Tips for driving in the snow:
WINTER DRIVING TIPS AAA recommends the following: • Never warm up a vehicle in an enclosed area, like a garage. • Make certain your tires are properly inflated. • Keep your gas tank at least half full to avoid gas line free-up. • If possible, avoid using your parking brake in cold, rainy and snowy weather. • Do not use cruise control when driving on any slippery surface (wet, ice, sand). • Use your seat belt every time you get into your vehicle.
6
JANUARY 2011
Accelerate and decelerate slowly. Appling the gas slowly to accelerate is the best method for retraining traction and avoiding skids. Don't try to get moving in a hurry. And take time to slow down for a stoplight. Remember: It takes longer to slow down on icy roads. • Drive slowly. Everything takes longer on snowcovered roads. Accelerating, stopping, and turning - nothing happens as quickly as on dry pavement. • The normal dry pavement following distance of two to three seconds should be increased to eight to ten seconds.

• Know your brakes. Whether you have antilock brakes or not, the best way to stop is threshold breaking. Keep the heel of your foot on the floor and use the ball of your foot to apply firm, steady pressure on the brake pedal.

• Don't stop if you can avoid it. There's a big difference in the amount of inertia it takes to start moving from a full stop versus how much it takes to get moving while still rolling. If you can slow down enough to keep rolling until the light changes, do it.

• Don't power up hills. Applying extra gas on snowcovered roads just starts your wheels spinning. Try to get a little inertia going before you reach the hill and let that inertia carry you to the top. As you reach the crest of the hill, reduce your speed and proceed down hill as slowly as possible. • Don't stop going up a hill. There's nothing worse than trying to get moving up a hill on an icy road. • Stay home. If you really don't have to go out, don't. Even if you can drive well in the snow, not everyone else can. Don't tempt fate. 7

Basement Remodeling 8 Easy Steps to Creating a Functional Basement Most basements are dark, gloomy, and simply serve as a storage area for old toys, clothes, seasonal items, and anything else that is not used on a regular basis. Most of us rarely go down into the basement unless it is to unload more clutter that we don't want or need. But, why not turn this gloomy storage room into something functional and useful? Remodeling your basement is a cost-effective way to significantly increase your home's living space. Suddenly you could have a nice, cozy guest room, a playroom for your children, a home office, a game room; the possibilities are endless!
poor lighting? Consider setting up a dark room or a home theater. Is your basement lonely and isolated? The isolation helps provide a nice sound cushion for noisy activities such as a teenager hangout, a game room, or a place for your kids to practice their musical instruments to their hearts content. Use your imagination and come up with something that will benefit your family’s lifestyle.
2. Decide What You Want to Use Your Basement For This is where you can turn lemons into lemonade. Your Basement has 10 JANUARY 2011
To be on the safe side, install a carbon monoxide detector in your basement so that you'll have an early warning of any problems with the venting of the furnace or any other major appliances. 5. Make the Most of Your Basement's Natural Light Depending on what you are using your basement for, you may wish to add more natural lighting. This can be done by enlarging your basement’s windows. Another benefit of larger windows is that they provide additional escape routes in case of fire.
Below are eight simple steps to a brand new basement. 1. Repair any Basement Water Problems First Even if your basement hardly ever has issues with flooding or dampness, it's best to take care of the problem completely before beginning any remodeling efforts. Permanent solutions can take time to put into operation. A smart place to begin is to get in touch with a home inspector who specializes in waterproofing problems.
When your home was originally built, chances are that there were very few if any registers or vents installed in the basement. When you remodel your basement, you need to think about the need for good air circulation, adding openings where necessary.
3. Consider Professional Advice with Your Basement Design Even though your basement might not be much to look at now, you'll want to end up with quality living space when the project is finished. An interior designer or architect can help you get the most out of the space. A little forethought and careful planning now can help you design a space that is attractive, comfortable and practical. 4. Consider the Air Circulation Something important to consider is the air circulation of your basement.
Some may be concerned that by having basement windows that is providing easier access into the home by thieves. One way to lessen that risk is to install glass bricks instead of conventional windows at any location that is highrisk. Take full advantage of the effect of regular windows by mounting some windows in the interior walls between rooms that open pathways for natural light to reach interior rooms. Article City

Monica Wilson-Roach|Jazz Cellist She’s got the warmest smile and eyes that are pretty and kind. Talking to Monica Wilson Roach for an hour or so, I felt like I’d known her for a long time. She has that way about her. We talked and drank tea, laughed about kids and the funny things they say, and touched on each of a few major accomplishments in her life. Walking to my car after we met, I went over the conversation. There were the years spent teaching at Julliard. Playing with the Transiberian Orchestra. The move from New York City to Albany. Having two children. Her passion for cello and the bass. And her desire to pass on this passion to kids who cannot afford the music, the instrument or the lessons. There is also TuttiCelli, the summertime cello choir she started. All of it, every word, is told with joy and sureness. Starting at the beginning, Monica came from creative parents; a painter mom and a dad with a beautiful singing voice. The talent and creative outlet manifested itself in her as a life-long passion for jazz, classical music and stringed instruments.
“ If I could do educational outreach in New York City, why not in my own backyard? I grew up here.” She spent years employed at the Julliard school in New York. There she worked in a musical outreach program, teaching kids who were very musically talented but couldn’t afford lessons. Monica loved the studio. Loved the students and the work involved. But then, she decided to leave her beloved job. She and her husband left the city, heading to SUNY Albany. He was going back to school. Once here, she looked around and wondered what she’d do. And then it struck her, “ If I could do educational outreach in New York, why not in my own backyard? I grew up here.” Call it luck. Call it being in the right place at the right time, or call it destiny. She approached the Empire State Youth Orchestra (ESYO) just as the person who taught with their outreach program was leaving. An alumni of the ESYO, it felt like exactly the right thing to do. Called the City Strings Training Program, she’s been with them for ten years now. The music teachers in four Albanyarea schools recommend students to her. She travels to each school, and gives one-on-one lessons. Often, her students are the lead in their orchestral section. The music, the instruments and the lessons are all free to kids who otherwise couldn’t afford it. The program currently runs at Hackett Middle School in Albany and across the three middle schools in the Schenectady school district. 12 JANUARY 2011
While the program has changed and grown since Monica has been there, going from teaching at one elementary school in Albany to the four middle schools now, she’d like to see it grow even more. She looks at each kid as an individual and one who can achieve so much. “There are so many talented kids. They just need a leg up,” she says of her students. There is one success in particular, one story that teachers like Monica are always excited to tell. One alumnus of the program went through all the different musical groups and orchestras in Albany, played at Carnegie Hall, Tanglewood and the Melodies of Christmas show. Nathan Kipness was the first African American valedictorian at Schenectady High School and went on to MIT. He’s in his first semester there. Monica keeps in touch with him and they are planning on getting together with her other students to perform in cello quartets while he’s on break. “It’s a great success story. Other kids have done well and followed in a lot of different ways. Being in the City Strings Program and playing their instruments helps to keep them focused.” Monica is a classically trained cellist who has played in many orchestras. She’s traveled throughout the United States and overseas. The list of venues is long and varied. For seven years, Monica was the featured cello soloist for the Transiberian Orchestra when the group played in Albany. She’s played in many classical companies, as well as performing her other love, jazz. When Monica was in her twenties, she started to focus on the cello in a jazz capacity. This exploration led to a 1996 release of her first CD, titled “24 Hours”. This project brought together musicians from all over: Atlanta, Paris and local musicians as well. The recording process was a year-long learning experience and a catalyst to move forward as a musician. In New York, Monica had the opportunity to work in the orchestra of Broadway musicals. She told me about working on the musical Footloose. While exciting, this was stressful work: projecting her instrument perfectly, playing accurately and always alert, for weeks and weeks at a time. Now, she still gets to work for a musical now and then, locally. The big difference is that she is surrounded by friends in the orchestra, people who have known each other for a long time. There is familiarity and fun. These shows tend to last for only a week or so, then it’s time to move on.

New York winters can be brutal. Make this year easier for everyone by choosing Atria Senior Living. Your parent will be safe, warm and have a full social calendar to keep them busy. We’ll also handle the driving, getting them anywhere from the doctors’ appointments they can’t miss to the entertainment venues they love.
To see how Atria can help your family this winter, visit www.atriaalbany.com today and find the community closest to you. The biggest project of her life is family. She is mother to two Bethlehem Elementary students, a son and a daughter. It’s the school plays, classroom visits and time with her kids that she loves the most. Even so, Monica finds the balance between being a mother and a working musician a struggle. She doesn’t travel much to play music anymore, because her choice is to be around for all those school events and the quiet moments with her kids after school. “It’s a joyous choice though, my crowning glory,” she says, with another of those very sure smiles. A big piece of her personal and professional life is her husband, Michael. They just celebrated twelve years of a creative and happy union. Michael and Monica play in a jazz trio together, Ten27. Sweetly, it’s named after the month and day of their engagement. The couple’s strengths and skill sets are completely different, yet complement and complete each other. He’s the contemporary player, she’s the classical. “It’s like I’ve got my peanut butter in your chocolate and you’ve got your chocolate in my peanut butter. We’re good on our own, but put us together and there’s music that’s a totally different dimension.” Ten27 takes the traditional jazz trio and shakes it up a bit. Monica switches between the bass and electric cello, while Michael plays the keyboard. Paul Borrello complements the two with his drums. Their biggest undertaking yet was the Black Book Project. Named for the meticulous notes Monica kept while researching another one of her passions, cosmology. In this multimedia piece, they use photos of space taken from the Hubble Telescope. Monica wrote and narrated the entire movie. They created all new compositions to go with the pictures,
and she meticulously details each picture and explains to the viewer exactly what they are seeing. She felt that combining the beautiful, intense photos with Ten27’s music and her narration, it would be less overwhelming for people. They’d understand what they were seeing, and feel good about it, too. The movie has aired in a few local museums and theaters, and they are working on finding more venues. Looking ahead, there is a soundtrack for a documentary. She’s always trying to find something new and different to do. Most likely, the new and different thing will be done with her husband. “We do work apart. But our most meaningful and important work is done together,” she says. Counting school visits and her children’s concerts and events among the most important things in her life, she feels blessed to have the best of both worlds. There are so many different paths in Monica’s life. Teaching. Giving to students. Mothering. Exploring jazz, classical and beyond. Being part of a musical trio and a lifelong duo. All of these things, every one, is met with the same passion, intensity and love.

WHY SHOULD I QUIT SMOKING?
Every person who smokes has reasons to keep smoking and reasons to Quit? WHAT ARE YOURS? Tobacco use is the leading cause of death for men and women Did you know more women die from lung cancer than breast cancer? Smoking increases the risk of heart disease, cancer & lung disease How will your health impact the lives of your loved ones? Breathing in others smoke (second hand smoke) can cause asthma and other health problems. How does smoking affect your loved ones? Smokers who quit can expect to live approximately 10 years longer than those who continue to smoke. What would you do with 10 more years? If you smoke one pack per day, quitting smoking could save you up to $270 a month. How could you spend the money saved?
Are you ready to Quit? Most smokers find it takes a few quit attempts to be successful – you can do it. The chance of success is higher if you take a combination of approaches including setting a quit date, getting support and taking medication.
Get Ready Get Help + Get Medication = Stay Quit! Get Ready Set a quit date and stick to it. Post it on your refrigerator, put it in your calendar. Before the date, change the environment and things around you. For example, get rid of all the cigarettes and ashtrays in your home, car, and place of work. Stop letting people smoke in your home. Change your routines to help break the smoking habit. Get Help Tell your family, friends, and co-workers with that you are going to quit and ask them for their support. Talk with your doctor because they can help you quit. Call the New York State Smokers Quit Line: 1-866-NY-QUITS (1-866-697-8487) Get Medication Nicotine gum, the nicotine patch, and the nicotine lozenge can be purchased at a pharmacy. There are other prescription medicines that can also help such as nicotine nasal spray or inhaler, bupropion SR (tablet) or varenicline (tablet). Many health insurance plans will pay for these medications. Talk to your doctor and pharmacist about what product might be best for you. Stay Quit If you “slip” and smoke, don’t give up. Try again soon. Set a new quit date to get back on track. Avoid things that might trigger your smoking such as alcohol and being around smoking, certain foods or habits. Eating healthy, drinking lots of water and engaging in some physical activity can help fight cravings.

Most of us start the New Year making all kinds of resolutions about how we will do better at one thing or another. The promises usually include some kind of exercise regime or weight loss program. These are certainly worthy efforts, but how about simply committing to a good nights sleep? Far too many of us struggle with some form of insomnia, a disorder characterized by difficulty falling and/or staying asleep. Insomnia can show as one or more of the following symptoms: difficulty falling asleep, waking up often during the night and having trouble going back to sleep, waking up too early in the morning, and feeling tired upon waking. The reasons for lack of sleep can vary and can be directly or indirectly related to other health concerns. Acute insomnia can be short lived and directly attributed to something going on in the present. Some type of stress, emotional or physical discomfort, environmental factors, medications or other breaks in routine can cause a sudden lack of sleep. When a sleep disorder is acute, it will most likely resolve itself when the issues at hand resolve. For example, a loved one is having surgery which concerns you and is keeping you awake at night. Once the surgery is completed and your worries have calmed, you will most likely return to a more normal sleep pattern. Chronic insomnia lasts over a longer period of time and may result from a more significant health

concern like depression, anxiety, chronic stress or pain. Consult your doctor if you think you may suffer from a chronic lack of sleep. A long-term lack of sleep can lead to other serious health concerns if not addressed. In general, there are some measures a person can take to improve ones quality of sleep: *Try to keep a regular routine, going to sleep each night and waking each morning around the same time. Naps during the day should be avoided if possible. * Avoid caffeine, nicotine and alcohol late in the day. Caffeine and nicotine are stimulants which can prevent you from falling asleep. Alcohol can cause waking in the night and interferes with sleep quality. *Get regular exercise but not right before bedtime. Exercising the body and the brain help to improve sleep but, try to avoid strenuous exercise 3-4 hours prior to bedtime. *Don’t eat a heavy meal late in the evening. A light snack prior to bedtime, however, might help you sleep better. *Make your bedroom surroundings comfortable and conducive to sleep. If light is an issue, wear a mask. If noise is a problem try ear plugs or something else to “cover” the sounds, like music or a fan. Our bodies need a good nights sleep to function properly and to maintain health. Good sleep habits improve overall quality of life and give us more energy to complete our skills of daily living. Make a resolution to get better sleep by either seeing your doctor or taking steps to improve sleep quality. It’s a resolution worth keeping. Happy New Year!

CAR CARE TIPS Winter Car Care
As the weather turns colder, it is time to think about your car for a second. A little preparation can go a long way to making your winter travels a lot safer. Here is a checklist to get you started. 1. Check the antifreeze. The freezing point can be checked with a simple tool available at any auto parts store. Make sure you check the antifreeze when it’s cool. Opening a hot radiator can be a dangerous thing. 2. Check the air pressure in your tires. As the air gets cooler pressure drops in your tires. Maintaining your tire pressures will reward you with higher gas mileage and longer tire life. 3. Make sure you have the following items in your car. Ice Scraper Salt or sand for traction Blanket in case you are stranded Good first aid kit (not just for winter) Road flares 4. Check all belts and hoses. As the temperature drops rubber tends to stiffen and break allot easier. Make sure all your rubber hoses and belts are in tiptop shape. 5. Treat your gas tank to a can of gas line antifreeze before the cold weather strikes. The additive will remove any water in the system and prevent your fuel lines from freezing. 6. Check your tires for wear. Make sure you have plenty of tread left to get you through the snow. Nothing is worse than 3” of snow and bald tires.

A letter from Bethlehem Town Hall By the time you read this column I will have presented the State of the Town message at Town Hall and will present it again on Thursday, January 20th at the Cedar Hill Schoolhouse (Bethlehem Historical Association Museum) at 1003 River Road, Selkirk (corner of Clapper Road and Route 144/ River Road). You are most welcome. Also, the presentation is posted on Bethlehem’s Website at http:// www.townofbethlehem.org/pages/news/showNews.asp. I’ll offer the condensed version of the State of the Town here and also invite you to stop in or call me anytime. Looking back to January, 2010 and my first year as Supervisor, we have come a long way. I say “we” because my role as supervisor has been, and will continue to be, to work with my colleagues on the Town Board, department heads, other staff, chairs and members of boards, volunteers and the public to help guide Bethlehem now and into the future. A year ago I told you that “if we get the Process of government right, results and achievement for the good of the community will follow.” From my perspective, we got the Process right!
2010 was a year marked by accomplishments, sometimes beyond my expectations. THE PROCESS OF GOVERNMENT: • Department heads, deputies and staff have demonstrated their professionalism and dedication to this community. We have been successful because Town staff and the Boards have done their jobs well! • The Town Board; Councilwoman Dawson, and Councilmen Hennessey, Jordan and Kotary and I have come together as a team on budget, legislative and policy initiatives. • Other elected officials in town government: Highway Superintendent Sagendorph, Receiver of Taxes Mendick, and Town Clerk Moquin have contributed much to the success of 2010 by their professional and dedicated work. • And, I cannot forget the fine people of our Town who have volunteered in so many ways to make Bethlehem great, as well as those that attend Town Board meetings, raise issues, call or write. Such help and input is valuable and results in better decisions and services.
THE SUBSTANCE OF GOVERNMENT We set forth a plan to achieve results for fiscal responsibility, quality-of-life and excellence in government. Below are items that are representative of our achievements. • Unifying the water system and maximizing the Clapper Road Water Treatment Plant saved $1.3 Million annually, provided a new source of excellent drinking water, sent a strong pro-business message, reduced future dependency on Albany water and increased Bethlehem’s independence. (This was also the most politically courageous decision I have seen in my 35-five years in Town.)
• Our 2011 Budget is a balanced and progressive guide for Bethlehem: nearly zero tax levy increase (6 cents on $100,000 of assessed value, or 16 cents per year on the average home of $267,000); cut permanent costs by $1.3 Million; incorporated new revenue of $227,000; avoided water supply costs of $1.6 Million; maintained 15% or more in fund balances; 1% Cost-of-Living (COLA) for non-unionized employees. • $1.4 Million invested in capital equipment, pavement and replacement police vehicles. • Reached out to the Community with Town Government Meetings Around Town, and Town Government and Chamber of Commerce Focus on Business Forums. • Energy Conservation grants of $291,000 awarded for green initiatives: photovoltaic panels for the Elm Avenue Park administrative building, and a staff person to provide energy efficiency analysis for Bethlehem. • Recaptured $529,000 from Federal Emergency Management Office (FEMO) for costs for the December 2008 storm and, $135,000 resulting from an audit of the Time Warner cable franchise fees. • The PaTHs 4 Bethlehem and Delaware Avenue Corridor Hamlet Enhancement Studies were completed and implementation can now proceed. • Taxpaying economic development projects approved at Kendall Square, Blessings Corners, The Eddy at Beverwyck, Phillipinkill and The Gables at Verstandigs. In addition, the streetscapes and storefronts at Glenmont Plaza and Town Squire Plaza have been significantly upgraded and occupancy is nearly full. • Project approvals resulted in protection of over 80 acres of open space. • New sidewalks have been constructed on Feura Bush Road and Orchard Street. • Town Board agenda attachments are now available to the public on line. • Posting of paid and volunteer positions are placed on the Town’s website. • Advocated for: keeping Thatcher Park open; no New Scotland “Big Box” development, and; a progressive Albany County Economic Development Program. 24 JANUARY 2011
THE FUTURE It is because of what we have done together in 2010 that we can all be encouraged and enthusiastic about the potential of what we can, and, I believe will do in the future. Three quotes that I have read lately seem to me to ring true: “New York State’s fiscal plight requires new ways of thinking.” … “Elected leaders must make politically challenging and difficult decisions.”, and … “If the work force doesn’t feel valued, nothing else will change.” These thoughts will be on my mind as we take on 2011 (Next month’s OUR TOWNE Bethlehem will have more detail, but I’ll give you a preview of our direction).
Stick to My Principles: With the Support of the Town Board, our staff and all partners, I will remain committed to key principles: ~ Team Approach; Openness; Participation, and; Building Capacity ~ Sustainability in Bethlehem: Excellence in Government; Fiscal Responsibility, and; Quality-of-Life
The Plans for 2011: Drive Forward With 20/20 Advisory Implementation Committee Recommendations to Consider: ~ Modernization, Economy, Efficiency and Effectiveness in Bethlehem Consider reorganization and unification of the Public Works and Highway Department Strengthen the Town’s Financial and Administrative Management Consider Changes in Terms for Elected and Appointed Officials ~Economic Development Implement a Town-wide Economic Development Strategy and Partnership Vista Technology Campus Selkirk Rail Yard Area Continue Focus on town Retail Creative Financing to Support Greenspace Initiatives ~Intergovernmental Cooperation Intergovernmental Agreements and Sharing With Other Governments, School Districts, Fire Departments and the Library Closer Working Relationship with Fire Services and Emergency Management Services Take Action to Accomplish Recommendation in the Major Planning and Development Recommendations Provided to the Town Board on December 22, 2010: Our Advisory committees and Planning staff have delivered excellent recommendations to us and many are ready for action. Next month I’ll detail these exciting initiatives. Develop and Implement Department Work Plans To Accomplish Other Initiatives: Work Plans will be driven by projects identified as essential by Department Heads and be defined by Leadership; Purpose; Action; Timetable, and; Desired Outcomes. Other initiatives that I believe should be considered in 2011 include: • Town Board discussion and support of a 4- year Capital Program • Action to reduce the use of fund balances in 2011 • Work with Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy and Albany County to open up 1.8 miles of the Proposed Rail Trail from Veterans Park on Delaware Avenue to Fireman’s Park on New Scotland Road • Expand the Veteran’s Park on Delaware Avenue to both sides of the rail trail • Achieve agreement with Verizon to offer FIOS video services in Bethlehem • Begin an innovative program with NYSERDA, RPI and DOT on cost-effective illumination at the Slingerlands Route 85 roundabout • Begin work on a property valuation assessment to be effective in 2013 • Establish a tobacco-free environment on all Town athletic fields and playgrounds • Evaluate Town Board Rules of Procedure and an Expanded Ethics Law • Expansion of citizen involvement in Town activities and awareness • Identify special needs in our community • Assist families and individuals with challenging financial situations • Evaluate other initiatives proposed by my Town Board colleagues As a Town Board member and now as your Supervisor, I have always believed that by working together we can make a positive difference in Bethlehem. I look forward to the challenges of 2011 and working with you to make Bethlehem an even better place to live and work! I wish everyone a very Happy New Year. Sincerely,
Sam Messina Sam Messina 25
Postcards :
The Best Kept Marketing Secret by: Janice Jenkins
Modern marketing is not all about the Internet, emails, social media, and other high-end marketing techniques. Despite the popularity of web based marketing methods, many business owners still prefer the cost effective, easy to produce, paper based marketing tools that are not too wrapped up in today’s high tech fad like OUR TOWNE Bethlehem. If you are among these business owners, then the old fashioned postcard is a great option for you. These cards pull a powerful marketing ad that can bring many small business to success. But how does postcard printing differ from other marketing tools? There are a few answers to that:
Postcards are easy to read. Because they do not need an envelope, people can easily read them at a glance. Despite being buried under numerous bills and letters, an attractive post card will easy catch attention. People understand your message instantly. Compared to emails,
postcards are not pushy. People can read postcards anytime they want.
Postcards have less competition. With many businesses going for modern marketing, a postcard will distinguish you from the rest of your competition. We’ll create an exceptionally creative postcard and you can effectively stand out in the crowd.
Postcards can be created in any design, size, color, or image. You basically every chance to design your postcard in any way you want it to be. Your imagination is your limit. Postcards are timely. If you have an upcoming sale or event, you can let your customers know about it through postcards. You can consider placing a discount coupon at the back to encourage your customers to take part in your upcoming event. Postcards are two sided. Unlike emails, post cards can be printed on two sides. On one side print your message and contact details and use the other side for a special or incentive. Postcards are multifaceted. A postcard printing can serve a lot of purpose. Aside from being used as a marketing material, it can also serve as a gift certificate, event ticket, or coupon. This will allow you to measure the effectiveness of your postcard campaign.
Postcards are customer insurance. Keeping in touch with your data base is one of the most effective ways to build customer loyalty. You can also target specific nieghborhoods to drive business. So, never underestimate the marketing power of these simple cards.

Ask the
Canterbury Vet Q: The weather has really gotten cold! How can I keep my dogs and cats safe this winter? Brrrr‌it’s cold outside! The following guidelines will help you protect your pets when the mercury drops. 1. Keep pets away from antifreeze solution, and promptly clean up any antifreeze spills. Antifreeze is attractive to pets but is deadly, even in very small amounts.
JOHN FRITZE JR, JEWELER Delmar, NY Continuously paying the highest prices for gold in the capital district.
2. Do not leave your pets outdoors unattended when the temperature gets below freezing. Pets that get too chilled can develop hypothermia or even frostbite. Ear tips are especially susceptible to frostbite. 3. Short-coated dogs (Greyhounds, Dobermans, Boxers and Boston Terriers) should not go outside without a coat or sweater in very cold weather, except to relieve themselves. Small dogs with short coats (Chihuahuas, miniature Pinschers, and miniature Dachshunds) are especially vulnerable to cold and may not be able to tolerate any outdoor exercise in extremely cold weather.

If your dog frequently lifts up his paws, whines or stops during its walks, it is demonstrating that its feet are uncomfortably cold. Try to get your dog used to wearing boots before the cold weather sets in. 5. Dogs with long fur on the bottom of their paws often develop ice balls between the pads and toes of the feet. To prevent ice balls from forming, trim the hair around your dog’s feet. Apply a small amount of Vaseline, cooking oil, or PAM spray to your dog’s feet before taking him for a walk in snow or use Musher’s brand paw wax. The oil helps prevent ice balls from sticking. Make sure you use edible oil; most dogs will lick their paws after you apply the oil. 6. If your pet walks on salted sidewalks or streets, be sure to wash his paws after your walk. Salt is very irritating to footpads. Gently rub the bottom of the feet to remove the salt as soon as your dog is off the road. Use pet friendly ice melt on your own walks and driveway. 7. Many animals are less active during the winter and don’t need as many calories as in the warmer months. Reduce the volume of your pet’s diet during the winter, to avoid excessive

weight gain. You may wish to consult with your veterinarian about the right winter food portions for your pet. 8. Never leave your dog or cat alone in a car during cold weather. A car can act as a refrigerator in the winter, holding in the cold and causing the animal to freeze to death. 9. Most cats prefer to spend their winter days indoors; be cautious if your cat likes being outside. Don’t let it out in bitterly cold weather and be sure it has a warm place to go if it does spend a lot of time outdoors. Cats that are left outdoors may crawl into a warm car engine to get warm, which can kill them. It’s much safer to keep your cat indoors during the winter.

Health Matters
Do you subject your body to a constant cacophony of sensory overload and stress?
When was the last time you wrapped your arms around yourself and gave yourself a big smushy orking with clients, I often hear “I hate my hug? When you patted your tummy and felt its body,” or “If I could just cut this (grabbling part of softness happily, instead of hating it for not being a their bodies) off I'd be happy”. It's alarming and hardened washboard? (Seriously, when the (heck) sad to hear the self-loathing some of us inflict did “washboard abs” become a goal that otherwise upon ourselves. This topic was so well-addressed reasonable and intelligent women pursued? by fitness writer Krista Scott-Dixon, PhD (www. Evolution is laughing in your face, ladies. Suggest stumptuous.com) that I've decided to share it revising goal to “squatter’s butt”.) here. Why, in short, should your body perform for you? "...although you probably deserve your body’s Have you earned that performance? Really? hatred, it doesn’t (hate you). Because that’s the thing about your body. It loves you like the best If you can read this list and — in good faith — mother bear in the world loves her Gerber baby say “Hey, I’ve done a darn fine job, and I still don’t cub — with a fierce, visceral, snarling love that will feel well,” then you are indeed entitled to be a bit grumpy about the state of affairs. do anything to protect you.
W
If you’re mad because you’re over-fat, feeling cruddy, out of shape, riddled with aches and pains, etc. etc. you should start by taking a good, hard, honest look at how you’ve treated that ever-patient container of yours.
This isn’t about blame, of course. Most of you are also pros at self-blame (which is often part of the problem in the first place). It’s about taking responsibility and accepting the inevitability of change.
When was the last time you wrapped your arms around yourself and gave yourself a big smushy hug?
Maybe there are factors within your control that shaped the outcome. Maybe not. (Stuff) happens, after all. But was it really random?
What have you fed (or not fed) your body? How do you rest your body? How long do you sleep every night, and how well? How do you still your mind and give it serenity?
...But blame is useless. It’s a narcissistic exercise. If self-flagellation were helpful in achieving life goals and meaning, wouldn’t nearly everyone be perfect? Blame immobilizes us in a snake-bitingtail cycle of helplessness and shame.
How do you move your body? Do you move it at all, or jam it into a chair or car for several hours?
Responsibility, on the other hand, is extremely useful. Responsibility is about responding — moment to moment, dynamically, as the terrain of life shifts. It’s response-ability. It’s action-oriented. What bag of (crap) has life just handed you, and how can you make it stink less?
Do you let your body out to play in its natural environment? Do you see sunlight or greenery, or breathe fresh air, or feel the change in temperature every day? How well do you match your schedule with the cycle of the sun?
The best you can do is make the choices that give you the most options. Poor choices limit my options. Good choices expand my options. Then I am prepared to face change in the best way possible.”
Do you say nice things to your body? Do you highfive it when it comes through for you? Do you high-five it just for existing and being a marvellous triumph of engineering?

2011…a New Year with endless opportunities and possibilities outstretched before us…may this year be one of good health, good fortune, happiness and wonderful reading experiences! As many make resolutions for the New Year, many difficult to keep, my wish is that you are able to find some time in your busy life to find time for the printed word, non-electronic printed books. There are those of us out there, including myself, who love technology but favor the printed page of a book. That tactile experience of holding the book, placing the bookmark, sensing the page, even putting on the “cheaters” connects us to the author, the time, place and sense of the story. I learned to read when I was 3…taught myself…listening and following those wonderful Disney records & books…until one day I was reading aloud without the record. I was reading to my little sister, Kathy when my Dad noticed. I remember that day as if it was yesterday. I became aware that it was an accomplishment that pleased my parents. I have always found reading to be a joy! I wish that for you and the children in your life! Here at Tattered Pages Used Books, I spend my day in the company of approximately 18,000 books. As I walk the stacks, through the genres…I often reflect upon the customers whom I have helped over the years. I recall the “action/adventure” readers who have read everything by Lee Child or Clive Cussler and are seeking out another similar author. I remember the first time that I asked a certain WWII Veteran who was searching through the Ken Follett books and trying to recall a title of a favorite book from long ago if these authors got the WWII experience right. He said that many of them captured the essence and the experience. His preferred authors: Ken Follett, Frederick Forsyth and Len Deighton. Another regular told me upon my asking if he was ex-military, due to his reading selections, told me he would tell me but then he would have to kill me! This lovely gentlemen has made his way through Lee Child, Jack Higgins, John Sandford, Stuart Woods, and is now into W.E.B. Griffin’s Corps series. When working in the mystery section, I think about the authors that are no longer with us…among them, Stephen Cannell, Dick Francis, Stieg Larsson and Robert Parker…but their work lives on. What great storytellers… what a legacy and gift just waiting for the next person to discover and enjoy. I am always amused by the customers who assume that I may have read every author and genre in the store as I attempt to match them up with just the right “read”. I have learned so much about these authors and genres from our customers. It is their passion for reading
that spills over and informs me. I have come to find some of my new favorite authors from these customers and I always love when I can return the favor. With a long winter still ahead of us…I would like to remind all booklovers what a range of inventory and experience is just waiting on our shelves for you here at Tattered Pages Used Books. With the ability to “recycle” and make room for more books…our bookstore offers an opportunity unlike any other in the Capital District. Our book inventory is stored in a database on our computer… you can always call us to see if we have the book you are looking for. We will reserve titles personally for you and call you when they come in. If you are looking for a specific title, but don’t want to order online…we’ll do that for you and still forward additional savings on to you! If you were wishing to be a little “crafty” this new year… we just may have that scrapbooking, quilting, crocheting, hobby book you need right here in our store. With thousands in both fiction and non-fiction…we just might have what you are looking for. For those whose New Year’s Resolution involve a new regime…all of our “selfhelp” & “diet/fitness” & “humor” books are an additional 10% off. We have hundreds of “self-help” books, diet/ fitness, sports, and humor books in store. As we enter 2011, Barbara & Larry Boord (store owners) and I want to thank all of our customers who frequented our store during 2010. Your friendship and patronage is greatly appreciated! Our locally owned used bookstore is a gem amongst the big box stores. We hope that if you have never ventured in…perhaps this year we will have the pleasure of meeting and assisting you here at Tattered Pages Used Books. In closing I would like to share some quotes that I recently found about bookstores: “A bookstore is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking.” Jerry Seinfeld “I get crazy in a bookstore. It makes my heart beat hard because I want to buy everything.” Reese Witherspoon “I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, “Where’s the self-help section?” She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.” George Carlin “Reading well is one of the great pleasures that solitude can afford you.” Harold Bloom “Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body!” Richard Steele “I cannot live without books!” Thomas Jefferson Come see what we have in store for you! Until next month…Happy Reading!

FINANCIAL FOCU$ Some New Year’s Financial Resolutions Now that 2011 is here, you may want to make some New Year’s resolutions. Planning to volunteer? Go to the gym more often? Learn a new language? All worthy ambitions, of course, but this year, why not add some financial resolutions as well? Which resolutions should you make? Here are a few ideas to consider:
Boost your retirement accounts. No matter how old you’ll be in 2011, one thing is certain — you’re a year closer to retirement than you were in 2010. And that’s why you’ll want to increase your contributions to your retirement accounts. If your salary is going up in 2011, boost the amount you defer for your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan, such as a 403(b) plan (if you work for a school or other tax-exempt organization) or a 457(b) plan (if you work for a state or local government). With tax-deductible contributions, tax-deferred growth of earnings and several investment options, these types of plans are tremendous ways to save for retirement. And try to “max out” your traditional or Roth IRA, too.
Look for opportunities. With the uncertainties in the economy and the volatility of the financial markets, many people decide to head to the investment “sidelines” for a while. Yet, this environment may actually be a good one for investors with patience, discipline and the ability to look beyond yesterday’s headlines. For one thing, many quality securities are now good values. Also, we’re still seeing low inflation and low interest rates — factors that may lead to greater economic demand and improved strength in the financial markets.
for everyone, we have seen one “silver lining” in that many people, concerned about over-spending, have shed some of their debt load. The less money you have to spend on your debts, the more you’ll have available to invest for your future, so do what you can to cut down on what you owe.
Maintain adequate cash levels. As an investor, you’ve got at least two good reasons for maintaining enough cash in your portfolio. First, having adequate cash available means you’ll be ready to act quickly to take advantage of good investment opportunities. And second, by having a cash cushion, you won’t be forced to liquidate long-term investments to pay for short-term needs such as a major car repair, a new furnace, a big doctor’s bill, and so on. By following these suggestions, you can position yourself to make progress toward your long-term goals in 2011 — and in all the New Years that follow.

Don’t over-react to market swings. Over the past few years, we’ve seen plenty of sudden, sharp swings in the financial markets, and you’re likely going to see more of them in 2011. Don’t over-react to either the “ups” or the “downs” of the market. Over-reacting leads to short-term thinking — and successful investors are the ones who can maintain a longterm perspective. Rebalance when necessary. At least once a year, review and rebalance your portfolio, as necessary, to make sure it still reflects your goals, risk tolerance and family situation, all of which can change over time. Reduce your debts. While the sluggish economy of the past couple of years has obviously been a cause of concern 43

A few years ago a friend of ours injured her shoulder and her physician recommended physical therapy. She told us about her experiences in physical therapy and voiced frustration over her poor progress. Among her complaints were a lack of individual attention by her therapist and a generic level of care that did not address some of her specific needs or concerns. As a result she did not feel physical therapy was helping her and she ultimately she decided to stop PT and seek alternative treatments for her condition.
Our treatment approach is somewhat unique. We make every effort to empower our patients to be active in their own care by giving them tools to use when they leave our clinic. This includes not just exercises to maintain and improve upon the progress you’ve made but a good understanding of your condition and ways to prevent it from returning in the future. While under our care we use a variety of treatment techniques including skilled therapeutic exercise, hands-on manual techniques, and a variety of electrical and mechanical modalities. We pride ourselves on our individual attention to your needs. We will do a comprehensive evaluation during your first visit to determine your specific needs and goals and develop a treatment plan based on those findings. We provide consistent, one-on-one care, with unrushed treatments that allow us to provide the highest possible quality of care and better outcomes.
Unfortunately, her story is not uncommon. We’ve heard many similar accounts of people’s experiences with physical therapy over the course of our careers. As physical therapists we find these stories upsetting because we know people could have a better experience and better outcomes if they were treated in a different way than is seen all too often in many PT clinics. After hearing Michelle & Bradley Rocklein enough of these stories from our As residents of Delmar friends and neighbors in Delmar, we started to think with children in the public school system, we are about starting our own physical therapy practice here both personally and professionally involved in many in our hometown. community events and activities including youth sports, the PTA, and the Bethlehem Chamber of We opened Rocklein Physical Therapy this commerce.

TOOTH TIPS BY NELSON DENTAL HEALTHCARE
How Toothpaste Works?
It is a well established belief that brushing daily strengthens our teeth and makes them healthier and we use it daily never even wondering how it actually works. One must know not only the mechanism of action of a toothpaste but also the role of individual ingredients which will help in choosing an effective toothpaste. The mechanism of toothpaste action is as follows: • Abrasive Action: The abrasive agent in the toothpaste physically removes the solid particles in the oral cavity by abrasive action. It also helps in removing food stains and polishing tooth surface. It is an established fact that Tooth Powders have almost twice the abrasive action of toothpaste.
MODERN TOOTHPASTE GEL • Antiseptic Action: The toothpaste contains antimicrobial agents such as Xylitol which inhibit the growth of bacteria in the mouth which is especially helpful in gingivitis. • Action of fluoride: Fluoride is an important aspect of a toothpaste. It replaces the hydroxypatite of tooth with fluoropatite which is not only much stronger but also resistant to caries.
OUR TOWNE Bethlehem.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER WHILE USING A TOOTHPASTE Never swallow toothpaste as this can cause fluoride toxicity. Kids should be especially instructed against this. Don’t use toothpaste for pimples or zits excessively. Although it does seem to help, there are no studies that rule out possible side effects or dangers. People with sensitive skin are prone to burns and irritation on using them. You should brush for 2-3 minutes. Brushing vigorously for long duration does more harm than good. 49

Mylifecheck.heart.org uses Life’s Simple 7 – seven easy measures of health – to score your health, then helps you improve your challenging areas. February is American Heart Month! Friday, Feb. 4, is National Wear Red Day. Last year, staff at 500 work sites from the Catskills to the Canadian border wore red and donated $5 to the American Heart Association. Visit GoRedForWomen. org to participate. And keep an eye out around town and the nation for buildings that are glowing red. Join us in March as we lobby our state legislators to improve heart health in New York. This year, we want to make sure that everyone who graduates from a New York high school knows CPR. Call our state Government Relations Director Julie Hart at 518.869.4052 or email julianne.hart@heart. org to participate. You can also join us at the Capital Region Heart Ball on Saturday, March 5, at the Hall of Springs in Saratoga Springs for a fun night out! Call 518.869.4051 or email tina.foehlinger@heart.org for information. In April’s finally warming weather, join us for National Start! Walking Day on Wednesday, April 6. Get your co-workers, friends and family together and take a walk at mid-day. You’ll be part of a national movement, and your legs and heart will thank you!

The first week of June is National CPR Week. Every year, EMS treats nearly 300,000 people who suffer cardiac arrest, and more than 92 percent don’t survive to be discharged from the hospital.

Visit americanheart.org/ cpr to find out how you can learn CPR … and save a life. In the long days of summer, go outside and play. Check out our healthy recipes to go along with all that activity at heart. org. Your family will thank you! In the autumn, make plans to be at one of our Heart Walks. They’re a great celebration of the Start! program’s healthy initiatives, a fun day out, and a great way to raise money to fund the research that fights heart disease and stroke.

Heart Walk is set for Saturday, Oct. 22, at the Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs. Visit capitalregionheartwalk.org or saratogaglensfallsheartwalk.org for information about those great events.

Keep your family SAFE AND WARM this winter by scheduling your HEATING SYSTEM TUNE-UP today!
Although there's not much that can be done to lower the price of natural gas this winter, there are some no- or low-cost things you can do to save on your gas bill. Having a professional energy audit of your home can also help identify additional ways to tighten up your home and save on your heating bills. Reduce thermostat setting to 68 degrees. Reducing your thermostat setting can substantially lower your heating costs. Set back thermostat at night and when you leave home. Setting the thermostat back 10 degrees at night or when the house will be unoccupied can save up to 15% on heating costs. Install a programmable thermostat. Programmable thermostats allow you to reduce your home's temperature at night and during the day and still have the home warm when you wake up or come home from work. Change furnace filter monthly. Clogged furnace filters lower the heater's efficiency by preventing proper airflow through the furnace. Low-cost filters are available from your local hardware store.
Have furnace "tuned up" annually. Having your furnace cleaned and tuned annually helps the heating system operate safely and efficiently. Tuning may involve resetting the fuel-air mixture for proper combustion as well as cleaning of the blower and burners. Let sunshine in south windows. Open drapes on the south side of your home during winter days and close them at night. Sun angles are low in winter, allowing substantial solar heating through all south windows. Check and replace weather stripping on doors and windows. Air leaks around faulty weather stripping on doors and windows not only make your home drafty but they also increase heating costs.
Close storm windows and doors. Storm windows installed over primary windows are almost as good as doublepane windows for reducing heat loss, but they only work if they are kept closed. Lower the thermostat set point on your water heater. Keep water temperatures at about 120 degrees. You can check your water temperature by carefully placing the back of your hand under a steady stream of hot water—if you can't keep your hand there, your water is too hot. Reduce hot water use. Reducing hot water use reduces the cost of heating water. Low-flow showerheads save water and energy. Using the cold water setting on your washing machine and repairing leaky faucets will save on water and water-heating costs.

A Guide To Keeping
Your New Year's
Resolutions Do you have a New Year’s Resolution? Well, if you’re like most Americans (88% according to a GNC poll), you have at least one resolution. And, if you are like the majority of these promise-makers, your resolution is probably related to health and fitness.
55% promised to eat healthier, 50% resolved to exercise more, and 38% wanted to lose weight. While resolutions are wellintentioned, unfortunately most people fail at keeping them. With all the hype surrounding these promises, it’s easy to get caught up in them without really taking them seriously. We live in a throw-away society and e even our resolutions, I’m afraid, are not immune. However, especially forr promises that include improving ourr ot health it’s in our best interest to not take them lightly.
Break it down and make it less intimidating. Rather than one BIG end goal, dissect it into smaller pieces. Set several smaller goals to achieve throughout the year that will help you to reach the ultimate goal. Then even if you aren’t able to reach your final goal, you will have many smaller, but still significant, achievements along the way. For example, if your goal is to complete a 10K race, your smaller goals could be running a 5K in less than 30 minutes, adding upper and lower body strength training to increase your muscular endurance, and running 2 miles with a personal best completion time.
Ask friends and family members to help you so you have someone to be accountable to. Just be sure to set limits so that this doesn’t backfire and become more irritating than helpful.
