Rensselaer County Legislature:

Urges the New York State Public Service Commission

to Investigate Fees – The Legislature is calling upon the

New York Public Service Commission to look into the newest

modem fee tacked on to residents monthly bills. The Minority

Office emphasizes that customers do have a choice; they can

continue to lease the modem provided by Time Warner Cable or

purchase their own from a third-party retailer and won’t be

charged the fee.

Urges the Governor and State Legislature to Enact

Meaningful Reforms to Pre-school Special Education -

New York State’s Pre-School Special Education program provides

essential services like speech, physical and occupational therapy

to children between the ages of three and five years of age

who have special needs. The challenge of the program in New

York is that it is misaligned between the payer and the provider

of services. Counties have no real role in the preschool special

education program, yet counties pay 40.5% of the costs.

Introduced Legislation - This Legislative Body requests State

law makers to provide comprehensive mandate relief during

2013 to ensure counties and local governments do not continue

to be over-burdened by unfunded state and federal mandates

and to ensure local budget stability and protection of needed

local services.

Advocates for Rensselaer County Residents and New

York State – The New York State Thruway Authority recently

proposed a major toll increase without opportunity for public

comment, and without convenient or accessible public hearings

for residents and business affected by the proposed increase.

Acting in the best interests of the residents, the Rensselaer

County Legislature requests a series of public hearings to be

held across the state for any future toll increase or other state

increase.

Next Meeting - The Legislature will hold its next meeting,

Tuesday, February 12th, at 5:30 PM in the Legislative Chambers,

located on the 3rd Floor of the Ned Pattison Government Center.

CO. CLERK MEROLA FAULTS STATE for

PRINTING DEFECTIVE REG. RENEWALSRensselaer County Clerk Frank J. Merola is strongly urgingRensselaer County residents to process their registrations andrenewals through County DMV after NYS DMV Processingcenters reported major problems in registration processingequipment that is preventing these centers from issuingregistration and sticker documents paid for after January 1,2013. “Due to defective document supply, anyone sending aregistration or a renewal through the Utica processing center isreceiving a letter from DMV stating that although theirtransaction has been processed, they cannot send anyregistration window sticker until they receive the new documentsupply. As a result, these drivers are in danger of being stoppedby law enforcement and ticketed for driving an unregisteredvehicle due to the state’s error.”NYS DMV is instructing drivers to keep a copy of this letter withthe most recent registration to present to law enforcement inthe event of being stopped; a procedure Mr. Merola doesn’tthink goes far enough to protect the driver. “Hopefully, lawenforcement will accept this letter and not issue tickets fordriving without a registration. But the onus is still on the driverto prove that they processed the registration and if they forgetthis letter, they will more than likely be ticketed for a violation.I sincerely hope that the state would send these affected driversa temporary registration to cover the period of time until theyreceive their permanent registration.”Mr. Merola proposes a simple solution for County drivers aboutto register or to renew a registration. “I urge all county driversto utilize County DMV in Troy for all their DMV business, includingregistrations and renewals. By registering and/or renewing inTroy, you will receive your registration form and stickerimmediately. You will not have to wait weeks for some letterstating that although the transaction is complete and yourmoney taken, they are unable to process at this time. Renewingin the County keeps a portion of that money in our County,which benefits all county residents.”Mr. Merola encourages all County residents with questionsregarding this or any other County Clerk related issue to contacthim at 270-4080.

HOW TO TRACE YOUR IRISH ANCESTORS

USING RECORDS IN THE UNITED STATESThe Troy Public Library is pleased to announce the program,“How to Trace Your Irish Ancestors Using Records in the UnitedStates,” at 11:00 am on Saturday, February 23rd, at the MainLibrary.Are you trying to narrow down your ancestor’s origins beyondjust “Ireland?” Lisa Dougherty, a volunteer at the Irish AmericanHeritage Museum in Albany, a former volunteer at the NationalArchives and Records Administration in Pittsfield, MA and amember of the Association of Professional Genealogists,explains where to look.The program is free and open to the public, but please registerat www.thetroylibrary.org or 274-7071.

THE BLOOMINGROVE SCHOOLEducation was very important to early settlers of NorthGreenbush. We are fortunate to have a building still in existencewhich may have been the first school in the town. Today thebuilding serves as an office for a CPA firm and is located twodoors down from the Bloomingrove Reformed Church.It is an example of the style of building often used for meetinghouses in the Albany area in the 18th and early 19th century.The building is a small, one story square shaped structure witha hipped roof, octagonal central cupola with arched openings.You can see it from the parking lot of the Stewart’s store inDefreestville.The structure dates from 1809-1820 and was used as a schooluntil the late 1930’s or early 40’s. If anyone knows the exactdate, please let me know (283-6384).Before schools were established, I imagine schooling wasundertaken by individual families. I have a copy of a receipt toPeter Defreest dated January 1, 1797 for teaching his daughterCatrina writing and spelling. We also must remember that manypeople, both male and female, could not read or write.The property was deeded to the school trustees in 1809. Theindenture states that “the inhabitants of the neighborhood areanxious and desirous to erect a house for the education andinstruction of youth and the promotion of the gospel.”This last phrase is important: early schools were taught by thelocal minister. In this case, the teacher was probably Rev.Nicholas J. Marselus who served as pastor for the BloomingGrove Reformed Church when it was built in 1817.The early classes were taught in Dutch because the heritage ofour earliest settlers was Dutch. Several years ago I took agroup of Cub Scouts on a walking tour of the area. I told themthe Dutch Pastor taught the school children and the languagetaught was Dutch. I asked them where the settlers came from.One boy answered “Dutchland!” Oh well, he had the right idea.By the late 1920’s costs for running the school increased from$1,800 to $2,800 in one year. The trend in education was toconsolidate schools into larger districts. This would impact bothBloomingrove and Bell Top School, but that is a story for thenext article.

DRAMATIC FINAL ACT

It was a dramatic final act for the Village Stage. The theatergroup operating in Troy has decided to call it quits. Joe Starzykwho has been the president for the last 18 months says, “Itisn’t a sad day, but a happy one. When we took over 18months ago, the group was broke and had been performing todwindling audiences. We were profitable and played to nearlysold out venues. Aside from that, we were able to provideseveral free performances and provided a rising playwrightsscholarship to a student from Ichabod Crane.”As part of the dissolution, the group was able to provideextensive financial help to deserving groups. Soul RebelPerformance Troupe, Averill Park High School Drama Club andARC of Rensselaer County were the beneficiaries. “We reallywanted to support deserving groups that were doing somethingdifferent. And we are thrilled to help provide opportunities tominority actors, disabled actors and a local high school dramaprogram.”Going forward, Starzyk will continue to produce plays asfundraisers under the title of Starzyk Play Productions.

CAN YOU SAY “CHEESE”?

No, it is not for a picture. I amtalking about one of my favoritedairy products, cheese. After thecows are milked and theirwholesome milk is shipped to themilk plant, some of the milk is usedto make other dairy products such

as cheese. It takes ten pounds of milk to make one pound ofcheese. The process of making cheese is very long andextensive, involving various steps and aging of the cheese.Different types of cheese have different processes and aginglengths. I am sure you know of some these types of cheesesfrom cheddar to mozzarella to pepper jack and so many more.There are plenty of types of cheese out there. Cheese is agreat dairy product that provides you with healthy nutrientsfor your body such as zinc, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin B-12, Vitamin A, Calcium, Protein, and Riboflavin. These nutrientsare very good for your body, such as zinc, to grow and repairtissues, along with muscles, calcium for strong bones and teeth.Cheese is an excellent way to have dairy in your diet andmeals. From grilled cheese, to mac’n’cheese to pizza, to aslice on your sandwich, there are endless possibilities to includecheese.~ Courtney Luskin, Rensselaer County Dairy Princess

DID YOU KNOW?

For decades the month ofJune held firm as the mostpopular month for weddings.But statistics now indicate thatthere may be shift ingpreferences in the time of theyear for marriages. Accordingto The National Center forHealth Statistics, July andAugust are now the mostpopular months for tying theknot in the United States.September and October havealso gained momentum aspremier months. Explanationsfor this shift vary, but it mayhave something to do withchanging weather patternsand warmer weather nowarriving later in the seasonthan in the past. Also, gettingmarried later in the year maymake it easier for couples tosecure their first choice ofwedding venues.

YOU’RE ENGAGED: NOW WHAT?YOU’RE ENGAGED: NOW WHAT?YOU’RE ENGAGED: NOW WHAT?YOU’RE ENGAGED: NOW WHAT?YOU’RE ENGAGED: NOW WHAT?

(NAPSA)—If you’re planning awedding, you have lots ofcompany. More than 2 millionweddings occur every year.The good news is that tyingthe knot is a lot less dauntingwhen you stay loose andbreak down the initial planningphase into steps:Step 1: Cap Spending-Beforeyou start number crunching,

set your priorities. Can you give up that string quartet in orderto have nicer flowers? Is serving filet mignon at a fourcoursedinner more important than hiring an incredible photographer?Once you know what elements you can and can’t live without,you’ll have a much clearer idea of how to allocate yourmoney.Try using tools such as the WeddingChannel.com budget toolfor the typical breakdown on a wedding spending limit.Step 2: Your Wedding Style- An intimate beachside ceremonyis a very different undertaking than a formal church weddingwith 300 guests. That’s why choosing a wedding style shouldbe an important step in your planning process. Discuss the typeof wedding you and your fiancé want to have. Talk about thesize of the wedding, the season in which it will take place, thelevel of formality, the time of day and any themes you may beinterested in.Step 3: Make The List- Between two families, two sets of friendsand two groups of coworkers, guest lists can add up quickly—even if you’ve agreed to keep things small. Limiting the list toimmediate family and then branching out in layers—aunts,uncles, close friends, first cousins—is a fair way to bring the

number down. And remember, you can’t choose a venue untilyou’ve decided on an approximate number of guests.Step 4: Save The Date- A good way to choose a date is byenvisioning the time of year during which you’d like your weddingto take place. Take into consideration the weather and anythemes you may have been leaning toward. Then choose twotentative dates and check the area city guide to ensure therewon’t be any major events that day that could make it difficultto find guest accommodations or reliable vendors.Step 5: Location, Location, Location-Once you’ve decided ontwo possible dates, a guest count and your ideal wedding style,it’s time to start looking into locations. You can view prospectiveceremony and reception sites by visit ing theWeddingChannel.com local vendor directory, then start settingappointments to visit your favorites in person. Most locationswill allow you a courtesy two week “pencil hold” while you makeyour final decision.

Did you know?Hurricanes and tropical storms are commonplace during

the months when many weddings take place. The Atlantic

hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30 each

year. It may be prudent for those who will be traveling for

honeymoons during this season to purchase travel

insurance to safeguard against potential trip cancellations.

Be sure to ask what will happen if your honeymoon destina-

tion should become uninhabitable by a storm.

Inquire if the trip can be cancelled when there is a hurricane

warning issued. Be sure to purchase adequate insurance

to protect you should the trip be cancelled.

As legislative representatives of District 3, including the townsof Brunswick, Pittstown and Schaghticoke, we are happy toprovide our constituents with a report on actions taken at theJanuary 8, 2013 legislative meeting.We are looking forward to 2013 and will continue to work toprotect taxpayers, needed county services and attract newjobs and opportunity to the county. Late last year, theLegislature adopted a 2013 budget under the state tax capand played a role in helping Regeneron expand and create 300new jobs.Legislators also requested the state Public Service Commissionto review a new fee being levied by Time Warner. Time Warneris now charging a $4 monthly fee for modems already installedin homes or businesses. Many believe the fee is unnecessarygiven the modems have already been installed, and the newmodem cost is also unfair because of the ongoing recession.We will also continue to work to advocate for needed relief andreform of state and federal mandates to help protect countytaxpayers and safeguard county services. Protecting our solidfinancial position and positive bond rating will also be focalpoints during the New Year, particularly as a strong financialposition helps attract new jobs and investment to our county.Legislators passed resolutions related to ongoing efforts toprotect farmland and open space in the county, and to supporta farmer’s market. The county is continuing a relationship withthe Agricultural Stewardship Association for the farmlandprotection efforts.We were also joined by Pat Abrams of Brunswick, whose sonMichael wrote a book “Networking for Veterans” to help veteransre-enter civilian life after military service. Both Pat and Mike areveterans and we thank them for their service to our country.We also adopted a resolution thanking sponsors and supportersof the annual Christmas party for kids at the VanderheydenHall youth facility.The Legislature also welcomed the family of Willis Wiley, aresident of District 3 who passed away last fall. Willis had workedwith the City of Troy’s Public Utilities Department until hisretirement.The next meeting of the Rensselaer County Legislature isTuesday, February 12, 2013. Residents are welcome to contactus at our legislative offices by writing to the Rensselaer CountyLegislature, 1600 7th Avenue, Troy NY 12180 or by e-mailingus via the off icial legislative website atwww.rensselaercounty.org.
