Right now, you are probably getting all of your paperwork andinformation together to help us prepare your 2010 tax return.While you are gathering this information, you should also startthinking now about your tax strategy for 2011 and beyond.Some year-end tax tips never seem to go out of style; othersresult from changes to the tax law that may not last.We can help you by advising you of the new tax provisions andworking with you to develop your 2011 and future tax plans.There were a significant number of changes effective in 2009and 2010 and there will likely be additional changes this year.For example, the tax credits for energy efficiency improvementswere extended for 2010 but, while still in place for 2011, theyare less generous this year. Our goal is to make you aware of the 2010 tax changes foryour current tax return and new tax planning opportunities for2011. Important considerations for immediate savings include:• Federal and NY State credits related to dependents• Deduction for sales tax• The Making Work Pay tax credit• Expensing equipment purchases• Expanded college tuition credits• Direct contribution of IRA funds to charity• Estate tax planning considerations• Home energy saving tax breaks• Planning to minimize the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)•Reduced capital gains rates and related investment strategies•Retirement savings options and minimum distribution requirements• Expanded health care coverage options for adult childrenIn addition to tax planning and compliance, we also providefinancial, estate and retirement planning services in the same

WINTER FUN IN NORTH GREENBUSHSince we are experiencing a winter like we had in the “olddays”, I thought it would be fun to relate what kids (and adults)used to do to make the time go by in the days before iPads andXboxes.There was skating, sleigh riding and tobogganing. InWynantskill, one of the favorite places to skate was AlbiaPond, located behind Jack’s Hamburger Stand. Kids wouldshovel off the snow to make their own skating rink. Mr. Reichardhad a Model T that he once drove out into the ice and it wentthrough into the water. Is it still there?Other skating areas were where the bowling alley is located onMain Avenue, the corner of Williams Road and BloomingroveDrive, Snyders Lake and as centenarian Harold Roweremembers, a pond across from the Cumberland Farms.Residents went sleigh riding and skiing down the hills on farmsin all parts of the town. Children attending the Little RedSchoolhouse tobogganed on the hill where Hudson ValleyCommunity College is located. Members of the Blooming GroveReformed Church would, after their church meetings, go sleighriding down Route 43.In Wynantskill, the Church Street hill provided a great longsled run. Fran Baker remembers that boys built a bobsled (atwelve foot plank with an old wooden sled at each end hookedup to a car steering wheel). They pulled it to the top of the hill.Eight boys and girls would ride the bobsled starting at Diehl’shouse at the top of the hill down all the way to Main Avenue.There were few cars to worry about in those days.Riley’s Hill (across from Jack’s Hamburger Stand) was achallenging venue. The hill is steep so it was difficult to dragthe sled up the hill, but it gave you a nice long ride to thebottom. Someone would have to watch the road so that thespeeding sleds could get across the road without being hit bycars.The hills around Snyders Lake were also great places for sleighriding. The snowplow men were often nice enough to raisetheir plows so the kids could continue through the snow.All these outside activities must have been fun, but there issomething to be said for being inside with your iPad on a bitterlycold North Greenbush winter day.

EAST GREENBUSH SCRAP REVENUEUPDATE

Letter to the Editor: Many of you recall my Transfer Stationquestions last May. As it turned out, East Greenbush wasn’tcollecting its revenue from Freedman Scrapyard since October2008. The Town sent its scrap to Freedman and they neversent checks to the Town. July 2, The Troy Record wrote anarticle on this issue. Freedman blamed the Town and the Townblamed the scrapyard. Both were passing the blame like a hotpotato, but nobody was willing to simply correct the problem.Our Town Comptroller worked with the scrapyard, and, onJune 24th, was able to collect $4,638.28 in past revenues.That was all we could collect because the Town didn’t have acontract in place with Freedman. No contract means noguarantee of payments, price, nothing.Times have changed; we now collect! I submitted a couple ofFOIL requests and obtained the following information:We don’t have contracts with scrapyards, bid packages weren’tsent to scrapyards to bid the work, but now the scrap is doneon a month by month basis. Since July 30th, we’ve collected$10,340.30. Total scrap revenue generated since the neglectof revenues was discovered in May—$14,978.58 EXCELLENT!That won’t close our deficit, but it’ll pay for a Councilperson’sapproved salary.Thanks to the previous Finance Committee (I was a memberand worked on this) for their diligence. Thanks to the Chairmanof our Committee (Councilperson Rick Matters)—we helpedrecoup lost revenues and got the Town on track for collecting.Thanks to our Town Comptroller, Jim Breig. Also, thanks goesto our previous DPW Commissioner (Chris DeFruscio) and ournew DPW Commissioner (Dave VanWormer)—both gentlemencontinued with the proper recording of tipping receipts. Thisis a perfect example of residents working WITH the Town toget things done! It can work if our Town’s leaders put politicsaside and let residents use their expertise to help get thisTown on the road to recovery!! Now....about that $3.5 millionSupervisor McCabe said the City of Rensselaer owes EastGreenbush ...let’s see what we can do THERE......~Ann Taylor, East GreenbushEditors Note: The above article does not necessarily reflect the opinionor endorsement of the Editor or the Staff of THE ADVERTISER, and forall intents and purposes is impossible to verify the truth and veracity ofits contents.

THE CHURCH UNITEDIn moving from our focus on Jesus’ preaching andteaching throughout Galilee, we’ll move to the ministryof Paul and his first letter to the church in Corinth. Itis in 1 Corinthians 3:10-11, 16-23 that Paul expresses

concern for the congregation’s divisions and its ultimate impact onthe church. In the sermon, “The Church United,” the ReverendEdward L. Van Kampen will place emphasis upon God’s desire forthe church to be united on the foundation of Jesus Christ; and thatunity in the church is a gift which we must prize and let guide ourpersons and our ministry. He will point to the foundation of ourlives in Jesus Christ as our reason for being everything we are anddo to fit into the pattern provided by him for us.The annual Congregational Meeting of the Nassau Reformed washeld on Sunday last. The congregation celebrated the seven yearservice of Patricia Farnan of East Schodack as treasurer, acted inthe re-election of Deacon Richard Mooney, and approved theoperating budget for 2011.

NATIONAL GRID URGES CUSTOMERS TOCLEAR ICE AND SNOW

Build Up, Falling Ice and Snow Can Lead to Damaged NaturalGas Equipment and Elevated Co Levels

There may be a lull in the round of storms that plagued thenortheast from late December until early February, butdangerous remnants of those storms remain. Many roofs arestill laden with ice and snow and the mounds of snow createdfrom plowing, shoveling and snow blowing have shown littlesign of melting. This is why National Grid continues to urgeeveryone to take precautions to avoid the potential hazardsthese conditions present.Ice and Snow Build Up Poses Risk to Gas Equipment:The build up of ice and snow around or over natural gas meters,regulators, pipes and vents for natural gas appliances canpose a serious safety risk. Ice and snow falling from a roof candamage gas meters or service connections to customers’ homesor businesses, resulting in potential gas leaks. Home andbusiness owners should see that snow and ice build-up isproperly removed to prevent damage to this equipment. Anyonedetecting the odor of natural gas should call National Grid. Ifthe odor is present inside your building, leave the premisesimmediately and call from outside or a neighboring building.Snow removal equipment operators should also be aware ofthe presence of natural gas equipment and avoid coming incontact with meters or piling snow around vents mounted onthe outside of buildings.Ice and snow blocking vents have the potential to cause carbonmonoxide (CO) to back up into a building, resulting in carbonmonoxide poisoning to those inside. National Grid advises naturalgas customers to closely inspect areas around and over gasmeters, service hook-ups and vents, for ice and snow.Whenever possible, use a broom to remove accumulated iceand snow from around natural gas equipment. Customers arealso encouraged to test CO detectors in the home to ensurethat they are in working order.Where to Call — Carbon MonoxideIf you suspect carbon monoxide is present in your home, gooutside immediately and breathe deeply; if symptoms aresevere, call 911 immediately.After calling 911, call the following National Grid emergencycontact number:In New York: 800-892-2345Where to call – Natural gas incidents or concerns:In Upstate New York, National Grid Customers should reportgas-related incidents or concerns by contacting the company’sCustomer Service Contact Center at 800-642-4272.

EAST GREENBUSH TAX INCREASESLetter to the Editor: It is no surprise to any of you that yourtown taxes went up. Do you care? You may or may not. Youknow your Water and Sewer rates will be increasing as well.Do you care? Perhaps. What you probably DIDN’T know aboutwas one of the biggest reasons you’re facing those increases:Rensselaer. That’s right, your neighbor, whom you love andmay even share a zip code with but who owes you dearly.Dearly I say, to the tune of $3.5 million! How do we know? TheSupervisor told us so at a meeting of the newly formed CitizensFiscal Advisory Board! They do the same job as the abolishedFinance Committee but with kinder faces and fewer medialeaks. But the Supe himself leaked this one, and it’s a biggie.As I hear it told (I was not there) the City of Rensselaerdoesn’t get along with the County of Rensselaer, so the Townof East Greenbush doesn’t get paid for water or something.Who pays, then? You do! Did I get that right? And apparentlythere’s nothing in writing on any of this, it’s just a friendly wordof mouth arrangement, like with that scrap yard that didn’tpay us because there was no written contract. As I see it wehave 3 choices: We can begin stealing stuff from Rensselaeruntil we accumulate $3.5 million in assets. I’d like to see ussnatch Ft. Crailo and that nice old war memorial near the bridge.We could stick the fort right at the town line guarding ColumbiaTurnpike and man it with volunteer militia dressed like the guyon the memorial. Since we have a 2:1 manpower advantageand control of the high ground I think we’d be okay. We couldalso just file the paperwork to annex Rensselaer, but we gotenough of our own problems. No, what we probably should dois, like, just get some good lawyers involved, get it in writing,and get the money? Would that work?~Dwight Jenkins, RensselaerEditors Note: The above article does not necessarily reflect the opinionor endorsement of the Editor or the Staff of THE ADVERTISER, and forall intents and purposes is impossible to verify the truth and veracity ofits contents.

NAYSAYERS SHOULD PRESENT SOLUTIONSLetter to the Editor: In the January 27th issue of theAdvertiser, Stuart Nippes accuses the Averill Park Central SchoolDistrict Board of Education and Administration of bullyingmembers of the community and of retaliation against the childrenof those who speak out against the district. Nothing could befurther from the truth. I invite all members of this communityto attend a Board of Education meeting and see for yourself.Attend a budget round table discussion and see if you are nottreated with respect and your questions answered truthfully.It is ironic, however, that Mr. Nippes complains about bullyingwhen he, himself is a frequent contributor to a hideous,inflammatory internet blog that News 10 called nothing morethan “adult cyber bullying.” Perhaps Mr. Nippes should rememberthe biblical lesson, “let he who is without sin, cast the firststone”It is a difficult time for schools across the state, includingAverill Park, and naysayers like Mr. Nippes and those thatfrequent these anonymous blogs present absolutely nosolutions. As Sam Rayburn said, “Any jackass can kick down abarn, but it takes a good carpenter to build one.” Mr. Nippeswhich one of these is you?~Mike DiminEditors Note: The above article does not necessarily reflect the opinionor endorsement of the Editor or the Staff of THE ADVERTISER, and forall intents and purposes is impossible to verify the truth and veracity ofits contents.

RENSSELAER COUNTY CLERK RETURNSRECORD SURPLUS TO COUNTY COFFERS

Rensselaer County Clerk Frank J. Merola reports that theRensselaer County Clerk’s office has posted the largest revenuesurplus to date, returning over $600,000.00 to county coffersfor FY 2010. The Clerk’s office reported 2010 revenue of$2,598,155.36 against expenditures of $1,961,277.60 for asurplus totaling $637,000.00. County officials will use thissurplus revenue to offset any potential increases in the countytax rate which has risen due to explosive increases in statemandated programs such as Medicaid. Mr. Merola is happy toreport that this is the eleventh consecutive six figure surplusreturned to the County, an achievement made even moreimpressive due to the economic downturn that has plagued thenation. “As a former businessman, the bottom line was finishing in theblack every year. A company or a government that continuallyoperates at a deficit will not be in business for very long.” Mr.Merola said, “I am extremely pleased that my department isable to return a sizable surplus to the county coffers despitethe challenging economic times, and I am confident that we willcontinue to return surplus revenue for years to come.”In the past six years, the Clerk’s office has returned surplusrevenues totaling over $2.2 million dollars to the general fund,a result of aggressive revenue enhancement programs such asthe very successful RENEW RENSSELAER passport and motorvehicle program which has resulted in a dramatic increase inthe number of passports processed by the Rensselaer CountyClerk’s office. Mr. Merola also credits an outstanding DMVdepartment, and an aggressive DMV outreach program thathas attracted significant auto dealer business to RensselaerCounty and significantly increased DMV revenue. The photoID program instituted by Mr. Merola in 2006 has proved to beextremely popular, with residents of all Capital Region countiescoming to Rensselaer County to purchase a photo ID. “Like many other departments in County government we aredoing more with less.” Mr. Merola said, “Our departmentspending has remained flat since 2008, a result of thetremendous effort by DMV and Record Room staffs, as well asupgrades in equipment that has allowed us to maintain presentstaff levels. Our courteous and efficient service has given ouroffice the well deserved reputation as the most customer friendlyClerk’s office in the capital region. These next few years mayprove challenging as a result of the economic downturn, but Iam confident that we will continue to return needed money tothe County for the benefit of our taxpayers.”

Have you had enough winter yet? I’d like to thank the DPW fortheir continued hard work, and remind everyone to hold on totheir sense of humor and patience in the face of an unusuallytough winter. Like many towns and cities across the nation thisyear, the problem of where to put all this snow seems to con-front us on a daily basis. As much as possible, please try not toshovel your driveway into the streets, as it only ends up inyour neighbor’s driveway!I’d like to take this opportunity to share a few thoughts withyou.• The first meeting of the Fiscal Advisory Board was veryproductive, and I have every confidence that it will continue assuch. Congratulations on a great start!• Some questions have arisen regarding our town’s relationshipwith both the city and county of Rensselaer. East Greenbushand the City of Rensselaer share a water contract with theCity of Troy. At present, we are in litigation over the future ofthat contract, and believe that we will be able to come to anagreement that is a positive one. East Greenbush andRensselaer County continue to enjoy a positive workingrelationship in the building of a sewer bypass line which willbenefit both. Special thanks goes to the Rensselaer CountyIDA led by Bob Pasinella for their help with that, and a numberof potential economic developments.• Jim Breig and I are happy to announce that contractnegotiations with the DPW (CSEA) are complete. We believethat residents will be pleased with the results. We are alsopleased that negotiations with Council 82, representingDispatchers and the East Greenbush Police, are moving forward.We expect similar positive results in those negotiations. Weappreciate that the unions representing town employees havebeen cooperative and understanding of the fiscal challengeswe face. Special thanks to Jim for his many hours of work inthese negotiations.• Thanks to Toni Murphy and the Tax Receiver’s Office for theirextra efforts during this busy time.• Finally, we regret to announce that Jim Moore will be leavinghis post in the Office of Planning and Zoning. His talent,diligence, and knowledge will be sorely missed by all. We do,however, wish him only the very best in his new position.With hopes for an early Spring—

PHARMACISTS ENCOURAGE AMERICANS TOCONSIDER MEDICINE CABINET CLEANOUT

The American Pharmacists Association (APhA)encourages the public to make an annualmedicine cabinet cleanout part of their NewYear’s resolutions. Pharmacists recommendpatients use this time to properly dispose of allthe unused and expired medications thataccumulated over the previous year.Because each season brings a host of newillnesses and conditions, it’s easy for medicine

cabinets to become cluttered with unused or expiredprescriptions, over-the-counter medications, vitamins andherbals that can potentially be harmful to one’s health. Hangingonto old, expired or unused medications can increase thechances of taking the wrong one. Old, expired medications canlose their potency thus reducing or providing no value to thecondition being treated and unused medications have thepotential to be abused and misused.“As you finalize your resolutions for a happier and healthierNew Year, why not add this simple task to your list?” askedThomas E. Menighan, APhA Executive Vice President and CEO.“A medicine cabinet cleanout is one of the smallest resolutionsa person can make for their personal and family’s health. Tohelp protect yourselves and the environment, it just takes afew simple steps to properly store and dispose of medications.And if you have any questions about your medications’expiration date or potency, talk with your pharmacist.”Tips for Storing and Cleaning Out Your Medicine Cabinet orOther Medication Storage Areas:• Medications should be stored in a secured area that has lowhumidity, a stable temperature and adequate lighting.• Check the date on everything in your medicine cabinet anddispose of anything that has passed the expiration date.• Properly dispose of anything you have not used in the past12 months.• Properly dispose of any prescription medications you no longerneed. Do not share prescription medications with others.• Properly dispose of medicines no longer in their originalcontainer or that can no longer be identified.• Properly dispose of medicines that have changed color, odoror taste.• Do not flush unused or expired medications and do not pourthem down a sink or drain.* They should be disposed of properlyin the household trash or through your community’s medicationdisposal program, when available. Follow these easy stepsbefore disposing in the trash: -Pour medication into a sealable plastic bag. If medication isa solid (pill, liquid capsule, etc.), add water to dissolve it. -Add kitty litter, sawdust, coffee grounds (or any materialthat mixes with the medication and makes it less appealing forpets and children to eat) to the plastic bag. -Seal the plastic bag and put it in the trash. -Remove and destroy ALL identifying personal information(prescription label) from all medication containers beforerecycling them or throwing them away.*Visit www.smarxtdisposal.net for more information and for alist of medications that should be flushed.
