Message from the Chamber...
Healing the Wounds of War
Dear readers-It is hard to believe a month has gone by so quickly! We passed the Guilderland Central School District Budget (congrats to all you moms with fall kindergarteners!) and the trees, flowers and lawns are much improved! I am now looking forward to summer, but we are so busy at the chamber that I hope I can squeeze in some vacation time!
The two biggest events we have planned for summer are Restaurant Week from July 20-25, and a new and fun community event called Hop-n Shop. Hop-n-Shop will run from July 1-Sept 1, and includes any chamber business who wants to be in the game. The game is for community members to go around to participating stores and businesses and get the game card signedthe more places the better. Game cards will be available at the Guilderland Chamber in Star Plaza, and at all participating businesses. No purchase is necessary, and at the end, you turn your card in to enter a drawing for one of the 2 top prizes, including a flat screen TV! We are also planning our second annul restaurant week, and have eleven restaurants, including Mezza Notte, Athos, Siver Hills, Aromi D’Italia, Hana, peaches and more! For $18.03, you get a three course meal! Menus from participating restaurants are available on www.tasteofguilderland.com or at the chamber offices. Bring your Hop-n Shop card in while you are there!! I’d also like to say congratulations to our Annual Dinner awardees and encourage you to also stop by these places and check them out! Have a great June!

She will spend 3 weeks in June interning at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, teaching Integrative Restoration, a meditative form of yoga, to active duty combat soldiers diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Research programs using complimentary and alternative therapies have been ongoing. This particular approach is proving to be beneficial in treating the symptoms of PTSD and TMI. The program at WRAMC is a model. After completing the 3-week internship in the Specialized Care Unit, Fortuin intends to bring the program home to Albany.

GRIMM WITHDRAWS FROM SUPERVISOR RACE
*XLOGHUODQG &KDPEHU RI &RPPHUFH $QQRXQFHVÂŤ
I
wanted to take this opportunity to speak directly to Guilderland residents concerning my withdrawal from the town supervisor race.
Given the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current political climate, a Grimm-Runion race this year would fracture the town no matter who wins. I feel this is not whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for the people of Guilderland.
-XO\
Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for Guilderland is a renewed focus on the issues people care most about --- easing our tax burden, improving the assessment process, mitigating traffic problems, consistent zoning, more open government, and others.

SCOLIOSIS: DON’T ‘WAIT AND SEE’ BY DR. JENNIFER NOONAN, SPINAL WELLNESS CENTER
S
coliosis is an abnormal sideways or lateral curvature of the spine. It begins as a postural distortion and can become a permanent deformity. Allowed to progress, it can interfere with bodily functions, effect physical appearance and even quality of life. There are three causes of scoliosis; congenital (genetic), habitual postural, and idiopathic (unknown). Regardless of the cause, early ACTIVE intervention, rather than a ‘wait and see’ approach is essential. If allowed to go its course, scoliosis will usually worsen. However, intervention with proper spinal analysis, gently chiropractic care and postural retraining and strengthening exercises can produce a very different outcome- reducing or minimizing the curve, decreasing or stopping pain altogether and helping to maintain a stronger, healthier spinal structure for what lies ahead in their lives. In 17 years of Chiropractic practice I have seen dozens of young people with scoliosis. Many have been told there is nothing to do except wait and see and then brace or consider surgery. Waiting is not treatment. Surgery has huge risks. Chiropractic care is a proven safe and natural solution for scoliosis. There are documented cases of scolioses resolving, minimizing in degree or failing to progress as expected with nothing other than chiropractic care. Chiropractic adjustments address spinal subluxation (areas of the spine that are misaligned, fixated and interfering with proper nerve communication) which will help the structure and function of the spine. Specific exercises designed for the individuals curve will strengthen and improve posture. Pain will be minimized or completely resolved. It makes my day when I hear a young girl say they are playing sports pain-free or that their latest set of x-rays showed no further progression of the curve or to see their pelvic tilt even out. I’ve seen it over and over again in my office. With three young boys myself, I breathe a sigh of relief in the summer from the taxi service that is called Motherhood. However, summer is a great opportunity to begin your child with scoliosis on a spinal care program. If your child has scoliosis or you notice a high shoulder or low hip on your child, or their shoes are wearing improperly, this can be a sign of spinal distortion that can lead to scoliosis. Chiropractors like myself are uniquely educated to pick up the early warning signs of scoliosis before the curve even changes. For further information or to schedule a consultation at no charge, please call The Spinal Wellness Center at 869-3415. Dr. D Noonan resides here in Guilderland with her husband David, who is also a Chiropractor, and her h sons so Connor, Noah and Aiden. She is a graduate of Guilderland High School, SUNY Cortland and New G York Y Chiropractic College. She has served families in the th community with chiropractic for over 17 years.

GHS PARTNERS WITH GUILDERLAND POLICE DEPT. TO PRESENT RAPE AGGRESSION DEFENSE (R.A.D.) PROGRAM FOR HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR GIRLS
Who Do You Trust When Selling Gold?
GUILDERLAND, NYâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Guilderland High School is teaming up with the members of the Guilderland Police Department to present an invaluable workshop for the young women of GHS: the nationally-recognized Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) program. The program is open to all senior girls and is part of an ongoing transition program to prepare graduates for life beyond the halls of high school.
We specialize in 18k Italian gold jewelry that we directly import from Italy ourselves.
Roman Jewels has been a full service jeweler for over 16 years in the city of Albany.
About 3 years ago, when the gold market started to spike, jewelry sales started to decline. We needed to do something to generate business, so we started advertising that WE BUY GOLD. It has been a true success. Having knowledge of all types of jewelry and also bringing in a full time coin expert, has given us an edge to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;buyingâ&#x20AC;? The Rape Aggression Defense System is a program of realistic market. Recently, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve started buying antiques and self-defense tactics and techniquesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it is not a martial arts collectibles and have a booth inside the Coxsackie Antique course. Taught by nationally certified R.A.D. instructors, Center. the program is a comprehensive, women-only course that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and risk Never ever put your gold or valuables in an envelope and avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on ship them out. National news channels have uncovered the scams and how you get so much less money than defense training. To date, more than 35 seniors have signed up for the program. Guilderland High School Assistant Principal Lisa Patierne, who organized the event for the school, hopes to oďŹ&#x20AC;er additional sessions for both interested senior girls and female staďŹ&#x20AC; members later this spring.
Ready for Summer ? ; Lawn Mowing ; Mulch, Top Soil, etc.
bringing it to your local jeweler. You also canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trust the â&#x20AC;&#x153;here today, gone tomorrowâ&#x20AC;? buyers that rent out hotel rooms. Some of us locals have sent out spies and they pay less than half of what we pay. We try to work on volume so that we can oďŹ&#x20AC;er the best price in town. We evaluate each item by the piece. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just melt every piece of beautiful or antique jewelry. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth more than just scrap to us. Before you bring your gold anywhere else, at least let us evaluate it and give you a price at no cost. We are open Monday through Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and staying open until 6:00 p.m. on Thursdays. We also make house calls on Sundays by appointment outside the city of Albany. Conveniently located at 1190 Western Avenue, across from The University at Albany.

Q A ď Ť
with Pat Sunkes
Happy Homesitters
Q. What year did your business start? I started placing my ideas into motion in the Spring of 2008.
Q. How and why did you get into the business? After my retirement, many of my friends and co-workers had become snowbirds seeking a warmer climate, only to return finding their homes not exactly how they left them. The unfortunate stories of storm damage, failed sum pumps, broken pipes and even criminal activity, prompted me to start my business of watching over and caring for these homes that were left unattended. Hence, a business that would babysit your vacant home.
Q. Do you have many regular customers? I do have clients that travel very often and have used my services. Whether it be a vacation, business trip or unexpected travel, short term or extended, they want someone to care for their most valuable asset.
Q. Are you known for anything special? I treat and respect your home as if it were my own and I also oďŹ&#x20AC;er on the spot repairs for minor problems. I can arrange to meet www.happyhomesitters.com contractors, collect 32 %R[ Â&#x2021; $OEDQ\ 1< Â&#x2021; KDSS\KRPHVLWWHUV#JPDLO FRP mail, shovel doorways, and prepare your home for your return. I oďŹ&#x20AC;er several diďŹ&#x20AC;erent Q. What do you want the community packages as well as customized programs to know about you? that fit the needs and requests of the homeowner. I run a professional, reliable, I have spent my entire life in the Capital Region. I know many people in the area and insured service. and can provide several references. Id like people to know they can trust me watching Q. What hours are you open? over their most prized possession, their Technically speaking, my business is a 24/7 homes, in a caring way. operation subject to emergency calls, subzero weather, storm issues, as well as night time visits.
Q. Any customer stories to tell?
Q. What do you love most about your business? I love the satisfaction I receive when a client relates to me how relieved they feel when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m watching their home. I take over their worries, and knowing their home is safe and secure, allows them to enjoy their time away. Your home is your castle, let us remove the hassle!
Q. What do you think is your biggest challenge with the business? My biggest challenge is exposure, either through advertising or word of mouth, to let people know that there is this type of service available, one that oďŹ&#x20AC;ers peace of mind.
I have a not so funny story to tell that does have a humorous side to it and embraces why my service is so valuable. A vacationing homeowner returned to find their home at a balmy 88Âş. The programmable thermostat battery had died and defaulted to 88Âş. Their shocking utility bill was more than enough to pay for several weeks of my services. The good news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; their houseplants had grown several inches and bloomed earlier than expected. An expensive lesson learned!

I have also reached out to vacant estates, and homes waiting for real estate transactions.

Guilderland Named One of the Best Communities for Music Education The NAMM Foundation announced the results of its tenth annual “Best Communities for Music Education” survey, which acknowledges schools and districts across the U.S. for their commitment and support off music education. The Guilderland Music Department is proud to announce that the Guilderland school district has again achieved this honor. The designated programs exemplify community commitment to include music education as part of a quality education for all children. The NAMM Foundation and its music education advocacy efforts work to ensure that all children have access to quality music education programs that encourage lifelong participation in music making. As the economy challenges state and local school budgets to adequately support education, the 124 school districts named by the NAMM Foundation demonstrate the unwavering commitment to provide music education for their students. The NAMM Foundation’s mission is to ensure that all children have access to quality music education programs that encourage lifelong participation in music making. This year’s roster of musical schools represents 21 states with a record amount of communities from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Texas. “The potential of music to help children reach their full development is understood by the school districts represented in this year’s survey results,” said Mary Luehrsen, executive director, NAMM Foundation. “We celebrate these communities that are committed to providing access to music education programs and bettering the lives of their students.” Participants in the survey answered detailed questions about funding, enrollment, student/teacher ratios, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program, and other relevant factors in their communities’ music education programs. Research reveals strong correlations between quality music education in school and academic achievement. Students actively involved with music programs develop skills needed by the 21st century workforce, including critical thinking, creative problem solving, effective communication and team work. Additional information is available from District Music Administrator, Lori Hershenhart at 861-8591 x1106 or the district website at www.guilderlandschools.org.

Consumer Health Programs Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Your â&#x20AC;&#x153;File of Lifeâ&#x20AC;?? Suppose, just suppose, the unthinkable happens:Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re home alone, and you have a serious health emergency. How will first responders know what medication youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking, your special medical conditions, who your emergency contacts are, and â&#x20AC;&#x201C; critically â&#x20AC;&#x201C; what allergies you have? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the File of Life comes in. On Saturday, June 6, at 11 am, staff from the Western Turnpike Rescue Squad will be on hand to help you fill out a free File of Life form that you can keep on your fridge. This handy form (in a magnetic holder) lists all the medications you are currently taking and other pertinent medical information. Should you have an emergency at home, rescue squad workers will have immediate access to this potentially life-saving information. Drop in, spend 10 minutes with the Rescue Squad, and be prepared!
Memory and Aging: What's Normal, When to Worry, and What to Do How many times have you walked upstairs to get something, only to stand in the middle of the room wondering what you wanted in the first place? Or struggled to come up with someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name? On Friday, June 5, at 3 pm, Gia M. LaRuffa, PhD, a local neuropsychologist in private practice who specializes in identifying cognitive impairment will talk about how aging affects memory. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll examine the links between depression and memory, medications and memory, and some mental and physical strategies for improving memory. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at all worried about what you are forgetting, attend this afternoon program and have some of your questions answered. Call Adult Reference at 456-2400 x 7 to register. Note: All Library events are free unless otherwise posted. The Guilderland Public Library is located at 2228 Western Avenue, Guilderland.
