NYS TAX DEPT. IMPLEMENTS NEW HARDSHIP ELIGIBILITY PROGRAM Economic Hardship Consideration Added To Existing Offer In Compromise Program The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance announced new reform measures that will improve tax administration on behalf of taxpayers statewide. New eligibility consideration for severe economic hardship will allow the Department to offer more favorable payment terms to taxpayers with overwhelming tax liabilities. The new eligibility factors will be added to the Department’s existing liability settlement program known as the Offer in Compromise Program.

“The changes to the Offer in Compromise Program will allow us to provide relief for taxpayers experiencing undue economic hardship,” explained Commissioner Thomas H. Mattox. “The global economic downturn has made it more important than ever for government to provide more flexible payment options while at the same time protecting all taxpayers with a common sense approach to settling outstanding debt that may otherwise go unpaid.”

Prior to the changes, the Offer in Compromise Program limited the Department to accepting settlement offers due to insolvency or bankruptcy. Now, the Department can consider other factors that may make it unduly burdensome for a taxpayer to pay a liability in full. These factors could include extraordinary individual or family health care costs, or unemployment. Each case will be carefully analyzed so that all taxpayers are protected. No settlement will be accepted that could decrease overall compliance or that would be counter to the best interests of the State.

“In many cases it is in the State’s best interest to settle with a taxpayer experiencing financial hardship,” said Commissioner Mattox. “For example, if paying the entire liability means a taxpayer will lose his or her home to foreclosure, it’s clearly in the best interest of the State, as well as the taxpayer, to agree to some form of settlement alternative.”

The Department will also implement a fixed twenty year statute of limitations. Delinquent debt collection rates decrease over time, and debt of an age older than twenty years is typically uncollectible.

Taxpayers who want more information about the Offer in Compromise Program can visit the Department of Taxation and Finance’s website at <www.tax.ny.gov> or call 518.457.5434.

MARRIAGE EQUALITY STRENGTHENS NEW YORK’S SOUL Letter to the Editor: Isn’t it ironic? No, I’m not speaking about the 1995 hit by Canadian songstress Alanis Morissette that left us contemplating black flies in our Chardonnay. I’m speaking of Ms. Linda Nasman’s oblivious response to a high schooler’s unapologetic support of marriage equality for all New Yorkers.

Nasman’s assertion the recognition of same-sex marriage, “infringes on my right to believe the Bible and publicly state that belief,” couldn’t be any more laughable if it hadn’t appeared in a letter to the editor for The Advertiser. In fact, she refers to the Holy Bible a total four times, but doesn’t offer an empirical argument to rebut Ms. Lynch’s initial question, “How does samesex marriage affect you?”

Instead, she speaks of Mr. Jerry Buell, a Floridian “Teacher of the Year,” under scrutiny for comparing marriage equality to a “cesspool” online, and then publishing it through Facebook for the entire school district to read. Never mind his class syllabus already declared: “I teach God’s truth, I make very few compromises. If you believe you may have a problem with that, get your schedule changed, ‘cause I ain’t changing!”

Fortunately, as a gay alumnus of Averill Park High School, I’m comforted to know firsthand that neither I, nor allies such as Ms. Lynch, felt captive to a “Christian viewpoint” that the likes of Buell and Nasman are peddling as “tolerance.” Nasman has the right to freely quote Scripture, and deny she’s cherrypicking from a text permitting daughters to be sold by fathers [Exodus 21:7], execution of anybody caught working Sundays [Exodus 35:2], and death upon anyone dining out at Red Lobster [Leviticus 11:10]. Don’t hide behind the veil of religious faith, and be such a transparent bigot. I’m proud, as the inaugural president of my high school’s Gay-Straight Alliance, my generation – as demonstrated by Ms. Lynch’s advocacy – isn’t going to tolerate the rhetorical fire and brimstone of Ms. Nasman, which only serves the purpose of putting a loaded handgun, noose or highway overpass before a bullied lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) teen as their only salvation, rather than marriage, from her hell upon Earth. ~ Joseph Gentile, Brunswick 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.

INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL IN TROY – SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24th

AVERILL PARK BOOSTER CLUB IS LOOKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT! The Averill Park Booster Club is working hard to bring back athletic programs that were eliminated as part of the recent school budget process. Many in our community have benefited from these programs, or have children or grandchildren currently participating on high school sports teams, reaping the rewards that come from participation in athletics.

Consider this (from the Averill Park Central District website): The athletic department saw the elimination of all freshman sports, indoor track and several assistant coaches. These sports and assistant coaching positions can only be considered for reinstatement pending the availability of fund, to be raised through community fundraising efforts.

The Averill Park Central School District supports community efforts to raise funds to reinstate any and all sports programs and coaching positions. Legally, for a sport or coaching position to be reinstated, the entire cost of the program must be donated to the school district prior to the start of the season.

Please consider making a contribution to the Booster Club and help make a difference in the lives of our kids — help us to bring back our programs. Please send donations addressed to Averill Park Booster Club, PO Box 272, Averill Park, NY 12018.

If you have questions or can help in some other way, please contact the Booster Club at averillparkboosterclub@yahoo.com.

Join your neighbors on Saturday, September 24th, from 11am to 7pm for great ethnic food, dancing, music, children’s activities, crafts, historical presentations, and cultural displays.

LOCAL CONGREGATION PLANS BLESSING OF ANIMALS Blooming Grove Reformed Church will host a “Blessing of the Animals” gathering on Sunday, October 2nd, at 11:30AM. The brief gathering will include a prayer and a time for blessing each animal. Everyone is welcome to bring their pets.

This will be the third year that the congregation has hosted a time for people to gather with their animals. It is held in anticipation of the feast of Francis of Assisi (4 October), who was known, among other things for his care for animals and the environment. “More and more, science shows us what faith has told us all along: that our well-being is intrinsically linked to the well-being of our planet and its creatures. This is especially true of our pets, the animals we live with,” says the Rev. James Hart Brumm, pastor at Blooming Grove and officiant for the annual celebration. “It is natural for us to want to pray for them, and important for us to remind ourselves of our place in the created order.”

The “Blessing of the Animals” will be held outside, weather permitting, at the congregation’s barrier-free facility, behind the CDTA Park & Ride off Route 4 in DeFreestville.

SAMARITAN HOSPITAL OFFERING FREE PROSTATE CANCER SCREENINGS The Cancer Treatment Center at Samaritan Hospital, an affiliate of the Troy-based not-for-profit Northeast Health, will offer free prostate cancer screenings, including PSA (prostatespecific antigen) tests and physical exams, on three dates — Monday, Sept. 26; Tuesday, Sept. 27; and Tuesday, Oct. 4, from 9 am - noon, and from 1 - 4 p.m., at the hospital located at 2215 Burdett Ave., Troy.

The screenings are available to men 50 - 75 years of age, or men ages 45 and older who have a family history of prostate cancer, or who are of African/American descent.

All men are at risk for prostate cancer, especially as they age.

It is one of the most common cancers occurring in American men and one of the leading killers. About 1 man in 6 men will be diagnosed with the disease in his lifetime. The American Cancer Society estimates nearly 218,000 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in the United States, and that more than 32,000 men will die from it this year, but early detection can save lives.

The cause of prostate cancer is not known and there may be no warning signs or symptoms. Screening is the only effective way to detect the cancer in its earliest stages. Risk factors for developing prostate cancer include age, family history and diet. Additionally, men of African/American descent are twice as likely to develop the disease as Caucasian men.

Information also will be available about Samaritan Hospital’s new da Vinci Surgical System for prostate cancer surgery. The system which uses the latest in surgical and robotics technology is now available at Samaritan Hospital.

To make an appointment for a screening, or for more information, please call the Cancer Treatment Center at Samaritan Hospital at (518) 271-3775.

AMANDA’S JOURNEY FOUNDATION PLANS THIRD ANNUAL WALK On September 24th, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Amanda’s Journey Foundation will present the Third Annual Walk for Mito Awareness at the Crossings of Colonie, (Albany Shaker Rd). The purpose of the walk is to raise funds for the nonprofit Amanda’s Journey Foundation and to raise awareness of diseases of the Mitochondria, genetic disorders that can often be fatal. The foundation is named after a Rensselaer County girl whose courageous fight against Mitochondrial Depletion Syndrome inspired all those who knew her.

After her daughter’s passing, Jacki Perrotta became a volunteer representative for the United Mitochrondrial Disease Foundation, the nation’s premier “Mito” organization. In June, she and two A.J.F. volunteers traveled to the national Mitochondrial Disease Conference in Illinois where Amanda’s name was well known, and her fans were legion. It was more proof that a determined teen with a computer, a pen, and a fiercely positive could change lives; even the lives of those she never met. To support the Amanda’s Journey Foundation or register to walk on September 24th, please visit www.amandasjourney.org.

Contact them at amandasjourney08@gmail.com. The Amanda’s Journey Foundation is also on Facebook.

On Monday, September 12, 2011, the Commission on Economic Opportunity (CEO) recognized 16 youth who completed the seven-month YouthBuild program.

“This is a great day for our community,” Executive Director Karen E. Gordon stated. “These 16 young people came to YouthBuild without high school diplomas. Today, all have improved their academic achievement, nine have already been accepted into local community colleges, eight have secured employment, and seven have attained their GEDs.” In attendance at the graduation ceremony were Assemblyman Steven McLaughlin and Troy Mayoral Candidate Carmella Mantello, among others, including guest speaker and Empire State College adjunct professor, Richard Smith.

“Our young people deserve someone who can look beyond their rough surfaces and recognize their inner genius. CEO YouthBuild provides that someone for our community’s youth,” Richard Smith shared. YouthBuild is a youth and community development program that addresses core issues facing lowincome communities, such as education, employment, and leadership development. At CEO YouthBuild, low-income youth who dropped out of high school are given a second chance to work toward their GEDs, learn job skills, serve their communities, and transform their lives.

YouthBuild participants constructed a home at 30 Defreest Avenue, Troy that will be sold to a low-income homebuyer.

by Gale Steves If you cannot wait any longer to make some much needed changes in your home, you are not alone.

Americans are once again getting ready to begin the home improvement process. This pent-up energy often begins in the kitchen, a room that gets a lot of wear and tear but also seems to go out of fashion more quickly these days.This time around, you will be more cautious like many consumers are with their choices and costs ... and yet you want to make observable changes. The most obvious change is installing a new countertop. Remember that countertops represent 30 percent of the color in any kitchen. Create new excitement by simply replacing your tired, scratched or stained counter surface with one made from the latest generation of premium laminate. The good news is this fashionable look is available without the high cost of stone or the constant maintenance those stones require. These lighter, less patterned laminate designs are perfect for today’s hectic lifestyle. In fact, the new cost-efficient countertop can be installed within a few hours and without disrupting family life. They also give an existing KITCHENS • KITCHENS • KITCHENS • KITCHENS kitchen the promise of a whole new look that’s universally appealing. That equals a big change for small change. All of these new designs are available in a new surface effect of a lower matte-gloss sheen that seems almost glazed. The “Glaze” texture is actually a layering of matte features over a glaze of semi-gloss. This creates a timeworn result that is less reflective and more restrained.

It’s a perfect balance for the sophisticated dramatic materials that are part of today’s kitchen: stainless steel, chrome, copper, and even glass.

Unlike granite, the surfaces of these new laminates are nonporous and never need to be sealed.

Here are some other remodeling ideas that will have high impact without high expense: * Replace your old refrigerator with an energy-efficient model. * Refresh your cabinets with a coat of paint, and change all the cabinet hardware in the process.

This makes everything look new. * Swap out your old ceiling light fixture and install under cabinet lighting as well. A little light can make a dramatic difference.

ROPE MAKING The Poestenkill Historical Society will be starting their fall schedule Tuesday, September 27th, 2011, with a program on the history of Rope Making.

Ropesmiths, Dave and Mike, started making historically correct cordage in 1995, after noticing that Civil War Reenactors were using nylon cordage in their portrayals. From the beginning of history, hemp has been the preferred fiber for rope making in Europe. The only shortcoming was that, since it came from the stalk of a plant, it was proned to rot if not treated with pine tar. Early 1900’s the production of hemp was outlawed in the U.S as a result from lobbying from oil companies who just came out with a new product — NYLON! Dave and Mike are the only suppliers of hand laid, “tarred” hemp cordage in the New World!! The public is welcome to this free program held in the Poestenkill Town Hall (RT 351) at 7:00PM on Tuesday, Sept. 27th. Refreshments will be provided by Alice Castagnier.

For directions, call Pat at 518-283-5223.

Pet Adoption of the Week ROXY

- Approx. 4 yrs. old and fully vaccinated. Roxy is house training and partially crate trained. She currently lives with a miniature Yorkie and is mostly amicable around other dogs (she has had successful doggie playdates with other like-sized dogs). She is very sweet and loves attention. Her one draw back is that she DOES NOT like cats!!! She gets along well with everyone and is deserving of a permanent home. Please consider giving her the love and attention she wants and deserves. She is a good girl and has never bitten anyone, or anything (besides toys). She is not aggressive.

If you would like to meet ROXY to possibly adopt her, Contact : Sherry427@verizon.net or 518-393-0755

MARTY WENDELL IN CONCERT AT SLCA

Brookview Station Winery

Marty Wendell in concert at the Sand Lake Center for the Arts on Sept. 24th at 8pm. When the mid-sixties revolution from Folk to Rock broke out in New York’s Greenwich Village, Marty Wendell was there! When Johnny Cash toured in 1968 promoting his “Live at Folsom Prison” album, Marty Wendell was an opening act! He grew up during the birth of Rock and Roll, and while he was influenced by that, he can always be counted on as a writer who provides fresh and meaningful songs. Marty is an original!

Reservations can be made at 518-674-2007 or visit www.slcactp.org. The SLCA is located at 2880 NY 43, Averill Park, NY. Plenty of free parking.

ST. JUDE THE APOSTLE ROMAN CATHOLIC COMMUNITY WELCOMES YOU! Are you thinking of becoming Catholic? Would you like to know about the process of becoming Catholic? We would like to assist you in your search for answers to questions you may have about the Catholic faith. There are many ways that God calls a person into relationship with Jesus and we are happy to help you in this journey. The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is a process through which a person gradually deepens their personal relationship with Jesus Christ and lives out their faith in the Catholic community.

The RCIA is for three groups of people: Those who are not baptized, those who were baptized in another Christian denomination and Baptized Catholics who were not instructed in the Catholic faith and who have not completed their initiation through the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist Want to find out more? Call the parish office, 283-1162, and speak to Fr. Anthony. Or join us for our Inquiry Sessions beginning October 13th through November 10th on Thursday evenings in the Music Room at St. Jude the Apostle School, 53 Dana Avenue, Wynantskill at 7:00 PM.
