vision and a sense of purpose for their life, there are no limits to their potential. In concluding her remarks, Jimino stated, “Rensselaer County is committed to preventing the tragedies that all too often occur when the youth of our communities use drugs or alcohol, and I know our collective efforts are making a difference,” concluded Jimino.

Greetings and best wishes to everyone in the City of Rensselaer. As Rensselaer’s representative to the County Legislature, I am happy to report to you on the actions taken by the Rensselaer County Legislature at our April 9, 2013 legislative meeting. One of the main items on the agenda concerns the Regeneron project in East Greenbush. The Legislature approved a set of resolutions to support the project and undertake the needed environmental reviews. The Regeneron project involves extension of sewer service to the facility, located just up the hill in East Greenbush, and will help create 300 new jobs. It is also hoped the extension of county sewer service to Regeneron will help the Town of East Greenbush improve its sewer operations. East Greenbush did not have the capacity to provide sewer service, and city residents have often complained about odors from the town plant. I will continue to press for improvements to the town plant to help Rensselaer residents. I also sponsored a resolution recognizing the Rensselaer Rams Boys fifth and sixth grade CYO basketball team for a championship season. The team completed its season with a 15-1 record. The team include head coach Mike Teator and players Stephen Sousis, Motasam Alshami, Nate Breedon, Gabe Dominowski, Daytona Cross, Eli Foust, Julius Johnson, Jayden Seals, Brandon Sion, Joseph Sweet, Kieran Teator and Jonathan Wellington. I was also proud to sponsor a resolution recognizing National Boys and Girls Club Week. The Southern Rensselaer County Boys and Girls Club has always provided outstanding service to our community, and I have been proud to have been part of the Club throughout my life. To learn more about the Club, visit www.bgcsorensco.org. On the subject of youth activities, Opening Day for Rensselaer Little League is May 4. Motorists, please take care driving near the ball fields. The county ethics law has been a solid framework for county government, helping ensure honest, ethical and effective services for residents. At the April 9 meeting, legislators voted to undertake a review of the county ethics law, with the intention of strengthening, expanding and updating the law. The next meeting of the Rensselaer County Legislature is Tuesday, May 14, 2013. Residents are welcome to contact me at the 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.

PSYCHIC READINGS
4-H PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS IN RENSSELAER COUNTY
As legislative representatives of District 2, including the towns of East Greenbush, North Greenbush and Poestenkill, we are happy to provide our constituents with a report on actions taken at the April 9, 2013 legislative meeting. One of the major economic development success stories in the Capital Region is the expansion of bio-pharmaceutical company Regeneron in East Greenbush. The expansion is expected to create 300 new jobs during the coming months, and further job creation at the site is possible. The County Legislature was able to play a major role in the Regeneron expansion by extending sewer service to the Regeneron campus when the host community of East Greenbush was able to supply sewer service due to capacity issues. At the April meeting, the Legislature approved resolutions that allow for start of the project to extend county sewer service to Regeneron. Resolutions were also approved for environmental review of the project, in accordance with state guidelines. The Legislature voted at the April 9 meeting to undertake a review of the county ethics law, including formation of a special committee to coordinate review. The review will be done with an eye toward expanding and strengthening the existing law, and ensuring the law is at least as strong as state ethics laws. We also supported a resolution asking for the state to increase the numbers of investigators for Medicaid fraud. A recent report said that tens of millions of taxpayer dollars in fraudulent Medicaid claims were not being recovered. Along with working to crack down on Medicaid fraud, we continue to work to reduce instances of chronic callers, persons who repeatedly call for expensive ambulance rides and emergency room visits for non-emergencies. The Legislature also appointed Louis Basle of Poestenkill as a member of the county Fire Advisory Board. The next meeting of the Rensselaer County Legislature is Tuesday, May 14, 2013. Residents are welcome to contact us at the 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.

athlete OF THE WEEK SARAH CARUSO ~SCHOLAR ATHLETE~
Sports Photo of by Andy the Week Flanagan
by: Lauren Navratil
by Claire Everett I am back on American soil and ready to do some reporting! I would like to thank Riley Ludwig for filling in for me for the last two weeks. I read both of her columns and was very impressed. Thanks again Riley; great job! While I was gone, Averill Park competed in a number of events in all sports ranging from Lacrosse to Track and Field. The Warriors rose to meet the challenge. First, the lady AP lacrosse team battled against four different schools this week. On Tuesday, the girls took on Emma Willard and started the week off right, beating them 10-7. Top scorers were Morgan Lionarons and Sofi Sorriento, each with four goals. Then the ladies challenged Niskayuna on Wednesday, but this time fell short 13-6. Goals were scored by Morgan Lionarons (3), Caitlin O’Shea (2) and Megan Balter (1). On Thursday, the Warriors played against Schenectady, easily pulling out a win, 12-4. The ladies earned goals from top scorers Morgan Lionarons, who tallied 4 goals, and Emily Halpin, Caitlin O’Shea, and Sofi Sorriento who each scored 2. Finally, on Friday, the girls hosted Guilderland. Unfortunately, AP couldn’t maintain the momentum from the win over Schenectady, losing 15-3. Goals were scored by Megan Lettko, Emma Teitano, and Sofi Sorriento. The Track and Field team had one of their most eventful weeks so far as they competed in the Penn Relays. The Penn Relays are the first and oldest of the relay meets. On average, the meet holds one race every minute and continues for about 33 hours. Averill Park took part in the competition along with high school and college teams from around the world. High schools from places like Jamaica, the Bahamas, and South Africa were represented. Averill Park competed in the 4x100, and 4x400 boys and girls relays. The boy’s placed 7th out of 15 in the 4x400 relay for small school high schools. The girl’s relay teams placed 207th out of a total of 357 teams in the 4x100, and 9th out of 13th in the 4x400 for small school high school relay. Congratulations to all the AP athletes that represented AP so well in this prestigious and challenging meet. I hope the team carries a new confidence into the approaching post-season! The baseball and softball teams were also busy this week. The baseball team took on three schools. AP first played Niskayuna on Tuesday, and although they had some great performances, the boys fell short. Then on Thursday, the boys battled Guilderland and again couldn’t pull out a win. Finally, on Friday, the Warriors played against Gloversville, this time coming out on top 8-2. Congratulations to Nolan Gray who pitched 6 shutout innings. Great job to all the Aboys! The AP ladies softball team played three games this week against some tough competition. On Monday, the Warriors took on traditionally dominant Shaker and pulled out an amazing win, 9-2. Then AP played Niskayuna on Tuesday, and earned another win, 5-2. On Friday, the Warriors played their final game of the week against Guilderland. The two teams were neck and neck the entire time and the contest went into extra innings, but sadly Guilderland was able to get the upper hand in the 10th, winning 7-6. There is no rest for the Warrior of Averill Park. Our athletes are fighting some of their last battles of the spring as the seasons slowly approach Sectionals.
This week’s Scholar Athlete is one who constantly pushes herself to be the best at everything she can. Sarah Caruso, a senior at Averill Park High School, has been playing lacrosse for five years now. Her position is always defense and it’s either the bottom defender or d-wing. Caruso’s favorite part of playing lacrosse is the speed and intensity of the game. “Lacrosse games have a very different feel and level of speed from volleyball, which is my other sport.” Games for Sarah are extremely exciting, but can also be very frustrating. As a defender, Caruso states, “It is easy to get discouraged when the other team scores”. However, an athlete as dedicated and focused as Sarah, knows that you must communicate with your teammates and get a good momentum going from the start of the game. Caruso spent a lot of time preparing for the season, because that’s what it takes to become a successful lacrosse player. Sarah ran indoor track in the winter, which she received the scholar athlete award for, while also playing for an indoor lacrosse team to work on her skills. To Sarah, being a scholar athlete means you can balance good grades with being a good athlete. “They Challenge themselves in the classroom as well as on the field,” says the athlete. That being said, Caruso is also an outstanding student. This year she has a packed schedule including Advanced Placement English, Advanced Placement Government, Spanish 5, Cinema Literature, Physics, Senior Portfolio and Statistics. She plans to attend a four year University next year, but is still unsure of where she would like to go. Sarah will be majoring in Communications/Public Relations and minoring in marketing. Caruso doesn’t like having a lot of down time, so she keeps herself busy by participating in Odyssey of the Mind and other school functions. She is also the school treasurer and a member of the National Honors Society (NHS). Unfortunately, Sarah tore her ACL recently and will not be able to finish the season. An athlete like Sarah, however, still deserves recognition for all of her effort and success over the years. She has never been more disappointed, because she won’t be able to finish her senior year playing lacrosse with all of her teammates. However, Sarah is going to take full advantage of the opportunities she is given in college, because she would love to continue playing. Caruso would like to thank all of her teammates for being so supportive through her injury. She would also like to thank all of the coaches she’s had over the years for being supportive and always keeping her on her feet. We wish Sarah the best of luck and we hope she heals up fast!

AP BOE APPROVES RESOLUTION ON HIGH STAKES STANDARDIZED TESTING The Averill Park Central School District Board of Education voted unanimously April 23 to support a resolution urging education officials and policymakers to “reduce the overreliance on standardized tests as the only barometer of student achievement.” Averill Park Central School District has now joined a growing number of school districts across the state and country who have declared their support of the resolution that calls for an accountability system that would allow districts to design more meaningful and engaging learning experiences for students. This year, the state-required standardized testing of students in grades 3-8 include the new federal Common Core Learning Standards. The new English Language Arts (conducted April 16-18) and math tests (April 24-26) are expected to be more difficult than earlier tests and some of the material on the Common Core tests may not have been covered by teachers, according to New York State United Teachers (NYSUT). “I appreciate the need for Common Core implementation. It makes our students more prepared to leave high school and become productive citizens,” said Averill Park School Board President Chris Foster. “Where I struggle is seeing how additional tests can be the only measuring stick the state uses to determine the readiness of our students. There is a need to collect tangible metrics on how the implementation is going and make adjustments that are in the best interests of all New Yorkers.” ~ Submitted by Mary Prusak, Communications Specialist

Rensselaer County Clerk Frank J. Merola and County Executive Kathy Jimino will be partnering with the New York Alliance for Donation (NYAD) to promote organ, eye and tissue donation in Rensselaer County. This program is responsible for saving and improving the lives of thousands of New Yorkers in dire need of transplants. “April is National Donate Life month, and we are delighted to continue working with NYAD on a countywide basis to encourage residents to become an organ or tissue donor.” Mr. Merola said, “Rensselaer County is proud to be one of the many counties throughout the state participating in this important program, and I am pleased to partner with County Executive Jimino in bringing this program to the attention of our residents.” Currently 11% of potential donors enroll in the New York State Donate Life Registry over three times below the 43% national average. New Yorkers make up 10% of those on the transplant list with over 105,000 men, women and children waiting for potentially life saving transplants. Mr. Merola will be placing brochures, posters and enrollment forms in the Rensselaer County DMV and County DMV satellite offices alerting customers of the donor crisis and asking them to enroll on the Life Registry. Interested customers can also enroll by checking off the organ donor box on any license or non driver ID card transaction (MV-44, MV-2) or if renewing through the mail using form MV-2L. Ms. Jimino will be sending this information to all interested county municipalities, organizations and businesses in an attempt to boost awareness of this program throughout the county. “Each and everyday doctors rely on those who have agreed to donate life to help those in need survive or have even better health outcomes. By increasing the number of those signed up even more lives can be saved,” said Jimino.

JONES RECEIVES RECOGNITION AT CHAMPLAIN COLLEGE AWARDS DINNER Patrick Jones, a resident of Sand Lake, NY was honored at Champlain College’s annual awards dinner for the Division of Information Technology & Sciences.

E911 NEEDS ENHANCEMENT IN EAST GREENBUSH East Greenbush Town Board Member Sue Mangold, has taken the lead on efforts to improve the 911 response services to Town residents. Mangold introduced a resolution requesting Rensselaer County to upgrade the Town’s E-911 answering point to include calls from Cell Phones. Ms Mangold advised residents that “In the Town of East Greenbush, your land line calls go directly to our 24-7 dispatchers who can send Police, Fire and Rescue immediately. Your cell phone 9-1-1 calls go to Rensselaer County dispatchers in Troy.” There are too many documented cases where precious minutes were lost in the transfer of communication in order for the Troy dispatchers to get information to EG Dispatchers who then send Police, Fire and Rescue. The Resolution passed with the full support of all Board Members, and a formal request is being sent to County Officials, with input from the Chief of Police. Councilwoman Mangold points out that similar requests submitted in the past have brought no action, and she urges residents to take part in addressing this troubling situation. “As residents of the Town of East Greenbush, we enjoy a fine quality of life. We pay for 24-7 Police, Fire and Emergency services. We also pay a 9-1-1 surcharge with every cell phone and land line we own. This surcharge provides funds to upgrade equipment and we are again asking that the County use some of that money to allow the most efficient and timely response to your emergencies.” She encourages residents to contact their Rensselaer County Legislators, and the County Executive to support this request. Contact information for Michael Cristo, Philip Danaher, Kelly Hoffman and Leon Fiacco the County Legislators who represent East Greenbush, can be found at www.rensselaercounty.org. April has been designated as “National 9-1-1 Education Month”, and Councilwoman Mangold feels it is important that Town residents are informed on this critical flaw in their emergency response system, so that they can voice their concerns. She also advises that dialing 479-1212 from any phone will put you in direct contact with the East Greenbush Dispatchers. ~ Submitted by Sue Mangold

HEALING THROUGH JESUS
purrfect kitty of the month This sweet kitty is Sebastian, a 2 year old male. He’s a gentle black and white guy with a loving purrsonality. He needs a new home as his owner had to give him up due to her illness. He is looking for a forever home with a person or family that will give him some time to adjust and blossom - and he will pay you back with gratitude and purrs. He starts out shy, but he warms up to you once he gets to know you. He also gets along well with other kitties and can share with them or be a solo pet. Please consider bringing Sebastian home! As with all Purrfect Companion kitties, Sebastian is up-to-date on routine shots, house trained and neutered or spayed. For more information on Sebastian, please contact the following Purrfect Companions’ representative: Maryann at 331-2221 or at kitties.purrfectcompanions@yahoo.com. Please use this phone number ONLY for adoption purposes! Purrfect Companions is a non-profit, all volunteer rescue organization. We are always looking for good volunteers to help with the kitties or assist at our adoption clinics. If you’d like to donate a little time to these worthy animals, please give us a call at 463-8709. Our adoption clinics are held 12:30-4:00 most Saturdays and Sundays at Petco, Northway Mall, Albany NY. Stop by and see some of our other kitties! We may have one that is just “PURRFECT” for you!

This April all departments have been springing into action to prepare for the busy summer months and I thank everyone for their efforts. At our April Town Board Meeting, the Board appointed Meghan Webster to the Town Planner position, and Matthew Coleman as one of the planning interns that will be helping out during the summer. On behalf of the Town, I would like to welcome both Meghan and Matthew to the team. I would like to take a moment to mention an upcoming project that will be taking place during the 2013-2014 construction season. Based on information provided by the New York State Department of Transportation, resurfacing on Routes 9 & 20 from Rt 4 to the Rts 9 & 20 split is expected to begin this summer. This is a project I am happy to announce knowing how this will improve the daily commutes of many of our residents. We will provide updates on the website regarding the project as they become available. There was a second Public Information Session held in regards to Hampton Manor Lake Water Quality Improvement Project. I was very impressed with the number of residents that came out to participate in the open discussion. Work has resumed on cleaning up the milfoil and weeds that have invaded Hampton Manor Lake. This was one of many things discussed at the meeting. Behan Planning Associates also discussed the proposed walk-way around the lake. We believe this proposed project will help keep our residents safe as they walk around the lake. On April 25th, a Take Back the Night Walk took place. The Family and Friends of Liza Ellen Warner put on this walk in memory of Liza Warner and Nikki Hart, two members of our community who lost their lives to domestic violence. It was great to see the community join together for such an event. Such events promote unity and help spread positive messages to the youth and people of our community. I encourage everyone to participate in such events as they are announced. Let’s educate our youth and help make the future better for everyone. Hope everyone is enjoying spring! Stay Safe & Be Well.
