RENSSELAER - Mayor Michael Stammel fired Kristin Daly, the city’s comptroller, late last month for what he said were a number of things the two “just didn’t agree on.” The mayor did not offer specifics as to what led to her removal. “She just didn’t fit in,” he said. “There’s nothing personal, nothing to it. I felt the need to make a change and leave it at that.” The mayor had police escort Daly out of the building on Friday, March 25 — not because of any disturbance on her way out, Stammel said, but because that’s what is “normally done.” He could not cite a city policy requiring such handling. “There were no problems, no issues — (it) was all done professionally,” he said, adding that he didn’t want to be “accused of saying or doing something one way or another.” The Times Union was unable to reach Daly, who served as Rensselaer’s comptroller for about a year and a half, for comment. The role remains vacant, and Stammel said he is not interested in hiring another comptroller. He instead plans on creating a new position and hiring an accountant to work in the city treasurer’s office. Stammel pointed to the city’s charter, which permits the treasurer to have an accountant who doesn’t have to be a comptroller. The role would require higher education qualifications. He said prior to his assuming office, previous administrations replaced the treasurer’s
accountant and hired a comptroller in their place by resolution. Staff from the treasurer’s office did not immediately return the Times Union’s request for comment. When Stammel, a former chairman of the Rensselaer County Legislature, was first elected and took office in 2020, he said the city was three years behind on submitting required financial data to the state comptroller’s office. The city comptroller at the time, who had been on extended leave when Stammel assumed office, resigned. The mayor said last week that it has now been five years since those reports were done. He raised a red flag in 2020 because those years also correspond with the city beginning the collection of sizable payments from the S.A. Dunn landfill, which Stammel and many other public officials are now urging to be closed. Elected city treasurer Michael Mizener, whose office is in charge of tax collection, told the Times Union in 2020 that there was confusion about what role his office has in financial reporting. Mizener then said the city took away much of his authority when it hired a comptroller to work above him. “I am just trying to get the city finances back to where they should have been before,” Stammel said last week. The city’s political climate has been fraught since former Mayor Dan Dwyer died in office

in 2018. Stammel and Richard Mooney, a past City Council president, entered nail-biting races for the city’s top post, with Stammel edging out the victory. Stammel has been interviewed — and had his cellphone seized — as part of a probe concerning absentee ballot fraud allegations in the 2021 election, an investigation being done by the State Police, FBI and state attorney general’s office. The probe has also included other Republican operatives in Rensselaer County. “I myself or nobody affiliated with me during the election process, that I am aware of, had anything to do with any wrongdoing with any absentee ballots or any voting intimidation, or anything to with the election other than assisting those people who wanted to vote by absentee ballots with their approvals,” Stammel said last year.
Local school sends 3 to ‘Olympics’ of Irish dance Championship in Belfast will happen in April By TRESCA WEINSTEIN
Ainsley Clinton was just three years old the first time she saw “River-dance” on TV, and she immediately told her parents she wanted to dance like that, too. After a call to a local school, Ainsley was told she could start learning Irish dance as soon as she knew her right from her left. She taught herself the difference in just two weeks—and 16 years later, the North Greenbush native is heading to her fourth World Irish Dancing Championships (aka Oireachtas Rince na Cruinne), April 10–17 in Belfast, Ireland. Clinton will be joined by two fellow students from An Clár School of Irish Dance in Albany: Addisyn Duby, 16, and HaydenGrace Francis, 21, who will also be competing. “It’s kind of surreal every time I go,” said Clinton, who previously competed in World Championships in Dublin, Ireland; Glasgow, Scotland; and Gainsborough, N.C. “I have to remind myself I’m actually here, part of this very specific group of top-tier dancers, dancing on a

world stage.” The Worlds, as insiders refer to them, are “the Olympics of our competition circuit, the highest level of competition dancers can get to,” said Lexa Hickey, owner of An Clár and its sole instructor. This year marks the first Worlds since COVID took hold, and marks the belated 50th anniversary of the competition, which was originally scheduled for 2020. Hickey says the six months of Zoom classes and the enforced time off from competition early in the pandemic had a silver lining (to use a well-worn phrase that actually originated in Ireland). Ainsley Clinton started dancing when she “When you’re in was three. competition mode all year, you don’t necessarily get a break,” she said. “We had time to go back to the basics and remember why we love dancing.” Like many of her students, Hickey was a wee lass—just four years old-—when she began studying Irish dance, in her home state of New Jersey. She grew up traveling to competitions around the country and the globe, culminating in a third-place win at the 2008 Worlds in Belfast. After college, she earned a spot on the 15th anniversary “Riverdance” tour. “My most memorable moment of that tour was per-

Tracey Rex Reports to the People of Schodack I believe staying in touch with constituents is an important part of serving in elective office. This report, published every month since I took office in 2016, is an example of my commitment to keeping Schodack residents informed about town government news and community events. During March, the Town Board approved an updated Ethics code for the Town of Schodack, which had not been updated since 1970. Another important piece of this initiative is to seat a Board of Ethics, which is in progress. I am proud of the good government initiative this board has taken to address these long overdue updates.
captivating program about three colorful characters that were once well-known to readers of local newspapers in the Capital District. Political correctness did not exist in the mid 1800’s. Newspapers could be relentless in their ridicule or attacks on local characters and minorities. On occasion, however, the newspapers could be truly supportive of unfortunate individuals who were trying to better themselves. The program is free and open to the public. Because seating is limited, please call the library at 518-477-7476 to register. This is the first Society program since the pandemic restricted public gatherings and we hope to see many old friends, members and guests on April 24.

LOCAL GOOD NEWS FIRST Whole Health Hero has helped people with developmental disabilities for 30 years
Whole Health Hero protects New York’s green spaces and promotes health statewide
Susan Waters has dedicated her entire 30-year career to supporting people with developmental disabilities. That alone would qualify her to be an Empire Whole Health Hero. But in addition to her impact on the individuals and families she serves through the Center for Disability Services, based in Albany, Waters also possesses an enthusiasm, empathy, and team-based philosophy that is infectious to her co-workers. In short, Waters is the team member that makes everyone around her better. “I learn something new every day,” says Waters. “I am one of the lucky people that loves their job and the people I provide healthcare to.” Waters is especially proud of the job the Center has done over the past two years, ensuring continuous care during a global pandemic. “With the pandemic it certainly has been hard, but in my role as the Director of Health Care for the OPWDD programs within the Center, it’s important to maintain the care of our folks to keep them safe and healthy,” says Waters. “It has been a challenge in this day and age of telehealth, especially with our population, but we have strived to do the best. The Center couldn’t have done it without all the hard work of the DSPs, management, nursing, clinic support staff, and so many more. And at the end of the day, I think we did an awesome job.” “The future of the Capital Region is growing at lightning speed — not only in the tri-city areas, but also in the outlying areas,” says Waters. “I live in Saratoga County, and I cannot believe how much the area has grown. With this growth, there will always be a need for employment and services. As a community, we need to continue to look outside of the box and plan for this growth. It is amazing to see the change that is occurring and what the possibilities can be with this area.”
Whether it’s hitting a trail for a run or a bike ride, sitting in a quiet park to escape the stress of our workday world, or just getting outdoors to breathe some clean, fresh air, our green spaces are vital to our health and wellness. That fact has never been more apparent than during the lockdowns and social distancing brought on by the pandemic. And no one has done more to promote and ensure access to public green spaces in the Capital Region than Parks & Trails New York. That’s what makes the organization a deserved Whole Health Hero. “The past two years have shown that public green space is unquestionably a public health infrastructure,” says Linden Horvath at Parks & Trails New York. “We are grateful to work alongside our supporters and partners to ensure that New Yorkers have the access to the recreational, physical, and mental health benefits that parks and trails provide.” While the organization doesn’t directly hold lands, its members are instrumental in helping organize grassroots efforts—from putting together volunteer cleanups to writing and issuing reports on state parks to petitioning state government—to steward our most treasured resources. It also encourages sustainable economic development through support of trail-based communities in creating cyclist-friendly strategic plans and marketing—a significant economic driver. PTNY also provides grants to groups caring for the state parks and public lands that care for us. “We’re a small, dynamic team that has an outsized impact on our public green spaces and the communities that love and use them,” says Horvath.
Give your child the best opportunity for a healthy and beautiful smile!

Stefanik Calls on Hochul to Repeal Dangerous Bail Reform Policies PRESS RELEASE Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Elise Stefanik led the New York Republican delegation in sending a letter calling on Governor Kathy Hochul to completely repeal New York’s failed bail reform policies and enact a “dangerousness standard” that allows judges to thoroughly consider the danger an individual poses to the community when making bail or pretrial release decisions. “Albany Democrats’ reckless and dangerous bail reform policies have fueled skyrocketing crime in our communities, undermined our law enforcement, and failed to keep the residents of New York safe,” Stefanik said. “Governor Hochul cannot make a half-hearted attempt to backtrack her failed bail reform policies while New York communities suffer. Anything less than completely reversing these devastating bail reform policies will fail New Yorkers.” In the letter, the lawmakers point out that “New York City’s crime rate has increased nearly 60% over last year, including historic numbers of murder, rape, robbery, and assault. Specifically, there has been a 54% increase in robberies, a 56% increase in grand larceny incidents, a 22% increase in rapes, a 10% increase in murders, and a 1.3% increase in shooting incidents as compared to 2021.” It has been reported that Kathy Hochul is only making updates to the current bail reform in her revised New York State budget, while keeping bail reform largely in place. Stefanik was joined by Reps. Tom Reed (NY-23), Claudia Tenney (NY-22), Chris Jacobs (NY-27), Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11), Lee Zeldin (NY-01), Andrew Garbarino (NY-02), and John Katko (NY-24).

On March 26, Averill Park CSD sent three teams to the Odyssey of the Mind State Finals competition in Syracuse – one from APHS and two from AMS. The APHS team placed third, giving them the opportunity to advance to the World Finals held at Iowa State University in May. The APHS Odyssey of the Mind team competed in a long-term problem that involved building an 8-inch structure out of balsa wood and glue, weighing no more than 15 grams. The team then performed a skit with a theme of storage, placing weights on the balsa wood structure until it collapsed. The team’s structure held 570 pounds within the 8 minutes allotted for their presentation. Odyssey of the Mind is an international creative problem-solving program where 5-7 students compete together on a team. Each team participates in both a long-term problem and a spontaneous problem. For the long-term, the team prepares a solution to a set of issues presented and performs their response as a skit in competition. The team chooses to compete in one of five variations of the long-term problem, including one with elements of design and construction, or a more theatrical program. For the spontaneous problem, the students enter a room and are asked to solve an issue without prior knowledge of the question. The APHS team members who are headed to Worlds include sophomore Cecelia Colton, and juniors Jacob Crupi, Katie Doran, Tyler Michaels, Isla Multunas, Christian Romer, and Tyler Strock. Please wish our team the best of luck and safe travels as they trek cross country to compete and represent AP in Iowa!

THE ADVERTISER
OPINION
It's the Inflation, Stupid
Biden Sends Putin a Muddled Nuclear Message
Joe Biden is engaged in the most extensive test of whether an American president can survive elevated levels of inflation since Jimmy Carter, and it's not going well. The latest NBC News poll has Biden at a dismal 40% approval rating that, if it doesn't change, will end the careers of Democrats up and down the ballot in November's midterm elections. According to the poll, only a third of people approve of Biden's handling of the economy, a low that most presidents have needed a recession to hit. This number has sunk steadily -- along with Biden's overall standing -- from 52% in April of last year. Inflation, which increased 7.9% from February 2021 to February 2022, is top of mind for voters. In the survey, 35% of people said cost of living is the first or second most important issue to the country. Climate change, in contrast, is at 17% and the pandemic at 8%. Given the choice, 68% would rather see Biden make reducing inflation and improving the economy his top priority, not the war in Ukraine. Elevated inflation represents a trifecta of doom for incumbent presidents. Does it impact the lives of people in a discernible way that they will notice no matter what the president says or the media covers? Yes. Does it cut the pay of workers unless there are steep increases in wages? Yes. Does it make the president seem powerless to control events? Yes. It was a common question in the media a while ago why people felt badly about a good economy? Paul Krugman wrote column last year headlined, "The Making of a Feel-Bad Boom." The question, though, was miscast. An economy where wages are effectively falling is not a good economy, at least it isn't going to be felt by most people as such. Even though wages grew by a robust 5.1% year-over-year this February, that wasn't enough to keep up with rising prices. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, real average hourly earnings declined 2.6% from February 2021-2022. During that 12-month period, the month-to-month change in real hourly wages was only positive in two months. This is presumably why the NBC poll found that 62% say that their family income is falling behind, 31% say that it is staying about even, and just 6% believe it is going up faster. Biden could combine the political talents of FDR and Reagan, the oratorical skills of Lincoln and JFK, and the common touch of Jackson and Truman, and this sense of falling behind would still be eating away at the foundations of his presidency. Biden's default has been to reassure the public that inflation is only transitory, to place it in the context of global supply chain issues beyond the control of any one person, and to blame various malefactors, whether meat companies or Vladimir Putin, for surging prices. But the buck still stops with the president, even if the dollar has less purchasing power than it did a year ago. Biden hasn't resorted to anything as readily mockable as President Gerald Ford's "Whip Inflation Now," or WIN buttons in 1974, but is flailing around nearly as badly (inflation did, by the way, drop steeply from 1974 to 1976, but it took a recession to achieve this momentary gain). He's mostly trying to rebrand spending initiatives he already supported as steps toward curbing costs. Regardless, the Federal Reserve has a huge role and, so far, it, like the administration, has been slow to catch up to the new inflationary reality. The American public has had no such luxury. For it, increased prices are a daily lived reality, and no amount of spin is going to change that. Unless conditions markedly improve soon, Biden's experiment is going to end very badly for him and his party. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.
(c) 2022, The Washington Post Joe Biden campaig ned in 2020 as a nuclear arms-control enthusiast, declaring that "the United States does not need new nuclear weapons" and embracing a "sole purpose" policy that would narrow the circumstances in which he might direct the military to use one. Fourteen months into his presidency, he has been forced to abandon both commitments. Two intervening events explain the change. First, in 2021, satellite images made public the construction of as many as 300 silos, apparently for intercontinental ballistic missiles, in western China. The extent of Beijing's nuclear ambitions could no longer be ignored. Then Russia invaded Ukraine while rattling its nuclear saber. Nuclear weapons haven't been used, but they've already set the terms for the conflict: It's only because of these weapons that Russia's military can fight a conventional war in Ukraine without a credible threat of direct Western intervention. Specifically, Vladimir Putin's war has highlighted Russia's yawning advantage over the United States in nonstrategic, or "tactical," nuclear weapons, which have shorter ranges and smaller yields. Moscow's military doctrine exploits its roughly 10-to-1 advantage in the smaller weapons, and greater diversity of delivery systems, by contemplating their use on the European battlefield in a conventional war with NATO. If an A merican president has fewer options for a proportionate response to a limited, tactical nuclear strike, such a strike might look more attractive to Russia. It could gamble that the president (no matter America's official policy) would back down rather than risk escalating toward a full-fledged, or "strategic," nuclear exchange. The administration has responded to the changed circumstances. Biden reportedly
By Rich Lowry
By Jason Willick
told European heads of state last week that he would not formally weaken the United States' nuclear-use policy, as some of them feared. Meanwhile, his fiscal 2023 defense budget released this week funds several nuclear weapons programs initiated in the Trump administration that are under attack from disarmament advocates. Unfortunately, it may not be enough. The budget still terminates the Pentagon's development of a tactical nuclear weapon delivered by a sea-launched cruise missile (or SLCM, sometimes pronounced "slick-em"). This decision, announced in the middle of Putin's war on NATO's doorstep, could needlessly create doubt in Moscow about Washington's will in a nuclear standoff. The commander of U.S. forces in Europe is already sounding the alarm. In testimony before the House Armed Services Committee on Wednesday, Gen. Tod Wolters said the United States should continue developing the SLCM. "Having multiple options," Walters said, "exacerbates the challenge for the potential enemies" probing for ways to circumvent our nuclear deterrent. Mu lt iple opt ion s me a n s more than one ty pe of lowyield weapon for a president to choose from to respond to a limited Russian nuclear strike on a NATO ally. The aim would be to restore deterrence without unduly escalating. The defense budget wisely doesn't seek to dismantle the W76-2, a submarine-launched low-yield weapon that Biden opposed when it was first deployed in 2019. In an email, a senior Pentagon official cited "the deterrence contribution of the W762," as well as cost constraints, to explain the cancellation of the SLCM. But the W76-2 is delivered by a long-range ballistic missile, which means it can't be carried on most Navy submarines and would look like a "strategic" weapon on enemy radar. The Pentagon fielded it as a second-best alternative to the
SLCM only because it could be ready earlier. To Biden's credit, the budget maintains funding to develop the planned Long-Range Standoff Weapon, a nuclear cruise missile launched from an Air Force bomber. But planes are easier to detect than submarines and might take longer to get into position. The SLCM - which was also deployed late in the Cold War - is a powerful complement to the Air Force's planned weapon. It's true that NATO's conventional firepower could overwhelm Russia's military. But consider that early in the Cold War, the roles were reversed. The Soviet Union had the more powerful land army in Europe, while the United States, under its doctrine of "massive retaliation," planned to use nuclear weapons to meet a conventional attack. There is nothing especially irrational, then, about Russian threats of nuclear force in a conventional war against a superior opponent. The solution is to show Moscow that it has no hope of victory from a limited nuclear escalation because of NATO's ability to match it at every step. Nuclear deterrence can be debated end lessly bec ause there's mercifully little empirical evidence against which to test theories of how it works (or doesn't). But China's nuclear rise and the simultaneous return of war in Europe have shattered, at least for the foreseeable future, any claim that unreciprocated American nuclear disarmament is a realistic path to peace. If the SLCM could create even marginally more certainty in the minds of adversaries that the United States could and would - respond in kind to any use of nuclear force against allied territory, it's worth funding. In a destabilizing world, even perceived gaps in America's guarantee of deterrence make the unthinkable more likely.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Bail Reform: Facts Not Fearmongering On 3/30, the official Rensselaer County Exec. twitter account posted 8 tweets related to bail reform which is part of the NY budget process. Many of the tweets included statements without supporting information and additional data is necessary: - 3 options exist when a person is indicted/arrested/ charged: 1. Remand (held in pretrial detention) 2. Bail (money/bond/property in exchange to encourage a return for trial) 3. Own Recognizance (no cash bail, high expectation person will return for trial) - 67% of people in city & county jails are being held in pretrial - meaning they are awaiting trial, have not been convicted, & are innocent until proven guilty [Prison Policy Initiative] - 77% of suicides in local jails between ‘00 -’19 were people not convicted of a crime- they were in jail because they could not post bail [Bureau of Justice Statistics] - 2019 NY Bail Reform eliminated cash bail for most misdemeanor & non-violent felony charges. It also requires judges to consider a person’s ability to pay in cases
Glendora Vegeterian Club
there is plenty of protein in plants to meet all requirements. She also notes that most of the “faux” meats and cheeses often contain ingredients that are detrimental to health; it is best to stick to whole, “intact” foods. 5. Keep meals fun and interesting. Focus on the ones you like, and explore recipes that are available in vegan cookbooks and on vegan websites. Glendora’s take on this issue: Go vegan now. Do not procrastinate! Jokes 1. A youth taking an exam to work on the dam was asked, “What does ‘hydrodynamics’ mean?” The youth answered, “It means I don’t get the job.” 2. Harry to God: How much is a million dollars to you? God: Ten dollars. Harry: How long is a million years to you? God: One second. Harry: May I have ten dollars? God: One second.
Veganism is a growing movement in the U.S. and around the world. Norma Nazish in her article for Forbes Life, states that transitioning to a vegan lifestyle is not an overnight proposition. She outlines the process suggested by nutritionist Julieanna Hever. 1. Start slow. Focus on a few plant based meals you already enjoy and rotate them through the week. 2. Cut down on animal products and processed food by changing the proportion of these foods on your plate. 3. Enjoy plant based breakfasts - e.g., oatmeal, toast, smoothies - then broaden your vegan meals to include lunch, dinner and snacks. 4. Watch your protein. Hever states that the average protein we require is about 1 gram per kilogram of body weight, and …
where bail is set [NY Senate] - Under 2019 NY Bail Reform, judges can still & do set bail on cases alleging violence [NY Senate] - Bail reform does not equate to an increase in crime, since 2019 NY Bail Reform enacted, the vast majority of those released w/o bail were not rearrested while waiting for trial [NYC Criminal Justice Agency] - Pretrial rearrest rates remained nearly identical preand post- bail reform [NYC Comptroller] $6.6 million /year saved by Harris County, TX (pop. 4.8 million) & $314 million saved (aggregate 7 years) by individuals arrested for misdemeanors since similar reforms in enacted in 2015 [Harris County Tx.gov] There will always be an outlier case someone can point to as a single extreme example, but the data in NY and other places show the cash bail system needed reform. NY should not give into fear & only make changes based on data. Michael Myer, North Greenbush

No, I can’t find him. I don’t know what he looks like. 4. A man said he thought blonds have better dispositions than redheads or brunettes.

one-year gas tax holiday a couple of weeks ago. New York State has been collecting almost 40% more in gas tax money than at the same time two years ago. That comes to more than $280M of our tax dollars! We know they can afford to give us working families relief. Confusingly, Senator Sue Serino, who because of redistricting is set to represent us in Brunswick, as well as the neighboring towns, voted against this budget resolution, against a gas tax holiday to help working families. I looked at her social media where Sen. Serino says she’s for the gas tax. Like so many Albany politicians, she apparently says one thing but does another. One thing is certain: she voted against a gas tax holiday. I know that Jamie Cheney, who is running for NYS Senate to represent us in the rural towns of RensCo, supports a gas tax holiday 100% and, had she been in office, would have supported the bill. We don’t need a representative who is a reliable party-line voter; we need someone who will represent her constituents and Jamie Cheney has been crystal clear that she is not going to represent her party’s interests; she will represent her constituents’ interests. Paul Buehler, Brunswick Please bring extra dollars for our bake to take home a yummy treat. We will also have raffle tickets for sale $1 for 1, $2 for 3 and $5 for an arm’s length for our Italian Raffle Basket (basket holds Italian treats, wine and a gift certificate for Testo’s). All are welcome, including walk-ins. Come enjoy!

DANCE
forming at Radio City Music CONTINUED FROM 1 Hall on St. Patrick’s Day week, the same place I saw ‘Riverdance’ when it first came to the States,” she recalled. “Walking out on that stage … I still get chills every time I think about it.” Hickey founded An Clár in Albany in 2011, and added a second studio in Byram, New Jersey, the following year. Today, she has about 90 students all told, from age 3 on up, and became an adjudicator for competitions in 2017. While competing is not required for her students, those who wish to can attend local competitions, known as feiseanna, in order to move up through the beginner, advanced beginner, novice and prizewinner levels that eventually lead to the regional championships in Philadelphia each November. High scorers there qualify for the North American Irish Dance Championships in Montreal in July, or for the Worlds—an honor reserved for the top 10 percent of competitors in their respective age brackets. This year, that includes Hickey’s three longtime students. “They each bring their own personality into their dancing,” their teacher said. “Hayden has an elegance to her—it’s captivating to watch her. Ainsley is a spitfire— she brings energy that just makes you bounce in your seat with her as she’s dancing. Addie is kind of a mix of both—she has such a maturity to her dancing that you don’t usually see at that age.” Clinton and Francis, both students at Siena College, credit their teacher in large part for their achievements, and for their enduring love of the form. “Lexa is amazing,” said Francis, who followed her two older sisters’ footsteps (literally) into Irish dance and has been studying with Hickey since age 9. “She has always seen such potential in me and in all the dancers. She knows how to work with every one of us to help us do our best.” Hickey’s example has inspired Francis to begin prepping for the T.C.R.G. exam for certified Irish dance teachers. “I don’t think I would ever have continued to dance if I didn’t end up finding Lexa,” said Clinton, who is studying health sciences at Siena, on track toward becoming a physical therapist for dancers. “She’s the best influence I could have asked for. The school has that family feeling — we’re all best friends and we all love each other and support each other no matter what.” The 19-year-old says she had a moment during the past two years when she thought she was finished with Irish dance. But a brief time out convinced her to keep on kicking. “I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do with my life if I wasn’t dancing,” she said. “I felt like I didn’t have a purpose. As soon as I started back to classes, I realized this is definitely what I was meant to do and what I need to do. It just feels right.” Yet in spite of all that, Clinton calls herself “the most uncoordinated person you could ever meet.” “I trip over my own two feet on the daily,” she said. “But when I’m dancing, it all comes together and I don’t have to think about it.”
