A PLEA FROM HIT & RUN VICTIM Letter to the Editor: On Friday, June 7th, I was at the Church of the Covenant (round church) in Averill Park at their sale just before 3PM. My car was parked in the church parking lot. When I came out of church to my car (1998 Gray Toyota Camry), I noticed a huge dent in the back door on the driver’s side which was not there before; no one was around. I went back in the church to ask if anyone saw or heard anything. No one did. I am hoping whoever caused this damage will have the decency to contact me and be responsible for their actions. Please call Sandy at 518-766-2102. Also, if anyone saw the damage being done to my car, please call with info. Thank you. ~ Sandy Appel, Averill Park

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 June 11, 2013 legislative meeting.

During 2013, and in previous years, we have worked hard to control spending and protect taxpayers and needed services.

We were happy to receive news of a positive independent audit that demonstrates the county is under sound fiscal management. The county has been able to maintain needed services while still staying under the state tax cap, and the Legislature has reduced spending in the legislative budget, saved $900,000 from a re-bid of the insurance contract and other efficiencies.

The positive audit is good news for taxpayers and also shows Rensselaer County continues to be a good investment for employers and new businesses. The county has seen success with projects like Regeneron, new development at the Rensselaer Technology Park and other businesses and the audit will help continue that trend. We are happy to have contributed to the positive audit with reductions in spending and other efficiencies.

The Legislature also continued review of a proposal by the Executive to relocate the Social Services and Probation offices in the Broadway area of downtown Troy to Flanigan Square on River Street. The lease submitted for consideration did not include some needed provisions and review of the proposed lease is continuing.

We also welcomed the family of Steven Millens of East Greenbush and presented them with a resolution mourning Steve’s passing and recognizing his service to the community.

The Legislature passed various resolutions relating to the maintenance and repair of county roads, supplies for that work and rental of equipment for specialized road work.

The new 2013 version of the popular Rensselaer County Officials and Services Directory is now available free of charge to county residents and businesses. The County Officials and Services Directory includes useful information about federal, state and local government offices serving the county, contact information for elected officials, community organizations and civic groups. To order a copy, call 270-2880 or visit the legislative website at www.rensselaercounty.org.

The next meeting of the Rensselaer County Legislature is Tuesday, July 9, 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.

The Heritage Festival will be featuring the Kleine Klezmer Orchestra. Known as the premier Klezmer band of upstate New York, this ensemble plays original arrangements of classic Klezmer tunes.

The month of June has definitely been moving along quickly here at Town Hall. So far this month we have had a number of meetings regarding all of the projects that are going on in Town. Just last week we had a meeting with Delaware and Chazen Engineering firms to touch base with the progress of the Waste Water Treatment Plant project. We are currently still in the early stages of financing, but have submitted all of our documents to the Environmental Facilities Corporation (EFC) and are now waiting for word to move into the next step of this project.

The Planning Department has been busy at work with the Mannix Road Roundabout Project, the Hampton Manor Lake Project and many more. I am pleased to announce that with the Hampton Manor Lake Project the Town has launched a Hampton Manor Lake Newsletter. This newsletter will be included with the Hampton Manor water bills shortly. This will allow all residents to see what steps we are taking to keep this beautiful natural resource alive within our Town. I hope everyone takes the chance to read over it. As the information becomes available regarding the schedule of the Mannix Road Roundabout Project and the schedule for the 9&20 repaving, we will be sure to keep everyone informed.

On another note, at our June Town Board Meeting we had the privilege of awarding some of the youth of our community “The Spotlight on Youth Award”. This award goes out to youth in our community from age 11-18 that attend East Greenbush Central School Districts. Each recipient is nominated by a teacher or administrator for their contribution to our community. This year the Community and Recreations Department received 15 nominations for awards. This is a great way to wrap up the school year. Congratulations to all of the award recipients. I would also like to congratulate all of the recent graduates of Columbia High School’s Class of 2013 and wish each and every one of you the best of luck on all of your future endeavors.

JORDAN’S DAIRY PART 2 My last installment talked about the beginnings of Jordan’s Dairy. Many people worked for Jordan’s Dairy over the years.

Some of the names I’ve uncovered are Harvey Jenkins and William Newbury who delivered milk on the Rensselaer and Albany Routes. Other employees included Florence Hoffman, Joseph Dooley, Stanley Brunnell and Thomas Cox. By the 1960’s, the milk delivery aspect of the dairy lost its profitability. People could get their milk from grocery stores and it became more expensive to provide weekend deliveries to customer’s homes. In September 1963, Jordan’s merged with Normanskill Dairy. They closed the dairy and removed the half circle wooden dairy bar. Eventually, Normanskill closed the entire operation and sold the building to Troy City Garage in the fall of 1971. Residents may remember the signs for snowmobiles and Yamaha motorcycles.

The dairy bar is gone, but there are other aspects of Chet Jordan’s life which are interesting. Chet Jordan was one of the founders of the Defreestville Fire Department and served as Fire Chief. The first fire truck was stored in the dairy before the fire station was built and the first fire siren was installed somewhere between the dairy and Marty Herbert’s Texaco Station (now Heim’s). The dairy phone was one of the emergency numbers to call for the fire department and whoever answered could activate the siren.

After the fire station was built, small “telephone poles” were installed behind the buildings along Route 4 down to the fire siren on the new fire station. These buildings were the KaiserFraiser car dealership, Herbert’s Pharmacy and Nittinger Plaza and his Lumber Company. The last of those poles came down when the dairy building was torn down.

Jordan’s special hobby was collecting guns and rifles from the early 1800’s. Over the years, Chet won more than 100 sharp shooting medals and two of his trophies are on display in the Fort Ticonderoga Museum.

All in all, Chet Jordan lived an interesting life in Defreestville.

If only we could still get his ice cream.

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 June 11, 2013 legislative meeting. Just days prior to the meeting, I asked the state to consider an educational effort for areas of the Hudson River to alert fishers and other visitors about the deep water along the shore and fast-moving currents. Areas along the river are becoming more popular, particularly during warmer months. I would like to see an educational program staged at the Boys and Girls Club to help improve safety along the river.

In late May, legislators received an independent audit which found county finances well-managed and in solid shape, despite an ongoing recession. The audit also positively mentioned some ideas proposed by the Legislature, including energy performance contracts that have generated a savings for taxpayers. Along with the energy performance contracts, the Legislature also has reduced spending in legislative operations and $900,000 from a re-bid of the county insurance contract.

I was proud to sponsor a resolution recognizing the 43rd anniversary of the founding of the Rensselaer Area Senior Center.

We welcomed director Gloria Fonda and center volunteers to thank them for their service. When budget cuts threatened closure of the center two years ago, I was able to work with other officials to secure enough funding to keep the center open. I look forward to many more years of operation of the center.

Legislators also welcomed members of the Rensselaer Rams Baseball team to congratulate team members for a championship season, including an overall record of 15-4 and league record of 12-0. Congratulations to the team, coaches, fans and parents.

The new 2013 version of the popular Rensselaer County Officials and Services Directory is now available free of charge to county residents and businesses. The Directory includes useful information about federal, state and local government offices serving the county, contact information for elected officials, community organizations and civic groups.

St. Timothy’s Church is offering a VBS program full of activities for ReNew: The Green VBS. What can your children expect this year, while they learn to grow in faith, have fun, and change the world? Here is an outline.

Monday: Planting Seeds, Each day at Re-New we’ll plant a seed pot and plant a seed. We’ll think of them as God’s love.

Tuesday: Taking Root, we will learn about the four different places the seeds landed as told in the story of the Sower.

What motivates us to care for God’s creation?

Wednesday: Growing – Rocky Ground. It can be hard but God’s love grows everywhere! What do we need in order for God’s love to grow in us? Thursday: Facing Challenges – Thorns.

It is a challenge to grow with weeds and thorns all around you, but God is there to help. Friday: Living Together – Good Soil. It’s a contagious crop that spreads to our families and friends as we live together in God’s love, and that love’s name is Jesus! Friday Evening: Families and students present the “Grand Finale Celebration.” Program runs August 5-9, 8:30AM to 12:30PM. Registration deadline is July 15th, call 326-5276.

At Doors of Hope, we continue to be thankful for all the appreciative clients, faithful contributors /customers and dedicated volunteers. Our food pantry and thrift store depends on great folks to keep the food pantry well stocked. This truly benefits those in need.

We have successfully “gone green” and use recycled bags for food pick-up. Please bring in your own bags and/or donate bags to keep our expenses down.

We appreciate donations. Please deliver your donations when the shop is OPEN. It is a tripping hazard to have doorways blocked when donations are left after hours. A safety concern exists for the volunteers attempting to clear after hours donations from exits and entrances.

Finally, we will be closed Thursday, July 4th, Friday the 5th, and July 6th. We hope you have a safe and restful weekend.

The Dutch claimed the land in 1609 based on Henry Hudson’s exploration of the Hudson River. Settlement occurred at least as early as 1628. By 1642 there was a brewery and many farms, also a ferry was established by Hendrick Albertsen running from the mouth of Beaver Creek in Beverwyck (Albany) to the future Rensselaer. Greenbush (originally t’Greyn Bos in Dutch) was the earliest settlement from Dutch times.

The Van Rensselaer family built Fort Crailo in approximately 1712. At various times, the grounds were used as a campground for British and colonial troops. It is reportedly the place where, in 1755, British Army surgeon Richard Shuckburgh, quartered in the home, wrote the ditty “Yankee Doodle” to mock the colonial troops who fought with the British in the French and Indian Wars. Fort Crailo was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1961.

In 1897, the hamlet of Greenbush, portion of the city between Partition and Mill Street, was chartered as a city, and its name was changed to Rensselaer. Its limits were extended in 1902 by the annexation of the village of Bath and the western part of the town of East Greenbush.

In the 19th century, Rensselaer became the site of the Boston & Albany Railroad’s (B&A) passenger depot, shops, freight houses, round house, and coach yard. It was the site of transfers between trains of the New York Central Railroad and the B&A. A ferry transported people to and from the Van Rensselaer Island and downtown Albany at Maiden Lane. In 1871, the Maiden Lane Bridge was built replacing the ferry.

In 1882, the Hudson River Aniline and Color Works built their first plant and would be acquired by the Bayer Corporation in 1903, and became the American home for the production of brand-name Aspirin. The US government seized the property in 1917 during World War I as enemy property, Bayer being a German company.

The Dunn Memorial Bridge was built in 1967 between Albany and Rensselaer. The bridge was to continue east through Rensselaer connecting with Interstate 90 at Exit 8. In 1968, the current Amtrak Station was relocated to Rensselaer; the Maiden Lane Bridge and all the railroad associated buildings were demolished when in 1969 the Rensselaer City school was built north of Quackenderry Creek.

In the 2000s, another wave of development has been occurring in Rensselaer. The redevelopment of the waterfront property is named de Laet’s Landing in honor of Johan de Laet. There has yet to be any breaking ground. Today’s Amtrak station was built with three tracks. In January 2007, it was announced that a fourth track would be built, allowing freight trains to bypass the station and reduce delays.

TOWN OF SL RESIDENTS – SEWER BILLING Beginning July 1, 2013, the Town of Sand Lake will be sending out sewer bills for the town’s portion of the sewer bill. The Town’s sewer bill will no longer be combined with Rensselaer County’s bill.

Over the past few years, the Town has paid Rensselaer County a fee to invoice and collect our Town’s sewer charges. The Town Board decided that the Town could conduct its own billing at a savings to the taxpayers. This change will also enable our sewer payments to be available for immediate use upon collection and improve recordkeeping with the town maintaining an electronic database of its sewer customers.

Since residents are used to receiving a combined Town and County sewer bill, this will be a change for our residents. If residents have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact Kate Kalinowski at the Sand Lake Town Hall at 674-2026 ext 37. ~ Melissa Elacqua, Town of Sand Lake Comptroller

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 June 11, 2013 legislative meeting.

Prior to the meeting, legislators and county officials received good news with the release of an independent audit in late May. The independent audit finds county finances in very good shape despite the recession and mandate increases.

The audit presented to county officials praised ideas put forward by the Legislature, including cost-saving energy performance contracts. The Legislature has also reduced costs in the legislative operations, and saved $900,000 through a re-bid of the county insurance contract.

Beginning in May, legislators have been reviewing a proposal by the Executive to relocate offices for county Social Services and Probation departments from the Broadway area of downtown Troy to Flanigan Square on River Street. The issue was tabled because the proposed lease did not address certain items needed to move forward.

Legislators continue to receive many calls regarding the NY Safe Act. The Legislature became one of the first legislative bodies in the state to oppose the Safe Act via resolution at the February 12 legislative meeting. At the June meeting, we adopted a resolution supporting a State Senate resolution to repeal the Safe Act. We also adopted a resolution praising County Clerk Frank Merola’ s efforts to protect county taxpayers for costs related to the Safe Act. The Safe Act requires those who wish to keep pistol permit information confidential to submit an opt-out form. The cost of processing the opt-out forms is expected to be significant, and we also passed a resolution asking for passage of a state law automatically keeping permit information confidential.

The new 2013 version of the popular Rensselaer County Officials and Services Directory is now available free of charge to county residents and businesses. The County Officials and Services Directory includes useful information about federal, state and local government offices serving the county, contact

The Nassau and Stuyvesant Reformed Churches invite you to worship with them on Sunday, June 30, 2013, as they look at Paul’s letter to the Galatians 5:1, 13-25. At the time of this writing, the Galatian believers were on the verge of becoming enslaved to the law of Moses; and Paul deemed they needed to be reminded that believers in Christ must always stand fast in the liberty of not having to keep the Law of Moses in order to be saved. Reverend Edward L. Van Kampen will speak about how, In commitment to Christ, we are under the Law of Christ; and Salvation is by grace alone; In response to being saved as a gift, we are brought to engage in disciplines that help to cultivate the Spirit’s gifts in our lives and in Christian community.

Join us and come to more fully understand how the gifts of the Spirit bring us to disciplines (behaviors) that result in spiritual muscle for building the Kingdom of Christ.

The Nassau Reformed Church worships at 11 a.m. in its chapel at 43 Church Street, Route 20, in the village of Nassau. The Stuyvesant Reformed worships at 9 a.m. in its sanctuary at the corner of Church Street and Route 9J in the hamlet of Stuyvesant.

AUCTION TO BENEFIT CHINA TRIP for TVHS STUDENTS A charitable auction will be conducted June 29, starting at noon at the Fucillo Ford, located at 634 Columbia Turnpike in East Greenbush.

Proceeds of the event will be used to help defray the costs of a trip to China for four TVHS students who have been selected to take part in a two-week cultural exchange and camp.

A preview of the items to be auctioned begins 11 a.m.

The auction will feature everything from collectibles to gift certificates to antiques and even the opportunity to conduct a wine tasting for up to 40 friends.

The event seeks to raise thousands of dollars to cover the airfare of students who are travelling to China from July 10 through July 25.

The Office of Chinese Language Council International (Hanban) will host TVHS students Sara Savoia from Cairo-Durham, Andrew Glanton and Ben Rice from Averill Park and William Kested from Greenville, as well as teacher Jason Irwin.

The students were chosen for the honor by the Confucius Institute and are part of a select group of High School students from across the country who will spend approximately 30 hours in language class, 15 hours in cultural class where they will study Chinese ink painting, calligraphy, clay figurines and more, and 15 hours in various outdoor activities, such as visiting high schools, taking part in sports with high school students and visiting families. The students will also sightsee, including a trip to Beijing, and take a final exam.

While the Chinese government covers the cost of the students while they are in China, each student must pay their own airfare.
