JIMINO ANNOUNCES

COUNTY COATS FOR KIDS PROGRAMRensselaer County Executive Kathleen M. Jimino has announcedthe results of this year’s Coats for Kids program that willdistribute 553 new coats to children throughout the County.The annual program is administered by the Department forYouth and relies upon a summertime golf outing supported bylocal businesses to raise the funds to purchase the new coats.The County distributes the coats with the assistance of localorganizations to help ensure those children in need of a coatget one while preventing overlap or duplication. Distribution iscurrently ongoing and will be completed by the week afterThanksgiving. “A warm winter coat is not a luxury and this program helpsensure that every child in need of a winter coat has one. Iwant to commend all of the local businesses who have helpedsupport this program as well as organizations who partner withus on this program and work day in and day out to support thechildren in our communities,” said Rensselaer County ExecutiveKathleen M. Jimino.Since the program’s inception in 2001, nearly 5,000 coats havebeen distributed. Once again, this year the coats werepurchased at a discounted price through Lodges and wrappedby county employees volunteering their time and materials.

Letter to the Editor: 73 years ago, out of the clear blue sky,Japanese fighter planes appeared and devastated PearlHarbor. They killed more than 2000 American soldiers andsailers and injured another 1000. My letter is a reminder toeveryone who cares, that Sunday, the 7th, is Pearl HarborRemembrance Day. It is an important day to remember andrecognize those who died and sacrificed that day. As thesurvivors become fewer and fewer, it’s up to the rest of us tokeep the memory alive. I hope that everyone will join me inlowering the American flag on that day as a sign of mourning.To follow proper flag etiquette, lower your flag to half-staff atsunrise and raise it back to full-staff at sunset on that day.~ Cheryl Rings, Gettysburg Flag Works

I will beback next week with another Warrior athletics update.If you have any questions at all, please feel free to email me [email protected]. Go Warriors!

I am happy to introducethis week’s scholarathlete, Alex Lambright.Alex mental ly andphysical ly preparedherself for the cross-country season bygetting excited aboutimproving her speed.This fall, was Alex’s firstyear running cross-country. She decided torun cross-countrybecause she wanted totry something new andher friends had alwaysasked her to run it withthem. On cross-country,

Alex runs the 5k, which was new for her because Alex is asprinter for the track team.In school, Alex is taking AP Biology, AP Government, AP English,and Calculus. Currently, Alex has a GPA of 93. For college,Alex plans on majoring in biology under the pre-veterinaryprogram.Both Coach Luskin and Coach Brown have been an inspirationto Alex. When asked about how her coaches have inspired her,Alex said, “I would never have come as far as I have withoutthem. They both have shown me what I am really capable of.”To Alex, being a scholar athlete is an honor; it means that youhave worked hard in both school and athletics. “I have readthe other articles and it is surreal to be one as well,” Alex saidwhen asked about her reaction to becoming a scholar athlete.Congratulations and good luck to Alex in the rest of her senior

year.

Our contact at the St. Paul’sCenter said the women were thrilled with what they received.The other three baskets were distributed to families who calledSt. Timothy’s for assistance during the holidays.Many thanks to the members of St. Timothy’s, whose greatgenerosity made all this possible.
