notes from the SUPERVISOR’S OFFICE
November is the month that really brings the full
change of seasons to us, and it is a month where
things are very busy for people here in Guilderland.
The Guilderland Highway Department is fully
involved these days in the Town’s annual leaf
collection program. Our leaf vacuum trucks are
circulating throughout the neighborhoods where
they are able to operate, picking up leaves on the
scheduled dates for the neighborhoods, plus making
additional swings through diff erent areas as their
schedule allows. Highway Department crews will be
picking up bagged leaves in neighborhoods where
the vacuum trucks cannot operate. Your street’s
pick-up dates were printed in the Town newsletter
mailed to all our residents in September. If you
didn’t note the pickup dates when you received
the newsletter, you can check on the Town website,
www.townofguilderland.org.
Please be sure that leaves are placed in the street
adjacent to your curb line to avoid damage to Town
equipment, and show concern for your neighbors
and our Town work crews by not piling leaves in a
way that restricts visibility. Also, branches and brush
set out for pickup needs to be cut into pieces no more
than 4 feet long and tied into bundles that a single
worker can readily pick up for collection. If you have
any questions, please call the Highway Department
at 861-5108.
I have presented the 2012 Town Supervisor’s Draft
Budget to the members of the Guilderland Town
Board, which will vote on it at its meeting on
Thursday, November 10. The continuation of diffi cult
times in the national and regional economy, along
with New York State’s imposition of a cap on the
property tax levy, have caused the Town to scrutinize
costs very carefully in every area, and to scrupulously
avoid being overly optimistic in projecting revenues.
This approach has resulted in a draft budget that
leaves the Town tax rate unchanged at 26 cents per
thousand dollars of assessed valuation again in 2012.
In order to accomplish this, Town employees and
elected offi cials will once again receive no raises in
2012, and several positions have been converted
from full-year to seasonal status, but there are no
changes proposed in the range or the level of services
provided for our residents.
Each year, I
like to take the
opportunity to
encourage residents
to keep up on Town
aff airs by watching
Town government
meetings on
Channel 17 on
the local cable
television networks.
Town Board
meetings take place
on the fi rst and third Tuesdays of each month, and
are broadcast live on Channel 17. These meetings are
rebroadcast at 1:00 and 7:30 P.M. on the following
Friday, and at 7:00 P.M. on the following Saturday.
The Zoning Board of Appeals meets on the fi rst and
third Wednesday of the month. These meetings
are broadcast live, then replayed at 1:00 P.M. the
following Thursday and at 7:00 P.M. the following
Saturday. The Planning Board meets on the second
and fourth Wednesday of the month, with live
broadcasts of its meetings, as well as replays the
following Thursday at 1:00 P.M. and the following
Saturday at 7:00 P.M. Altamont’s Village Board meets
at 7:00 P.M. on the fi rst Tuesday of the month, and
its meetings are taped for rebroadcast at 11:00 A.M.
and 5:00 P.M. on the Thursday and Saturday after the
meetings.
With Thanksgiving occurring in November, I think that
this time of year is a time when all of us in Guilderland
can take time to refl ect on all that we have to be
thankful for in a community like our own. I would like
to take this opportunity to extend my wishes for a
happy Thanksgiving to all of Guilderland’s residents
and their families.

November in the chamber world is consumed with a health insurance
ac vity called OPEN ENROLLMENT. We get new plans, new rates, and chamber members who wants to make changes to this me can do so. We have very good news from our insurance carrier, CDPHP, that while some rates are increasing a teeny bit, others are actually going down in price! If you or anyone you know who owns a business wants to look at our new rates, they can go to our website at www.guilderlandchamber.com/insurance.html to view them. We even have a high deduc ble plan (like major medical) that only costs $103 a month!!!
We had a busy month in October doing grand opening ribbon cu ngs, and do have a few more, including TCBY on 11/11/11! TCBY low fat frozen yogurt is not a new thing, but it is located right next to Five Guys on Western Ave and is healthy in a very health conscious me. This ribbon cu ng is open to the public, school is off that day, and there will be free 3 oz TCBY, face pain ng, balloons and more from Friday Nov 11 through Sun Nov. 13. We also have heard rumors that we are ge ng a deli at the old Wendy’s, a Super Cuts at the 20 Mall (Hamilton Square) and s ll rumors that Recovery Room is coming there too!
The chamber has some great networking events- at Central Steak on Nov. 9, a women’s business luncheon with Dr Mark Hillman at the Pine Bush Discovery Center on Nov. 16, a Friday Business Breakfast open to anyone about websites and internet marke ng on Dec 2, and a bus trip to New York City Dec 3, also open to anyone.
For details and costs on these events, go to www.guilderlandchamber.com/calendar.html

Guilderland, NY - It is no secret that the Guilderland
real estate market has changed dramatically
over the past several years. Currently there are
approximately 282 existing single family homes for
sale in Guilderland ranging in price from $89,900 to
$1,600,000 with a median list of price of $352,450.
Approximately 198 existing homes closed during
2011 as of the end of October, with a median sale
price of $224,149. On average about 20 homes sold
each month in Guilderland in 2011. Based on this
absorption rate and the current inventory we have
over a year supply of homes currently on the market.
The days of putting a sign in the ground and having
multiple off ers in 24 hours ended for the most part,
in 2006. Today, a real estate agent needs to be a
strategist that can position your home correctly to
reach the right buyer. However, not all real estate
agents are the same and many homeowners simply
don’t know what questions to ask when hiring an
agent. Picking the right agent can lead to a wonderful
experience that gets you moving on with your life.
However, hiring the wrong agent can literally cost
you thousands of dollars and put your life on hold for
months! If you are considering selling a home it pays
to know what questions to ask your agent before you
sign any paperwork.
As the market slowed over the past several years,
many real estate agents failed to adapt to the market
changes and continued to conduct business “as
usual”. Over the past 12 months we have sold many
homes in days, that were listed with other agents
for six months or more without a sale. We did it by
doing things diff erently and not simply putting a
sign in the ground hoping the best. The experience
made us aware of how the market has changed and
how real estate agents need to adapt. In response to
the market changes and questions from our clients,
we have compiled a free report “13 Things your
Agent must do to Maximize your Profi ts”. These are
13 items you simply must ask any real estate agent
about before you hire them. Doing so can literally
save you thousands of dollars! This report is available
free of charge by calling our hotline 24 hours a day. In
addition, for an update on current market conditions
visit us at www.guilderlandmarkettrends.com for a
real time market update specifi c to your home and
neighborhood.

intended as a solicitation of that listing.

COMMUNITY CAREGIVERS TO HONOR ALBANY COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY
DAVID SOARES, PASTOR CHARLIE MULLER AND CHARLES TOUHEY
A Harvest Happening is the theme of the 17th annual gala to benefi t Community Caregivers, which will be held at Albany Country Club on Saturday, November 19.
The annual gala is one of two major events to raise funds for Community Caregivers. This year’s event will honor three men who are community leaders in their own right.
District Attorney David Soares and Pastor Charlie Muller will receive the Community Caregivers Public Service Award.
Charles Touhey will receive the Joseph A. Bosco Community Service Award.
DA Soares was elected Albany County District Attorney in 2001 and re-elected in 2008. During his two terms in offi ce,
Mr. Soares has redefi ned the role of the District Attorney to emphasize public integrity and crime prevention. He also has shifted the criminal enterprise prosecution paradigm by taking action against the leaders of organizations instead of low-level off enders.
Some of his initiatives include: Seniors and Law Enforcement Together (S.A.L.T.), addressing crimes committed against senior citizens, and to help prevent crimes of opportunity against one of our most vulnerable populations.
The Community Accountability Board, which empowers community members to take responsibility for the quality of life in their neighborhoods.Pastor Charlie Muller is best known in the Capital Region for starting the fi rst ever Gun Buy Back Program in Albany. To date the program has taken over 350 handguns from the streets of Albany and Schenectady. A recent study in 2010 showed that there was not one homicide in the city of Albany during the year with a handgun.
Pastor Charlie established the Victory Christian Church in Albany and recently opened a second church located in Colonie.
His passion is clearly for needy children, building and opening the fi rst Children’s Only Feeding Center in Albany. To date there have been over 400,000 meals served to at-risk inner-city children.
In 2010, he received the Boys & Girls Club Community Impact Award.
Charlie Touhey has been a main stay in Capital Region for many years. He has extensive experience in the private sector with an emphasis on real estate and housing. He currently is Managing Partner of The Latham Four Partnership and oversees one million square feet of offi ces and distribution facilities in New York and Florida. He has also developed several residential subdivisions using such innovations as modular housing. In addition, he is also Vice President of Orange Motor Company, as well as the President of The Spare Room, Inc. a mini-storage facility with over 3,000 units.
At the present time Mr. Touhey is supervising construction of 50 new owner-occupied two family homes in Arbor Hill. He is a member of the College of Saint Rose Board of Trustees and a Board member of the Albany Center for Economic Success, a small business incubator, which assists women and minority entrepreneurs in starting up new enterprises.
Sponsors for the event include: Adirondack Environmental Services, Christopher J. Cassidy and Wells Fargo Advisors, PBR Graphics, NBT Bank, St. Peter’s Health Care Systems, Netrition Inc, Selkirk Cogen, Times Union, Berkshire Bank, Max E. Churma, S2S Enterprises, Norman and Micki Massry and The Nigro Companies.
Tickets for the gala are $100 per person. In addition to cocktails and dinner, there will be a silent and live auction.For more information on sponsorships or to donate an auction item please call 456-2898.

from the RANDALL LAW FIRM
ADVANCE MEDICAL DIRECTIVESThe law recognizes that we have a fundamental right to consent
to or refuse medical treatment. But what happens when we
are unable to communicate our wishes with respect to medical
treatment?
The law provides that we can execute certain documents in
advance that can facilitate the process. We will discuss two of
them, health care proxies and living wills, in this article.
Q. What is a health care proxy?
A. A health care proxy is a document that appoints someone to
be your health care agent. A health care agent can make medical
decisions on your behalf.
Q. When does the health care proxy become eff ective?
A. A health care proxy becomes eff ective only after a doctor
determines that you are unable to communicate your wishes
yourself, e.g. if you are unconscious or in a coma.
Q. What decisions might the agent be called upon to make?
A. Some of the decisions your agent may be required to make
include what medications to take or refuse or what procedures or
surgeries to undergo.
Q. Can the health care agent make a decision that is against my
own wishes?
A. If you have previously communicated to your health care
provider your wishes with respect to certain medications or
procedures, your health care agent cannot overrule your decision
once you lose your ability to communicate.
Q. Does the health care proxy make the health care agent
responsible for my medical bills?
A. No. You remain responsible for payment of medical services
provided to you, whether you personally consented to them or
your health care agent consented on your behalf.
Q. Can my health care agent override my decision to be an
organ donor?
A. No. Your health care agent cannot cancel your decision to be an
organ donor if you have fi lled out an organ donor form.
Q. Can my health care agent make decisions regarding end-of-
life choices?
A. Your health care agent can make decisions with respect to end
of life care only if you can show that you have communicated
your intentions to the agent. A separate document called a Living
Will can accomplish that.
Q. What is a Living Will?
A. A Living Will is a document that serves as evidence of your
wishes with respect to end-of-life care.
Q. What are some of the issues a Living Will addresses?
A. A Living Will can express your wishes with respect to life-
prolonging procedures and end-of-life treatment when it has
been determined that you are in a persistent vegetative state or
have no hope of recovery.
Q. What are some of the issues I can address in advance?
A. You can use your Living Will to express your desire to withdraw
or withhold life-sustaining treatment, such as artifi cial respiration,
artifi cial hydration and artifi cial nutrition when you have no
hope of recovery. You can also indicate a desire to be taken off
medications, even antibiotics, if there is no hope for your recovery.
Q. What about pain management?
A. You can use your Living Will to express a desire for maximum
pain relief, even if that were to hasten your death.
Q. Can I ever change my Health Care Proxy or Living Will?
A. A health care proxy and living will can be changed at anytime,
so if you change your mind about certain procedures or wish to
change your health care agent, you are free to do so.
Q. Who has the ability to complete a Health Care Proxy and
make a Living Will?
A. Anyone 18 years or older can make a Living Will or complete
a Health Care Proxy. To be eff ective, the documents need to be
executed and witnessed in conformance with New York State law.

Balance
While driving to school with my son and his friend the
other day, we were discussing an upcoming football
game. As you may or may not know, I am a huge fan of
football. That is, when my son(s) are playing. I have been
working on my self control as a spectator – I tend to get a little
excited to say the least – but this article is about balance so I’ll
leave adult self control for another time.
We were talking about how great it feels to win and how
terrible it feels to lose. I told them that it all balances out.
Everything in our universe is in balance. It is necessary for
someone to lose if someone wins. We discussed the far
eastern philosophy of yin and yang, positive and negative,
light and dark, and the list goes on as long as you would like to
take it. Everyone understands money, so I used the example
of wealth on a global scale. Compared to the average person
in our community, there are people with such fi nancial wealth
that it staggers the mind. There are also people in such
poverty that we cannot imagine. It all balances. The concept
of communism forces the balance to average out so everyone is just kind of happy; like a tie football game
that is unresolved. In our society, and most countries globally, we need the winners to give us something
to strive for and to keep us working and hoping and challenging ourselves. We also need to be winners
sometimes to feel successful.
What I tried to tell the boys was that you can’t have joy without sadness, you can’t have a win without a
loss, and you can’t have love without hate. It just doesn’t work out. Without the yin to go with the yang the
technique is incomplete. Without the football loss we cannot experience the football win. Without a concept
of hate, we cannot know love. With nothing to compare to, everything would just feel kind of okay, like a tie
game.
You may fi nd all of this saddening, but actually it serves to make sense of the world and why things are the
way they are. The concept of necessary balance regarding economics, physics, or competition can provide a
sense of comfort through understanding the way things work. This realization has helped me remain calmer
at games, for a game in football represents so much more than just a game; it is full of life lessons. Just like
Taekwondo. Find your lesson and your balance in the things you do.
Guilderland Martial Arts is a proud sponsor of Guilderland athletics, and in particular football, since I love the
game and my children play. As I always say: Integrity, Self Control, Great Spirit, Courtesy, Perseverance ... in
taekwondo, in football, in life. Great season Dutch. Go Dutch 2012!

Q. Can I still enjoy Halloween Candy without worrying about my teeth?A. Halloween candy definitely gets a bad wrap at the dentist office. But we are here to tell you a few tips that will allow your kids to still enjoy their Halloween candy. Sugar in candy is the main culprit in causing cavities. Bacteria in the mouth turn sugar into harmful acid that eats away at the tooth structure. Actually, this process is true with many other foods and drinks that contain sugar, so these tips are useful everyday, all year long.Here are several ways to prevent cavities from Halloween candy:• Limit the total amount of candy (sugar)• Eat a few pieces at one time, instead of several times throughout the day• Avoid extra hard or sticky candy• Brush and floss the teeth to remove sugar and plaque before it can do damage• Drink water to dilute the acid and remove food debris• Chew sugar free gum to remove food debris and stimulate protective saliva flowUsing a combination of these steps will help minimize the risks of cavities in your family’s teeth, especially when our homes are filled with Halloween candy this fall.
If you have any questions, please call my office at 518-356-5635 and ask for Dr. O!

HERE COMES WINTER. IS YOUR BODY READY?
The best cure for all the ills of winter is prevention,
and NOW is the time to start. The most powerful
thing anyone can do to strengthen the immune
system is to get adjusted by a CHIROPRACTOR.
The nervous system and immune system are
hardwired together to create optimal responses for
the body to heal. Neural dysfunctions due to spinal
misalignments are stressful to the body and cause
abnormal changes that lead to a poorly coordinated
immune response. Chiropractic adjustments have
been shown to boost the responses of the nervous
and immune systems.
The autonomic nervous system is hardwired into
the lymph organs such as the spleen, thymus,
lymph nodes, and bone marrow that produce the
body’s immune response. Growing evidence shows
that immune function is regulated in part by the
sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system- the very part that is directly aff ected by an
adjustment!
Subluxation or misalignments of the spine cause compression and irritation of nerve pathways
aff ecting organ systems of the body. Subluxations are an example of physical nerve stress that aff ects
neuronal control. According to researchers, such stressful conditions lead to altered immune function
& increased susceptibility to a variety of diseases.
At the Spinal Wellness Center, we are always striving to help people enjoy OPTIMAL HEALTH. Our
regular patients know they don’t get sick as much, and when they do their body fi ghts it rather than
collapses under it.
Don’t collapse under illness all winter, call today for a complimentary consultation. 869-3415

Selling Your Home in 2011?Getting to the real estate closing table today is much more challenging than
a few years ago. During the first 9 months of 2011, only 54% of Guilderland homes listed have actually gone under contract or closed.
In this kind of a real estate market you need a realtor with the experience and a proven track record on your side. With over 2000 homes sold and 25 years in the
business, Fraida Varah has sold more homes in Albany County than any other realtor.
Find out what homes are selling for in your neighborhood by going to
fraida.com and clicking “What’s Your Home Worth” ...or call us at 438-9302
