Company, Friends of The Castleton Public Library, and the Castleton Kiwanis for taking time out of their summer to provide a food and treats for our park guests. Also, a huge thank you to all the bands, all of them were great and we found some awesome bands to bring back again. I want to thank all of you who came out and enjoyed the concerts and park. And most especially, I want to thank our Park Director Kevin Konig, his assistant Carl Ashby, and my assistant Dawne Kelly, without whom we wouldn’t be able to pull these events off. There may be four months of 2022 left, but 2023 budget season is already underway here in Schodack. I will work to keep you apprised of developments and look forward to collaborating with my fellow Board members to deliver a balanced budget that continues their tradition of holding the line on taxes while finding ways to expand services. And finally I want to wish all the Students, Teachers, and support staff a happy back-toschool!

According to a AAA/Best Western survey, 85 percent of dog owners travel with their dogs. The most popular vacations to let pooches tag along include going to the beach, camping and hiking. As a greater number of people are engaging in more activities with their pets, businesses in the travel and hospitality sector are taking notice and have become more accommodating to fourlegged guests. However, there’s still plenty to learn when taking a dog along as a travel companion. Explore these dog travel tips. • Invest in a crate. Even if the dog does not need a crate at home, it’s best to have one for travel. Crates often are required for airline travel and can keep dogs safer in cars. Many hotels also require that dogs be crated in the rooms to keep them out of trouble and prevent damage. A crate should be large enough that the dog can stand, turn and lie down, according to the American Kennel Club.
• Carry copies of pet-related documents. It’s important to prove that the dog is healthy and current on vaccinations. Officials may ask to see documentation when traveling abroad. Some travelers also may want to investigate pet passports. The USA does not require a pet passport, but the European Union pioneered pet passports to enable animals to move more freely throughout its member nations.•Plan a short excursion first. If you have never traveled with a dog before, make the first trip a short one, such as an overnight or two-day stay. This way, if the trip turns into a fiasco, checkout isn’t a week away. Shorter trips also help people figure out what works and what will need to change the next time.
• Expect some fees. Most hotels charge a fee for doggy clients. A fee of $25 to $50 is pretty standard. There also may be a designated pet floor to minimize the chances that guests without pets will be forced to interact with animals.•Normal behavior may go out the window. A dog who is calm at home may be out of sorts while traveling. It’s not uncommon for a dog unphased by people at home to suddenly be anxious and bark at sounds in a hotel hallway.•Look into pet-friendly restaurants. Smarter Travel says that some hotels won’t allow a guest to keep the dog alone in the room. That means meal time can be tricky. Find restaurants nearby that allow pets. Many that have outdoor seating may enable a leashed pet to stay near the seating perimeter.
Constituent Report for August 2022 from Schodack Supervisor Charles Peter After being forced to cancel in 2020 and running a modified camp in 2022, we were able to return to a more traditional structure for our summer camp this year. Youth Director Shelia Golden and her team oversaw multiple sites and provided a fun filled schedule that included various field trips, science experiments, and games. We appreciate everyone who worked for our town as counselors, administrators, and support staff. We also want to thank Schodack Central Schools for once again contracting with the town to provide camp sites and transportation. We look forward to offering this long-standing service once again in “Music2023.

• Bring water from home. When packing food, pack a few gallons of water as well, even though it can be cumbersome. Some dogs with delicate digestive systems may be upset by drinking the local water. A case of diarrhea is compounded further by having to make it into an elevator and outside the hotel in time. • Tire the dog out. Exercised dogs tend to be well-behaved dogs. Make time to go on long walks, visit a dog park or engage in other activities that will make the pup tired so it’s less likely to cause problems at the hotel.

to kick off the season in Week 0. Averill Park (1-0) appeared to have things under control against the bigger Middie Bears (0-1) through 24 minutes of action as the Warriors led 20-0 at halftime on the strength of two rushing touchdowns from Galuski, plus a 30-yard touchdown pass from Galuski to senior receiver JakeTheRizzo.second half, however, proved to be a battle of attrition for Averill Park as players such as Rizzo and middle linebacker Jacob Kellar, who finished with three sacks before departing with injury in the third quarter, seemingly were going down every three plays. If game balls were awarded Friday, Averill Park trainer Rachel Brown certainly would have received one. “It was tough. Hopefully, Jake is good,” Gobel said of Kellar. “It was their numbers against our numbers.” As more and more starters for the Warriors found themselves on the sidelines, Middletown’s running game amped up. The Middie Bears took the lead with 5:07 remaining when senior running back Tayeln McKinney, who led all rushers with 179 yards, burst down the right sideline for a 65-yard touchdown run. The extra-point boot provided Middletown a 21-20 lead. Phelps, who also produced a 65-yard kickoff return to open the game, set up the Warriors with excellent field position to the Middletown 47. “It just feels good that we got the return past midfield and got that drive going,” Phelps said. Averill Park’s final drive was aided by a 15-yard facemask penalty. Galuski, who left immediately after the game to catch a plane for a Division I baseball visit, capped the series with a sweep left for a 4-yard touchdown run. A star receiver for the team in 2021, Galuski completed 6 of 10 passes for 93 yards and added 27 yards rushing and three touchdowns. “He’s our star player, so it is expected from him,” Phelps said.

Open-concept homes have become increasingly popular in recent years. An open-concept home is one in which the rooms flow into one another with limited obstruction from walls or other barriers. According to the National Association of Home Builders, 84 percent of new single-family homes have fully or partially open layouts.While they may seem like a new trend, open floor plans are anything but. Early American homes featured open, often one- or two-room units built around the central kitchen/hearth. This maximized warmth and functionality. Homes evolved as incomes grew, and soon homes had several smaller rooms with specialized functions.What’sold has become new again. However, before diving head first into a new home purchase or a big renovation to realize an open-concept dream, consider the pros and cons of this type of setup to determine if it’s really right for you.
Disadvantages of open floor plans Open layouts are not for everyone. The same sense of space that occurs when walls are taken down may make rooms feel cavernous and less cozy, particularly in homes with ample square footage. In addition, privacy can be hard to come by when all rooms feed into one another. When the kitchen is not separate from the family room space, that makes it easy for noise to compromise the area’s comfort levels. There is no hiding from noise in an open floor plan, as sounds from voices, television shows and appliances tend to echo and blend together. And if the home is a single-story layout, those noises from the main living areas also may carry to adjacent bedrooms. Smoke and smells are another thing to consider. When something on the stove spills over, a small range hood will not be practical for clearing smoke from a large space. Though the aroma of freshly cooked food is enticing, it can make it hard for cooks to keep guests out of the kitchen.Open-concept homes are popular, but homeowners should weigh the pluses and minuses to see if this trend is truly right for them.
Advantages of open floor plans Open floor plans facilitate the flow of natural light throughout a space and can promote air flow, helping to reduce warm or cool pockets of air in otherwise closedoffOpenrooms.homes make socializing easier, even when people are doing different things. While someone is cooking dinner in the kitchen, he or she can still interact with someone else playing video games in the family room or paying bills in the home office. Entertaining also is easier, as mingling with guests is much more convenient when walls are not getting in the way. A smaller home can feel much larger if it employs an open concept. The square footage is not divided into per year. This eliminates underused spaces and opens up sight lines in the layout. The value of real estate has risen dramatically since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and prospective buyers may prefer an open-concept plan because it can help them minimize building costs.

I wrote about this in the Advertiser last year and I mentioned at the May 2022 town meeting, the lack of parking for low mobility people. Last year organizers of the town celebration parked in the parking lot adjacent to town hall. I hope that this year, the lot off of Main Ave is restricted to parking for those with mobility issues. The town is having a celebration, let’s make it easier for those with mobility issues to attend.
It seems as if on an almost weekly basis now, the people of Rensselaer affected by the Dunn dump have yet another letter in the Advertiser pleading with Governor Hochul to close the landfill, which raises in my mind the question why. Why would Kathy Hochul, who is running for office in November, and thus, in need of a steady stream of incoming cash donations, risk annoying and alienating the powerful people who benefit from keeping the landfill open by siding with a small group of people from Rensselaer who have no clout or power, or else they wouldn’t be writing letters to the Advertiser every week begging her to take Besidesaction?nothing, what is in it for her? She has made it quite clear since she took office that with her administration, money talks. So why should she do something for the people of Rensselaer for free, and start a precedent? Because of the so-called “green amendment,” which supposedly guarantees “clean water, clean air and a healthful environment,” which amendment became law of the land on 1 January 2022? Has anyone ever heard a word in favor the amendment uttered by Kathy Hochul since she has been in office? And what about Basil Seggos, her “environmental chief?”Hasanyone ever heard Basil utter a word in favor of the so-called “green amendment?” And of course they haven’t, because Basil has never even acknowledged the “green amendment” as applying to him as DEC commissioner and his agency, and to the contrary, in a WCNY Radio article titled “Green constitutional amendment still ‘undefined’” by David Lombardo on July 18th, 2022, Basil was quoted as saying said the amendment is still “very undefined.”

Sage,PresentsHistoricalGreenbushSociety“RusselltheMoneyKing”
Please join the Greenbush Historical Society on Sunday, September 11, 2 PM, at the East Greenbush Community Library for historian Michael Barrett’s illustrated lecture about Russell Sage. Born in poverty, Sage was a self-made man who made himself into the quintessential “Robber Barron” of the Gilded Age. After leaving Troy for the richer pickings of NYC, his financial manipulations of the Wall Street stock market, the banking industry, railroads and other major corporations became the stuff of financial legend. Along with his primary partner Jay Gould, Sage pillaged and plundered the American economic marketplace for almost forty years, He was probably the wealthiest American at the time of his death in 1906. His wife’s reaction to his passing is one of the greatest stories of philanthropic retaliation in American history. The program is free and open to the public. Because seating is limited, please call the library at 518-477-7476 to register.

East Greenbush Community Library Annual District election will be held on Tuesday, September 13, 2022, from 9 A.M. to 9 P.M. at the library (10 Community Way, East Greenbush). The 2023 budget was prepared with an eye toward maintaining the services and programs so valued by our community while still supporting library efforts to innovate and evolve. Four major considerations drove the development of the 2023 budget:1.Maintain quality library services by providing vibrant physical and virtual spaces, developing diverse collections and programs, investing in technology safety and security, and supporting library staff who make this happen.2.Join more than 25 UHLS libraries by migrating to “Fine Free” in January 2023, eliminating most fees for the late return of items. 3. Ensure the library’s long-term sustainability by replenishing reserve accounts to mitigate the financial impact of necessary but costly building repairs.4.Offer transparency to the community by including all income and expenses, including gift, grant, and capital income and expenses, in the voter approved budget. The proposed 2023 budget (including all fund accounts) is $2,332,682. In previous years gift, grant and capital funds were managed outside the budget. The tax impact on an average homeowner is $9.45/year increase. A second proposition on the ballot is for the election of two Trustees to serve five-year terms on the Library Board of Trustees. On the ballot are Michael Poost and Charlie Pensabene.Fordetails go to @eglibrary.atrector,oreglibrary.org/about/boardhttps://contacttheLibraryDi-JillDugasHughes,518-477-7476ordirector
