Pai’s Tae Kwon Do is a family-run business that opened its doors in 1984. Currently, there are seven Capital District locations including Troy, Rensselaer and Guilderland.

We offer a variety of programs geared toward children, adults, families and corporate wellness. Whether your goals are to become more fit, learn self-defense techniques, compete in martial arts tournaments or simply to make some wonderful friends, Pai’s Tae Kwon Do can meet your needs.

Grandmaster, Doo Young Pai trained from his youth in Korea, and upon leaving the military, joined family members here in the United States. He currently holds the World Taekwondo Federation rank of 8th Degree Black Belt. This most prestigious rank was accompanied by an award from the World Taekwondo Federation for Grandmaster Pai in honor of his contribution in bringing this art to America.

We specialize in offering opportunity to our students to become more fit, both mentally and physically, and to learn self-defense techniques, all in a fun, non-threatening environment. Our black belt instructors are skilled martial artists who serve as mentors and teachers while patiently sharing their knowledge with students ranging from age 3 to 80. They will guide you toward greater self-discipline and confidence as you improve your flexibility, balance and overall coordination. Programs help you achieve a higher level of fitness and a greater knowledge of self-defense. Additional benefits of Taekwondo include increased energy and endurance, toning muscles and losing inches. Skills learned in class seamlessly transfer to everyday life. Every program can be adapted to suit an individual’s needs and ability.

During this past year, hundreds of our students have progressed closer to their goal of becoming a Black Belt. The Albany, Troy and Rensselaer locations currently have about 400 active color belt members and about 80 active Black Belts.

We have celebrated the promotion of 21 new 1st degree Black Belts, 7 new 2nd degree Black Belts, 5 new 3rd degree Black Belts; and we would like to congratulate John McAuley on his promotion to 4th Degree Black Belt.

Pai’s Tae Kwon Do in the past year has also sent competitors to State Championships, NYS Governor’s Cup, ATU National Championships and USA National Championships. These athletes did an excellent job representing their school and New York State bringing back medals at every level of competition.

Pai’s has also had a very giving year. This was our third year of partnering with 12 local PTA programs which resulted in the donation of over $9000 to these local organizations. Pai’s also donated hundreds of gifts in the local Toys for Tots campaign.

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 December 8, 2015 legislative meeting.

Along with the December 8 meeting, legislators considered the 2016 county budget on December 1. The budget is the fifth consecutive budget to stay under the state tax cap while protecting needed services. The budget as adopted will also protect the county’s solid bond ratings and financial reviews.

The Legislature helped by again keeping costs for legislative operations comparable to 20 years ago. The Legislature also recently undertook a comprehensive rebid of the county insurance policy, and the county now pays less than what was paid for insurance in the early 1990s.

The county has been able to control costs by utilizing innovative shared services agreements. At the December 8 legislative meeting, we approved an annual shared service agreement that provides for the county to work with municipalities in the county to handle snow plowing, salting and sanding services at a reduced cost.

The county has also utilized new initiatives to obtain energy for use by the county at a reduced cost. At the December 8 meeting, we approved an agreement that will allow the county to utilize hydroelectric power for county facilities, including the county sewer department.

Legislators also met December 15 for a year-end meeting to handle minor financial items related to the end of the fiscal year.

We were saddened to learn of the passing of former Majority Leader Ralph Vartigian, a North Greenbush resident and World War II veteran who served as legislator from 1989 to 2001.

Ralph was a gentleman and an effective legislator who will be missed.

Our best wishes for a safe, joyous and prosperous New Year.

The next regular monthly meeting of the Rensselaer County Legislature is Tuesday, January 12, 2016. 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.

GREENBUSH HISTORICAL SOCIETY Join the Greenbush Historical Society on Sunday, Jan. 10th, 2PM, at the East Greenbush Library for a program entitled, “A Riot in Greenbush - the Anti-Rent War Remembered”. This “war” was a tenant revolt in upstate New York mainly during the 19th century; it was a rebellion against feudal land practices by the patroon system and specifically against the VanRensselaer family. This talk will be presented by Jill Witbeck Knapp, the great great granddaughter of William Witbeck. William was the Greenbush farmer who was tried for the murder of Deputy Sheriff Willard Griggs during an anti-rent incident in 1869. Sheriff Griggs was shot and killed when he and a posse traveled to the Witbeck farm to take possession of it by court order. This “affray” as it was often called in the local papers, as well as in major papers throughout the east coast, was a major news story of its time. In fact, it received so much “pretrial” publicity that the prosecution sought and won a change of venue to Saratoga County. The various legal proceedings, sometimes humorous testimony of witnesses, tragic impacts on those involved, and the final resolution will be discussed. Please join us for this most informative afternoon - all are welcome.

THEY NEED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL Letter to the Editor: People working for Kinder Morgan need to go back to school. A simple thing is learned by all in kindergarten.

NO MEANS NO!! People working for Kinder Morgan still do not understand NO ACCESS MEANS NO ACCESS!! Last week, for a second time, I caught workers for Kinder Morgan on my property without permission. This time they were 150 ft. in on my property. When asked what they were doing on PRIVATE PROPERTY, all they did was use their cell phone and call their people and said “We have a bleep, bleep, bleep landowner here”. This time I have pictures. I called the Schodack Police while they were trespassing. They would not answer any questions while they left my property. After they left, I went to the Schodack Police station to finish filing a second complaint.

I was told that the NYS Attorney General’s office had contacted them and all local police agencies. The NYS Attorney General’s office is requesting any and all complaints filed pertaining to the pipeline. The State is looking into these complaints! Do not let them intimidate you. File a complaint with your local police agency if you have had this happen to you.

So all property owners along the power lines need to be aware and protect your property rights! ~ Frank Curtis, Nassau (Town of Schodack) 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.

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 December 8, 2015 legislative meeting.

Along with the December 8 meeting, legislators met December 1 to consider the 2016 county budget. The 2016 budget is the fifth consecutive budget to stay under the state tax cap while protecting needed county services. I am particularly pleased next year’s budget adequately funds the operation of the Rensselaer Senior Center.

The budget also maintains the solid fiscal position earned by the county, including positive independent audits and bond ratings. The Legislature helped by keeping spending in legislative offices at levels comparable to twenty years ago, and keeping insurance costs below levels from the early 1990s thanks to a comprehensive rebid.

At the December 8 meeting, we approved an agreement that will allow the county to utilize hydroelectric power for county facilities, including the county sewer department.

I was saddened to see the passing of Ralph Vartigian, a former Legislature majority leader who passed away in December.

As a longtime supporter of the Rensselaer Boys and Girls Club, I was happy to see the Club be selected to receive $400,000 in state funds during recent grant awards. The state funds will help support the important work done at the Club now and in the coming years.

A number of residents have contacted me regarding progress of work on Washington Avenue, Broadway and Columbia Turnpike. Residents are frustrated with the delays, noise and disruption caused by the projects. I have asked city leaders to see what can be done to move along completion and bring an end to the disruptions.

Best wishes for a safe, joyous and prosperous New Year. The next regular monthly meeting of the Rensselaer County Legislature is Tuesday, January 12, 2015. 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.

HILLARY or DONALD? SHAKESPEARE WEIGHS IN Letter to the Editor: I’m so confused by the presidential campaign, with all the bickering, name calling and accusations among all the candidates, I decided to seek the opinions of a genius about which of the two runners...Hillary and Donald...has the best character and therefore the vote of a genius. Who better to ask than Willie Shakespeare? He knows human nature better than anyone (I considered Freud...but I don’t agree with his criticisms of women...particularly what he believed they envy.) Now how do I conjure up Shakespeare? In King Henry IV, Owen Glendower, that welsh rebel windbag says, “I can call spirits from the vastly deep” to which young Hotspur replies, “Why so can I or so can any man...but will they come when you do call for them?”

So I called up Willie Shakespeare and because I love him, he answered and agreed to give me his wisdom regarding Hillary and the Donald.

On Hillary he said, and I quote: she is “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” Her campaign promises are “a tale told by an idiot.”

On the Donald he and I quote: “...the elements so mixed in him that Nature might stand up and say to all the world, ‘This was a man.!’”

Wow!! I am so impressed. I tried to thank Willie Shakespeare... but he was gone...back to the vastly deep from whence he came. But he confirmed my judgment.

Thank you, Sir. RIP. Sylvia Sylvia Honig, Wynantskill 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.

LEGISLATURE APPROVES ‘16 COUNTY BUDGET WITH BI-PARTISAN VOTE The Rensselaer County Legislature approved the 2016 budget, the fifth consecutive county budget to remain under the state tax cap, during a special meeting on December 1, Chair of the Legislature Stan Brownell announced. The adopted budget also protects needed county services, including services for seniors, veterans and youths, and will also safeguard the positive fiscal standings and bond ratings earned by the county in recent years. The budget also maintains a modest fund balance to help protect services in the coming months.

“We are proud to once again adopt a budget that protects taxpayers and needed services, and helps maintain the solid fiscal position earned by the county for accurate budgeting and responsible management,” said Brownell. “This is a fiscally responsible budget that stays under the state tax cap despite some challenging economic conditions. The 2016 budget is a solid plan that will help encourage investment and new opportunity in the county,” said Vice Chair for Finance Phil Danaher.

The budget as introduced by County Executive Jimino includes a minimal 1.88 percent tax increase, which falls below the state tax cap. Rensselaer County is one of a select number of counties across the state who have kept taxes under the state tax cap each of the past five years since the tax cap was implemented. Minimal changes were made by legislators to the budget, with one change the addition of funds for road repair and improvement. “Road repair, improvement and maintenance are some of the most important services provided by the county. We would like to see more county roads improved and repaired in 2016,” said Majority Leader Ken Herrington.

The Legislature also helped by keeping costs in legislative departments comparable to levels of two decades ago. A recent re-bid of the county insurance policy kept county insurance costs lower than what was paid by the county two decades ago. “The Legislature works to make every dollar count, and we are proud to be able to play a role in reducing costs and help protect services and stabilize taxes,” said Vice Chair of the Legislature Alex Shannon.

INTERFAITH CHURCH of the CAPITAL AREA The Interfaith Church of the Capital Area will hold its monthly service on January 3, 2016 at 4PM at 51 Green St., Rensselaer. The service will be conducted by the Rev. Dr. Charles Semowich. The theme of the service will be “Beginnings: Old and New”.

The service will contain readings, prayers, music, and a sermon on the theme.

Refreshments will be served, All are welcomed to come regardless of faith. Services will continue the first Sunday of each month at 4PM. THE ADVERTISER ARCS, ARCN DECEMBER 31, 2015 PAGE 7

As legislative representatives of District 4, including the towns of Schodack, Sand Lake and Nassau, we are happy to provide our constituents with a report on actions taken at the December 8, 2015 legislative meeting.

December is a busy month, including a December 1 special meeting to consider the 2016 budget. The budget is the fifth consecutive budget to stay under the state tax cap, along with protecting needed services and the county’s strong fiscal standing. The 2016 budget makes Rensselaer County one of a select number of counties to stay under the tax cap since the cap was implemented.

The Legislature helped by holding the line on spending in legislative offices, with budget levels comparable to the early 1990s. The Legislature also supervised a comprehensive rebid of the county insurance contract that kept county insurance rates lower than what was paid by the county over twenty years ago.

At the December 8 meeting, we approved an annual shared service agreement that provides for the county to work with municipalities to handle snow plowing, salting and sanding services at reduced cost. We also approved an agreement that will allow the county to utilize hydroelectric power for county facilities, including the county sewer department.

During these challenging times, our county is fortunate to be aided by volunteers manning food banks. We provided funds to assist The Anchor food pantry in Castleton help families during the holidays. Residents are invited to help food pantries in their communities assist our neighbors.

Like many, we were saddened to learn of the passing of former Majority Leader Ralph Vartigian, a North Greenbush resident and World War II veteran who served as legislator from 1989 to 2001. Ralph was a gentleman and an effective legislator who will be missed.

Best wishes for a happy and prosperous 2016. The next regular monthly meeting of the Rensselaer County Legislature is Tuesday, January 12, 2016. 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.

Some time after Jesus was born, Magi – Astronomers – from the East followed a special star to where the young Christ Child lived. They brought Him gifts: gold, frankincense and myrrh. Little did they know that this baby was about to give them an even more precious gift.

Discover that gift this week as Pastor Henry preaches on Ephesians 3:1-12 in a sermon entitled: “The Perfect Gift.”

Come as the Magi did, seeking Jesus as our special guest this week, and every week, as we worship the God who revealed His Son to us as Savior and Lord. Love Lutheran Church is located at Middlesex Road and Pheasant Lane in East Greenbush.

DEATH ROW SPEAK The man You see in this small cell Is not a man...he’s just a shell The rage that fueled my killing force Left no room for true remorse Was my crime an act of hate Or the murder a sign of fate?

Do I have a fear of death, A nightmare of my life’s last breath?

Do you take the moral stance That killers need a second chance?

Murder is a mortal sin I have earned the cell I’m in.

Murder is a heinous crime I deserve to do the time.

Forgive me not...I think you know There’s no pity on death row.

My life and soul are still all dark But there remains a last lone spark Of Infinite human care and concern That in my cold heart continues to burn..

That warms what’s left of the life I live In the hope that I may myself forgive. ~ Sylvia Honig, Wynantskill

RESOLVE TO GIVE BLOOD IN JANUARY FOR NATIONAL BLOOD DONOR MONTH All those who give blood or platelets in January will receive a $5 Dunkin’ Donuts gift card. The American Red Cross asks eligible blood donors to make a resolution to give blood regularly in 2016, beginning with National Blood Donor Month in January.

For the ninth year, the Red Cross and Dunkin’ Donuts will partner in January to help increase donations and reward generous donors during National Blood Donor Month. Through the “Dunkin’ Donors Make a Difference” campaign, all those who come to give blood or platelets in January at Red Cross blood drives in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and parts of New York will receive a $5 Dunkin’ Donuts gift card.* The DD Card can be used toward the purchase of any item at participating Dunkin’ Donuts – including coffee, hot chocolate and baked goods, among other items. In addition, the DD gift card features a Red Cross logo, is reloadable and can also be enrolled in the DD Perks® Rewards program. National Blood Donor Month recognizes the importance of giving blood and platelets while honoring those who roll up a sleeve to help patients in need. It has been observed during January since 1970, and that’s no coincidence. Winter is an especially difficult time to collect enough blood to meet patient needs. Unpredictable winter weather can result in blood drive cancelations, and seasonal illnesses, like the flu, may cause some donors to be unable to make or keep blood donation appointments. Donors of all blood types are needed, especially those with O negative, A negative and B negative. With a shelf life of 42 days, red blood cells must be constantly replenished to maintain an adequate supply for patients. To learn more about donating blood and to schedule an appointment, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767). • 1/4/2016: 1 p.m. - 6 p.m., Brunswick Community Center, 18 Keyes Lane, Troy; • 1/5/2016: 10 a.m. - 2 p.m., Rensselaer Technology Park, 100 Defreest Drive, Troy; • 1/6/ 2016: 10 a.m. - 3 p.m., St Marys Hospital, 1300 Massachusetts Ave., Troy; • 1/8/2016: 8 a.m. - 1 p.m., Troy Boys and Girls Club, 1700 7th Avenue, Troy; • 1/9/2016: 8 a.m. - 1 p.m., Our Lady of Victory Church, Marshland Court, Troy.

This week, we are honoring senior, Emma Mancino, as Scholar Athlete. Emma runs both indoor and outdoor track for AP. Emma first began track nine years ago with Road Runners, the local track club, when she was in 3rd grade.

She later joined the high school track team and has been running on the outdoor track team for five years now and the indoor team for two.

Emma prefers to long jump and sprint. She runs indoor track as a way to keep in shape for outdoor, and tries to workout 5 days a week. Emma is often inspired by her team, “The whole team inspires me to be a better person. Our team is like a family, standing by each other and pushing each other to be the best we can be,” she quotes.

In her spare time, Emma tutors; and you can often find her participating in theater, both in and out of school. Academically, Emma has a 93.7 GPA and is currently taking Participation in Government, Theater for Young People, Writers Workshop, and goes to Hudson Valley to take Calculus. After high school, Emma hopes to attend Niagara University and major in Biochemistry. However, she doesn’t think she will continue on with track in college.

For Emma being a scholar athlete is about time management, Emma says, “Being a scholar athlete proves to me that no matter how busy my life can be, with organization and hard work, anything is possible!”

We wish Emma the best of luck as she continues on with her final season of track at APHS! ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

I STILL HAVE QUESTIONS Letter to the Editor: Dan Holser continues to inform the town residents of how much water his well can pump.

He states that at 127 gallons per minute the level drops 1 foot. This is the definition of a wells production. Basically it replaces the water used at 127 gallons per minute, so if you used more, the well would run dry and need time to refill.

I believe everything he has said. My question is how much water is needed?

I could not find any information telling me requirements for municipal water supplies. I do not know how many homes, businesses, or schools need town water. These and other questions would need to be answered by an engineering study. A big question is cost.

The town would need a large grant to accomplish this project, and I am sure any grant would need answer to these questions.

I did investigate water needs for an average home. It is suggested that between 80 and 100 gallons per person per day is needed for in house use. Uses like bathing, toilets, drinking and cooking. It does not include watering the garden, lawn, washing cars etc. The town of Sand Lake in the 2010 census had 8530 residents. If 2132 people used 1/4 town water at 80 gallon per day, we would need slightly over 170 thousand gallons per day. Dan’s well produced approximately 183 thousand gallons per day or about 8% more than would be needed in this example.

I think a lot more information is needed and I hope the town board does a thorough investigation before buying anything. ~ John Sniezyk, Averill Park 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.

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 December 8, 2015 legislative meeting.

Along with the December 8 meeting, legislators considered the 2016 county budget on December 1. The budget is the fifth consecutive budget to stay under the state tax cap while protecting needed services. The budget as adopted will also protect the county’s solid bond ratings and financial reviews.

The Legislature helped by keeping costs for legislative operations comparable to 20 years ago. The Legislature also recently undertook a comprehensive rebid of the county insurance policy, and the county now pays less than what was paid for insurance in the early 1990s.

The county has been able to control costs by utilizing innovative shared services agreements. At the December 8 meeting, we approved an annual shared service agreement providing for the county to work with county municipalities to handle snow plowing, salting and sanding services at a reduced cost.

The county has also utilized new initiatives to obtain energy at a reduced cost. At the December 8 meeting, we approved an agreement allowing the county to utilize hydroelectric power for county facilities, including the sewer department.

The Legislature also voted to appoint members to the county Environmental Management, Health and Soil and Water Conservation District boards.

Legislators also met December 15 for a year-end meeting to handle minor financial items related to the end of the fiscal year.

We were saddened to learn of the passing of former Majority Leader Ralph Vartigian, a North Greenbush resident and World War II veteran who served as legislator from 1989 to 2001.

Ralph was a gentleman and an effective legislator who will be missed.

Best wishes for a happy and prosperous 2016. The next regular monthly meeting of the Rensselaer County Legislature is Tuesday, January 12, 2016. 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.

GREENBUSH GARDEN CLUB “THE ALLERGY FIGHTING GARDEN” If you love your garden, but it causes you to sniffle, sneeze, wheeze and makes your eyes water, you probably think there’s not much you can do to remedy the situation besides staying indoors or taking antihistamines. Diane Madden, garden club member and Master Gardener, will explain how your landscaping may be part of the problem. What you plant, where you plant and the role plant breeders have played in your misery will be discussed. Please join us at the East Greenbush Library on Tuesday, January 5th, at 7:30 p.m. for this informative presentation and learn how to alleviate some of your suffering.

Good company and tasty refreshments are always available at our meeting.

If you have any questions or need any further information, please contact the Greenbush Garden Club directly at greenbushgardener@gmail.com.

Pet Adoption of the Week GAGE

- Happy guy, he is a 45lb chow mix and has the personality of a big goof! He loves everyone and loves to play with the other dogs.

His favorite game is chase! He was rescued from a shelter and now safe in foster care. He had most of his fur shaved off due to matting, due to lack of any grooming from his previous 'owner'.

He is kind of funny looking right now because his fur has not grown in yet but his personality makes up for that! Gage is learning his housetraining manners but is crate trained and goes directly outside when he's let him out of his crate. He is a quick learner.

If you would like to meet Gage to possibly adopt him, Contact : s h e r r y 4 2 7 @ v e r i z o n . n e t or 518-393-0755
