PUBLIC INVITED TO APPLY FOR SEARCH COMMITTEE The Wynantskill CSD Board of Education is seeking volunteers from the community to serve on a Superintendent/Principal Advisory Committee. The committee, which will be comprised of 10-12 individuals representing various groups within our school community, will give the Board input on selected candidates prior to the Board making a final decision. Those participating on the committee must attend all scheduled meetings. Community members interested in applying for the committee should complete an application found on the district’s website (www.wynantskillufsd.org) by September 1 and send to the District Clerk in the Superintendent’s Office.

The Board of Education is working closely with Questar III to assist in the search for a new district leader. As you may know, Superintendent Christine Hamill announced her retirement effective December 31, 2011. The Board decided at its July reorganization meeting to restructure its administrative leadership. Specifically, the Board merged the Superintendent and Principal positions into a single Superintendent/Principal position, changed the Principal position to an Assistant Principal role and separated the business manager duties (from the Superintendent position) by exploring the use of shared services effective December 31, 2011. ~Submitted by, Dan Sherman

WEST SAND LK. FIRE DIST. FINAL PUBLIC FORUM ON PROPOSED FIRE STATION The West Sand Lake Fire District will hold its final Public Forum on Thursday, August 11th, at 7:00PM at the fire station. The topic of discussion is the proposed new $5 million Fire Station project. District officials anticipate the proposed project will increase the annual fire tax in the District .88 cents per $1,000 assessed valuation.

Preliminary designs will be reviewed including a new 17,000 square foot station and demolition of the existing buildings with the exception of the museum structure, according to 2nd Assistant Chief Dan Hartstein. The presentation will also focus again on the safety of the Emergency Responders, the impact on the West Sand Lake Community, preliminary tax implications, and a timeline to Referendum. “District resident input is especially critical at this juncture” said Fire Chief Dan Hogle.

The Fire Station Building Committee will continue to revise and develop plans as the Community continues to provide input.

All residents of the West Sand Lake Fire District are encouraged to attend to assist in this important development.

The Referendum Vote will take place on Tuesday, August 16th.

Please join us at the Final Forum prior to the vote, so that you can cast an informed, educated vote.

OPEN LETTER TO THE CITY OF RENSSELAER PLANNING COMMISSION Funds and clothing have been collected for a North Greenbush family by kids participating in the town summer program and from residents attending the town’s summer concert series, Councilman Lou Desso announced.

The proceeds will benefit the Brooks family, a family of five whose Peck Road home was burnt out on July 30th. The family includes three children, ages 3, 7 and 10. The family lost many of their belongings and two pets in the fire.

More than $565 was raised from residents attending the concert by the Best Bet Band at the town gazebo on Sunday night.

Another $110 was raised by youth who went door to door in the community collecting funds and clothing for the family.

“This was truly an outstanding display of generosity from the residents of our town. The people of North Greenbush are always ready to help a neighbor in need and this demonstrates that fact,” stated Desso.

The youth effort was organized by Jesse Miner, a participant in the town’s youth program and son of Mike Miner, who serves as co-chair of the Youth Committee with Desso.

“We are fortunate to have many outstanding and dedicated youth in North Greenbush. These kids took part of their summer vacation to walk neighborhoods, collecting funds and clothing to help out a family in need. We are very proud of their character and efforts on behalf of this family,” said Desso.

The North Greenbush Youth Committee has set up an account for the family at the First Niagara Bank in Wynantskill. Anyone wishing to contribute may stop by the branch, or send a check to the First Niagara Bank, c/o Brooks Family, 86 Main Avenue, Wynantskill, NY 12198.

Letter to the Editor: I am writing to inform you of my great disapproval of the proposed asphalt plant in the Port of Rensselaer. I urge you to please consider extending the public comment period past August 15th. With the middle of summer underway, I feel many people are not informed or aware of the proposed issue.

In regards to Sarah Crowell’s response letter to Pete Sheehan of the Sierra Club’s letter Re: new Castle Asphalt Plant, why was Charles Moore not cc’d in her response? Pete Sheehan’s original letter was addressed to the City of Rensselaer Planning Commission with attention to Charles Moore, Chair. I find it odd that he has had no response.

Sarah Crowell states that the proposed plant is within the guidleines of the existing 1985 LWRP. That being siad, she also goes on the sate that it is compliant with the new 2010 “draft” LWRP. How is that a valid legal LWRP? There has not been a public hearing in regards to this “draft”. How can you make proposed decisions based on a “draft” document that the public has to foil in order to have access to?

Also on a separate note, I would like to know why there was not a “full” Environmental Impact Study performed in reference to the proposed asphalt plant?

I have many questions and feel as though the answers are condescending and are not forthcoming. I look forward to seeing you at the upcoming August 18th meeting. ~Rocca Bachandouris and the Concerned Citizens of Rensselaer 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 July 12, 2011 meeting.

First, some good news about youth programs for kids in Rensselaer.

Reports are that the 2011 season at the Southern Rensselaer County Boys and Girls Club’s Camp Adventure is going well. Congratulations to the players, coaches and parents at both the Rensselaer Little League and Rensselaer Girl’s Softball. These organizations provide valuable and needed services to our youths, and I am proud to support these groups and thank those whose efforts made these important activities possible.

Many Rensselaer residents have enjoyed the Papscanee Island Nature Preserve, located along the Hudson River in the towns of East Greenbush and Schodack. The Preserve will again be included in the Hudson River Valley Ramble, which includes tours of notable areas along the river, on September 17 at 9:30 a.m.

The Legislature is proud to sponsor Hudson Valley Community College, which has become one of the outstanding two-year colleges in the Northeast. We approved the 2011-2012 budget for HVCC while holding the line on the county’s contribution to the college.

The Legislature has been working to hold the line on costs across the board. Recently, we generated $900,000 in savings through an aggressive rebid of our county insurance policy. We have also regularly reduced costs in legislative offices.

At the July 12 meeting, that cost-cutting work continued. Legislators approved a new vehicle use policy that will expand oversight of county vehicles and help control costs. We also continuing a review of possible uses of new technology to reduce more expensive costs for paper and copying.

I remind city residents that the new Rensselaer County Officials and Services Directory for 2011 are now available. The Officials and Services Directory is a handy guide to the organizations and services available in the county, and is available free of charge to residents and businesses in the county. To order a copy, please call the legislative offices at 270-2880.

Residents are welcome to contact me at our 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.

ROBERT LAMORA OF WYNANTSKILL LOSES HOME TO FIRE Letter to the Editor: In the early morning hours of July 30, 2011, Robert LaMora’s home was destroyed by fire. There were 6 people in the home at the time of the fire, 4 adults and 2 children. All managed to escape the fire with only minor injuries. Three of the family dogs escaped, but the fire claimed another dog, 1 cat and 1 bird.

Robert (Bob) LaMora, a long-time resident of Snyder’s Lake, built the house himself over 40 years ago. He was joined at the house by his daughter and son-in-law, as well as his granddaughter and her 3 children. One of the children was away at the time of the fire.

Although devastated by the fire and loss of his home, Bob is anxious to get his home rebuilt and get back to Wynantskill.

He is now in East Greenbush enjoying the hospitality of his daughter while he works out those details. ~Sheila O’Shea 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.

MUSIC FILLS THE PARK

THE

A good crowd spread across the lawn at Onderdonk Park in East Greenbush for the opening session of Music In The Park on Tuesday, Aug 2nd. They came with their lawn chairs, their blankets, and their dancing shoes to enjoy the concert by Band of Gold on a pleasant summer evening. As the band belted out Oldies and Standards, friends chatted between numbers, some got up to Lindy or Twist, and a Hula Hoop was seen twirling to the beat. Music In The Park has become a good family night out that many residents look forward to each summer.

This year the Parks and Recreation staff have done an outstanding job in getting all the preparations complete for another season of entertainment and socializing. The grounds and equipment looked great. The lawns were neatly barbered, the Bocce Courts and Horseshoe pits have been reconditioned, and the benches and other equipment freshly painted.

The season highlight may be August 16th, the anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death. On that night, East Greenbush’s own “Gelvis”, will take the stage paying tribute to “The King” with his own well polished and popular impression in full costume. I hope to see many more of our residents at these upcoming performances. If you’ve never been to one, come on out.

There’s no charge to attend, the refreshment tent can provide a picnic supper, and it’s a great chance to relax, visit with your neighbors, and let the kids romp in the grass. ~Submitted by, Sue Mangold - Town Board Member

Letter to the Editor: So many liberals have been writing so much nonsense in this paper lately that the only way to properly respond to them would require more space than is available here, but I’m compelled to pick away at some of it anyway.

The most recent statement of nonsense is from John Sniezyk and includes, but is not limited to, this gem: “Not wanting to pay taxes is like not wanting to maintain your home…”

Well, who “wants” to pay taxes? The only certainties in life are death and taxes. We will pay taxes just as we will someday die, so why does “wanting” have any place in the debate unless you don’t pay any taxes (LIKE MOST LIBERALS) and feel guilty about it.

The reality is that most people who pay taxes understand the necessity and want to do their part. But what they (we) are against is extreme taxation that becomes a tool of oppression.

And speaking of not wanting to maintain your home, I know I speak for a lot of people who pay high property taxes and would love to have some of that money back so they can paint their house or install some insulation (Not to mention maybe put their kids in a private school).

It’s not a matter of wanting - it’s about being able. As property taxes are not based on a person’s ability to pay, when you experience a reduction in your income and cannot pay the tax, the government will take your home away. But even those who’ve been paying their property taxes through their mortgage escrow are experiencing the pain of oppressive taxation, because while their monthly payment is going up, the home’s value is going down proportionately.

Facts that liberals don’t seem to understand; All tax revenue comes from private enterprise. Without it there would be no jobs. Without jobs there would be no income to tax. Without such virgin tax revenue there would be no way to pay the extremely liberal state employees and their contemporaries who incessantly write that these facts aren’t true. They bite the hand that feeds them. ~David Crawmer, www.republicamerica.us 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.

REPORT

FROM LEGISLATORS MARTIN REID, ALEX SHANNON AND JUDITH BRESELOR 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 July 12, 2011 legislative meeting.

As we navigate a difficult national economy, holding the line on expenses is more important than ever. Through a comprehensive rebid of the county insurance policy, the Legislature was able to generate a savings of $900,000 over three years. We have also reduced the cost of operating the Legislature and worked to hold the line on other expenses.

At the July 12 meeting, legislators continued those efforts. We approved a vehicle use policy for county employees. We expect this new policy will expand oversight of county vehicles and ensure county vehicles are used properly and efficiently.

Legislators also continued review of a transition from paper to new and affordable technology. Research by Legislator Alex Shannon and other county lawmakers has indicated that electronic tablets like iPads can be purchased at less cost than relying on paper and copying. A decision on a switch is expected in the coming weeks.

Legislator Judith Breselor sponsored a resolution supporting efforts to expand testing for women with certain types of breast tissue, as early testing improves the chances of successful treatment. The proposal has been approved by the State Senate and is awaiting approval by the State Assembly.

We also asked state lawmakers to support a State Senate bill encouraging shared services and a second bill to improve welfare fraud detection.

The Papscanee Island Nature Preserve has been managed by the county since the mid-1990s and for the past twelve years, been included in the Hudson River Valley Ramble that features events and tours along the river. The Preserve will be included in the Ramble on September 17, with a guided tour of the Preserve.

The new Rensselaer County Officials and Services Directory for 2011 is now available. The Officials and Services Directory includes information about organizations and services, and is available free of charge to residents and businesses in the county. To order a copy, please call the legislative offices at 270-2880.

Residents are welcome to contact us at our 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.

B.O.E. SUPPORT NEEDED We voted for change, We got change, We needed change.

The B.O.E. members have picked a new President & Vice President. We as a community need to stand behind what we voted for. Chris Foster was overwhelmingly voted in to be the new president of the B.O.E. This is no reflection on the past president, but just a new direction that the board is going. I myself believe that it will be good and we should stand behind the ones that we support. The community needs to give Chris and the rest of the B.O.E. the support that they will need. ~Stuart Nippes, 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.

BENEFIT FOR THE BROOKS FAMILY

North Greenbush Historical Notes Jim Greenfield, Town Historian

THE ST. JUDE’S HORSE SHOW During a summer weekend in 1958, over 13,000 people attended an event in Wynantskill. We think we have traffic problems today. Can you imagine a crowd of that size investing Wynantskill?

The event was the St. Jude’s horse show which ran from 1953 until 1965. Its conception parallels the founding and early growth of the St. Jude parish and school. The parish was formally created on July 5, 1952 when the Albany Diocese purchased a 3 acre plot of land at Brookside and Dana Avenues.

After worshiping in a large tent for a year, the church celebrated its first Mass in their new building on Easter Sunday, April 5, 1953.

Father Thomas P. Tooher was the first pastor and was the guiding light for the horse show. A horseman himself, Father Tooher and other church members saw the horse show as a way to raise money for the new church and school.

In 1953, the horse show was a one day affair. Newspaper ads called it “a day of fun for the entire family” with dinners served, refreshments, booths and pony rides with admission only $1.00.

By 1960, the show had expanded to four days. The majority of the show was in an open arena. There were bleachers for the fans and also box seats for rent.

The competition consisted of several events including hunter, jumper, pleasure horse and a western division to name a few.

Prizes were awarded, including a “governor’s trophy”.

In order to stage this large event, the entire parish had to be involved. Leo Chamberlin was the first chairman followed by Howard Carberry and later Con Culkin. Work would begin early each year to prepare for the summer event. There were grounds crews, cafeteria and snack bar workers, tickets, and a program committee and many others. One of the biggest tasks was building the horse stalls. Because so many horse people attended, sometimes they would rent a stall for the horse and sleep in the adjoining one. Local residents often took in out- of- towners. Father Tooher left St. Jude’s in 1965 and the horse show ended. Probably even more important than the money the show generated was that it brought the parish together and gave it an identity which is still evident.

Your recollections? Call me at 283-6384.

On July 30th 2011, a devastating fire took the home and belongings of the Brooks Family on Peck Road, by Snyders Lake, leaving a family of seven with little to nothing.

We are asking family, friends and the community to help in an effort to assist them in recovering from this tragic loss.

Please join us at the Old Hoags Tavern on RT 66 and Dunham Hollow Road on August 13th from noon to 6PM for a cookout to benefit this effort.

Donations are $5 per person per plate for hamburgers, hot dogs, salads, soda and more. There will be many raffles and a 50/50 to benefit the family. Donations of raffle items are needed and would be greatly appreciated.

Please contact Star Welcome at 794-0725 or email starstar 426@aol.com or Delia Gallerie at 674-2920 for more information.

Monetary donations can be mailed to Gary & Ruthann Brooks, 318 Peck Road, Wynantskill, NY 12198.

DO YOU LOVE DOGS? If you do - please join Columbia High School students, Alysia Brunner and Alyssandra Lang as they work to achieve their Girl Scout Silver Awards at a Fundraising event on Saturday, August 13th, from 2PM to 5PM at St. Mary’s Church in Rensselaer (across from Kmart). Alysia and Alyssandra will be hosting a fundraiser to support and bring awareness to the mistreatment of dogs in the Capital District. Out of the Pits President, Cydney Cross, will be on hand to share information on how to train your dog and the importance of proper care for all animals. Refreshments will be served and we are asking each person/family to bring a dog toy. Please come and participate in this worthwhile event!

OBSTRUCTION OF VISIBILITY ON ROADWAYS CAUSES DIFFICULTY FOR NEW DRIVER Letter to the Editor: As a new driver, I’ve noticed that there are many places in which it is difficult to turn onto Route 43, due to obstruction of visibility. This hindrance of sight is due to the high grass and weeds that grow along the side of the road.

The high grass makes it very difficult to see oncoming vehicles, and therefore very dangerous to turn. For example, turning onto Route 43 from Mammoth Springs Rd. in North Greenbush, and turning onto Route 43 from Old Best Rd. in West Sand Lake prove to be difficult to do safely, because of the overgrown grass that obstructs oncoming vehicles from sight. The Town Highway Departments of both Sand Lake and North Greenbush should be made aware of this, as it is a hazard to drivers, especially beginning drivers such as myself. ~Andrew Tario, 11th Grade Student at Averill Park High School 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.

CRISTO

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 July 12, 2011 legislative meeting.

Vice Chairman Phil Danaher put considerable effort into drafting a new county vehicle use policy. The policy will include improved oversight of county vehicles used for various county services, and will hopefully help reduce costs for county vehicles. Last year, the Legislature was able to reduce county insurance costs by $900,000 over three years and we are hopeful the new vehicle policy helps the county continue to hold the line on insurance.

Legislators also approved a resolution continuing an effort to reduce costs for paper in county government through use of affordable and available technology. This would continue the cost-saving measures that helped reduce legislative costs during the past three years. We also supported a state effort to encourage shared services among local governments.

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women. We supported an effort in the State Legislature to expand testing among women with certain types of breast tissue.

Legislators also approved resolutions for the repair and maintenance of county roads, along with purchase of a new wheel loader for the county Highway Department to help with road repair work.

We are pleased that the Papscanee Preserve, located along the Hudson River in the towns of East Greenbush and Schodack, has been again been chosen to be part of the 12th annual Hudson River Valley Ramble on September 17. The event kicks off at 9:30 a.m. and will include a guided tour of the Preserve, which includes great views of the Hudson River.

The Preserve has been included each year in the Ramble, which includes hikes, activities and tours along the Hudson River. The Preserve is owned by the non-profit Open Space Institute and has managed by the county since the mid-1990s.

The new Rensselaer County Officials and Services Directory for 2011 is still available. To order a copy, please call the legislative offices at 270-2880.

Residents are welcome to contact us at our 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.

BOTTLE & CAN COLLECTION FOR BREAST CANCER The Rensselaer Eagles #4446 - Stridering For A Cure will hold a bottle and can collection to raise money for Breast Cancer. Cans and bottles can be dropped off at the Rensselaer Eagles #4446 on Broadway for donation to the fund. The collection will continue until the first week of October. We will bring all donations to the Striders walk on October 16th.

518-925-0413 www.scruffytofluffypetgrooming.com APOLOGIES OFFERED Letter to the Editor: Response to Mr. Gifford’s letter 8/4/11. I will offer two apologies. First, as a Democrat would, I’m sorry for my poor choice of words in my last letter, and I meant no offense. Secondly, as a Republican would, I’m sorry you misread my letter and took offense. Either is there for you to pick, take compliment or criticism as you see fit. It seems Mr. Gifford did not read the entire letter or just didn’t understand what was written, or maybe even quit reading once he felt his viewpoint was being insulted. To the “Sign Man” I apologize for any offense and applaud you for your signs whether I may or may not agree with them; you are expressing your opinion. I’ll cut to the chase, using Mr. Gifford’s logic; if water boarding lead to the capture of Bin Laden, then John McCain or any prisoners of the North Vietnamese weren’t tortured. Their treatment assisted the North Vietnamese, (as they saw it). Seems Mr. Gifford may be a candidate for MENSA. He takes known facts and comes to a conclusion, much like Mr. Crawmer (local businessman, MENSA member.) An apology for John McCain and all former POWs, I’m sorry I used you to make an analogy. ~ Jeff Dorr 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.

GENERALNew DENTISTRY • 477-1008 Patients Accepted 739 Columbia Turnpike, East Greenbush New Patients Accepted OUR GOD IS A GLOBAL GOD On Sunday, August 14, 2011, the Stuyvesant and Nassau Reformed Churches will focus on the global nature of our God who through Jesus Christ is known for the expansiveness of his reach, the width of his embrace to all people. The base for this understanding is Matthew 15:21-28 where Jesus shows his compassion for the suffering daughter of a Canaanite woman as he reaches out and heals in an act of wondrous deliverance and healing. Jesus’ ministry was criticized for receiving sinners and for reaching out to outcasts. In the sermon titled, “Our God Is A Global God,” the Reverend Edward L. Van Kampen will point to how in order for us to be followers of Jesus, we need to reach our as Jesus reached out. The Stuyvesant Reformed Church worships at 9 a.m. in its sanctuary at the corner of Church Street and route 9J, approximately one half mile South of the only traffic light in the hamlet of Stuyvesant Other activities in August include the Bake Sale in conjunction with Stuyvesant Day on August 13 at the Sand Bar near the bridge in Stuyvesant falls, and a Quilting class beginning on August 24th.

The Nassau Reformed Church worships at 11 a.m. in its chapel on the second level of its Church-School-Building at 43 Church St. (Route 20.) Sunday school will resume in September; however, children are welcome to worship with us each Sunday at 11 a.m.

CAREGIVERS PLAY VITAL ROLE IN CHILDREN’S COMMUNICATION SKILLS The ability for a nation to create the workforce needed to compete in the global economy begins with infants and toddlers. Literacy and communication skills begin before a baby speaks her first word.

Babies are pre-wired to communicate and learn. They begin to communicate through crying, facial expressions and movement. Fancy curriculum or flash cards are not needed for the development of infant and toddler communication skills. What is needed are responsive adults. Learning occurs through the relationship that the infant and toddler has with significant adults in their lives including parents and caregivers. By responding promptly to infants’ and toddlers’ attempts at communication, we teach them that they are important and encourages them to continue to find ways to engage and communicate with those around them. Caregivers have a tremendous affect on helping infants and toddlers learn language and communication skills which set the foundation for all future learning. I had the opportunity to attend training and become a Certified Trainer with the Program for Infant and Toddler Care and learn the importance of caring relationships that support infants’ and toddlers’ development. An environment where parents and caregivers are supportive, positive and offer rich verbal stimulation is one where children will show advanced language and cognitive development. Don’t worry about purchasing expensive curriculum programs and materials just talk, sing and read to your infants and toddlers to give them a good foundation for their future learning. ~ Betty Bellino - Program Associate - Workforce Development Institute, Troy

Each year, Beavers leave their Dam site in search of food and get run over by nearby passing cars. These incidents are a tragedy since nothing has been done to prevent this from occurring.

The Pond gives home to many different species of wildlife and has become a wildlife preserve and attraction to many animals.

We have requested from the City of Cohoes & State Agencies that a road sign and fence be installed along the pond to protect the wildlife in that area and speeding be reduced on the highway to prevent more accidents The Pet Care Community Volunteers Started A National Program called “Feet & Paws Walk connecting people & pets across America” We are asking drivers to slow down for People, Pets & Smaller Animals that cross Americas Roadways each year. If you’re interested in walking, please call 518-334-0348 or email petcarecommunity@gmail.com. ~ Peter Louis Lonardelli, Community Volunteer!

WE REMEMBER: SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 SEPTEMBER 11, 2011 The Church of St. Mary at Clinton Heights has announced plans to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the terribly devastating terrorist attacks unleashed on American soil. In union with all of the Catholic parishes of Southern Rensselaer County (including, but not limited to, Averill Park, Castleton, East Greenbush, Nassau, New Lebanon, Poestenkill, Rensselaer, Schodack and Stephentown), the following elements are intended to help all people of goodwill throughout the area to solemnly recall this painful part of our human history while continuing to heal as a nation and a people: • Each Catholic parish will toll their church bells throughout the morning of Sunday, September 11; • Weeks leading up to September 11th, tea-lights and prayer cards will be available for visitors to take home with them for their personal memorials (both items will also be available throughout the actual anniversary day at the plaza of the Church of St. Mary at Clinton Heights); • Catholic churches will be left unlocked throughout the entirety of the day for people to enter for their own personal prayer and/or quiet reflection; • We will be hosting an area-wide Memorial Fire of Remembering located outside, at the plaza of the church of St. Mary at Clinton Heights (163 Columbia Turnpike, East Greenbush) which will burn throughout the day; • Opportunities will be made available for civic and other groups to utilize the previously-mentioned plaza fire for their own memorial activities (such groups are welcome between 4PM and 6:45PM); • Area Catholic communities will gather for Mass & Ritual Memorial beginning at 7PM at the Church of St. Mary at Clinton Heights.

Letters of invitations to participate in other assemblies at St. Mary’s on September 11th have been extended to civic leaders and organizations of the city of Rensselaer and the Town of East Greenbush. All other local communities are most welcome to participate together with the citizens of our area.

HOMESPUN COMMUNITY DANCING IN GRAFTON Come kick up your heels to live fiddle music! Join Homespun Community Dancing with Peter, Paul and George at the Grafton Elementary School on Monday, August 15, at 10 a.m. to enjoy a tradition of community dancing and music handed down from generation to generation.

Caller Paul Rosenberg gets everyone involved – from ages 2 to 102 — in easy-to-learn American barn dance favorites: circles, squares, contras, as well as folk dances from places around the world. No experience necessary. Instruments in a family dance may include fiddle, banjo, mandolin, flute, pennywhistle, clarinet, guitar, piano, recorder, accordion, dulcimer, percussion, and more. While participation in the dancing is encouraged — and it’s hard to sit still — it’s also fun to just listen to the music.

More information about Peter, Paul, & George can be found at www.homespun.biz. This program sponsored by the Grafton Community Library is made possible in part through a Community Art$ Grant, a program funded by The Arts Center of the Capital Region through the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency. Visit www.graftoncommunitylibrary.org or contact 279-0580 for more library news.
