LOCAL NEWS.
Meet the Candidates Judge David W. Fryer Seeks 7th Term as Sand Lake Town Justice Entering the election season and once again seeking re-election as Town Justice, many things occurred to me. As I go door to door hoping to garner votes, it became very clear that unless you have direct experience with local courts, there is very little information available in terms of what we do. In as much as people tend to believe that we are a traffic court of sorts, as Town Justice I have dealt with serious felony matters including murder charges, serious violent offenses, drug and alcohol abuse and domestic violence, just to mention a few. Over the years I have presided over a multitude of court proceedings from criminal jury trials to small claims hearings and beyond. I am acutely aware that we, as judges, can impact a person’s life on many levels and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I understand very clearly that a single appearance before the court may be a person’s only contact with the legal system and that they should go away with the understanding that they were treated firmly, fairly and with respect. In return, I expect the same from all in the courtroom. What I am suggesting is that experience and qualifications for all candidates should matter, but more so with town justices given the direct connection we have with the people, litigants, law enforcement, lawyers and all else who come before us. I have 24 years as your Town Justice and 14 years working for a State Agency that counsels, educates, and aids all town and village judges and clerks statewide and 18 years prior to that as a lawyer practicing in Town. These are not elected positions that should left to those who may be politically connected, but whose history suggests comparable legal experience, background, and a good judicial temperament. I have spent my many years on the bench being prepared, courteous, fair minded and as efficient as possible. I have been privileged to work with a great Court staff and a retiring Co-Judge, Paul Toomey, and with your help, I hope to continue. I therefore respectfully request for your support in the upcoming election. Thank You
Sand Lake Historical Society to Feature Robert Shuey November 9th SAND LAKE - On Tuesday November 9th, the Sand Lake Historical Society returns to Sand Lake Town Hall for its monthly program, “Sir, What Do We Do With All The Dead? Mortuary Practices During the American Civil War.” Today’s military considers care for its fallen comrades to be a sacred duty with zero tolerance for mistakes and timely and compassionate notification of next of kin. However, that was not always the case. Prior to the Civil War, service members who died in battle were typically left to decay or buried in place, under primitive conditions, with few provisions for positive identification or notification of family members. Noted Civil War historian Robert W. Shuey will discuss how and why the Civil War marked a major turning point in military mortuary affairs and spurred the Nation into far better caring for its fallen heroes, establishing national cemeteries, and setting the stage for subsequent national days of remembrance such as Memorial and Veterans Day. Shuey is a retired geologist and charter member of and frequent presenter for

Warriors do just enough Averill Park makes one goal hold up against Mohonasen; Queensbury reaches first final By JAMES ALLEN
Unmarked runs patrolling through his team’s defensive zone Monday evening raised the ire of Averill Park girls’ soccer coach Nate Luskin. It also elevated the octave range of senior goalie Michelina Lombardi as she began barking out orders to her teammates. “I can see the whole field. I am the commander-in-chief if you will,” said Lombardi, who knows all about being in charge as she serves as the president of her senior class and occupies the same role for the school’s Student-Athlete Advisory Board. “I have to organize my backline to make sure we’re seeing the players. If not, one goal can make the difference as we see here with tonight’s game.” One goal did indeed make
the difference in the first of two Class A semifinal contests held at Mechanicville. Sophomore striker Gabriele Geise scored with 28:33 remaining in the opening half as second-seeded Averill Park made that score hold up in producing a 1-0 victory over third-seeded Mohonasen. “She is one of the few players on our team that can take people on 1-v-1 and convert,” Luskin said of Geise. The Warriors (10-4-4), ranked No. 14 in the state, compete next in Friday’s final at Stillwater against No. 1 seed Queens-bury (15-1-2). The Spartans advanced with a 4-3 decision over fifth-seeded Burnt Hills in the evening’s second semifinal. It marks the first time in program history Queensbury has reached the sectional final.
“Oh my goodness, never happened before,” Queensbury senior star Brigid Duffy said regarding reaching the championship game. “It’s crazy.” Averill Park and Queensbury met in a nonleague contest and battled to a 1-1 deadlock on Sept. 20. After a 2020 season devoid of sectionals or state playoffs because of the coronavirus pandemic, Lombardi savored the chance to again get to compete for a sectional title Friday. She is also a standout guard for the girls’ basketball team. “We are extremely grateful to be back here playing sectionals now that COVID is slowing down. We’re regaining some of those opportunities back and we’re really grateful to be back out here tonight and Please see WARRIORS 6

MATTERS EAST GREENBUSH TOWN COUNCIL

MATTERS SUMMARIZES CAMPAIGN FOR EAST GREENBUSH RESIDENTS This campaign marks the eighth time over the last nineteen years that I have had the opportunity to greet the residents of East Greenbush at their doors. While I have always found this to be the most enjoyable aspect of the campaign, it was especially the case this year; as I’m fond of saying, “it’s not just the destination that matters, but also the journey.” A very special thank you to the residents who were able to open their doors to my co-candidate, Hollie Kennedy, and me; and to those who have allowed us to put a campaign sign on their lawn. When I began the campaign, it was to make clear my reasons for, once again, seeking the privilege to serve you. I hope I’ve articulated as much over the past two months in this publication and by meeting you in person. My entire career as a councilman has been dedicated to serving responsibly and putting the interests of residents ahead of all else. To keep East Greenbush growing means that residents expect three basic things from town government: ensuring the high quality and value of town services, keeping property taxes as low as possible, and following good-government practices along the way; it’s as simple as that. The professional and collaborative attitude of this town board has allowed me to serve independently during the course of conducting town business, old and new, and when dealing with issues that may or may not be controversial. To the benefit of residents, this town board and I have worked as a team on a host of efforts in areas that include: (1) a revitalization of property use and a strengthening of planning practices; (2) a bolstering of town finances and protection of town taxpayers; and (3) an expansion of town assets and an improvement of public-works infrastructure. Looking ahead, there still remain a number of initiatives yet to be completed in order to continue the legacy of good government in East Greenbush. Although challenging, I believe that we are up to the task. While walking door-to-door, some residents have asked me to identify the name of the party line on which I’m running. It’s important for you to know that if I’m re-elected to the town council and you call me with a problem or need my help, I won’t care about your party enrollment; I also expect that, at that point, you won’t care about mine either. It’s always been, and would always be, an honor to serve all residents of East Greenbush. Indeed, my fellow town-board members and I endeavor to put progress over politics, strive to improve the quality of residents’ lives in our town, and are eager to keep East Greenbush growing! If you have any questions or issues, please call or text me at 518-330-9110 or e-mail me at rkmjr@verizon.net. Also, visit me on Facebook at: www.facebook. com/Matters4EG. ~Rick Matters

again on Friday,” Lombardi said. “We want to make the most of it.” “I am really excited. I know our team has worked as hard as it could to get to this point,” Geise said. “We still have work to do.” Luskin was not enamored by what he witnessed from his team during the opening half. His senior goalie agreed. “We can play better than that. We can,” Luskin said. “We’re capable of playing better than that. Defensively, the first 25 minutes we were a little shaky even though we spent the weekend going over exactly what we needed to do. We kind of cleaned it up.” “Our coaches talk about defense. We pride ourselves on defense,” Lombardi said. “Our defense was a little disorganized during the first half and that is why we couldn’t get as many attacking opportunities as we did in the second half. Yes, we did put the goal in, but we could have done better to organize ourselves.” Mohonasen found the going a lot more difficult after intermission. Lombardi could be heard making sure her teammates identified their marks. “She is a loud voice and understands what the defense should be doing,” Luskin said. Unlike the first contest, Queens-bury managed to generate offense quickly and converted. Bayley Duffy, Brigid’s sister, scored on a breakaway with 25:15 left in the first half, followed by goals from Ava Stewart and Brigid Duffy, who converted a penalty. The top seed led 3-0 at halftime. “It was huge to do that because we knew (Burnt Hills) would be coming at us hard in the second half,” Brigid Duffy said. Burnt Hills scored on a penalty kick from Ella Blesi, but Stewart answered back for Queensbury with 20:22 remaining to make it 4-1. The fifth-seeded Spartans refused to surrender and got two goals from sophomore striker Sam Torres to reduce the deficit to 4-3 with 3:34 left. CONTINUED FROM 3

AVERILL PARK - AP’s fall regular season for all sports has wrapped up, and sectional play has officially begun for our teams last week. The girls soccer team defeated Lansingburgh 4-0 in their first sectional game on 10/22. Senior Bailee Lange scored the game’s first goal to give AP the 1-0 lead going into the half. The Warriors didn’t look back from there, with Senior Merry Gaylord scoring twice and Gabby Geise adding an insurance goal to help the girls walk away with the shutout win.

AVERILL PARK - This week’s Scholar Athlete is Avery Kittleson. Avery is a captain for the Varsity tennis team, where she plays on the singles ladder. Avery began playing tennis in her freshman year after switching over from soccer, and has now been playing the sport for four years. To prepare for her season, Avery makes sure she runs, lifts, and gets onto the courts to play as much as possible. Avery’s favorite part about her sport is her teammates; Avery loves her team and having the chance to play with them. Avery also noted that the mental state required to play tennis can be challenging to maintain. “Tennis is a mental sport. It can be so easy to get in your head so you have to stay concentrated.” This year, Avery is proud of making it past the first two rounds of sectionals and into the round of 16 with Dayna Densmore as her doubles partner. In addition to her athletic accomplishments, Avery is successful academically. Avery has a 97.43 GPA, and is enrolled in the New Visions Medical Program. To balance school and sports, Avery prioritizes her homework over sports. Avery also ensures that she gets the most out of her study hall, and uses it to get as much work done as possible. Avery is also a member of the National Honor Society, and in her free time Avery enjoys hanging out with friends. Avery’s parents and grandparents have been her role models. They always inspire Avery to work hard in school, and Avery does her best to make them proud. Avery also noted that Coach G and Coach Abb have helped her excel in her sport by supporting her and molding her into the player she is today. Avery would advise a younger athlete to “enjoy high school and to participate in plenty of sports and activities.” Avery is currently applying to colleges, and next year Avery plans on majoring in biology on a pre-med track. We wish Avery the best as she finishes her senior year and prepares for college.

STRIDE Adaptive Sports Players Keep Learning To Glide Despite Disabilities
Members of The Capital District Sled Warriors team from STRIDE Adaptive Sports enjoy the Paralympic Sport of sled hockey, practicing locally at the Albany County Hockey Facility and competing at events throughout the area.
WEST SAND LAKE - With just days before their first practice, a handful of local sled hockey players with disabilities still needed volunteers to skate with them and push their sled so they can play. A sled hockey pusher is the unsung hero of the team, assisting any player who cannot propel himself due to mobility disabilities. One of these
athletes was Abigail Radliff, a 27 year old with cerebral palsy who trades her wheelchair for a sled and plays defense for STRIDE’s “Capital District Sled Warriors” team. Volunteers to push the sleds come and go, and Radliff was one of the players who needed a pusher for the upcoming season. Luckily, members of the RPI men’s hockey team found out about the need and immediately stepped forward to volunteer. “I know it will mean a lot to our adaptive players having Division 1 college athletes by their side to share their hockey experiences with,” said Mary Ellen Whitney, STRIDE’s Founder/President. “Our sled hockey team are the defending gold medal champions from the Empire State Winter Games in Lake Placid, and I know RPI’s hockey program won a national championship. It’s great to bring competitive successes together like that, but at the end of the day everything is about participation and inclusion. We’re all grateful these student-athletes will be sharing their passion for the game and enabling players with disabilities to get out on the ice and fly. Many of our athletes tell me that when they play, it’s like they don’t have a disability.” According to STRIDE’s Program Director, Camille Pawlowski, members of the RPI men’s hockey team will volunteer as their schedule allows for practices and competitions. STRIDE’s sled hockey team hopes to return to
Lake Placid to defend their title, and they also are defending champions at the Amelia Park New England sled hockey tournament. There is also a pond hockey event scheduled for late February at Crooked Lake, so there are fun adventures ahead for everyone. RPI Hockey shares the same enthusiasm. “We are thrilled to be working with and helping out with the Sled Warriors hockey team. This year will be a great experience for our team to share the ice with them and help them in any way we can. Most of all it will be an opportunity we all can learn from,” said Shane Sellar, a graduate student and #26 on the team. Head Coach, Dave Smith, added, “This is something our guys love, giving back to the community. The fact that it is at an arena with hockey players and people that love the game is even better. One of our team goals is to give back to the people in the community and this is a great opportunity. We are excited to partner together.” STRIDE’s sled hockey team practices every Sunday at Albany County Hockey Facility - 830 Albany Shaker Rd, Albany, NY 12211. The team is open to Capital Region athletes with disabilities who are looking for a new sport. Newcomers are invited to join the team on the ice to try a sled on the first weekend of practice each month. Anyone interested can RSVP to cpawlowski@stride.org or call STRIDE’s office at (518)-598-1279.

PFOA/PFOS Testing of Private Wells in Brunswick Brunswick Residents, I have been concerned about the safety of my home’s well water since Hoosick Falls, all the more so because I have 2 young children. I’m sure many of you have heard about the new positive PFOA results in private & school wells in Poestenkill. I want to know with certainty that our town’s water is safe. In our county and surrounding counties, PFOA tests are coming up positive 20-30% of the time!! That is alarmingly high. The Town of Brunswick currently has no plans to test our well water, so I
have spoken with the owner of the certified water testing lab that has handled all of the local PFOA testing, from Hoosick Falls to Poestenkill, and have made arrangements for discounted testing for Brunswick residents. If we batch our tests as residents, we will get the same deal as Poestenkill residents, bringing the cost of testing down from $500/well to $350/well. If you are interested in testing your water, please reach out to me ASAP and we will get this going. Email JenniferMannBrunswickNY@gmail. com (no hyphens). If we do have positive detections in Brunswick, then we will be well positioned to find county, state and federal

WGU Celebrates American Education Week with Scholarships for Current and Aspiring Teachers Western Governors University’s (WGU) Teachers College will mark the National Education Association’s (NEA) 2021 American Education Week Nov. 15-19 by announcing its WGU Loves Teachers and Become a Teacher scholarship programs, together totaling $6 million, for current and future education professionals who wish to pursue bachelor’s or master’s degree programs in the Teachers
College. Each WGU Loves Teachers and Become a Teacher scholarship is valued up to $4,000 and designed to help current teachers improve their skill set in the classroom or move into administration, or to assist professionals in obtaining the required credentials for a rewarding future career as an educator. Recruiting for the educator pipeline is crucial as the nation faces a teacher shortage; the nonprofit, accredited, competency-based WGU has graduated 211 students in New York state and more than 16,700 nationwide since March 2020. The university’s licensure-eligible pro-
grams in the state include special education, sciences and social studies, all of which have been identified by the U.S. Department of Education and New York State Education Department as subject shortage areas. “New York state’s children deserve strong, diverse teachers in core disciplines throughout their K-12 experience,” said Rebecca Watts, Ph.D., who oversees New York state as Northeast Regional Vice President of WGU. “Too often, tuition costs and life circumstances — including work or family obligations — can be barriers to the profession for talented would-be teachers.

AROUND TROY YOUR LOCAL NEWS & ADVERTISING SECTION Friction over survey findings Consultant accuses RPI of suppressing “very negative” results of employee survey By RACHEL SILBERSTEIN
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute officials allegedly sought to suppress employee climate survey results that painted the Troy university in a negative light, according to an internal email obtained by the Times Union. RPI alumnus Howard Deutsch, whose company Quantisoft conducted the survey in July, emailed key faculty members about his findings after conversations with the university’s human resource officer, Curtis Powell, turned sour, he said. “In each of our meetings Curtis mentioned the need to present the survey findings in a positive manner,” Deutsch wrote in his email to faculty. “In the end, I refused to put a positive spin on the very negative survey findings.” Deutsch sent an executive summary and 900 pages in comments to Powell on Sept. 7 that highlighted deep distrust in RPI leadership, poorly maintained facilities, and structural issues that he said were preventing the university from meeting its stated academic and research goals. When Powell deemed his analysis “too negative,” Deutsch emailed the full report to RPI’s Board of Trustees, prompting an irate phone call from Powell, he told the Times Union. “Let me just say, it was not cordial,” he said. A graduate of the class of 1969, Deutsch said he offered to conduct the survey free of charge when he ran into an RPI classmate who is now a trustee at their 50th reunion in 2019. He observed that many alumni had negative things to say about their alma mater and offered his services. Talks with the university began in 2020, but the actual survey was delayed a year because of the pandemic, he said. More than 70 percent of faculty and staff, 1,085 in total, completed the survey, according to Deutsch.
Based on the survey results, Deutsch describes a “fear-based, unhealthy, stifling culture across the RPI campus.” RPI’s IT infrastructure and support fall far short of the campus’ needs and its buildings are inadequate and poorly maintained, according to the survey results. More lecture halls and classrooms are needed, he said. Respondents said diversity, equity and inclusion issues aren’t being sufficiently addressed, according to Deutsch. The institution’s research environment is “especially alarming,” with faculty describing a lack of support and cumbersome processes, he said. RPI President Shirley Ann Jackson in December 2012 updated the university’s strategic plan. The “Rensselaer Plan 2024” included a research portfolio target of $250 million. The institution’s current research portfolio is approximately $100 million, the survey found. RPI spokesman Gary Zarr acknowledged that a faculty and staff climate survey was conducted. “As initially planned, Rensselaer will establish a special task force of faculty and staff to assess the survey’s results in its entirety,” he said. “As part of our fiscal year performance planning process, we will continue to review our strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities.” Deutsch said Powell attributed many of RPI’s problems to the COVID-19 pandemic, an assessment he disagrees with. “While COVID has clearly exacerbated many of RPI’s problems, faculty and staff made it clear that the problems have existed for many years and were getting worse” pre-pandemic, he said. The health crisis prompted the university to lay off dozens of nontenured staff by not renewing their contracts at the start of the pandemic. The university has seen a slew of resignations and retirements in the past year, including among its top brass. RPI’s vice president of administration, vice president of
Fire routs 9 people from home Officials don’t think building in Troy has to be demolished By PETE DEMOLA
A fire late Saturday displaced two households living in a downtown Troy rowhouse. Six adults and three children were displaced following a fire at 344 Congress St., which is just south of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute campus. There were no injuries, said Assistant Chief Rich Cellucci. The first and second floors incurred water and smoke damage, Cellucci said. The fire originated on the third floor, which was most heavily damaged. The cause remained under investigation. One cat perished PAUL BUCKOWSKI / TIMES UNION The building “can be rehabbed,” Cellucci said. A view of the fire-damaged buildThe American Red Cross provided aid to seven ing at 344 Congress St., seen here people, including three children ranging in age from on Sunday in Troy. 11 to 17.
strategic communications, vice president of finance and executive director of the Office of Intellectual Property Optimization have all recently left. “As the global COVID-19 pandemic continues, employees in every industry are making important lifestyle changes such as retiring and relocating closer to their immediate family,” RPI spokesman Chris Nolan said in a September statement. “Some of our most senior leaders are making similar decisions, and we support their lifestyle decision.” Jackson plans to resign at the end of the academic year after more than 20 years at the helm of the Troy institution. A presidential search is under way. Jackson is one of the highest-paid university presidents in the United States, earning a salary of $5.8 million in recent years. Her seven-figure salary and top-down management style have at times been a source of contention among students, as well as some dissident alumni and donors. Deutsch says that he wasn’t asked to sign a nondisclosure agreement, but that he decided against sharing the full report with faculty members. Instead, he urged them to contact board members to get more information. Deutsch also declined to share the survey results with the Times Union. He says he contacted faculty because they had reached out to him and he had little confidence his findings would reach Jackson. Deutsch said he set out to be constructive, not vindictive. Whoever is selected to lead RPI next should be aware of its challenges, Deutsch said. “A large-scale turnaround is needed,” Deutsch wrote to faculty. “... There is an urgent need to start addressing the many challenges now, many months before the new president comes on board. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that meaningful action will happen soon.”

This beautiful Hudson Valley drive hugs the eastern edge of the Hudson River and takes riders to eight historic estates once owned by U.S. presidents, famous financiers, tycoons, artists and other notable figures. The route is as stunning driven from Albany south to Tarrytown as it is from a starting point of New York City on north to Hudson — and all origin points in between.

From Lyndhurst Mansion to Olana, the entire drive should take about two and a half hours via scenic Routes 9 and 9G. But plan on padding that time so you can get out to explore the gardens of these gorgeous historic estates and take time to picnic and relax. The gorgeous Gothic Revival historic home of railroad magnate and financier Jay Gould was built in 1838 in the Lower Hudson Valley and is a designated National Historic Landmark. It’s also playing host to the famous Westminster Dog Show this year in June (and won’t be publicly accessible then). Buy a Daily Ground Pass (May 3 - December 19, 9:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. daily) in advance to discover the estate’s 67 acres of pathways, explored best on foot, but also by bike or even skateboard. Picnicking and leashed dogs welcome. (Note that the mansions themselves are closed to the public in the pandemic. Call ahead or check websites before you go.)

Sleepy Hollow: Kykuit, the Rockefeller Estate
Hyde Park: Springwood, the home of Franklin Delano Roosevelt
This former home of oil tycoon and philanthropist John D. Rockefeller is a 40-room, four-floor, foliage-covered Beaux-Arts gem. And yet it’s the incredible gardens that deservedly steal the show. Designed by William Welles Bosworth, the gardens are a visual feast of fountains, sculptures from renowned modern artists like Pablo Picasso, and mixed landscape styles — including a Japanese garden, an Italian garden, and a rose garden.
The mansion of Franklin D. Roosevelt began a phased reopening staring July 17, with times tickets available via its online reservations system. Springwood offers a fascinating peek behind the scenes as to how our nation’s 32nd president, who required use of a wheelchair, navigated the two-story home. It’s also a delight to explore the estate’s beautiful 1,000+ acres of gardens and trails.
(Note: Kykuit’s grounds are temporarily closed due to COVID-19, and admittance is by booked, guided tours only until further notice.)
Prioritize a stop at the estate’s famous rose garden — the roses begin blooming in April and are at their peak in June — which is the final resting place for FDR, wife Eleanor Roosevelt, and FDR’s famous dog, Fala.

Hyde Park: Vanderbilt Mansion
Hudson: Olana State Historic Site
This 54-room Gilded Age mansion was once home to the Vanderbilts, one of America’s most prominent and wealthy families who made their fortune in steamboating, the railroads and other investments, and who regarded the house as a country escape from New York City life.
If you took the coolest aspects of Victorian, Persian and Moorish Revival architecture and mashed them all together, you’d get this strangely awesome, colorful river mansion that was once home to painter Frederic Church, who is considered one of the most prominent figures in the Hudson River School of landscape painting.
While the mansion is closed for tours in the pandemic, the estate’s formal, terraced gardens are open for strolling, as are the surrounding 200+ acres of grounds, which include a waterfall, remarkable old trees, and stunning views of the Hudson River. Picnicking? Pitstop at the nearby Eveready Diner for sandwiches to go.
The exterior detail of the villa is a trippy riot of stencilling, arches, stone and brick, while the remarkable views stretch all the way to the Catskills, Green Mountains and Connecticut. (The uninterrupted views to the west make this a particularly nice spot to catch the day’s fading light.)
• 119 Vanderbilt Park Rd, Hyde Park, NY 12538
The home’s 250 acres of grounds include a lake, farm and beautiful flower garden — all of which are open even though the home temporarily is not due to the pandemic. Need a place to park for dinner? Try a spot off-the-beaten-path in Hudson. • Cosy Cottage 5720, NY-9G, Hudson, NY 12534

Staatsburgh: Staatsburgh State Historic Site John Greim/LightRocket via Getty Images
Called “Mills Mansion” by locals, this 65-room country home of financier Ogden Mills and Ruth Livingston Mills (inherited from her great-grandfather, Morgan Lewis, New York’s third governor) is a Gilded Age jewel box overlooking the Hudson River and worthy of a return trip to tour the home post-pandemic for a glimpse of the dining room alone. The home’s surrounding 192 acres are now a state park, veined with several walking paths and home to a public campground. The grounds are also a prime local sledding spot in the winter. Note the Port-a-Pottie near the start of the walking path, by the parking lot. • 75 Mills Mansion Drive, Road 1, Staatsburg, NY 12580
Rhinebeck: Wilderstein Historic Site John Greim/LightRocket via Getty Images
After all of those stunning marble and stone houses, the color-popping magic of Wilderstein, a burgundy Queen Anne-style mansion perched on a bluff above the Hudson River, is a refreshing visual shift. Accessible via a winding country road off of Route 9, this former home of Margaret Suckley, the cousin of FDR (and, fun fact: the person who gave FDR his beloved dog, Fala) is surrounded by 40 acres of winding paths and grounds designed by landscape architect Calvert Vaux, co-designer of NYC’s Central Park and Prospect Park. Be sure to stroll to the home’s portico for one of the best vantage points to view the river. • 330 Morton Rd, Rhinebeck, NY 12572

Because of Covid-19 precautions no refreshments will be served and attendees must wear masks. The program is free and the building is handicapped accessible. For directions, telephone (518) 733-0010. Just one year after the Lebanon Springs Railroad began service to Bennington, Milo Daniels opened the Vanderbilt Hotel in 1871. It was just across the
road from the Stephentown railroad station and served the traveling public. It was a two story structure with a glass-windowed “Captain’s Room” on the roof. The hotel later served as town hall and then fire hall and was a meeting place for many organizations. In 1998 the building was deemed too deteriorated to repair and was razed and replaced by the new fire house. Town Historian Flint will tell some tales of exciting events at the hotel and its bar, and highlight other Main Street businesses during Stephentown’s “railroad era.” The attractive brass holiday ornaments of the Vanderbilt House Hotel
created for the historical society will be for sale.

Home improvement projects can range from relatively inexpensive undertakings to complex endeavors that cost homeowners thousands of dollars. In an effort to make expensive projects more affordable, homeowners may look for ways to pitch in, and do-it-yourself demolition is a common way to cut costs. Due to geographical fluctuations in price as well as the scale of a project, it’s hard to pinpoint just how much homeowners can save by doing demolition work themselves. HomeAdvisor estimates that the average small interior demolition project costs just over $3,000, though more significant demolition projects can cost considerably more than that. Given the cost, it’s no surprise that so many homeowners volunteer to do demolition on their own. Though it’s possible to do so safely, homeowners can take steps to determine if it’s in their best interest to take on a DIY demolition or leave it to the professionals. • Conduct a cost analysis.

project will entail. Demolition projects may seem simple enough, but contractors can illustrate the correct way to do things so as to minimize potentially costly damage. Some contractors may offer to help homeowners start the demo project and then leave them to their own devices once they get a knack for what to do. Once homeowners see what it will take, they can then decide if DIY is best for them. • Enlist help. No DIY demo should ever be done alone. The risk for accident and injury is simply too great for homeowners to go it alone.
Homeowners who can’t enlist some volunteers to pitch in should leave the job to the professionals. DIY demolition can save homeowners a lot of money. But such projects are not necessarily as simple as they seem. Homeowners should take steps to see exactly what they’re getting into before they volunteer to take on demo duty.

(Cont. from Previous Pg.) homeowners don’t have on hand. Rentals can be considered in such instances, but the cost of renting equipment can reduce the amount of money homeowners are saving by going it alone. For example, homeowners may be able to pull up vinyl or tile flooring on their own, but not all floors are installed the same. Some floors may have been glued more effectively than others, making it hard and/or time-consuming to pull them up by hand. A walk-behind floor scraper can make it easier to remove such floors, but that equipment must be rented. A cost analysis comparing the contractors’ demolition cost estimate and the cost of DIY, complete with equipment rental projections, can give a more accurate picture of how much money homeowners will save by going it alone. If the savings of DIY are negligible, homeowners should probably let the contractor handle the demo. • Speak with your contractor. Prior to saying they’ll do the demo work on their own, homeowners should speak with their contractors to get an accurate idea of what the

Glendora Vegetarian Club The following are comments from fans of the American Vegan magazine: “I am grateful for the wealth of it’s contents.” “I really enjoyed the last issue of American Vegan (Spring 2021), I thought it was fabulous. The writers are excellent. You really have it down. I appreciate it a lot. You’re doing a great job!!” “I am delighted that AVS is opening a storefront in Philadelphia. I believe the American Vegan Center will
generate great interest in the power of a plant diet. You have my sincere wishes for the best outcome.” Jokes - 1. Glendora regrets to inform you that this month’s meeting of the Clairvoyance Club has been canceled due to unforeseen circumstances. 2. A man wanted to join Paranoids Anonymous, but they would not tell him where they held their meetings. 3. Have you heard of the TV show “60 Minutes”? Glendora has a TV show called “Thirty Seconds.” 4. A man said, “If I ever need a heart transplant, I want the heart of my boss; it has never been used.” For more information, visit americanvegan.org.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A poor response to a serious concernPFOA in Poestenkill I was somewhat surprised by Owen Goldfarb’s Editorial (The Advertiser, October 7, 2021 In his proposed “solution”, he suggested “ Until testing is completed homeowners can consider installing an under-sink PFOA certified filtration system costing about $100.” Sure, that is an easy and relatively inexpensive “solution” to what might or might not be in our wells. But is this ad hoc answer the answer? Nope. It doesn’t address our families’ using water in the bathroom(s) as we brush our teeth. Or even exposure to PFOA infused water in our showers and baths, a risk/possibility that has not been ruled out. And how do we know if this work around is even effective? More $350.00 tests. Every quarter. So this “solution” adds up to about $1,500.00 a year. Sure Owen. Easy to say. And this is from the person that just a few weeks ago, when discussing a potential Town financial Windfall, admonished the Board to spend the money wisely. All the while suggesting we, the possible victims sponsor the solution. Yes, some pretty good advice. But, as usual, there is a “back story”. And it has something to do with Mr. Goldfarb’s alleged whisper campaign for the town to pay for extending Cable service to his area of town. At least one Town Board member has allegedly been approached. Now, I have no argument that he wants cable. But it is only one part of town. Perhaps such an expansion should be financed by the potential users. Just like the town did with the Water District. A specific need, a specific section of town. Collect data and costs and vote up or down on such a prospect. Or maybe it may be covered in some Federal or State spending package. Or done as a “member item” by our Senator or Assemblyman? Or simply do as I have to do for my water. Drive to Wynantskill and buy it. For the cost of a cup of coffee, you get to use free Wi-Fi There Owen, fixed it. And for far less than $1,500.00 per year.... Like you said, “spend the money wisely”... Good advice.... Evan Eisenhandler, Poestenkill
North Greenbush Ambulance North Green hosted on First Responders Community Day on October 9. It was nice to learn more about our first responders, especially the North Greenbush Ambulance. We need to support our North Greenbush Ambulance more. Over the last year, North Greenbush Town Board member, Jack Rogers has diligently highlighted this issue at town meetings. North Green bush has experienced an increase in ambulance calls. In 2021, from January to Oct 14 there were 1418 calls for the ambulance. In contrast, the same period last year only had 922 calls. This is 50% more calls and stems from some of the new development in town. In the 2022 budget, the North Greenbush Ambulance does get an increase in allocations, but more is needed. We need better longterm planning and support for the North Greenbush Ambulance. Currently, North Greenbush has only one ambulance location located in Wynantskill. Another site is needed to provide better coverage of the town. Minutes matter, when my father had a stroke, he was able to

recover because an ambulance was able to get him to a medical facility in a timely manner and he received the clot-busting drug. Working together, we can make North Greenbush even better. Michael Myer, North Greenbush
Not Your Grandfather’s Democrat The Democrat party of the past two decades has evolved, or more aptly stated, digressed into something closely resembling the National Socialist Workers Party in pre-war Germany. Their tactics of deception, division, cultural engineering, and mass propaganda have seemingly been adopted and followed to the letter by the DNC. Devoid of constructive ideas or programs palatable to mainstream America, Democrats have nothing to run on other than fabricated character assignations of their political opponents. Their true agenda for America had to remain cloaked as what freedom loving American would vote for losing their liberty and freedoms? But, recall summer 2020. Antifa and BLM were allowed to riot, burn, and commit murder in several U.S. cities while their Democrat mayors, V.P. candidate Kamala Harris, and Pelosi seemingly endorsed this anarchy. So, what does the Democrat party endorse and promote? Full term abortion – aka infanticide. Totally open borders. Any and all variations of moral depravity. Suppression of free speech of all with opposing views. Incremental and subtle elimination of the Bill of Rights. These are just a portion of their goals. Continuation of Obama’s stated goal to “fundamentally change America”. So, just as Mr. Baker is asking for Republican candidates, I believe in equal opportunity. Who are these Democrat candidates. As Democrats how do they reconcile their party’s platform? What form of Socialism are they willing to accept and impose upon our little corner of America? Do unborn lives matter? Gary Blauvelt, Averill Park
Poestenkill Business Association Meet the Candidates Monday night we had a successful Meet the Candidates night with all candidates showing up for the county legislature seats, county clerk, Poestenkill Town Board and Town supervisor. The real showdown, however, was between Steve McLaughlin and Gwen Right. McLaughlin is the obvious front runner for the county executive seat while Right is a newcomer challenging on the basis of transparency of government and “bringing the right jobs to Rensselaer County.” When asked to clarify what jobs she was looking to bring into the county, she responded with “I don’t have any specifics.” McLaughlin’s answer was that all jobs are valuable, even ones that start at $1520 an hour when you are bringing in thousands of them. “You can’t cater only to people that want to make $200k a year.” Right challenged that the county needed to be more transparent and that their covid info was hard to find. This is a jaw dropping statement as Rensselaer county had every stat plastered all over the internet along with daily informational press releases. One member of the public asked what the county was doing to find the source of PFOA in the Town of Poestenkill. After a lengthy description of the wells that had been tested, the results that were being waited on, and the
methodical approach that DOH and DEC were taking on this issue, it was pretty clear that it is being handled in the best possible fashion. All the candidates on the democratic ticket including Ms. Right were given the opportunity for rebuttal and the room was met with... total silence. It appears that even they think the current county government is doing a top notch job on this issue. All in all, this night was a clear win for republicans. Steve Valente, Averill Park
Fact-checking Eric Wholleber FACT No. 1 is that the political theater called a “Community Meeting” in Poestenkill on 27 September 2021, a farce now known as the “Eric and Judy Show,” or “Wholleber’s Whitewash,” was a “community meeting” only in the old Soviet Union sense of the term, where the subjects, us in the case, were herded into an auditorium, there to sit at attention and be properly subservient while the Party Leaders informed them of the Rules of the Day and what to think and not think, and who to listen to, in this case Eric Wholleber, Judy Enck, Bob Brunet and the two nice suits with nice haircuts from the State of New York, and who not to listen to, which in this case would be Paul Plante. Such a farce might fly elsewhere, but Poestenkill is a community of veterans who fought to be a free people, not subjects, and so, it does not fly here, and thankfully, we older people in this town who do not have computer access or cell phones or FACEBOOK or TWITTER or ZOOM have the Advertiser or we would be totally shut out of the discussions on PFOA in our groundwater. If it was a real community meeting, we would have been able to ask Eric Wholleber exactly when it was that he no longer trusted DEC (destroyer of the environment and communities), because he had absolutely no trouble whatsoever trusting them on 6 December 2017 when I sent to him a writing entitled RE: PDD/Transfer station Records; The DEC Finagle; The next Hoosick Falls. We would have been able to ask Water Manager Bob Brunet why he was offering to sell water outside the water district as if this were North Greenbush and the water supply in Poestenkill were his private toy. We would have been able to ask County Associate Public Health Engineer Rich Elder why he was quoted in the Times Union saying he was not looking for the source of the PFOA, while asking the nice suit and haircut from DEC if their burying $312,500 worth of environmental crimes at the Poestenkill transfer station had any affect on that decision.

OPINION
The New Missile Gap By Rich Lowry
The Biden administration is hesitant to call our competition with China a new Cold War, even though Beijing has zero qualms about making the parallels with our decades-long struggle with the Soviet Union abundantly clear. We are once again discussing a "Sputnik moment," a nuclear arms race, and a missile gap -- all throwbacks to the 1950s-1980s -- thanks to China's aggressive pursuit of military capabilities designed to deter and defeat the United States. Whatever Beijing may say and however we may try to comfort ourselves with cushioning delusions, the Chinese have repeatedly made it plain that they intend to hold U.S. bases and our homeland at risk. The example of Sputnik, the primitive Soviet satellite launched in 1957 that raised the prospect of the U.S. losing the space race, was on everyone's lips with a bombshell Financial Times report over the weekend. According to the FT, the Chinese tested a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile that circled the Earth once before descending on its target, thus demonstrating "an advanced space capability that caught U.S. intelligence by surprise." It's not clear why anyone would be shocked. It wasn't a secret that China and Russia were developing these technologies, and indeed, it wasn't a secret that China had leapt ahead of us. (The Chinese, bringing the same transparency they've shown regarding the origins of COVID-19, say it was just a routine space launch.) Hypersonic missiles bring a new element to the ever-evolving competition between missile offense and defense. As former state department official Christian Brose notes in his book "The Kill Chain," ballistic missiles travel fast but in a predictable parabolic path. Cruise missiles, on the other hand, travel relatively slowly but are maneuverable and therefore unpredictable. Hypersonic missiles are both unpredictable and fast -- six times faster than a Tomahawk missile. That means they are uniquely suited to defeat our missile defenses. Not only can't we counter them, we can't track them adequately at the moment.
Over the summer, the head of North American Aerospace Defense Command -- yes, that's NORAD of Cold War fame -- said that the new missiles would pose "significant challenges to my NORAD capability to provide threat warning and attack assessment." The FT reports that the test missile missed its target by roughly two dozen miles. That's a significant miss but wouldn't necessarily be that much comfort if the missile were carrying a nuclear payload. And the targeting will presumably be improved -- that's one reason to carry out the test in the first place. An MIT professor told the FT that just because China tested the capability doesn't mean that it will deploy it. But the history of expansionistic totalitarian states forbearing from fielding advanced weapons after pouring significant time and resources into developing them is not, to say the least, very encouraging. It'd be best if we abandon all wishful thinking and admit the obvious. We've had a zombie arms control policy focused on deals with Russia, while China has been aggressively adding new weapons and delivery systems. We've allowed China to rob our technology and pour it into developing threats against us. We've been much too slow in developing the next generation of weapons, including hypersonic missiles, and are modernizing our nuclear triad at a glacial pace while China is rapidly adding new capabilities. The response to the new circumstances should reflect a Cold War-era urgency. The Biden administration has proposed more spending on hypersonic missiles, but the latest news should mean even more of an emphasis on their rapid deployment, so we can hold at risk Chinese assets and maintain our deterrence. We should, with an eye to the growing Chinese missile threat, deploy missile-defense interceptors in Australia and more sensors in space, as well as work toward directed-energy weapons that would be the best counter to hypersonic missiles. If we aren't going to call it a new Cold War, we must -- or risk falling further behind -- treat it as one. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.
Mom Distortions By Bob Franken
Moms for Liberty -- an ultraconservative group that identifies with parental rights in schools -- started in Florida, but they've settled in Virginia right now because Virginia is the most important game in town politically -- in fact, in the whole country. Their name and cause are a teeny bit bogus. I mean, is there an organization called Moms AGAINST Liberty? And does anyone oppose parents' rights in schools? The questions are how far do our liberties go and parents' rights to do what. Are our liberties absolute? Of course not. Should they extend to questions of public health? Of course not. So when it comes to the right of government to establish rules about face masks and vaccines, aren't those who disrupt meetings of local boards of education just making the board members' jobs harder, just like when they shout over advocates of a particular progressive curriculum? Of course. But that's going on around the country, and, in Virginia, it's coming most potently from Glenn Youngkin, who is a candidate for governor and a surrogate for Donald Trump. Youngkin has done everything he can to hide the connection, but it's there to see. Youngkin is a Republican, the party taken over by Trump, and the GOP no longer cherishes truth any more than Trump does. So Glenn Youngkin, like his mentor, has hidden his real agenda, which is to be a stand-in for the Trumpster. From his first TV ad onward, his Democratic opponent, former Gov. Terry McAuliffe, has tried to KO Youngkin with Trump. Meanwhile, Youngkin has attempted to bob and weave with parents. In the meantime, the Democrats are pursuing their usual agenda, which is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. You would think that winning would be a cakewalk for McAuliffe by associating Youngkin with a discredited Trump and his "Big Lie" -- that he had the election stolen from him by Joe Biden. But McAuliffe and his fellow Democrats ran a tired campaign, and only now, when it might be too late, are they realizing it. So Virginia will be the stomping grounds for any Dem heavyweights like Barack Obama, and even the lightweights, as they try to rescue the commonwealth (state) from Donald Trump lite. In the process, they might rescue the country from Trump the heavy. Virginia has an odd election year. It amounts to a midyear midyear. It also means that it takes on an inordinate significance. So if Youngkin wins the election and pulls off an upset -- and it's trending that way, which calls into question whether it would be an "upset" at all -- then Trump will claim all the credit. And we will see all the craziness return. If Youngkin loses the election, the camouflage will be that he's a dilettante, not a Republican, as opposed to just some regular guy with a potent jump shot. Did I mention that his first TV commercials emphasized that he played college basketball, and now he's become fabulously wealthy through mergers and acquisitions where companies would be turned from service industries into items on a financial ledger sheet? A Youngkin win would return Virginia to its darkest traditions of racial segregation and ultraconservatism in the guise of parents' rights in schools. Speaking of darkest, the financing for Moms for Liberty is coming from some dark sources: super-rich people who don't really care whether we lose our liberties as we slide into an autocracy and welcome a return to a Donald Trump presidency or one of his acolytes. They believe no distortion is too simple-minded, no shot too cheap (as opposed to Youngkin's jump shot) nor any lie too shameless. We will continue the unraveling that Trump needed more than four years to complete. Politics and political reporting are hyperbole. But the stakes of Virginia's election are no exaggeration. It may have been the site of the first settlement in our country, but it may be where the nation's traditions of liberty become irrevocably unsettled.
