responses. The cat should have plenty of space and be able to climb and retreat. Treats and play should also be provided to distract the cat, keep it occupied, and help ensure a positive outcome. In case of extreme aggression and fear, consult your veterinarian. In that situation, it is advisable to keep the dog and cat separated, unless supervised, to avoid injury to either one.
The basic principle of introducing your pet to unfamiliar people is to associate positive things for the pet (eg, treats, play, exercise) with the new people in the household. At fi rst, these interactions can be done with both the current and new family members present. New family members should not use any form of discipline or punishment. Make sure that your dog has a quiet, secure area where it can be comfortably confi ned if it becomes overwhelmed with unfamiliar people. And always make sure that you spend some time with every pet every day.
Please send all your veterinary questions to Dr. Estra at: [email protected] or mail them to Ask the Vet c/o
Canterbury Animal Hospital 88 Delaware Avenue Delmar, NY 12054
Q: We have one dog and a cat and recently adopted another dog! Any recommendations how to help our new dog adjust to the household?
Introducing your dog into a new household with unfamiliar people or other pets can be a source of concern. If all the pets have been well socialized with a variety of people and other animals, then the fear and anxiety associated with the fi rst few interactions are usually minimal. However, pets that are fearful, aggressive, or simply overly playful and inquisitive often need some time, effort, and additional training to help them adapt to new situations, new people, and other pets. Also, make sure to have your new dog examined by your vet to make sure he or she is free of any infectious diseases or parasites that could present a danger to your other pets.
When introducing a new dog into a home with other dogs, it’s a good idea to have the dogs meet and interact on neutral territory several times beforehand. When the dogs are together, a leash (at minimum) and head halter can help ensure a positive and gradual introduction, while allowing you to have suffi cient control in case of problems. Desirable responses (eg, tail wagging, friendly sniffi ng) should immediately be reinforced, while undesirable responses (ie growling, lip lifting) should be immediately interrupted and then avoided if possible by increasing the distance between the dogs. If anxiety or excitement escalates, punishment and fear-evoking techniques must be completely avoided. The goal is to settle the dog in the presence of the other dog(s) and reward acceptable responses.
When it is time for all the dogs to return to the same space, take them all for a walk together or have a play session fi rst. Set up separate feeding and sleeping areas for each pet until you can see that they are all comfortable with one another. If your dog has been crate or kennel trained, the crate will provide it with its own safe place in the new environment. Keeping new dogs separated when unsupervised prevents problems and possible injury.
When introducing dogs to cats, the response of each animal to the other must be considered. The initial introduction of the dog to the cat should be done in a controlled environment, with the dog on leash and head halter, and with rewards being given for desirable

The faces look out at us, serious and thoughtful, a snapshot of a different time. Two dogs sit in the foreground. The women wear puffy long-sleeved dresses that brush the ground. One of them holds a fan. The men stand in back, their shadowy faces just as serious as the women’s, all with hats covering their heads. This 1900’s photograph, taken at a families home on Village Drive in Delmar, is a glimpse of life in Bethlehem more than one hundred years ago. In fact, the families descendants still live in the area to this day. Susan Leath chose this photo for the cover of her newly published book on Bethlehem’s history. Entitled Bethlehem, the work is part of Arcadia Publishing’s Images of America series. Susan is passionate on the subject of Bethlehem and its history. She moved here with her husband and small but growing family more than a decade ago from South Carolina where she previously worked as an museum director. Susan immediately became involved in the Bethlehem Historical Association and has worked on the association’s website, been the director of exhibits, the membership chair and the corresponding secretary.Her volunteer work led to her 2007 appointment as Bethlehem’s Town Historian. Her job includes working with the vast collection of archival photographs owned by the town. Susan often includes these photographs in an ongoing rotating exhibit at town hall. This, she says, is seen and appreciated by many. She also maintains the historian’s page on the town’s website: townofbethlehem.org. But the largest part of her job, and the one she most enjoys, is traveling to the schools where she imparts an appreciation of our heritage. Beginning with a a quick overview of Bethlehem’s origins, Susan always tell her audience about the fi rst inhabitants of our area who lived here for thousands of years before Henry Hudson sailed his boat for the Dutch crown. These were most likely the Mohican peoples, drawn to the fertile soil along the Hudson River.
The fi rst known European settlement after Henry Hudson’s arrival was along the Normanskill and Vloman Kill rivers. From there grew the community of Bethlehem. This was a tiny group of hearty people, numbering around 100. As the population grew, and as the fertile land along the river was taken up, people began to move inland. In 1793, Bethlehem was offi cially incorporated. The building of roads in our area brought about change, as did the railroad. The Delaware Turnpike (now Delaware Avenue) was built in 1804, connecting Bethlehem to Albany. In 1863, the Albany-Susquehanna Railroad was built which connected Bethlehem to Albany. As more people could work in Albany and live in Bethlehem, this change brought about the beginning of suburbia in our area.
Susan, knowing all of these stories and so much of our history, stood one day in a Barnes & Noble bookstore, looking at a rack of local town history books. It seemed to her that most towns had one, all except Bethlehem. She decided right there to put our town’s history on paper. First, though, she had to sell her idea to the publisher. There was a proposal to put together, an essay and sample photographs to send. The day they accepted her offer she says was “a very good day”, but her work had only just began. With the exception of two photographs the author took herself, all the images in the Bethlehem book are pre-1960. She spent months scanning photographs and writing text. Half of the photos included are owned by the Town of Bethlehem. The rest are divided between the Bethlehem Historical Society and privately held collections. Susan opens the book with a brief essay on the hamlets that make up the town of Bethlehem. There is Delmar, Elsmere, Glenmont and all the names we know today, but also forgotten places like Kimmey’s Corners, Adamsville, Wemple and Jericho. The book is divided into chapters, each documenting the hamlets within our town. The photos are crisp and clear, showing people, businesses and homes, many of which are standing today. A detailed and well-researched description accompanies each.
Susan Leath | Town Historian
“The Hudson River is so important to the history and early development of the town.”

A question people often ask is: what’s the story behind the lion sculptures near the Henry Hudson Park? The answer to where these sculptures came from is found in the book: “J.B. Lyon, owner of a successful printing company and other business interests in Albany purchased a large tract of land at Cedar Hill in 1887 from John Taylor Cooper. Slowly he transformed Cooper’s modest house into the spacious summer home pictured here. By his retirement, in 1916, he and his wife Anita were living here year-round. While the main house burned in 1964, a rustic bungalow on the shores of the Hudson remains today. Two of the large sculpted lions that marked the entrance of the Lyon estate are still in place on Barent Winne Road today.”The Hudson River, which Susan credits to for the early development of our town, is where she came up with her next idea. “The river is so important to the history and early development of the town.” she stated. This spring, she plans to host guided walks at the Town’s Henry Hudson Park. The tours will be done in partnership with the Bethlehem Historical Association. Her enthusiasm is infectious and makes one eager for the stories she has to tell. The park is also home to a secluded and beautiful waterfall, where the Vloman Kill empties into the Hudson River. She plans on including this special place in her guided walks. Talking about doing the guided walks brings us back to the biggest facet of her position: education. Everything she does, really, is about educating the public about our history. Look for Susan’s book Bethlehem at I Love Books, Tattered Pages and at Bethlehem Town Hall. She is donating all of her royalties to the Bethlehem Historical Association.
Susan’s enthusiasm for our history is infectious, and to hear her speak about it, it’s easy to become engrossed. The book is exciting and important for our town. She meticulously put together the puzzle of our history, and as she writes in the book, “Enjoy the pictures that follow, let them be the wrap and the weft, weaving the tapestry of Bethlehem’s history.”

WINTER DRIVING TIPSAAA recommends the following:
• Never warm up a vehicle in an enclosed area, like a garage. • Make certain your tires are properly infl ated.
• 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.
Tips for driving in the snow:Accelerate and decelerate slowly. Applying 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 snow-covered 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 fl oor and use the ball of your foot to apply fi rm, 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 snow-
covered 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.
Have a Happy & Safe New Year!

There is no age limit on inspiration, imagination, and inventiveness. As a clinical psychologist who specializes in creative expression and play, I often have patients come to me who want to create but have blocks in their self-expression. Here is an example: “It is too late for me,” she said. “What do you mean, ‘it’s too late for me’?” I asked. “I missed my window. If I was going to be a writer I should have done it before I had kids. Now that they are grown, I fi nally have the time to write, just not the inspiration.” This conversation actually happened with a 64-year-old woman. She had been a junior copyrighter at an

advertising agency on Madison Avenue and was moving up in the company when she met her husband and started her family many years earlier. She had always intended to write a novel but the demands of raising her two kids always came fi rst so she put it off. Now that her children were grown and out on their own she wanted to write again but didn’t know how to begin. One of the things that was getting in her way was the sense that she was somehow “too old” to create. She told me that she thought that inspiration was the domain of the young — a common misconception.
Many people believe that creativity only happens when you are young and “fresh.” While there are many examples of young creative geniuses (Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook, Bill Gates and Microsoft), there are just as many individuals, if not more, who “peaked late.” Mark Twain, Matisse and Alfred Hitchcock did their best work late in life.
A professor at the University of Chicago recently defi ned two types of creative souls – those who start young, shine bright and (often) burn out, and those who develop over time to produce their best work in the second half of life. Had masters like Frank Lloyd Wright or Alfred Hitchcock stopped pursuing their creative aspirations before their 60s and 70s, they never would have created some of their most highly regarded work — like Wright’s Falling Water (created at age 70) and Hitchcock’s North by Northwest and Vertigo (created after he was 60).
My philosophy is that it’s never too late to create. The keys to developing your creative expression are Play and Consistency.
Take time to open yourself up to your own playfulness and creative spirit. Creativity is all your own, it doesn’t have to fi t any type or any shape. If you love to garden, express your creativity there. If you love words, become a storyteller. All you need to do in order to create is to consistently set aside time to express yourself.
If going out and trying something new or something you haven’t done in a while feels scary or intimidating, express your creativity slowly, in small pieces, so that you can learn from your process.
Remember, there are wonderful things inside of you that the world is waiting to see and hear. Have faith in yourself that you can do it. We are all meant to create. There is no age limit on inspiration, imagination, and inventiveness. Every single person has something to say and contribute to the world no matter how old. It is never too late to create!

Q. Do I need winter tires?A. If you live in an area where the temperature is consistently below 45 degrees you do. Winter tires are not like All-Season tires. Winter tires have special rubber compounds designed to improve traction, handling and braking in all cold weather conditions, not just ice and snow.
Q. How many winter tires are recommended?A. Four. Of the hundreds of questions we get every year regarding winter tires this is the most frequently asked. The answer is the same for every vehicle type, whether you drive a compact car or SUV.
Q. Do I need winter tires to improve traction if my vehicle has Traction Control?A. Yes. Even though traction control optimizes the traction of your tires in adverse conditions by preventing wheel spin, this specialized system does not create additional tire traction. Traction always depends on the four contact patches created by the tires. The better traction your tires provide, the more effectively the traction control system will help you drive more safely. Cold temperatures will cause all-season compounds to harden, losing pliability and traction. See our Safety Below 45° article for more information.
Q. My vehicle has ABS brakes; does that eliminate the need for winter tires?A. No. An ABS braking system prevents “locking-up” the brakes by “pulsing” them as you apply pressure to the pedal. Remember that the tires on your vehicle supply the traction and help the ABS deliver faster stops. Tires built with better winter traction will improve overall braking performance on ice, snow, and cold roads.

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 fi lter monthly. Clogged furnace fi lters lower the heater's effi ciency by preventing proper airfl ow through the furnace. Low-cost fi lters 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 effi ciently. 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 double-pane 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-fl ow 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.
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.

Taking offi ce has fi lled me with a great sense of responsibility, and I hope to serve you well. These are diffi cult times for many, and town government must fi nd every conceivable economy so that we can preserve the quality services that Bethlehem residents deserve.
My life’s work has well prepared me for this job. I bring to the Supervisor’s offi ce over 30 years experience in governmental management, budgeting and local government policy. With a professional focus on fi nance and effi ciency, I have always tried to advance new ways to approach local responsibilities. My civic involvement through advisory groups and other channels has also been one of the most fulfi lling experiences of my life. But despite this wonderful career, compelling desire to serve, and my freshman success in seeking local elective offi ce, I remain humbled by the task at hand.
Humility is a good thing for those who seek and hold elective offi ce, and it is reinforced by the process itself. You cannot win an offi ce unless you fi rst ask the voters for their support and trust. Let me tell you fi rsthand, walking from door to door across this town was a great experience, and I loved it. You talk to people about what you believe the issues are, where the answers may be found, about your qualifi cations and ideas for making things better. But most of all, you need to listen.
I did that, and I intend to keep doing it: listening. I will listen to the town employees who work hard to deliver
vital services and certainly to my colleagues on the town board. I also want to have an open dialogue with those who serve on school boards, for the fi re districts, and in all the governments the town interacts with. But most of all, I will listen to the residents and business people of Bethlehem.
As I take offi ce, I offer three basic propositions: that Bethlehem should practice fi scal common sense and live within its means, that our town should be able to create an effi cient, modern government that serves as a model for suburban towns across the State, and that we should also be a model for engaging politics and productive civic involvement. Many of these changes will not come easily, I acknowledge, but these times demand hard choices, productive change and forward movement. I know from the countless doorstep conversations I’ve had that Bethlehem is ready. But change can only happen with your continued involvement. Everyone should have the opportunity to engage in a meaningful dialogue on town issues, and that’s something I’m going to focus on because I believe it is the key to making Bethlehem the best community we can be.
Together, we have to move forward with real solutions without delay. The challenges we face require us to be bold and not timid in the face of tough choices. Bethlehem is too good a community to fail at these tasks. We are also too good a town to be anything less than exemplary in every conceivable way. Together, we can see to it that Bethlehem leads the state in innovation, productivity, ethics and citizen participation. We are up to it.
On a personal note, from my family to you and yours, I wish you a happy and healthy New Year!

Investors Can Learn From Super Bowl Teams It’s Super Bowl time again. And whether you’re a sports fan or not, you can probably learn something from the Super Bowl teams that you can apply to other endeavors — such as investing.
What might these lessons be?
Take a look:
Pick players carefully. Super Bowl teams don’t usually get there out of luck; they’ve made it in part because they have carefully chosen their players. And to potentially achieve success as an investor, you, too, need carefully chosen “players” — investments that are chosen for your individual situation.
Choose a diversifi ed mix of players.Not only do Super Bowl teams have good players, but they have good ones at many different positions — and these players tend to play well together. As an investor, you should own a variety of investments with different capabilities — such as stocks for growth and bonds for income — and your various investments should complement, rather than duplicate, one another. Strive to build a diversifi ed portfolio containing investments appropriate for you situation, such as stocks, bonds, government securities, certifi cates of deposit (CDs) and other vehicles. Diversifying your holdings may help reduce the effects of market volatility. (Keep in mind, though, that diversifi cation, by itself, can’t guarantee a profi t or protect against loss.)
Follow a “game plan.” Super Bowl teams are skilled at creating game plans designed to maximize their own strengths and exploit their opponents’ weaknesses. When you invest, you also can benefi t from a game plan — a strategy to help you work toward your goals. This strategy may incorporate several elements, such as taking full advantage of your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan, pursuing new investment opportunities as they arise and reviewing your portfolio regularly to make sure it’s still appropriate for your needs.
Stay dedicated to your goals. Virtually all Super Bowl teams have had to overcome obstacles, such as injuries, bad weather and a tough schedule. But through persistence and a constant devotion to their ultimate goal, they persevere. As an investor, you’ll face some challenges, too, such as political and economic turmoil that can upset the fi nancial markets. But if you own a diversifi ed mix of quality investments and follow a long-term strategy that’s tailored to your objectives, time horizon and risk tolerance, you can keep moving forward, despite the “bumps in the road” that all investors face.
Get good coaching. Super Bowl teams typically are well-coached, with disciplined head coaches and innovative offensive and defensive coordinators. When you’re trying to achieve many fi nancial goals — such as a comfortable retirement, control over your investment taxes and a legacy to leave to your family — you, too, can benefi t from strong “coaching.” As your “head coach,” you might choose a fi nancial professional — someone who can help you identify your goals and recommend an appropriate investment strategy to help you work toward them. And your fi nancial professional can coordinate activities with your other “coaches,” such as your tax and legal advisors.
Unless you’re a professional football player, you won’t ever experience what it’s like to play in the Super Bowl. However, achieving your fi nancial goals can be a fairly big event in your life — and to help work toward that point, you can take a few tips from the teams that have made it to the Big Game.

Ice harvesting was big business in Bethlehem in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Here a man and horse work on the Hudson River to score the ice before it is broken off into cakes. The cakes of ice were stored in large ice houses for later consumption during the hot summer months. This photo, and 220 others, are featured in town historian Susan Leath’s book Bethlehem, on sale now.

The Bethlehem Y Supports Our Acti ve Older Adults Three years ago, a few senior members approached the Bethlehem Area Y administrati on seeking to create a Seniors Advisory Committ ee. The Bethlehem community has a large number of reti red and older adults and the Y was seeing this refl ected in their membership. The intent of the committ ee was to identi fy opportuniti es to implement and enhance the services provided to the acti ve older adult community. Since the Y’s mission is to serve the needs of teens, families, and seniors, we felt this was a unique opportunity to see that the needs of the older adults in the family were given adequate considerati on. It also coincided with the Y’s Acti vate America initi ati ve to support healthy lifestyles and create healthy communiti es. This committ ee initi ated by a few interested seniors and YMCA staff has grown to a thriving and integral part of our community and YMCA.
We expressed our pleasure with all the Y has to off er and how grateful we were to have such a comprehensive facility in our town. The pools, sauna, hot tub, steam room, exercise machines, weights, track, and the broad range of classes were terrifi c. The Y also off ered some acti viti es for non-members, Monday aft ernoon bridge games being the primary acti vity seniors took advantage of. The aquati cs department had quite a few classes held in the pool that were appropriate for older adults and sought aft er, and many seniors took advantage of the Wellness Center’s machines, weights and classes.
During these past three years there have been impressive improvements due to the collaborati ve eff ort of the committ ee and key Bethlehem staff . We now call it the Acti ve Older Adults (AOA) program. The committ ee focused its att enti on on the opportunity to parti cipate in Medicare Managed Care insurance plans that enable parti cipants to have their visits paid for by their insurance company rather than a monthly membership fee. The Bethlehem Area Y now partners with Silver Sneakers, CDPHP, Empire Blue Cross
(Fit Blue) and MVP’s Medicare Managed Care. This arrangement has enabled over 1300 seniors to be full members of the Y with visits paid by their insurance. There is now a reduced monthly rate for seniors 65+ who are not in a plan that pays for their visits. With the support of The Y’s Wellness staff we were able to implement additi onal classes in the Wellness Center. There are chair yoga classes for people who can’t get down on the fl oor but want a yoga workout, there is a less strenuous spinning class, as well as other classes designed for older adults. There are many more disabled parking spaces in the back parking lot. The aquati cs programs that are especially friendly to seniors include beginning and advanced Water Aerobics off ered six days per week, and a Stretch and Strengthen class three ti mes a week. On the fi rst Monday of each month we hold a pot-luck luncheon for our AOA’s that has enthusiasti c parti cipati on (and we are great cooks!). Monday aft ernoon bridge games have conti nued and grown, and now there is a Wednesday noon pinochle group. In additi on, there is an AOA table near the entrance with a wealth of informati on about AOA acti viti es. Many mornings Tom Dobert volunteers at the table giving tours of the facility and orienti ng newcomers to the Y.
The biggest change has been in the hiring of a part-ti me Acti ve Older Adult Coordinator, Shawn St. James. She is a terrifi c additi on to our Y family and has been instrumental in the growth of the AOA community. Shawn has helped to bring together a real program for Acti ve Older Adults that expands on but doesn’t duplicate services already off ered by the Town of Bethlehem Senior Services. She is open to new ideas and enthusiasti cally integrates acti viti es into the Y acti viti es calendar. The AOA acti vity schedule now includes the following:
Bridge: Every Monday from 11:45 – 2:45 ($1 fee for non-members)Twisted Sti tcher’s Knit and Crochet Group: Every Tuesday from 11:00 – Noon ($1 fee for non-members)Pinochle: Every Wednesday, 12:00 – 2:30 ($1 fee for non-members)Potluck Luncheon: First Monday of each month, 11:30 – 12:30 Coff ee Hour: Second Thursday of each month, 10:00 – 11:00Lunch and Learn: Third Wednesday of each month, 11:30 – 12:30 (The January 18th talk is by Jen Anderson on Creati ng a Healthy Doctor/Pati ent Relati onship.
Lunch Out: Fourth Thursday of each month, 1:00 – 2:30. The January 26th lunch will be at Mangia’s and February 23rd will take place Blue Spice. Everyone pays for their own lunch.
There have also been four very successful Acti ve Older Adult Socials in the past year. These take place quarterly, on a Saturday evening, and include a light dinner, DJ, dancing and some dance instructi on all for a nominal fee. The next social will be the weekend before Valenti ne’s Day February 11th at 6:30 p.m. and if you’re 55 or older, you’re invited!
We are also hosti ng a Volunteer Fair at the Y on February 2, 2012. The fair is scheduled to run from 10:00am to 2:00pm. We hope you join us to learn about volunteer opportuniti es in the community.
The Bethlehem Y is a vibrant, acti ve place that welcomes people from all around the Capital District. If you haven’t already joined, come by to visit and see what there is that may interest you. It’s a great way to meet new people and old friends, get in shape, and try new acti viti es – you can do as much or as litt le as you want to. We are so fortunate to have this great facility right in our town – come learn about it and take advantage of the broad spectrum of off erings. And if you have some ideas for new programs for Acti ve Older Adults, please feel free to contact Shawn St. James when you visit.

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 womenDid you know more women die from lung cancer than breast cancer?Smoking increases the risk of heart disease, cancer & lung diseaseHow 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 fi nd 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 HelpTell 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 MedicationNicotine 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 QuitIf 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 fi ght cravings.

Happy New Year Fellow Readers… 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, my wish is that you are able to fi nd some time in your busy life to fi nd time for the printed word…to touch, hold, slow down and experience the printed word on a paper page…a traditional book. I will admit that the e-reader may have had an impact in sales this past year at Tattered Pages Used Books. I am fascinated by new technology but there are those of us, including myself, who favor the printed page of a book. That tactile experience of holding the book, placing the bookmark, sensing the page, even putting on our “cheaters” connects us to the author, the time, place and sense of the story. My grand-daughters Skye and Trinity are both in Kindergarten and showing great pride in learning to read. Nothing is sweeter than to cuddle with a child on your lap and slow down the pace as you read a children‛s book together. Trinity loves her experiences on an e-tablet and using her Tag reader but it just isn‛t the same as the shared reading experience of adult and child and a book. I have always found reading to be a joy! I was the type of child who hid under the covers with a fl ashlight long after “lights out” trying to get in just one more chapter. Though there are defi nite advantages to the e-reader…you can‛t share that with a friend easily. So many of my “regulars” read a paperback and then send it off to a friend. After it has made the rounds it often ends up back here on our shelves. I love opening the fi rst page to see the initials and often ratings of the book by those who have read it. For those who need Large Print we have about 50
titles here, by best selling authors in large print. 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 refl ect upon those great conversations that I have had with customers. I love visiting with Linda who enjoys the “bodice ripper” romances! All of hers must be set in foreign lands, though! Her stack is fi lled with dukes, duchesses, highlanders, scoundrels, governesses, and barons. These are her ultimate get away. Diane and George have been searching for new adventures that
contain dragons, sci-fi /fantasy such as “Eragon” and “Pern” series, where the dragons are allied with humans. Darlene visits almost weekly as she trades in her mysteries and tries new authors. She brings her mysteries with her to appointments and
her visits to her husband in the nursing home. Books are a great way to spend time that may otherwise seem to drag. Instead of thumbing through magazines (though there is nothing wrong with that) you could go back into the on-going story of your recent novel. The other day I had a lovely new customer looking for British mysteries by P.D. James, M.C. Beaton and Ellis Peters. She said that they bring her back to England and the days that she spent walking the stacks in her favorite used bookstores. 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 to admit, I haven‛t read all of them, hah, but I do depend on my tie to technology to assist me with my search. I have found several sites on the internet that can help me fi nd: British mysteries, the newest urban fantasy authors, similar historical fi ction when I may not be able to pull up advice immediately. I have also learned so much about these authors and genres from our customers. It is their passion for reading that spills

With the ability to “recycle” and make room for more books…our bookstore offers an opportunity unlike any other in the Capital District.

If you are looking for a specifi c title, but don‛t want to order online…we‛ll do that for you and still forward additional savings on to you! With a “trade credit account” here at the shop, you can earn an additional 30% off what you purchase. I would like to remind you that we have our Bethlehem Town Historian‛s book, “Bethlehem” here at Tattered Pages for $20.99. It is a wonderful pictorial history of our area. As we enter 2012, Barbara & Larry Boord (store owners), Linda Gardiner and I want to thank all of our customers who frequented our store during 2011. 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. I am asked frequently if we carry “New” books…well we certainly do, they are here amongst our “older” books…and if you have never read that book before, even though it may be years old…isn‛t it “new to you”? We are looking forward to this New Year with hopes of meeting many more new friends! Come see what we have in store for you! Until next month…Happy New Year…Happy Reading!Trish

A Guide To Keeping
Your New Year's ResolutionsDo 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 fi tness.
55% promised to eat healthier, 50% resolved to exercise more, 38% wanted to lose weight.
While resolutions are well-intentioned, 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 even our resolutions, I’m afraid, are not immune. However, especially for promises that include improving our health it’s in our best interest to not take them lightly.
So, what’s the secret to successful resolutions? While you can’t wave a magic wand and make your resolution come true, there are some easy steps to take to make it easier to fulfi ll your promise to yourself.
Choose an obtainable goal. Resolving to look like a super model is not realistic for the majority of us, but promising to include daily physical activity in our lives is very possible.
Avoid choosing a resolution that you’ve been unsuccessful at achieving year after year.This will only set you up for failure, frustration and disappointment. If you are still tempted to make a promise that you’ve made before, then try altering it. For example, instead of stating that you are going to lose 30 pounds, try promising to eat healthier and increase your weekly exercise.
Create a game plan. At the beginning of January, write a comprehensive plan. All successful businesses start with a business plan that describes their mission and specifi cs on how they will achieve it. Write your own personal plan and you’ll be more likely to succeed as well.
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 fi nal goal, you will have many smaller, but still signifi cant, 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 backfi re and become more irritating than helpful. For example, if you resolve to be more positive ask them to gently remind you when you start talking negatively.
Reward yourself with each milestone. If you’ve stuck with your resolution for 2 months, treat yourself to something special.
But, be careful of your reward type. If you’ve lost 5 pounds, don’t give yourself a piece of cake as an award. Instead, treat yourself to a something non-food related, like a professional massage.
Don’t go it alone! Get professional assistance. Everyone needs help and sometimes a friend just isn’t enough. Sometimes you need the help of a trained professional. Don’t feel that seeking help is a way of copping out. Especially when it comes to fi tness, research studies have shown that assistance from a fi tness professional greatly improves peoples success rate.
Limit your number of promises. You’ll spread yourself too thin trying to make multiple changes in your life. This will just lead to failure of all of the resolutions.
On average, only about 20% of us keep our New Year’s resolutions. Unfortunately, some of the biggest failures are found in fi tness resolutions. But don’t let the statistics get you down. By following the tips above you’ll be better equipped to fall into the successful 20% category.
Happy New Year!
