FFA IS ONE OF THE LARGEST YOUTH

ORGANIZATIONS IN U.S.

Letter to the Editor: FFA was originally known as the FutureFarmers of American and in 1988; the name changed to theNational FFA Organization. A group of young farmers foundedFFA in 1928. These young farmers wanted to prepare futuregenerations for the challenges of feeding a growing population.They taught members that agriculture is more than plantingand harvesting—it is a science, it is a business and it is an art.FFA is now more than just farming by helping its membership todevelop and explore their future career plans, involving food,fiber, engineering, science and technology. An FFA chaptermay be chartered in any public school with an agriculturaleducation program. Today FFA is one of the largest youthorganizations in the United States, with over 540,000 membersin 7,439 chapters throughout all 50 states, Puerto Rico, andthe Virgin Islands. FFA is the largest of the career and technicalstudent organizations in US schools working in cooperation withthe U.S. Department of EducationMy friend and fellow Dairy Princess, Breana Scribner is theTreasurer for the FFA chapter at Greenwich Central SchoolDistrict. Breana and I have worked together on various DairyPrincess Events including Barbeque and Bands Family Picnic,Tour de Farm, and American Dairy Association and Dairy CouncilDistrict Meeting. To get more information about FFA go towww.ffa.org So why do I tell you about programs that involvefarming? These programs help prepare the youth of our countryto be good stewards of the land, to take care of our animalsand learn the benefits and nutritional value of wholesomeproducts like milk. When I am involved in an event many peoplewant to know how they can become involved, Organizationslike FFA, The Dairy Princess Program and 4H are a great way tostart.~ Courtney Luskin, Rensselaer County Dairy PrincessEditors Note: The above article does not necessarily reflect theopinion or endorsement of the Editor or the Staff of THEADVERTISER, and for all intents and purposes is impossible toverify the truth and veracity of its contents.

Greetings to residents of the City of Troy. We are happy to

provide constituents with a report on actions taken at the De-

cember 11, 2012 legislative meeting.

There was a considerable amount of activity during December,

including adoption of a 2013 county budget on December 3

that is below the state tax cap and protects needed county

services.

Legislators joined with the County Executive to reduce the

amount of a tax increase, bringing the increase to the lowest in

the Capital Region, at a minimal 1.25 percent. The 2013 bud-

get is the second adopted by the county to comply with the

state tax cap. The budget is also the latest to be adopted

without promised reform of state and federal mandates.

The budget protects revenues relied on by the City of Troy,

and county services that Collar City residents depend on. The

2013 budget also safeguards the county’s strong fiscal stand-

ing and positive bond rating.

Following the budget adoption meeting, legislators met Decem-

ber 8 and adopted resolutions to strengthen various public

safety services and functions, and services for seniors, includ-

ing van transportation. We also welcomed Abigail Blair and her

family to congratulate her on being crowned Troy High School

Homecoming Queen.

Legislators also met on December 18 for a year-end meeting.

We began the meeting with a moment of silence for the victims

of the senseless attack on Sandy Hook Elementary School in

Newtown, Connecticut.

At the December 18 meeting, we approved repairs to the Mon-

roe Street pump station operated by the county sewer district.

The sewer district played a major role in helping create 300

new jobs at the Regeneron facility in East Greenbush. We also

approved a resolution to expand efforts by the county to stop

welfare fraud and abuse.

The Legislature also sponsored the 17th annual Christmas Party

for children at the Vanderheyden Hall youth residential facility

on December 14. The party brings the holiday spirit to kids

unable to return home for the holidays and is staged with con-

tributions from legislators and local businesses.

Best wishes on a happy and safe holiday season and a great

and prosperous 2013. The next meeting of the Rensselaer

County Legislature is Tuesday, January 8, 2013. Residents can

contact legislators at the legislative offices by writing to the

Rensselaer County Legislature, 1600 7th Avenue, Troy NY 12180

or by e-mailing us via the official legislative website at

www.rensselaercounty.org.

Home Improvement

Guide

SEVEN INEXPENSIVE WAYS TO UPDATE

A HOME NOW

Oftentimes, buying a home opens up a bottomless pit ofopportunities for projects and improvements. While somehomeowners engage in different repairs and fix-ups out ofnecessity, many others like to freshen-up their spaces out ofpersonal preference instead of need. But even the most well-intentioned projects can be waylaid if budgets are tight.What many homeowners may not realize is that there aremany ways to make updates and changes to a home that donot require a major overhaul or a large price tag. The followingare seven projects that won’t break the bank.1. Move around furniture. You may be able to change the lookof a room without spending any money. Interior designersknow how to arrange furniture for maximum appeal, but theaverage homeowner can do it, too. Find a focal point in theroom and angle the furniture toward it. Don’t make the focalpoint the television, however. Try changing the placement ofchairs and sofas. Simply moving a curio cabinet from one cornerto another may also make a difference.2. Add lighting. Lighting at different levels in the room cancreate a vibrant impact. Many homeowners mistakenly put in acouple of table lamps and think that will be adequate. However,properly illuminating a room means varying the lighting to createdifferent moods at different times. Plus, more light can make aroom feel more welcoming.3. Add new pillows or drapes. Changing a few aspects of aroom can give it an entirely new look. If you want to add asplash of color but don’t know what to do, think aboutincorporating some new throw pillows or change the curtains.An accessory here and there in a bright color also can incorporatea new hue without it being overwhelming.4. Change knobs or small accents. Give a room a new look byfocusing on the small details. Switch out cabinet knobs forsomething updated and modern. Take inventory of wall outletsand light switches and think about selecting new ones thatcoordinate with your home decor.5. Use plants. Empty corners or spots you’re not certain howto fill may benefit from a plant. Plants are inexpensive ways toadd instant color and visual appeal to a room. Plus, having liveplants can help improve indoor air by filtering out contaminants.A home with plants also feels more cozy.6. Hang new wall art. It may be time to look at your photos andartwork and make a few adjustments. Finding new prints tohang could instantly change a room’s ambience. And you needn’tspend a lot of money on professional photography, either.Grab your camera and take a few close-up shots of flowers ortake in a landscape scenery. Many of today’shome printerscan produce professional-quality prints in minutes.7. Try a new coat of paint. After you’ve exhausted otheravenues, choosing a new paint color may be the new look youdesire. Painting is one of the least expensive yet most dramaticmethods of changing ahome’s interior. With dozens of hues tochoose from, and new apps that enable you to take snapshotsof things in nature or in your life and match them up to a paintcolor, you will have scores of opportunities to explore freshnew colors for your home.When you get inspired to make improvements to the home butfear how much it may take out of your wallet, considerinexpensive tricks that can induce a big “wow” factor.

MAKE YOUR HOME MORE ENERGY-

EFFICIENT

Did you know that being green saves money, especially aroundthe house? Homeowners annually lose hundreds of dollars toinefficient appliances and a drafty home. Making simple changescan benefit the planet and your bottom line.Choose the right appliancesAppliances in your home as well as certain behaviors can have aconsiderable impact on how much energy is consumed. The EnergyInformation Administration reports that the average home usesapproximately 1,000 kilowatt hours (kwh) each month. Kwh ismeasured by multiplying the number of 1,000 watts of electricityused by the number of hours the device is in use.Every appliance has a different measure of electricity usage. Hereare some examples of common appliances in the home and howmuch energy they consume in one hour, courtesy of Bright Hub.Electric clothes dryer: 6,000 watts; Washing machine: 425 watts;Refrigerator : 188 watts; Dishwasher: 200 watts; Central AC: 6,000watts; Window AC: 1,300 watts; Flat screen TV: 150 watts; LCDTV: 213 watts; Vacuum: 1,100 watts; Freezer: 273 watts; Waterheater: 473 watts; Toaster oven: 1,200 watts; Coffeemaker: 1,200watts; Desktop computer: 95 watts; DVD player: 25 watts; Cablebox: 20 watts; Laptop: 50 wattsSelecting energy-efficient appliances and using them in aconservative manner can reduce energy usage and the cost ofyour monthly utility bill. Try to run high-wattage appliances duringthe evening or early-morning hours when energy rates may bereduced. Also, if the weather will be warm, running these appliancesduring cooler hours prevents the home from heating up evenmore — possibly requiring the additional use of an air conditioner.Unplug appliances when they’re not in use to avoid vampire drain.Many appliances still draw a small amount of power even whenturned off. Also, be sure to properly insulate and position appliancesso they can run at the highest level of efficiency.

NAMI RENSSELAER ADDS A FAMILY

SUPPORT GROUP IN AVERILL PARK

The worst part of having a family member with mental illness isthe stigma and loneliness. If we told our family and friendsthat our loved one had cancer or other serious disease, theywould be surrounding us with support, cooking meals, and doinganything to make our life a little easier. When we talk to othersabout mental illness, it is almost like we said we had a seriouscontagious disease. No one wants to talk about it and manytimes, we suffer alone. We offer a place you can talk withoutjudgment and get some much needed support. We understandbecause we are peers… we all have someone who is sufferingfrom the effects of mental illness. Nothing is taboo and wehave lots of information/brochures to share. SUPPORT IS FREE…You don’t have to “sign up” and you come and go as you needto. Please join as at either location or at both. Our newestlocation is The Church of the Covenant (the Round Church) onRoute NY 43 in Averill Park on the Third Wednesday of eachmonth. We meet 6:30pm to 8:00pm. We will continue to holdour bi-monthly Support Group meetings at the SUNYA School ofPublic Health, One University Place, Rensselaer, NY 12144 onthe first and third Wednesdays of each month. Again, thisgroup meets 6:30pm to 8pm. If you would like more informationon our support groups, or just need to vent prior to a meeting,please call Mary Beth at 588-6949 or Mary at 227-6701.
