Congress, spent time at the White House Visitor’s Center and grounds, toured Arlington National Cemetery, spent a day at the National Zoo, took in the beautiful architecture of Washington and the LeDroit Park neighborhood where they stayed, and much more!

Hoosick Falls Girl Scout Troop #1313 and three chaperones spent five days in mid-August 2009 enjoying the sites of Washington, DC. This trip comes after three years of planning and fundraising efforts, so the young women were sure to fit in as much sightseeing as they could – covering many miles on foot and Metrorail. They listened to a U.S. Military Band in front of the Washington Monument, toured the national monuments by day and night, went to four of the Smithsonian Museums (Holocaust, Air & Space, Natural History, and American History), had a tour of the Capitol and Senate Chambers, visited the Library of

Berkshire Writers’ Room

Telly’s TAKE ■ Harmony in the Hills By Telly Halkias

It takes Rahob Rinpoche Thupten Kalsang a little longer these days to ascend to his throne, steadying himself with every step up toward the seat after setting down his walking stick. But Rinpoche (pronounced RIN-puh-shay), 75, is not royalty. A native Tibetan monk, he is the resident priest at the Rahob Dharma Center, an enclave of Buddhist religion and meditation in Petersburg, New York. He sees his work at the Rahob Dharma Center as an opportunity to extol the benefits of meditation in a non-sectarian manner. “Many people think you have to convert to Buddhism to gain benefits from meditation,” Rinpoche said. “That’s really not the case. We welcome equally Christians, Jews, Muslims and even those who don’t identify with a religion. Meditation is about something within you, but to get there is not an easy thing.” The farm consists of a Dharma center for weekly worship, an education center that can also serve as quarters for monks, and a meditation hall that is open for visitors throughout the week. Rinpoche also holds numerous retreats, and conducts educational outreach.

For his part, Rinpoche claims that experience is a necessary element in realizing the benefits of meditation as taught at the Rahob Dharma Center or anywhere else. “Locals and visitors come here and study and read much in books, but that is just knowledge,” Rinpoche said. “Actual practice in meditation is necessary. True awareness comes from within and is like a sweet fruit — you must have a taste of it for yourself.” For more information on the Rahob Dharma Center and its meditation and education programs, call 518-658-8811 or visit www.rahob.org.

From my Corner

Speaking of makeup... My daughter and I found Sephora in NYC a few years ago, and now they have a store in Colonie Center. I find it overwhelming! Price ranges are from low to high and the selection is vast. But still so much of it all! I usually pick something up — eyeliner, nail polish, blush — but I’m not a makeup person. I’ve said before, I have better things to do than spend hours in front of a mirror.

��

— Susan J. Coons ...makeup... Do any of you remember an old, frequently repeated skit on the Milton Berle Show where he said the word “makeup” and a little guy in a beret and wearing a cape would run on stage and smack Berle in the face with an over-size powder puff? Just thought I’d ask. I think it was Milton Berle.

ing to let my friends, coworkers and public get used to seeing me without makeup. I know my vanity will eventually creep into the picture. I don’t know how long I can keep this up. A coworker said to me one day a couple of weeks ago, “You look so good today! You’re wearing a little makeup, aren’t you?” Yes, I was. Ah, well.... At least she didn’t ask me what those little dark tracks were on my eyelids! _____________________ I’m moving away from wearing makeup every day. During the summer I’m dark enough that I really don’t think I need it, unless I’m going out in the evening. Eye makeup is the only thing I’ve been wearing to work, and I’m trying to stop that. My reason? When I was young, I thought it was shaky hands that controlled the eyeliner that seemed to be so erratically drawn on little old ladies. I realize that isn’t necessarily so. Now that I’m one of those little (well, not so little) old ladies (lady?) I realize that there are other circumstances creating unruly liner. There is more flesh in the aging eyelid, and it comes with its own pound of wrinkles. It has to be pulled out to the side a bit in order for you to make a straight line with the eyeliner. Even if you can manage a straight line, all the wrinkles snap back into place when you let go. There’s that bumpy line! If you are farsighted, as I am, and wear glasses, you will face another problem. Okay, you’re holding the eyelid, and trying to draw the line. Not only do you have to master the art of drawing the line straight, you can only do this with your glasses off, making it difficult to see what you’re doing. In order to avoid the “wrinkled eyeliner syndrome”, I’m try-

He married Irene Fortier in 1934 and they had three children Madonna, Andre and Cecile.

Bennington’s Geezer Gazelle Runs Again!

��

Bob Matteson’s second sweep of Single-Age 93 World Records is six-tenths of a second away. Matteson, Bennington’s Geezer Gazelle, ran the 200 meters Tuesday evening, August 11, at this year’s final Colonie Summer Track Meet in 44.54, the best he has done thus far in the current outdoor track season. Matteson’s time was almost eight seconds faster than the old American 200-M record, 52.33, by Herb Kirk, Montana, 1989. But the Gazelle remained slower than the 43.92 by Friederich Mahlo, Germany, 2004. With business and personal obligations piling up (track practice takes lots of time), Matteson is undecided on whether to make one more stab at a new 200-M record, 50/50 possibility, thus to complete a second six-events sweep of World 93-Single Age Track Records, the only time this has ever been done. Taking into account that he also ran a two-mile on Tuesday in Colonie, the Gazelle already now has an �� American six-events sweep. �� Pat Zemianeck, also of �� Bennington, admitted as the only �� female in an otherwise all-male �� heat, ran with the Gazelle in the �� two-mile, coming in a bit behind him because of his last lap push. �� Zemianeck also ran with Matteson, �� again a little behind, in the 200-M. �� Andy Castle, friend of both runners, provided logistical support. ��
