notes from the SUPERVISOR’S OFFICE
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all of Guilderland’s residents and all the other readers of
Our Towne Guilderland to 2012. I really appreciate the opportunity that publisher Lowell Knapp continues to provide the Supervisor’s Offi ce in making this column available for me to use as a way of staying in touch with Guilderland’s residents. I believe that it is important for Town residents to be aware of what is happening in their community, and this column represents one way to achieve that goal.
Th is is also a good time for me to remind residents that Guilderland also off ers current information and live meeting broadcasts and replays on Channel 17 on your local cable system, and that the Guilderland Town website, www.townofguilderland.org, off ers a wide range of continuously updated information on community events. Residents can also use the website to sign up for e-mails containing agendas and minutes of meetings of the Town Board and other boards and committees.
Th e diffi cult economic times of 2011 are carrying over into 2012 on a national, state, and regional level. Th ese conditions continue to present Town government with signifi cant challenges as we work to continue to provide the municipal services that maintain the quality of life in our community without increasing the fi nancial burdens imposed on our residents.
Th e 2012 budget adopted by the Town Board contains no increase in the Town’s general tax rate. A limited number of fees for diff erent services provided by the Town saw modest increases for the fi rst time in three years. At the same time, Town employees were again provided no salary increases for 2012, several positions in the Town workforce were eliminated, a number of full-year positions were converted to seasonal status, and modifi cations to health insurance programs were put into place to curtail the growth of this signifi cant expense category. I am pleased to report that these cost savings have been implemented with the active cooperation of the Town work force.
We will continue to closely monitor Town revenue and expenditures during 2012. While we are, of course, always hopeful of an economic upturn that will benefi t our Town and its residents, we will not manage Guilderland’s fi nances on the basis of that hope. On January 1, 2012, two new members of the Town Board took their oaths of offi ce. I am pleased to welcome Brian Forte and Alan Maikels to the Board, and am pleased at their commitment to work with
me and with current Town Board members Patricia Slavick and Paul Pastore to address the challenges facing Guilderland in a collaborative manner and with a common focus on positively impacting the quality of life of our community and its residents.
As winter takes hold in Guilderland, many of our residents will be looking for aff ordable recreational opportunities close to home, and, as usual, our Town parks have a variety of options available. Sledding on the big hill at the Winter Recreation Area is always a popular family activity. Snowshoeing is an increasingly popular winter activity, and the 5 miles of trails in Tawasentha Park and the Winter Recreation Area are available for your use. Please remember that snowshoeing is not permitted at Western Turnpike Golf Course. A limited number of snowshoe rentals are available at the Parks and Recreation Offi ce on Route 146. Cross- country skiers can try their hand on the ungroomed trails at Tawasentha and the Winter Recreation Area, or, when the weather permits, on groomed trails at Western Turnpike Golf Course. A limited number of ski rentals are available for a fee of $7. Please check the Town website or call the Parks and Recreation Offi ce at 456-3150 for up-to-date information about available activities.
January is a god time for regular golfers to be thinking about taking out or renewing memberships at Guilderland’s Western Turnpike Golf Course. A membership off ers the opportunity for unlimited play at a reduced cost, with an additional discount off ered for Guilderland residents, plus a special early-bird discount available for new or renewed memberships that are paid by February 1. Another attractive feature of Western Turnpike memberships is that the 2012 seasonal fees will not increase in price over 2012. Call the Parks and Recreation Offi ce at 456-3150 with any questions you may have about memberships.
On behalf of the Town of Guilderland and its employees, I would like to off er my best wishes to all our residents for a safe and happy New Year.

Altamont has a new wine bar; Mio Vino. It opened the week before Christmas, and I know the chamber looks forward to having some business networking events there.

Making and Keeping your fi tness goals for 2012 (Part 2 of 3)
“The Journey of a thousand miles begins with one step”- Lao-tzu
In the December issue of Our Towne, we talked about preparing for the New Year: - Buy a journal - Set specifi c, realis c yet challenging goals - Set both long term and short term goals -Believe in yourself - it is the most powerful predictor of success and change.Even the longest journey must begin where you stand, that fi rst step is a big one and o en the hardest step to take. January is the month to put your plans into ac on. Move past your fears. Conquer that fi rst step.Have a plan in place every day: know your workout, your meals, your snacks, and your plan for the day...everyday. It should be in your journal and will keep you on track. Be prepared in advance and s ck to your plan. Enlist the help of a trainer or die cian if you need guidance. Good trainers have not just mastered exercise science, they understand how to help their clients achieve more from every aspect of their lifestyle. Use your Journal: how it best fi ts you but be honest… if you can’t be honest with yourself you will never succeed. Use your journal to track your progress, record your food intake and workouts, as a reminder to drink enough water, to record your weight, body measurements, your mood and energy level, or to write down your feelings. If you have a bad day, it’s okay. Forgive yourself and use that setback to strengthen your commitment and con nue to move forward. Change your environment: make it work for you. Remove the clothes hanging from your treadmill. Throw away your junk food. Fill your home with fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and be er food choices. Find your workout space within your home, get it ready to use and use it. I train people in their homes because it is a safe environment for them and it eliminates many of the common excuses that have contributed to their failures in the past. The Buddy System: It works. Your Accountability Buddy should be healthy and fi t, encouraging, and accessible when you need them. They should be there to reward your progress, celebrate your successes, and aid in the recovery from setbacks. I am the Accountability Buddy for many people and truly enjoy my role in their lives. Your Workout Buddy may not be the right person to use as your accountability buddy. DO NOT CHANGE EVERYTHING ON JANUARY 1. You will only be se ng yourself up for failure. You must choose what is most important to you and master that one thing before conquering others. For example, if your main goal is to exercise more, spend this month working on that…once it has become part of your everyday rou ne, you can go on to your next goal which may be diet related. Reward your successes…within reason!!

It seems like everyone today has questions about the current state of the Guilderland real estate market. How are values? Are homes selling? How long will it take to sell my home? Th ese are questions that I hear almost every day. When I started in the business over 20 years ago, a real estate agent’s primary evaluation tool was a CMA or Comparative Market Analysis. Using this method an agent would evaluate prior closed, pending, and active listings in an area to derive an estimated value for a property. Th is method is still used by many agents today. However, to really know what is going on in a real estate market in general, a more detailed statistical analysis is required.
Based on recent data of real estate agent listed homes, here is what is happening in Guilderland as of year end 2011. Th ere are roughly 138 existing single family homes listed for sale with prices ranging from $99,900 to $1,600,000. Th e average single family home list price in Guilderland is currently $347,000. In 2011, 243 existing single family homes were sold with an average price of $253,000 and an average of 84 days on the market. In 2010, 254 existing single family homes were sold in Guilderland for an average sale price of $256,958 and an average reported marketing time of about 66 days. Properly priced homes are selling for roughly 96% of list price on average. Based on recent data for the past several years, it appears the volume of existing single family homes sales has stabilized at about 250 per year. Th is contrasts sharply with the market peak in 2007 of 327 single family home sales. While home values have seen a decline since the market heights of 2007, recent data is trending towards price stabilization.
A closer look indicates that roughly 46% of homes listed for sale in 2011 expired unsold. Based on the current absorption rate, Guilderland has about a 7 month supply of homes on the market. As a general rule of thumb, a 6 month supply of homes is considered to be a balanced market. When the inventory of homes is greater then 6 months it is considered a buyer’s
market. A supply of less than 6 months will tend to indicate the market favors sellers. Each neighborhood and price range within the town will vary from the averages and each home should be evaluated individually to draw accurate valuation and marketing conclusions. Th e good news is our offi ce saw a signifi cant increase in buyer activity during the month of December. It appears that buyers are fi nally starting to move off the fence, partially driven by mortgage interest rates dipping under 4%. Hopefully this activity will continue into 2012.
In response to various information requests, we have recently improved our free online real estate market snapshot that can be customized using current up to date real estate sales data. If you want to know what is happening in your Guilderland neighborhood visit us at www.guilderlandmarkettrends.com Th is site will give you a free analysis of what homes in your neighborhood are actually selling for as well as information such as days on the market for specifi c homes. If you need help interpreting your free report please call us!

What are your New Year’s Resolutions? Prepare for Long Term Care
Since the end of 2011, we may fi nd ourselves looking back over all that has happened and how our lives have changed. There may be a new child, improved job satisfaction, an outstanding vacation, better health or many other positive events. There may also have been many diffi cult life events, such as the loss of a loved one, weather-related destruction, unemployment, an unfortunate accident, or the deterioration of your or a loved one’s health.
We may also fi nd ourselves thinking about how we could improve our lives and the lives of our loved ones. We can learn from our and others’ past experiences. This could be the year we abandon habits that are no longer helpful to us. This could be the year that we get organized and develop a plan for the future. Please consider a plan for Long Term Care.
Why not talk with your spouse or other loved ones about future Long Term Care needs? While it may not be an easy conversation, it is a necessary one. Indeed, it is diffi cult to contemplate the possibility of our own failing health or that of a loved one. Consequently, we may avoid thinking about it and simply hope for the best. “Hope” is not a sound strategy.
Long Term Care refers to a wide range of medical, non-medical (custodial), social, and personal care services that help a person cope with a reduced level of functioning due to aging, illness, or injury. Depending upon individual needs, Long Term Care services may be provided by a nurse, home health aide, occupational/physical therapist, speech language pathologist, etc.
The utilization of trusts and appropriate types of insurance should be considered. While a trust can protect assets, Long Term Care insurance can help cover the expenses for Long Term Care services. Policies vary, but in general they provide a set amount of coverage that can be used to pay the costs of nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or home health care.
Please call our offi ce when you would like to schedule a meeting to discuss this important income and asset protection issue. While we don’t know what any New Year holds, proper planning may help preserve assets, enhance options for care, and most importantly, bring you many more Happy New Years.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, Zimbler attended New York City’s prestigious Stuyvesant High School, which specializes in science, mathematics and technology. Following high school he headed upstate to SUNY Albany, where he received dual bachelor’s degrees in Mathematics and Economics. Th en, in what is unique for a technology professional, he then went on to receive a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) for Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy. “I believe my business degrees have served me well in working to provide technology for small business,” Zimbler says. “I have frequently been called on to explain why technology is necessary in terms of profi tability for businesses, so my academic background in business has been helpful in being something of technology evangelist for the business community.” Zimbler has taken that role on seriously over the years, participating in a numerous business membership, development and support organizations. He has counseled various business owners and sponsored a wealth of internship opportunities.In what has been his most ambitious eff ort to date, Zimbler created “smAlbany”, which is an annual small business expo and technology conference, now in its 6th years. According to Zimbler, the smAlbany name is a play on Albany’s relatively diminutive size and proximity in relation to New
York City. Th e name is a further play on Albany’s nascent (but increasingly world renowned) nano technology research and development industry, as well as its burgeoning chip manufacturing industry at its ADM facility in nearby Malta, NY. “We like to give the
little guy (and girl) a fi ghting chance,“ Zimbler says. “We believe that if we equip our businesses with the technology – and it can be provided to them at an aff ordable price – they can take on the big competitors, the national chains, the big guys, and profi tably navigate their businesses. smAlbany gives them the information they need.”Th e sixth annual smAlbany event will be held Tuesday, July 17, 2012 at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering, University of Albany.In a similar vein, Zimbler passionately supports buying locally, and he is a backer of the Capital District Local First www.capitaldistrictlocalfi rst.org. Liberteks has been a member of the organization for a number of years and Zimbler continues to work with the organization’s members on cooperative eff orts. He also provides support for the Regional Food Bank, local Humane Society groups and a variety of churches and synagogues in the area. While Liberteks serves a large consumer audience, it continues to grow with business audiences whereby Liberteks provides a range of software, hardware and network services. Many business clients receive Managed Services from Liberteks which off ers a wide range of comprehensive services, to provide customized service and support that is proactively monitored and managed on a 24/7 basis. Updates are maintained on a regular service schedule, and consultation and instruction are provided to clients to achieve the highest level of productivity from the computer system. Managed services include desktop instant support (where repairs can be done remotely,) as well as security, back up and disaster recovery programs. “We are confi dent we can get their systems working more productively, that we can make them more profi table. Businesses can operate more effi cient and eff ective, which benefi ts both employees and owners,” Zimbler said.

PUSHING AND “POPPING” NOT FOR YOU? NO PROBLEM!By Dr. Jennifer L. Noonan, The Spinal Wellness Center
One of the many amazing things about chiroprac c care and The Spinal Wellness Center is that there are many incredibly eff ec ve forms of treatment available to our pa ents. For those who are apprehensive about the more tradi onal “osseous” (bone) techniques, we off er non and low force adjus ng, so - ssue only techniques, “Arthro-S m” instrument adjus ng and cold laser therapy! If you need chiroprac c care, there is a style of adjus ng you will be comfortable with and that can help you. Here are some details on a few of the techniques off ered at The Spinal Wellness Center.
COLD LASER THERAPY is a form of low-level light therapy that s mulates damaged cells to repair thereby accelera ng healing and reducing pain and infl amma on. It is highly eff ec ve for situa ons such as carpal tunnel syndrome, arthri s, nerve pain, acute injuries and even headaches.
“ARTHRO STIM” instrument adjus ng can be used on nearly any situa on that tradi onal adjus ng would be used, but without the push and release “pop” that many people are afraid of. The “arthro s m” applies gentle mo on into a joint or trigger point with amazing results. Perfect for children and older adults too.
NON AND LOW FORCE ADJUSTING . There are so many op ons it would be impossible to talk about them all. I have been using fl exion & distrac on technique for years for herniated and degenerated discs, spinal stenosis and arthri s. It is incredibly eff ec ve and so very gentle. Non-force mobiliza onand trigger point therapy works wonders for low back pain, neck pain and headache suff erers.
SOT( sacro-occipital technique) is wonderful for pregnant women or others who have a diffi cult me moving about. CONDITIONS THAT RESPOND WELL TO CHIROPRACTIC INCLUDE;
Low back pain, neck pain, whiplash, work related injuries, arm/leg pain or ngling, headaches, migraines, fi bromyalgia, arthri s, childhood ear infec ons, scoliosis, pregnancy related back pain, carpal tunnel, postural and computer overuse pain.
If you have been thinking of ge ng chiroprac c care, but are apprehensive about the technique, please call today to schedule a complimentary consulta on about non and low force treatment op ons with one of our Doctors. 869-3415.

Live Every Moment
Th ere has been so much talk about 2012 and the predictions for the end of an era; some even consider the end of the world. Countless times throughout history diff erent groups of people have predicted the end of our world, and countless times, anticipated dates have come and gone without an end. I will not use this space to promote my own opinions about the world and any end of an era, however, this most recent addition to the long historical line up of doom lists does provide us with an opportunity to live as if each moment were our last.
As dark as it may appear, it is sound advice for living a full life. As the year turns into 2012 live your life full of a passion for doing and a sense of community in doing things together with your family and friends.
Just before New Years I went skiing with my family. In recent years, I had been avoiding it due to the fear of getting hurt; something I cannot have happen and continue working the way I do. Imagining that each opportunity could be the last for any number of reasons, allowed me to overcome my fear and have the best day ever with my family. Th at and a little caution, I am 48 after all, and despite my 17 year old mind, I cannot physically act like it (something I have been slowly learning to accept). Overcoming fear is one of the best character traits you can develop to help you live a full life.
I am very fortunate to have careers that allow me to work closely with my family. One specifi c example is our Taekwondo school. Th roughout my family’s history it has been a focal point that binds us together in our character and our goals. It is very comforting to have this bond and wholesome in its manifestation. My family has many other interests as well - football, lacrosse, skiing and boarding and of course music - they all compliment each other along with our Taekwondo training.
I don’t know if Taekwondo is for you; you can try it and fi nd out. I do know that there is something out there for you and your family or friends. What matters is that you fi nd it, do it together with passion, and for goodness sake, do it and every thing like it is the last time. Not because it is, but because that will make it the best ever.
I wish you and your family and friends the best most successful year 2012 and leave you with two relevant quotes to help you along the way. “What would you attempt if you knew you would not fail?”, Robert Schuller and “Don’t worry about the world ending today, it is already tomorrow in Australia.”, Charles Schultz.

Important NumbersSteven J. Oshins, D.D.S.
Happy New Year to Everyone!! The Holiday season tends to be a time of excess- too much food and drink, too much many sweets and too many treats that are bad for everything between your mouth and your waistline. It’s now time to shake off the holiday habits and start the new year with some healthy dental resolutions.
1. Brush 2-3 minutes twice a day-It really does take that long to clean all the surfaces of your teeth. 2. Floss daily- It will help remove the stuff that your toothbrush can’t reach. 3. Less sweets- It will reduce the incidence of cavities, improve your blood sugar and weight.4. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables- Poor nutrition can affect the entire immune system.5. Drink plenty of water-Want to reduce all that coffee/tea stain between hygiene appointments? Take a sip or two of water after you finish your drink. 6. Schedule your regular continuing care appointments for you and your children- If your child is three and hasn’t been seen by a Dentist now is a good time to take them. There’s no better time than the present to start working toward a new year of healthy, bright smiles. Contact Dr. Oshins by email at [email protected]
All the best for the New Year!!!
