Once again the Northeast has been devastatedby a “once in a hundred years storm”. Whilewe were not physically impacted as greatly aswe were by Irene here in the Capital District,the economic impact of Sandy is tricklingdown to the local business owners. Manyproducts make their way here via New Jerseyand New York City. From paint to flooring,boxes and bubble wrap; our local businessowners are having trouble getting product to

meet the needs of the upcoming holidays. With Thanksgiving being asearly as possible, the 22nd of November due to 5 Thursdays in this year'scalendar, we are all rushing to get our homes spruced up in time for thefirst of our Winter Holidays. Our local Merchants rely heavily on thecommerce that revolves around the sprucing and preparation for ourwinter festivities. So I ask you; be patient. Remember; there are peopleonly a few hundred miles away that have no homes to spruce up. As wevisited the local merchants to get their ads for this all important time forthem the common theme was their concern over late deliveries and notbeing able to fulfill promises. It is not for lack of caring or not ordering ina timely fashion. NJ and NYC suffered a terrible blow from Sandy andthey simply have not been able ship products due to the flooding anddamage caused by the storm.

Small business Saturday is November 24th. It is a movement that wasfounded in 2010 by American Express to help small businesses get moreexposure during one of the biggest shopping weekends of the year. SmallBusiness Saturday is a day for everyone - from the business owners whocreate jobs to the customers who buy locally - to support small businessesthat invigorate the economy and keep communities thriving. Our localmerchants have been dealt some pretty tough times the past few yearsbetween devastating storms, winter with no snow and a generally weakeconomy. I could rattle off statistics regarding how the money stays in thecommunity longer when you shop local; but how about just plaincommon sense and caring? Spending money with people vested in yourcommunity feels good. When you go into an individually owned businessyou are looking at the face of someone putting in 60-80 hour weeks. Theyare not getting a tax break from the government just for showing up andmore than likely they have made many contributions to the local schoolsand community programs that would go unfunded without their generosity.

When you sit down at the Thanksgiving table this year make sure you talkabout your blessings. If it is not a tradition in your family to do this, thenthis is a perfect time to start. Ask everyone at your table to tell one thingthat they are truly grateful for. I would be willing to bet it has nothing todo with paint or bubble wrap. I am thankful that my daughter Lea is safeafter Sandy dumped nearly 10 feet of water on her front doorstep. I amthankful that my other daughter Beth gave birth to a beautiful baby boyand allowed me to be there with her to see him enter the world. I amthankful that Paul's daughter Jaime married Christopher, they are trulysoul mates. I pray that as you read this you will recall the moments thatmade you smile this year. Have a blessed Thanksgiving, Cheryll & Paul.

WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT THE “FISCAL CLIFF”I must admit that I am getting tired of the catchynames and dire predictions propagated by our popularmedia's 24-hour news cycle. As an investor, you cansometimes still feel you're at the mercy of forcesbeyond your control. This time they latched onto aphrase used by the Federal Reserve referring to a“fiscal cliff.”First of all, you need to understand what led to the

Fed's remarks. Here's the story: Some $1.2 trillion in spending cuts arescheduled to begin in 2013 while, simultaneously, the Bush-era tax cuts -including the reduction in capital gains and dividend taxes - are set toexpire. This combination of spending cuts and higher taxes could take some$600 billion out of the economy, leading to a possible recession - and maybesomething much worse, at least in the eyes of the Fed.Still, there's no need for panic. Despite its political infighting, Congress islikely to reduce the “cliff” to a smaller bump, though it probably won'thappen until after the election.But as an investor, you may need to be prepared for two significant events:market volatility, at least in the short term, and higher taxes, probably forthe foreseeable future.To combat market volatility, you need to own a broadly diversified portfoliothat can handle “bumps,” “cliffs” and other rugged investment terrain. Thismeans you'll need a mix of stocks, bonds and other securities that aresuitable for your needs. (Keep in mind, though, that while diversification canreduce the impact of market volatility, it cannot guarantee profits or protectagainst losses.) You may also need to “rebalance” your portfolio to ensurethat it's still aligned with your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon, despitethe impact of volatility.Now, let's turn to taxes. Even if taxes on income, capital gains anddividends do rise, they will still, in all likelihood, be much lower than they'vebeen at various points in the past. Nonetheless, you may want to considera variety of steps, including the following:1. Take advantage of tax-deferred vehicles. Contribute as much as possibleto your traditional IRA, your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirementplan, and any education savings accounts you may have, such as a 529 plan.2. Consider converting your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. A Roth IRAprovides tax-free earnings, provided you don't start taking withdrawals untilyou're 59 1/2 and you've had your account for at least five years. (Be aware,though, that this conversion is taxable and may not be appropriate if youdon't have money readily available to pay the taxes.)3. Consider municipal bonds. If you're in one of the upper tax brackets, youmay benefit from investing in “munis,” which pay interest that's free offederal taxes, and possibly state and local taxes as well.Not all these choices will be suitable for your situation, of course. Beforetaking action on these items, you may want to consult with your tax andfinancial advisors. But give these options some thought because they mayprove helpful in keeping your financial goals from going “over a cliff.”Christopher Nyhan runs the Edward Jones office in Burnt Hills, NY.

NEW MULTIFOCALCONTACTS Most people don't know that contact lensescan be bifocal, trifocal, or even progressive.But it's true. New multifocal contacts arebeing designed each year for people withpresbyopia; a natural condition brought on byage, where the eye's natural lens stiffens andloses the ability to focus on close objects.

You're probably much more active than your parents were at your age.Biking, jogging, exercising and playing sports are just a few of the activitiesthat today's 40-somethings routinely enjoy. So it's no surprise that manypeople 40 and older prefer contact lenses over glasses for their activelifestyles. Once we reach our mid-40s, presbyopia makes it difficult to focuson near objects. Reading glasses used to be the only option available tocontact lens wearers who wanted to read a menu or do other everydaytasks that require good near vision. But today, a number of multifocalcontact lens options are available for you to consider.Some multifocal contact lenses have a bifocal design with two distinct lenspowers - one for your distance vision and one for near. Others have amultifocal design somewhat like progressive eyeglass lenses, with agradual change in lens power for a natural visual transition from distanceto close-up.Multifocal contacts are available in both rigid gas permeable (RGP or GP)and soft lens materials Soft multifocal lenses can be comfortably worn ona part-time basis, so they're great for weekends and other occasions if youprefer not to wear them every day.For the ultimate in convenience, one-day disposable soft multifocal lensesallow you to discard the lenses at the end of a single day of wear, so there'sno hassle with lens care.You're an especially good candidate if you are already used to wearingcontact lenses or if you have already adapted to bifocal, trifocal, orprogressive eyeglass lenses.But really, most people with presbyopia - even those with no contact lensexperience - can wear bifocal contact lenses successfully.To get started with multifocal contact lenses, your eye care practitioner willdetermine your near vision acuity and then choose a design that works bestwith your prescription and lifestyle. As with any new multifocal eyewear,you'll also receive brief training on the best way to use the lenses, as wellas a follow-up appointment to be sure you've adapted to them.

Fall 2012Newsletter

It's a busy time around Glenville, and this editionof the Glenville Newsletter is chock-full ofeconomic development news. As you can see, oureconomic development efforts are starting to payoff as we watch the transformation of ourcommercial corridors continue. This past yearsaw much progress with the new Target openingin Town Center and welcome news that PaneraBread is on its way. The Pig 'n Whistle at theGrove gives our residents yet another place toenjoy a night out with their families.

Of course, our efforts don't end there. We're working with businessowners and developers around the town on various other projectsthat, once complete, will help stabilize our tax base, beautify ourbusiness districts, and give our residents a diverse and rich shoppingexperience.

Some residents have noted the changes and have asked what the townhas done to help support further growth. The first thing we did wasredouble the efforts of our Small Business and EconomicDevelopment Committee (SBED) that was created a few years backto promote economic development and business growth throughoutthe town and village (article on SBED within). Notably, togetherwith the GBPA and others, the SBED helped conduct the town'sThird Annual Oktoberfest this past fall.

The Revitalization and Economic Development Initiative (REDI)Fund was enacted to support business development and expansion.Out of the REDI fund we've had two very successful Sign GrantPrograms in 2011 and 2012 (article on sign grant within), as well asa soon to be unveiled marketing plan for Glenville economicdevelopment.

The Town also recently commissioned a Local DevelopmentCorporation, established to provide low interest loans for start-upbusinesses and expanding companies. The Town has over $575,000to lend through the recent payback of a Small Cities loan to a localbusiness. This fund is not supported by Town money; it comes fromthe State for the purpose of promoting economic development andwe're keeping it here in Glenville.

Also, over the last three years the Town has fostered an attitude ofbusiness-friendliness among its planning and zoning review boards.Zoning amendments favorable to business growth, expeditedapplication review procedures, and a newfound willingness toaccommodate variance requests are three by-products of the Town's"can do" approach. More on this is planned in 2013.

The Town also held its inaugural commercial building and propertypromotional event in April at the Water's Edge Lighthouse. Thiswell-attended event was aimed at commercial realtors and brokers,developers, and real estate professionals. The event included detailedinformation and renderings of over 35 available commercial buildingsand properties in Glenville, bringing together land/building ownerswith individuals and companies who represent commercial andindustrial interests.

Finally, the Board and I have made beautification of our Town Centera focus for this coming year and have committed to upgrading ourinfrastructure with sidewalks throughout the Center with new

New Restaurants Sprouting in GlenvilleA common observation made by Glenville residents isthat the Town does not have enough restaurants, or anadequate variety of eateries. For those who have been clamoring for more choices,Glenville is now home to - or will soon be home to -

three new restaurants. The first restaurant, which has already opened,is the Pig 'n Whistle at the Grove, at 654 Saratoga Road. The Pig 'nWhistle is operating at the site of the former Millstone Speakeasy, andmore notably before that, the Kristel Inn. The Pig 'n Whistle is an Irish-themed restaurant and pub.

“historic-style” lighting. This will transform the Town Center anddeliver an upgraded shopping district for our residents.

As you can see, we have made significant investments in our economicdevelopment efforts, and I believe with Councilman Alan Boulant'sleadership as our economic development liaison, in conjunction withstaff and volunteers, that we will continue to see more success in thenear future. I truly believe that the best is ahead.

Enjoy the fall (and winter)!

owners who replace their business signs with new signs that complywith the Town's zoning regulations. The idea was to provide anincentive for business owners to invest in their properties by havingthe Town fund up to 50% of the cost of a new sign. Grants werecapped at $3,000.

The program was an immediate success, with the following 10businesses taking advantage of the grant opportunity in 2011:

Given the success of the 2011 REDI program, Supervisor Koetzle andthe Town Board opted to renew the program in 2012, with $16,000being set aside specifically for the sign grant program. And onceagain, 10 businesses submitted successful grant applications and wereawarded funding, albeit at a lesser level than in 2011. The followingbusinesses were/will be awarded grants in 2012 (not all signs havebeen installed as of mid-October):

In addition to the above-noted 20 Glenville businesses benefitting fromthe Town's REDI program, three Town-based sign companies(Pendleton Sign Company, Olson Signs & Graphics, and A J Signs)constructed and installed 14 of the 20 new signs.

Assuming all of the businesses that were awarded grants in 2012 installtheir signs by year's end, a total of $131,333 will have been invested innew signs in Glenville in 2011 and 2012, with the Town contributing$43,405 in matching grants. The end result is a more visually appealingbusiness community, and hopefully, a number of Glenville businessesattracting more customers.

Baptist Health Breaks GroundTravelers of lower Swaggertown Road have no doubtnoticed grading and site preparation that recentlybegan on property formerly occupied by theHorstman Farm.

This is the beginning of Phase 1 of the Baptist Health project. The firstphase, to be known as Judson Meadows, consists of 67 assisted livingunits, and it will serve as the nucleus of a five-phase project, to be builtover a period of several years. The five phases are as follows:

Phase 1 67 assisted living units (72 beds)Phase 2 16 “green house” style living units and adult day care (228 beds)Phase 3 84 independent living units and 36 cottage unitsPhase 4 42 additional assisted living units and 36 additional independent

living unitsPhase 5 3 additional green house units (36 beds)

Also, 2.8 acres of the project site have been set aside for commercialdevelopment. Neither the time frame nor the nature of this futurecommercial element has been determined. Baptist will have to undergosite plan review from the Town's Planning & Zoning Commission priorto pursuing the commercial piece of their project.

The existing Baptist Health facility in the Village of Scotia will continueto function as is, for approximately three years, until Phase 2 of the newproject gets built. After Phase 2 is completed, the existing BaptistHealth building will likely be converted to 40-50 units of affordablesenior apartments.

The Town is pleased that Baptist Health has chosen Glenville as thelocation for their multi-million dollar investment.

A Snapshot of the Small BusinessEconomic Development Committee The Town of Glenville has the good fortune of having a number ofcommittees, boards and commissions comprised of dedicated volunteers.

Another restaurant set to open soon is the Creekside Café, at 658Saratoga Road. The Creekside will open at the site of the formerRoadhouse Restaurant. It will be configured as an internet café-typeeatery, and will be open initially for breakfast and lunch. Live musicsuitable for a café setting may eventually be offered at the Creekside.The third restaurant is Panera Bread, which is featured in anotherarticle in this edition of the Newsletter. Panera will be located alongGlenridge Road, next to Target. Assuming construction begins this fall,a summer or early fall 2013 opening is anticipated. For those looking for choices in eateries, the Town is fortunate to havea number of successful homegrown restaurants already operating, anda few new ones getting started.

Panera Bread and New Plaza to Start Construction Soon

The new Target store is up and running, much to the delight of manyGlenville residents. This property sat dormant for several years sinceK-Mart closed its doors in 2006. It is anticipated that Target will bethe catalyst for additional new and exciting businesses in the TownCenter.

We are already starting to witness the positive spin-off developmentthat we expect as a result of Target. As of this writing in October, theTown has finished its review of the building permit for a new 32,500sq. ft. retail plaza to be constructed adjacent to the Target building,on the north side.

Also, Panera Bread has submitted its building permit application tothe Town. The Panera Bread building will be a stand-alone structureand will be located adjacent to Glenridge Road, along the drivewaythat serves both the Post Office and Target. The Glenville PaneraBread will include a drive-through window, which is a little out of thenorm, but not unheard of for Panera. The Glenville Panera willinclude a traditional sit-down dining area.

The retail plaza, which should be under construction this Fall, will bedivided into a number of rental spaces.

Glenville Oktoberfest 2012A success despite the weatherGlenville's third annual Oktoberfest was held on Saturday, September29th, with a final estimate of approximately 3,000 attendees. Theweather was cloudy and cool, with periods of rain, so for the secondyear in a row the conditions were less than ideal. But, the attendees,vendors, crafters, committee and volunteers maintained a cheerydisposition throughout, and the Biergarten in the Richmor Aviationhangar was weatherproof. Thank you to our sponsors! Without theirgenerous financial and in-kind support this free community eventwould not be possible. And special thanks to our volunteercommittee. They work year-round to make Glenville Oktoberfestwell organized and fun, and the success of the event is theirhandiwork. Oktoberfest Picture Credits - Bill P. Studios - Thanks Bill!

A relatively new committee serving the Town is the Small BusinessEconomic Development Committee (SBED). The SBED came tofruition in early 2010 and is comprised of seven Glenville residentsand/or business owners, town elected officials, town staff, and Chamberrepresentation. The Committee is chaired by long-time Glenvilleresident Jim Martin.

The SBED serves at the pleasure of the Town Board, with the TownBoard providing general oversight and direction. The SBED's primarymission is to promote economic development in Glenville, with anemphasis on small business growth. The SBED accomplishes itsmission through the organization of business promotion events,participation in economic development seminars and programs,development of promotional brochures and Town website materials,recruitment of businesses through professional and personal contacts,and the offering of advisory comments on pending Town legislation thatcan impact economic development, most notably proposed zoningamendments.

The most recent effort of the SBED is the newly-formed Glenville LocalDevelopment Corporation (LDC). LDC's can be very influential in theeconomic development arena because they can lend low interest ratefunds to start-up companies and businesses looking to expand. In itsvery early stages, the Glenville LDC has over $500,000 in availablefunding to lend, with the money coming from a recently closed Town-administered Office of Small Cities loan.

The SBED meets on the 3rd Thursday of every month from 7:30 a.m.to 9:00 a.m. at the Glenville Municipal Center. Meetings are open tothe public. Questions and comments may be forwarded to the Town ofGlenville Economic Development Department at 688-1200, ext. 407.

Financial NewsTown improves credit rating in 2012 and saves over $600,000The Town successfully refinanced $3,355,000 in debt in 2012.Thanks to having a commitment to maintaining healthy reserves inthe main funds and a great credit rating review, the Town's ratingincreased from A1 to Aa3. This resulted in a Bond Arbitrage yield of2.23% and no need for insurance on the rating. Further, this resultsin interest savings of $611,674 over 16 years, fund balance savings in2012 of $39,749, and budget savings in 2013 of $37,573 interestexpense. This approximate comparable savings will continue annuallyuntil 2017.

Property Tax Cap InformationThis is the second year of the NY State tax cap and the Town ofGlenville has approved a Preliminary Budget that complies with thetax cap. The tax cap is on the overall combined tax levy of amunicipality, not the tax rate or amount charged to a specific taxpayeror tax fund. It also has a number of formulas, calculations andexclusions. Typical adjustments to the tax cap include exclusion ofpension costs above a 2% increase, an increase in municipalities' “taxbase growth factor,” and carryover of an amount under the tax cap ina preceding year.

From Councilman Sid RamotarI am excited to share information on two initiatives I will spearhead in2013 - a Community Job Fair and Veteran's Assistance.

Job creation remains a key measure of success for economic developmentefforts. A Community Job Fair will be held in an effort to increaseemployment for Glenville residents. Local businesses as well as CapitalRegion companies will be on hand to speak with people about positionsavailable with their company. This Job Fair will have experts on hand toprovide help in areas such as resume writing, interviewing, and marketingyourself for success. The event is planned for Spring of 2013.

The second initiative involves veterans and active military residents. Asa US Marine I have a strong connection with veterans and thosecurrently serving our Country. This initiative addresses CareerDevelopment, Going Back to School, and Home Ownership formilitary personnel and veterans. With the assistance of the businesscommunity we will create a system of "one-stop" shopping. Information

Glenville Parks UpdateMaalwyck - The required archaeological investigation is occurring inOctober/November of this year, with results expected in December.Depending on those results, 2013 could bring construction of thepark's planned improvements, including water, sewer, parking,roadway, second entrance and a pavilion with rest rooms.Indian Meadows - IM Park continues to receive steadyimprovements, including:

• The 5K trail was completed and the Glenville Rotary hostedthe second annual Muddy Sneakers Trail Run (with no mud - toodry) with 150 runners competing.

• BH-BL Girls Softball has seen the addition of a beautiful newfield and renovation of the old field. Planned improvements to occursoon include an access road and parking (finally!) for the girls softball site.

• In May the Scotia-Glenville Lions Club created a “tree farm” atIndian Meadows. The tree farm will continuously provide a stock ofhardy trees for the Glenville park system and other town properties foryears to come. The Lions club planted 220 young tree saplings (~1foot tall) and will raise them to a more hardy size (6-10 feet height) ina protected area of the park. After a few years the trees will betransplanted to their permanent homes in other areas of the park andcommunity.

Trails - All of Glenville's park properties received significant trailrehabilitation this past summer thanks to the efforts of the NortheastParent and Child Society's Career Services Program, underwritten bya National Emergency Grant. The trails, which had all received somedegree of damage from Irene and Lee, were cleared of trees and brush,and widened where possible. Thank you Northeast Parent and ChildSociety! Our trails are now passable and safe.

Glenville Senior Center Long-time (and only) Glenville Senior Center Coordinator CindyAmell resigned to move out of the area recently, and the Town ofGlenville and the not-for-profit Scotia Glenville Senior Citizens, Inc.have jointly conducted a search for a new Coordinator. It is expectedthat the appointment of a new Coordinator will be made in earlyNovember, with the realization that there are some “big shoes” to fill.

Also, the SG Senior Citizens have decided to issue their newsletter“Senior Moments” four times a year versus the previous frequency of sixtimes per year. Although the publication will be less frequent, it will stillcontain everything you need to know about their programs and services.Senior Moments is available at www.townofglenville.org.

Leaf Composting Program - Update

Highway Superintendent Tom Coppola instituted a leaf compostingprogram in 2010. The purpose was two-fold - designate areas for leafcomposting close by to where leaves were being picked up in order toreduce trucking time and avoid disposal costs at fee-charging facilities.

The program will realize a third benefit in 2013. The compostedmaterial will be sold wholesale with the revenue being “plowed back”into highway and park operations. Some material will be utilized by thetown for roadside repairs after plowing season and for park needs. Areasutilized for this program are Indian Meadows Park, the Anderson Park(VanBuren/Swaggertown) and the old landfill (Barhydt Rd.).

Retail sales to the public are not planned due to added complexities ofsite safety, money handling, staffing, etc.

From the Building Department...Paul Borisenko, Building InspectorA message worth repeating - smoke detectors and carbon monoxidedetectors save lives. The New York State Building code requiressmoke detectors on every level of your house or dwelling unit. Theyneed to be installed in every sleeping area and immediately outside ofthe sleeping areas. Carbon monoxide detectors can be used incombination with smoke detectors and must be on every level with aCO producing appliance, sleeping area, or attached garage. They

must be located within 15 feet of all sleeping room doors. If yourhouse was not required to have hardwired smoke and CO detectorswhen it was built, then battery powered devices are allowed.

Carbon monoxide is the leading cause of accidental poisoning in theUnited States. Each year approximately 200 people in New York Stateare hospitalized because of accidental CO poisoning. Carbonmonoxide is a silent killer - you cannot see it, smell it, or taste it. Theonly safe way to detect it is with a carbon monoxide alarm.

You should replace your smoke detector every ten years. Your carbonmonoxide detector has a life span of 5 - 7 years before you shouldreplace it. Keeping you and your family safe is a never ending task,but considering the potential consequences, the effort is well worth it.

From the Assessor’s Office...Property tax exemption applications may be obtained at the Assessor's Office weekdays between 9:00-5:00PM or from the NewYork State Office of Real Property Services on the web at:http://www.tax.ny.gov/pit/property/exemption/index.htm

Back on October 13 and 14th, The Adirondack SoaringAssociation and Freedom's Wings International hosted itsannual event that provides a unique opportunity for peoplewith disabilities to take to the air and soar the sky's over Saratoga County.Based in Pennsylvania, Freedom's Wings International is a non profitorganization that has been around for over 30 years. Their sole purpose isto bring the world of soaring to the disabled.

Juergen Klingenberg, a licensed private pilot and member of ASA since2003 was the spokesperson for the event on that day, Juergen along withmany members from the association, coordinated the generous effort aseach person took a turn in the front seat of a specially equipped sailplane.Unencumbered by the wheelchairs or walkers they left on the ground,these people experienced the freedom of flight on a great day, hosted bygreat people.

Freedom's Wings International became involved with the club 4 years agoand witnessing the smiles and reaction of those individuals makes all theefforts worth it. Being the father of a child with a disability, Juergenunderstood the disappointments and hardships brought on by thosedisabilities. There was no greater proof of that than last summer, whenvisiting the Great Escape in Queensbury with his daughter Teagan, a 7 yearold, with Down syndrome, who was running between the rides, slides androllercoaster's, laughing and just being a typical kid. On several of theirtrips to the lines, they passed a woman sitting next to a young teenagerin a motorized wheelchair who was obviously watching what he assumedwas a younger sibling enjoying himself on the rides. The young boys facelooked sad, longing to participate, but his obvious disability made thatimpossible, as the mother could not lift him into the rides and the parkattendants where ill-equipped for dealing with the issue.

On one of his trips past the family, he stopped and introduced himself asa pilot with the Adirondack Soaring Association to Trish, the mom andbriefly spoke to her about the FWI's event held each fall in Saratoga,explaining that he would be more than happy to provide her 14 year oldson Kyle with an experience like no other. As it turned out, Kyle was oneof the individuals who flew this year at the event.

As he strapped Kyle into the Glider, Juergen recalled that his facedisplayed a mix of fear and excitement, not knowing what the experiencewould bring... His flight lasted just under 30 minutes, and when hereturned to the ground, the fear was gone, replaced with a smile andbrightness of joy in his eyes. Both his parents stood and waited withanticipation for him to return with Trish holding back tears of joy and abroad smile. The disability of individuals attending may differ, but theexperience is repeated with each and every flight. And THAT is whyJuergen participates in Freedom's Wings International and asked me tocover it for YOUR HOMETOWNE. I was honored and privileged to do thatand while watching the event unfold, Juergen offered me a flight as wasthe cameraman from channel 13. I JUMPED at the offer; I have been upmany times in prop planes and even a hang glider but never a sailplane.

Strapping into the front seat of a Blanik Trainer, I found itto be a tight fit, but comfortable, the flight instruments areminimal, an altimeter, variometer, a compass, a stick on the

floor and foot pedals as well as a peculiar red thing on the outside of thecanopy, my Instructor/Pilot pointed out that in addition to the viewoutside, that red plastic strip on the glass canopy is the one of the moreimportant instruments, it is called a "Yaw String" and it tells the pilot thatthe controls are "coordinated" and the fuselage is perfectly aligned withthe airflow, therefore producing an absolutely minimum drag - criticallyimportant for maximizing performance.

Once the 200ft towline was hooked to the nose, the tow plane fired upand rolled us down the airstrip, we were off the ground amazingly quickand on the way up to the 2500ft release altitude, where the instructorpulled a handle, releasing us from the plane to begin our peaceful andquiet ride, gently circling the airport in search of a thermal, a rising currentof air that would lift us higher.

While chatting with the pilot, I found that Jeff was a local guy who livesin Niskayuna and had a lifelong passion for flying that went back to hisdays in elementary school building model planes with a teacher namedMr. Eckert in 6th grade at Lincoln School in Scotia, I was stunned, my pilotJeff Stringer and I went to school together from 3rd grade on and hadn'tseen him since graduating in 1968, save one time at our 25th reunion. Asmall world indeed!

Deciding to fly at age 13 against parents advice, he continued buildingmodels and dreaming of flight, he finally took a ride in a power plane atage 18, and began learning gliders in 1975 at Saratoga County Airport byjoining the Mohawk Soaring club who launched their planes back thenwith a winch, making for much shorter flights than they get today,however just as much fun. He stuck with his passion and got licensed in1976 and has been an instructor since the 90's with the AdirondackSoaring Association.

As Jeff searched for a thermal, the "stepping stones in the sky" he pointedout that a pilot can "hop" from one thermal to another and make longcross-country soaring flights in the right sailplane, usually a fiberglass shipwith more instruments, a plane reserved for more advanced pilots.

On a good day, a pilot can easily make flights of 100 miles or more,reaching altitudes over 15,000 ft, and eventually return to the homeairfield in Saratoga. Flights of over 300 hundred miles have been madefrom Saratoga County Airport! One of their members was the first pilot tofly a Diamond Distance Triangle from Saratoga, to Stowe, VT, Pittsfield,MA, and return without landing, a 330 mile flight that averaged 60+ mph.Not bad for no engine!!! My intention is to join this club and get mylicense, they are a superb group of people who love their sport and I amthe type who dives headlong into my dream. After riding Harleys since1968, I am all over this one and can't wait to soar!...Stay Tuned.

GEEK TIP OF THE MONTH:HOW TO BUY ONLINE SAFELYWith the holidays fast approaching, onlineshopping has evolved into an accepted and safe

way to buy goods and services.However, some people are still unsure about how to buy online safely.How do you make sure that a site is safe to use?First, only do your searching on mainstream search engines, suchas Google, Yahoo etc.Delete any incoming mass-marketing emails with links to shoppingsites. Sites that look totally legitimate could exist for a few days, takingmoney from unsuspecting customers, and then simply vanish.Patronize online businesses that give you their contactinformation.If a company won't post an address or phone number, they probablyhave something to hide. This information should be accessible on their"Contact" page, or at the bottom of their homepage. If you have anydoubts about the legitimacy of a site, pick up the phone and call themto ask questions.Here are a few more suggestions:Ask Questions: Send the company an email with a question and seehow quickly they answer. If you don't receive an answer within a day ortwo, then I would proceed with caution.Credit Cards: Using credit cards online is safe if you follow some basicrules. When you enter the shopping cart part of a site, look to make surethat the site changes to a secure location. The secure site willsometimes display a locked (looks like a closed padlock) icon and theaddress should appear as an https (with an S) rather than simply httpin the address box.Payment Methods: With a check or money order you have littlerecourse in case an item arrives broken or never arrives at all. Using acredit card will mean that you have the ability to dispute the purchaseand as the buyer you will usually prevail.Secure a credit card with a small amount of available credit (like $500max) and use that for online purchases only.It is important to read the fine print when making an online purchase.Read their return policy on their check-out page.Reputable companies should never share or sell your information to athird party. Companies that want you to return as a customer willpledge to keep your information confidential.As always, Safe computing until next time.

DECORATING TIPS FROMTHE SPECKLED HEN Each month I share “Decorating Tips from TheSpeckled Hen” to help you discover new waysto decorate your home with primitives. If youalready have a primitive home, I'll help add toit with fresh ideas! Last month we discussed

the entrance to your home, this month let's tackle the living room.

The primitive living room is a place that, years ago, was the heart of thehome. Today we use it as a place to relax and enjoy the company of others.Here are a few ideas on how you can decorate your primitive living room ina way that will speak comfort, coziness and contentment.

Let's start with the mantel - there are so many possibilities! If you don'thave a traditional mantel, you can decorate the top of a book shelf,entertainment stand or windowsill. Change it up from season to season,especially if the mantel is the focal point of your room. Candles, old framedphotos, an antique clock or mirror will look great on your mantel. Laygreens, berry vines or bittersweet - maybe intertwine a string of lightsbeneath. If you don't have a large primitive piece, hang a seasonal wreathabove the mantel.

For the walls of your living room, hang pieces that you can switch out as theseasons change. I have some gorgeous folk-art prints by acclaimed artistBilly Jacobs. Each depicts a different landscape in lovely color and detail. Theprints come ready to hang and have the look and feel of canvas. These old-fashioned prints are a unique (and affordable) piece of art for your home.

Use simple window treatments that are not fussy or flowery. Hang valances,side panels or half curtains made from cotton or lightweight burlap.Curtains in your primitive living room can be tied back with raffia, lace,twine, or country style ribbons. Use your imagination and don't be afraid totry something new or different - you'll be surprised with what you can comeup with!

I'm constantly checking out local yard sales and flea markets to come upwith new looks. Invest some time into scouting out classic older pieces atsecond hand stores, garage sales, and country auctions. Many antiquedealers offer primitive furniture that is one-of-a-kind. Select furniture that issimple and functional. Choose pieces that have a distressed, dull paintfinish. Use antique benches as end tables and old crates or wooden chestsas coffee tables. Complete the look with unique primitive accents - likethose found at The Speckled Hen.

These ideas and suggestions are in addition to the many items featured inThe Speckled Hen. I've received new shipments of Thanksgiving andChristmas décor, tablecloths, candles, signage, country pillows and muchmore! I've enjoyed helping you choose the perfect gifts and home items -and can't wait to see you during your next visit to The Speckled Hen.

Welcome BABY WILLIAM IVES

September 25th, 2012



Brian Craig has always wanted to run his own successful small business. Thejourney to realizing this dream was a long one. Faced with tough financialtimes back in 2002, he decided to pick up a second job working evenings ata liquor store. He took to the work quickly and reveled in the customerinteractions. Over the next few years his daughter Lyssa, son Jurian and son-in-law Ernie enjoyed stints in this same store. Throughout the family's timethere, Brian often talked about what it might be like to own his own storesomeday. A born salesman with an entrepreneurial spirit, he decided to takethe jump into store ownership.

His idea was to open a wine and spirits store that reflected the PlatinumRule-to treat others the way THEY want to be treated. As a customer, youshould be able to come in, feel at home and get what you came for-whetherthat means suggestions tailored to your needs or space to browse on yourown- without feeling pressured; you should feel like the store is your ownpersonal wine cellar. After several years drawing up their business plan,scouting the perfect location and learning as much as possible about thebusiness, Brian opened the doors to Personal Wine Cellar on October 24th2011 with son-in-law Ernie running daily operations.

Personal Wine Cellar's slogan is “Not the biggest, just the best!”, and thePWC family prides themselves on living up to it with a clean, well-stockedstore and personalized customer service. Having between them over 20 yearsof experience in the industry, it is important to PWC to provideknowledgeable assistance, competitive prices, unique services and specialevents, all in a welcoming atmosphere.

The store is bright and spacious, but also comfortable and homey with twoseating areas, unique decorations (some handmade and gifted by family), aselection of Brian's antiques collection. It's easy to spend a while therebrowsing and chatting with the friendly and knowledgeable staff.

In addition to providing a personalized shopping experience, PWCcontinues to expand their services to include free and low-cost events. Onthe second Thursday of each month you can attend Wine 101, a 30-45minute class that shows you how to taste and pair wines, taught by wineexpert Greg Giorgio. For $8 in advance ($10 day of event), you get the class,three carefully selected wine samples and your own glass to keep. Thesecond Sunday of each month features the FREE Cooking with Spirit series,where an executive chef stops by to prepare a dish that features a wine orspirit as an ingredient. After the demonstration, samples and recipes areavailable for all.

There are fun weekly promotions as well. PWC employee Hillary offersMunchie Mondays, by doling out samples of a spirit themed snack or dessert.Next is Tasty Tuesdays, where Lyssa reviews a wine in her tasting blog: TheCasual Wine Taster (casualwinetaster.blogspot.com). The wine reviewedmakes an appearance at the store on “Thirsty” Thursdays for customer's tosample in the store. Then for Wits Wednesdays Ernie poses a fun triviaquestion on the PWC Facebook page (facebook.com/PWCGlenville),offering a FREE bottle of wine to the first person to answer correctly, andthe first person to answer most creatively. Every week on Friday or SaturdayPWC also hosts a free wine or spirits tasting. Check out the tasting calendarfor details (www.pwcglenville.com).

My name is Gayle Bennett and I have been doing custom picture framingfor 12 years. After majoring in Art History at college, I was searching for away to utilize my knowledge of art in a creative way. In 1998, I took theMat Design and Picture Framing Course at the Canadian Picture FramersSchool in Barrie, Ontario. To gain practical experience, I worked in thePicture Framing Department at MJ Designs in Clifton Park, NY. I returnedto Canada in the Spring of 1999 to take the Advanced Framing Course.Armed with practical skills and boundless enthusiasm, I was off to thesmall Adirondack town of Big Moose to start my own business. I returnedto the Albany area in the Fall of 1999 and opened a new shop in BallstonLake. I have been at the current location on Route 50 for eight years.A little philosophy I believe in:

• Providing Personal Service to each customer• Educating Customers to help them make the Best Decision

regarding the treatment of their art• Dedicating myself to being Up-to-date and Knowledgeable about

the current products of the framing industry• Using only Quality Products in conjunction with Fine Workmanship

to exceed the customer's expectation• Supporting the Community and the Environment by donating all

useable scraps to Local Schools and Artisans
