S

ummer is almost here and with summer comes a lot of home preparation, inside and out. Make your life better so you can enjoy the great weather by getting some projects done around the house in the simplest way possible: have someone else handle it!

One easy is to call a local company like Scrapster to take away your unwanted junk, furniture, broken or outdated appliances, plus any scrap metal type items along with household garbage and yard waste. There are a lot of choices out there for both homeowners and businesses, but we recommend you work with someone who is insured, has USDOT numbers on their trucks and ideally can be found in either the phone book or through a company website. Scrapster fits the bill across the board, and a major advantage to using a company like us, for example, is that we always separate out the scrap metal when we are on a clean out job, which helps reduce costs significantly in most cases.

We have 4 trucks ready to go wherever your job is. We break down and recycle EVERYTHING possible, from the motor out of a washing machine to the electric cords off of a desk lamp. So many things fall under the umbrella of scrap metal that people don’t usually associate with “scrap”,

such as car batteries, wire and extensions cords, bicycles, pots and pans, smaller appliances like hair dryers and of course, one of main focuses: household electronics such as computers, DVD players and more.

Here at Scrapster we are asked every single day things like “So…how do you make any money picking up appliances for free?” or “You’ve probably seen bigger messes than my garage, tell me you have, right”? There are no secrets here: we are as efficient as possible when we schedule our pick up loops (“runs”) to include as many stops as possible within the same area. This is how we can pick up that microwave for Mrs. Griffin on one stop and then fill half the truck with the items from the Simpsons garage on the next. And as for that crazy garage, we have seen it all, just about, and the best part is that they always look dramatically better in the end.

We look forward to hearing from you. Scrapster is family owned local business which provides a NO COST scrap metal and appliance pick up and removal service. We also offer LOW COST junk removal, TV removal and clean outs.

Everything is properly recycled, disposed of or donated.

We are convenient, reliable, insured, and we do all the work. Give us a call today at (518) 505-5055 or visit our website at www.scrapster.com.

CAR CARE TIPS Cold Facts About

A/C Refrigerant How did we ever get along without air conditioning in our cars? It’s a feature we take for granted until, suddenly, it’s blowing hot air.

How did we ever get along without air conditioning in our cars? It’s a feature we take for granted until, suddenly, it’s blowing hot air.

In the past few years, many owners have discovered that fixing an inoperative air conditioner can cost a few hundred dollars or more, depending upon the make and model of vehicle. The reason is that the old standby R-12 refrigerant, trade named DuPont Freon, has been replaced by R-134a.

Touted as being environmentally safer than its predecessor, R-134a has been standard since ’94.

If your older vehicle needs major repairs to the air conditioning system you can expect to replace refrigerant and the oil in the compressor in addition to the old components. You also may need to install a retrofit conversion. Do not allow anyone to mix refrigerants. They’re not inter-changeable. You cannot add R-134a to your older air conditioner without first flushing the system. Further, according to the Car Care Council, some substitutes are volatile mixtures of propane, butane and flammable hydrocarbons. Keep in mind the fact that if your vehicle is leaking refrigerant, you’re damaging the ozone layer.

An annual inspection of the vehicle, including the air conditioning system, may help forestall costly repairs. Many automotive service shops offer AC inspection specials when warm weather arrives. Otherwise, ask your service center to evaluate your system before those hot and humid days of CarCare.org summer.

”Thank you to our veterans for your service and sacrifice.”

Then

&Now The LaGrange Farm

By Susan E. Leath

Today the cemetery is encircled

by Vista Boulevard.

100 beaver skins and 250 pounds sterling were what it took to buy large tracts of land at the turn of the 17th century in what was to become the towns of Bethlehem and New Scotland. In 1686 Omie de LaGrange purchased half of the Van Baal patent from Jan Hendrickse Vroman and in 1716, with partner Simones Vedder, purchased the remaining half – a total of 69,000 acres.

LaGrange and his brother Isaac soon settled on a large piece near the Normanskill and began to make a living. LaGrange married Annatie DeVries and raised a family. He was described as “a true pioneer, a man of strength and courage, farmer, hunter, trapper; he founded a family which holds prominent place in the county as men of affairs and large land owners.”

Other settlers soon followed, leasing their farms from LaGrange. This did not set well the Patroon of Rensselaerwyck Manor who also laid claim to the property. The VanRensselaer’s filed suit. The case took years to resolve with the court finally

The barn was moved closer to the old LaGrange farm house in 2012.

20

ruling in favor of the Va n Re n s s e l a e r ’s in 1776.

The LaGranges, Vedders and 63 settlers were now without “estate or home”. The LaGranges especially found themselves tenants on property they had owned for over 75 years. Time of course marches on and the results of the Anti-Rent War of the 1840s made them owners again. LaGrange’s descendants farmed this land until 1954 when it was sold out of the family.

Some of those descendants include Christian I. LaGrange (1779-1848) and his wife Jamima LaGrange (1796-1828) who are buried in the family cemetery. That cemetery now finds itself in the center of a soon-to-be busy roundabout in the Vista Technology Park. Another descendant, Ella LaGrange McBride (1875-1955) received recognition in 1939 as a Double Century Farmer.

In 1947 Ralph Mosher leased land from Dr. Garry McBride (son of Ella LaGrange McBride). Many remember the buzz of planes taking off from the turf landing strip of Mosher’s Tri-Village Airport.

The airport, located in the vicinity of today’s Shop Rite, closed in 1984.

As Bethlehem looks forward to the future and the benefits of the Vista Technology, it is fitting to remember the past, the farmers and forward thinkers that have contributed to our town’s heritage. Sometimes this history is hiding in plain sight; a family cemetery along the road, a farmhouse among the suburban homes or barn among commercial buildings.

BETHLEHEM CEMETERY 286 Kenwood Ave. (At the intersection of Elsmere Ave.)

Families asked for a place where names of loved ones could be engraved, even if they were not interred at Bethlehem Cemetery. We heard you, and this memorial will be placed in our Tribute Garden for Spring 2013 engraving.

Families asked for a scattering area and a meaningful service at that place. We heard you, and we will place an in-ground scattering vessel in Spring 2013. A certified celebrant is on staff to create the perfect tribute service for your loved one.

Everyone deserves a place to be remembered. A place for special days to honor a life, also a place for every day, forever.

Families today need to be cost-conscious, and want effective planning for life's ending tribute and for permanent remembrance. We appreciate that and we can help. Our new sections are now open. Pre-need planning discounts and timepayments are available.

Canterbury Vet Q: I am looking to adopt a cat from the shelter. What can I do when I bring the newest member of my family home so that he can easily adjust to his new home?

June is National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month! You can make the transition to your new home relatively seamless by following these guidelines.

Ideally, bring your new cat home in a cat carrier. It will feel safer to him. He has seen a lot of excitement, so take him directly to his new room. Cats can be particularly sensitive to new surroundings and some may hide under a bed or in a closet for days or even weeks after arriving in their new home. Coming into a new home can leave cats feeling uneasy. There’s all that unexplored space and who knows what may lurk there. Do him a favor and provide a small area to call his own for the first few days or weeks. A small room works well. Furnish the room with cat amenities, such as food, water and a litter box. You’ll want to spend time with your cat, so make sure there’s a comfortable place for you to sit as well.

Ideally, you would restrict his exposure to the whole family, but naturally, everyone is going to want to see him. Sit on the floor and let him come to you. Don’t force him. Just let him get acquainted on his own time.

If he doesn’t approach, leave him alone and try again later. Some cats are particularly frightened and he may

retreat to his safe space and not come out when you’re around at all. He may only come out at night when the house is quiet. Give him time.

Your newly adopted cat may not eat much or at all at first. It’s best to give your cat the same food he had at the shelter, at least at first. Keeping some things familiar will make him feel more secure. Be sure to change his water frequently and make sure that he is drinking. If your cat hasn’t eaten for a few days, call your vet to ask for advice.

Following Weeks: It may take your cat a week or two to adjust. Be patient.

Within a week of being adopted, take your newly adopted cat for his first wellness visit with a veterinarian.

If you have a record of immunizations from the shelter, take it with you.

As your cat adjusts, he’ll show signs that he wants to explore outside his safe haven. Make sure other pets or family members won’t startle him while he gradually expands his territory. He may be ready to play, so make sure to have plenty of cat toys on hand!

Congratulations! If you follow these tips, you’ll be on your way to having a well-adjusted feline family member!

Message from the Supervisor One of the most vital functions of town government is to regulate land use and oversee development. A number of new projects are coming forward in Town and I want to make sure that Bethlehem residents are well informed in this area.

Bethlehem has had zoning laws since the 1940’s, a Comprehensive Plan since 2005, and today is both a model of modern planning as well as a good example of the pressures and opportunities facing growing suburban towns. Bethlehem’s population is not only growing, it is also growing “grayer” – following the national trend of an aging population. We are going to have more empty-nesters and seniors looking for housing options other than a traditional single family home.

Planning is essential to ensure that the Town develops in a manner that meets community goals and preserves the town’s character. Since the adoption of the “Comp Plan” in 2005, the Town’s Zoning has been revised several times, new studies have been done, and economic and demographic conditions have changed. Accordingly, last year a Citizen’s Committee to Assess the Comp Plan (CPAC) was established to ensure that the Plan’s goals are being met, broadly shared, and that the public is informed on these issues.

Although Bethlehem was affected by the economic slowdown during the last decade, the pressures of growth are returning, and a variety of new development proposals are coming forth, including many for apartments, condos, and townhomes. While one of the Comp Plan’s primary goals is to allow for more housing choices, particularly those appealing to empty nesters and seniors, it does not answer the question, how much is enough? That’s a question that the Town Board will need to address in a variety of ways in the coming months and years.

The CPAC citizen’s committee held 9 public meetings that were recorded and webcast. In related outreach, a series of community town hall meetings were held during the first four months of 2013 in Selkirk, Glenmont, Delmar/Elsmere, North Bethlehem, and Slingerlands to gather public input on topics affecting those areas, including local development, which was 26

always an issue of high interest. The CPAC committee reports on June 12 with a series of action items to be considered by the Town Board.

At the same time, a major development proposal known as Wemple Corners is coming before the Town Board. This proposed project at the intersection of Wemple Road and Route 9W would involve a rezoning of 95 acres to allow new office space and retail development, and 526 residential units: 56 Townhouses, 80 Condos, 240 apartments and 150 senior apartments.

We want you to be informed about this proposal, including the review process and opportunities for public meetings. The first step in this process is review of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) which describes the project in detail, including its impacts on transportation, natural resources and town services, and proposed mitigation of these impacts. There will be a hearing on the DEIS at the Town Board meeting on June 26 (6pm).

The Town website (www.townofbethlehem.org) includes information on CPAC, including video of its meetings, copies of presentations and background information. There is also a special website page on the Wemple Corners project, providing a great deal of information. This is just the beginning of the Town Board’s consideration of Wemple Corners, and in addition to reviewing the environmental impact statement, the Town Board will need to consider a proposed rezoning for the project. We also plan to hold a Glenmont Community Town Hall on the topic in the fall (date and location to be arranged). You can keep informed through the website, or call the Supervisor’s office for information (439-4955, ext.

1164).

Development and growth are facts of life in Bethlehem and elsewhere and we want to do all we can to ensure that we do not lose the quality of life that has attracted so many to our community in the first place. The key to meeting this challenge is planning, disclosure and public involvement. I urge everyone who is interested to follow this process closely and let us know your thoughts.

John Clarkson, Town Supervisor

REAL ESTATE EXPERT REVEALS INSIDE SECRET TO

PREVENTING EQUITY LOSS WHEN SELLING A HOME Bethlehem, NY – The local real estate market is improving and many homeowners are considering selling their homes for the first time due to the increased market activity. It is important to take the correct steps when selling a home to maximize your return.

While there are many mistakes that can be made, the number one most costly mistake in this market is PRICING. In a fast changing market, finding the correct price to list a home for the maximum return is difficult. Two recent examples of how pricing your home incorrectly could cost you literally tens of thousands of dollars, drive this point home.

John is a client of mine that we closed 3 weeks ago. We sold his home in a week for $345,000 with multiple offers. After the closing he said to me “You know the other real estate agent told me I would be lucky to get $300,000.” This week we went contract on a home at $199,000 after 7 days on the market. Again the seller said to me “The other real estate agent I met with told me I should list at $189,000.” Imagine if these sellers had taken the first advice they received and listed at lower prices? They would have lost at least $55,000 in equity and not even known it. On top of that, they probably would have thanked their real estate agents for selling their homes so quickly. The agents likely would have bragged they received 100% of list price as well!

So how does this happen? It happens because pricing a home in a volatile market is difficult and not all real estate agents understand the changing dynamics involved. Home evaluation is a specialty, so why not have a home valuation specialist value your home before you put it up for sale? Currently, for me to obtain my real estate salesperson license requires me to take a 75 hour qualifying course of which only a small portion is devoted to home evaluation.

Suddenly after this short class a real estate salesperson is qualified to provide homeowners with a “market analysis” of their home’s value.

To become a real estate appraiser that specializes in valuations only is a little more rigorous. For me to obtain my general appraisal certification I had to take 180 hours of specialized valuation classes and spend 3,000 hours of specialized property valuation experience under the guidance of an experienced appraiser. There was also a state audit and exam, before the state would grant me an appraisal license to value property. A specialist will always outperform a generalist. Putting the right price on your home can literally save you thousands of dollars. So be sure to hire an appraiser or make sure your real estate agent holds an appraisal license.

With the changing market we have been inundated with property valuation requests. If you are thinking of selling the following site will provide a free instant home evaluation. Of course a more accurate in person appraisal should be completed as well, but this will give you an idea of your home’s value at www.albanyNYhomevalues.com For a more detailed update on current real estate market conditions or the value of your home in call or email us anytime.

Changing Lives One Swing At a Time

The Bethlehem YMCA has a slogan that describes its mission.

It’s not a catch phrase and it’s not a sales pitch. It’s a philosophy of what the Y is all about, because it is truly much more than a gym.

The YMCA strengthens our community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.

To help support our mission, we rely on the generous contributions of people and businesses in the community to our Reach Out For Youth scholarship program.

The largest part of our fund raising effort is our annual golf tournament which this year is being held on August 5th at Wolfert’s Roost Country Club.

All the money raised by the Bethlehem Y is kept right here in our community to help our neighbors and friends. We never turn anyone away because

28

they are unable to pay to take advantage of all the Y has to offer.

Last year we helped thousands of people from low income families through Reach Out For Youth and the need is growing.

Our Y board members and staff are reaching out to business and community leaders asking them to support this program by making donations to purchase sponsorships at the annual golf outing. There are ten sponsorship opportunities that range from tee sponsor to event sponsor, with a broad range of donations.

This tournament is a fun, tremendous event for a great cause that benefits people in our town. Every dollar and every swing helps us achieve our mission of youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.

If you are interested in donating to Reach Out For Youth by being a sponsor of our annual golf tournament, please contact Bethlehem Y Executive Director Derek Martin at 439-4394, or stop by the front desk at the Y.

New Pool Scoreboard The latest addition to the Bethlehem YMCA is a beautiful new scoreboard for the aquatics center. Members of the Bethlehem Area YMCA Rays swim team worked hard raising money to fund the purchase and installation of the scoreboard, along with lane sensors. The scoreboard will be a great addition for the BAY Rays swim meets.

FINANCIAL FOCU$ What Does Dow 15,000 Mean to You? Last month, the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a milestone, when, for the first time, it closed above 15,000. Of course, 15,000 is a nice, round number, and it sounds pretty big — but what does it mean to you, as an individual investor? Is it cause for celebration — or is it more of a “caution” flag?

There’s no one simple answer to these questions. Since March 2009 — the low point of the market following the 2008 financial crisis — the “Dow” has risen about 130 percent.

And while the Dow is just one index, it’s nonetheless an important measure of the market’s performance — which means that you were likely glad to see the 15,000 mark eclipsed and you’d be happy if the numbers just kept rising.

However, as you’re no doubt aware, the market does not move in just one direction. Typically, declines of 10% or more — or “corrections” — occur about once a year. Unfortunately, they’re not predictable. Sooner or later, the markets will indeed change course, at least for the short term. When this happens, don’t panic — corrections are a normal part of the market cycle. Still, you might feel like you should do something to cope with the downturn. But what?

Here are a few suggestions: • Keep investing — Too many people, when faced with a market drop, decide to “cut their losses” and take a “time out” from investing. But that can be a costly mistake — had these investors bailed out of the market in 2009, and only recently returned, they would have missed a substantial part

with Jerry Pittz

of that 130 percent run-up in the Dow. And when you invest in a down market, your dollars may actually go farther if the market rebounds, because you would have bought more shares at the lower prices.

• Review your portfolio — It’s usually a good idea to review your portfolio at least once a year, and it may be especially important during those times when the market changes directions. Over time, a portfolio can become unbalanced — for example, following a long period of rising prices, some of your growth-oriented investments may have gained so much value that they now take up a larger percentage of your holdings than you had intended, possibly subjecting you to a greater level of risk than you desire. If this happens, you may need to scale back on these investments and reallocate the money elsewhere.

• Diversify — Always look for ways to spread your dollars among a range of vehicles — stocks, bonds, government securities, certificates of deposit (CDs) and other investments.

Even within these classes, look for ways to diversify further, such as owning different types of stocks, bonds of varying maturities, and so on. Diversification can’t guarantee a profit or protect against a loss, but it can help reduce the impact of volatility that can occur in a downturn.

The Dow at 15,000 is certainly no minor event. And since stocks don’t appear too expensive compared to their earnings, don’t be surprised if higher milestones follow. But record highs can be quickly forgotten when the market falls.

By being prepared for that day, too, you can help yourself continue to work toward your goals — even when the major market indices have, for the moment, taken a wrong turn.

Trish’s Pix Tattered Pages Used Books

Dear Constant Readers…

June has arrived and I have included this picture of my darling business partner, Seamus, greeting a customer.

As you read this, I am hoping that the transition down at Tattered Pages has gone smoothly for us! Taking this leap of faith from manager to owner/proprietor has been a true learning experience…exhilarating & a wee bit scary! First, thanks to Barbara & Larry Board for all that they have done for the store and me, as they leave the shop and enter the world of retirement. (Larry will pop in from time to time, I‛m sure) Next, I want to say thank you to all the loyal customers who have helped Tattered Pages to continue to exist as we celebrate its 6th year in the Glenmont Center Square. I am looking forward to many more years to come, under my ownership, but I can‛t do that without your help & patronage!

Thank you to all of you who have spread the word about us. It is thru your recommendation that we meet new customers. Thank you, also, to all the customers who voted in Capital Region Living, naming us Best Used Bookstore in 2012 & 2013! Thanks to my family & friends who have given such support to me over the years…I will continue to lean on you! Finally, many thanks to John & Our Towne Bethlehem for providing me the opportunity to write this column over the last 5 years! One of my former students sent me a FB message… “Best of luck in this new “chapter” of your life… pun intended”. So, if you haven‛t been by the shop lately, come on by in June to see what we have “in store” for you.

I will be having a “Grand Re-Welcome to the Shop” rather than a re-opening in July.

Our inventory is currently at about 19,000 titles…and all of them are reduced between 20%-60% off original publisher‛s suggested price. We still have a 75 cent rack and most books on the shelves start at $1.50. New to the store: young children‛s gently used & new toys, family friendly CDs, DVDs, video games/computer games. These items may be brought in for consideration for trade credit.

Only 6 books/items (clean, odor-free, intact…No boxes of books…no dumping outside, please!) at a time will be looked at for trade credits. All transactions are final; however, all items purchased may be brought back for trade credit consideration. Your trade credits can be used to take an additional 22% off purchases in the store (except our $1 36

greeting cards & 75cent rack). We will periodically have items for sale on our sidewalk…books, crafts, household items may be featured at greatly reduced prices. Anyone with Audio books on CD…family DVDs…educational toys, puzzles…we are in need. We are no longer going to be selling book on cassette…they will be featured for sale greatly reduced.

In the midst of all this preparation of taking over, I did take time to read during break time. One of my favorite woman writers is Tina Fey of SNL ( Sarah Palin impersonation, Weekend Update desk) , 30 Rock, and various movies. Her bestselling book “Bossypants” had me laughing out loud as I heard her voice actually reading it in my head! If you like her work, wit, and manner, then, you will appreciate this book. She brings insight into her life as a working woman, wife, mother, writer, actress, and young girl from Pennsylvania living out a life bigger than her dreams. I found a deep connection to her life, her aspirations and I love the way she writes like she speaks.

I am also finishing “Under the Dome”another huge book by Stephen King, which will be a featured mini-series on TV in June…hope that they can do it justice!

As summer comes, let me help your child connect to just the right chapter book, required reading, or beach read!

Remember that I will research for you, if you don‛t have time to browse, do not hesitate to e-mail or call. As you pack for vacation, don‛t forget to stop by the shop for that book that you didn‛t know you were searching for!

TEACHERS: Come on in and see me for your Teacher Discount Card which will give you an additional 10% off all purchases for use in your classroom.

Please share this info with your teacher friends.

In closing, my motto for this first year of owning Tattered Pages is “Reading is a family tradition!” I would hope that you agree with this motto, and when shopping for books, please consider Tattered Pages where we help you responsibly recycle your books and help keep the “green” in your pocket! Seamus, Linda & I will be waiting.

Proceeds go to fund Education Grants, awarded to local schools. There will also be a Fine Gardening Raffle, with several great prizes including the grand prize of custom gardening in your own garden by several experienced gardeners. There is no charge to attend the Plant Sale.

This event will be held rain or shine, so make plans today. Tickets for the Garden Tour are $15 and may be purchased at the Plant Sale or in the parking lot of the Slingerlands Price Chopper (not in the store), the day of the tour.

ASK THE

What do I need for a Summer First-Aid Kit? Paul Pagnotta, Pharmacist & Co-Owner Four Corners Pharmacy

The sun is finally out. So when you get ready for some summer fun, don’t forget to bring along a first aid kit. The American Red Cross recommends having a well stocked first aid kit in your home and car.

What items should be included in a first-aid kit?

It is important to have some basic items in your kit (listed below). However, make sure that your kit includes anything special your family might need for their own health (prescription medications, epi-pens for bee allergies) or for the type of trip you are taking (snake bit kit in certain parts of the country, or blister bandages for long hiking trips). Check the kit about twice a year when you change your clocks (and smoke alarm batteries) to be sure everything is in date and nothing is missing.

Supplies

Medications

Flashlight (with extra batteries Scissors Tweezers Thermometer Safety pins Eyewash cup Elastic bandage Waterproof tape Butterfly bandages Blanket Waterproof matches Instant bold back Bandagae strips Gauze pads Disposable Gloves – non latex Emergency contact information (phone numbers for doctors and family)

Anti-diarrhea medicine Motion Sickness pills Sunscreen with UVA & UVB protection Lip balm with sunscreen Calamine lotion (bug bites, poison ivy) Eye saline drops Antibiotic ointment (cuts and scrapes) Hydrocortisone Cream (rash, bug bites) Hydrogen peroxide (wound cleansing) Instant hand sanitizer Baby aspirin 81mg (heart attack) Bug repellent Acetaminophen (fever, pain) Aloe gel or spray (sunburn)

How do I use the medications and products suggested?

Get a pocket first aid book for the kit to be prepared and read the medication box to know when to use them and how to use. More importantly, read when not to use them. For example, it is recommendation not to use anti-diarrhea medication in someone with a fever.

How can I avoid motion sickness while traveling in a car, boat, airplane, or train?

There are a few things you can try to avoid motion sickness. First, face forward looking at the outdoors and look far toward the horizon.

Get in the middle of whatever you are riding to get the least amount of movement. Some people find settling their stomach with dry crackers or bland pretzels helps ease the nausea. There are non-medication wrist bands which work for many people available at a low cost and non prescription medications. However, medications must be taken before the trip starts, they can make you drowsy and should not be used in certain people. Ask your doctor or pharmacist and read the package.

What sort of bug repellent should I put in my first aid kit?

Insect repellants containing 20-30% DEET is effective at preventing mosquito and tick bites. It is safe to use infrequently and in low concentrations. DEET should be applied only to exposed areas of the skin and not underneath clothes. Reapply it every few hours (check the product label). To limit exposure to DEET do not apply it to broken, wounded or sun-burned skin and wash the treated area and clothes with soap and water after returning indoors. Concentrations above 30% DEET are not recommended for prolonged or frequent use, but can be used for activities where high concentrations of ticks or mosquitoes are found. For children (under age 5) use products containing less than 10% of DEET and try to avoid repeated applications. Spray the product on your hands first and then apply it to your child to avoid children transferring the product from their hands to their eyes, nose or mouth. Alternatives to DEET, such as picaridin and oil of lemon eucalyptus can repel mosquitoes but may not repel ticks.

How should we manage sunburn?

If you could not avoid sunburn by using a broad spectrum UVA UVB sunscreen, you can reduce the pain and heat of a mild to moderate sunburn. Apply cool, wet compresses to the affected area and an aloe based lotion or spray can soothe the pain. Over the counter sprays containing Lidocaine, a local anesthetic, can help alleviate the heat and pain associated with sunburn. It is important to stay hydrated so make sure to drink plenty of fluids when healing sunburn. For continued sunburn pain, over the counter medications such as ibuprofen and naproxen are also helpful in reducing pain and inflammation. However, be sure to read the package label on how to use these medications safely. During the recuperation process avoid further sun exposure.

What else can I do to protect my family on a summer vacation?

There are many things you can do to protect your family. Having a first-aid kit is no substitute for prevention. The best way to deal with injury and illness is to prevent it. Remember to get proper rest, don’t drive when tired, and take a cell phone for emergencies.

Consider taking a Red Cross First Aid or CPR class to better handle family emergencies. You can also read reference books about plants and bugs to help better protect your family from common summer ailments. And always be aware of your family’s sensitivities and needs so you can protect him or her as necessary.

A Specialized Team

By Amy Scharf

Dave Harrington’s job has gone to the dogs -- a specialized team of K9 dogs that is, with a very unique talent: sniffing out drugs.

Harrington, a Glenmont resident and retired Bethlehem Police Officer has launched Specialized K9 Detection Service. This newly formed business provides a professional, confidential service to families, businesses and schools in need of assistance dealing with drug use and contraband.

The business is family run with Dave as CEO, his wife Mandy serves as co-owner and operations manager and son Jordan serving as a dog handler. The remaining team members are four legged and furry: Willy and Stone, 3 ½ year old Labrador Retrievers who are trained to track down marijuana and other illegal drugs.

The training is highly specialized and intense. The dogs and both handlers were professionally trained and certified at Ventosa Elite Kennels, a top Law Enforcement/ K9 Academy in North Carolina. The dogs have a keen sense of smell that is a thousand times greater than humans. They are initially imprinted with the desired odors to detect and continually practice with those scents, not just to reinforce their skills but to add to their repertoire of search capabilities. Willy has also shown an exceptional ability to find people such as a lost child or vulnerable adult.

“Due to confidentially, I cannot discuss clients and results but both Willy and Stone have made successful discoveries that have proven their expertise in the field,” said Harrington.

“Our work is really their play; it is just a big game for them.

There are times for me it can be difficult and demanding, but at the end of the day, I am still spending the time playing with my dogs.”

Harrington likes what he does and has a wealth of law enforcement experience. He worked for the Town of Bethlehem Police Department for 25 years, with his expertise focusing on children and families as well as youth programs. He served as School Resource Officer for Bethlehem High School, the department D.A.R.E. officer, as well as liaison to Glenmont Job Corps Academy the last 4 years.

His partnership with Glenmont Job Corps and the Security/MILCAP training department, prompted him to share his new business venture with Security students looking to gain K9 experience. Harrington is offering a work based learning opportunity or internship to the 46

students at Job Corps who are pursuing careers in security and related fields.

“By offering our students the experience and training in the K9 field, our students will enter the job market a step ahead and will present as strong candidates for hire,” said Security/MILCAP Instructor Edward Mosso. “The work based learning opportunity supports our philosophy that real life and hands-on experience matters. By having some K9 experience, our students will gain another set of skills that will enhance their chance for employment,” added Mosso.

The services Specialized K9 provides is ground breaking in the greater Capital District. The business model is prevalent in many large scale markets and is quickly becoming a must have tool in a broader range of communities looking for assistance not previously available.

“Private and public schools, treatment facilities and business owners need to know if there are drugs present,” said Harrington. In this day and age, those responsible for others also have an obligation to do their best to provide a drug free workplace and learning environment. “My team of K9’s can provide some clarity and help to solve problems in a variety of ways without the immediate involvement of law enforcement,” he added.

“My career has always been about helping people and that isn’t something you just walk away from,” said Harrington. “I look forward to continuing to give back to the community, grow my business and be a leader in the K9 industry.”

You can find Specialized K9 at www.LabsFindingDrugs. com , www.K9Willy.com or through their facebook page www.facebook.com/SpecializedK9DetectionServices where you can see photos and videos of the dogs in action. Contact Dave for your personal, confidential consultation.
