Public Notice: organizational meeting
Plans call for the 36-inch, pressurized pipeline to travel east from Wright in an existing Kinder Morgan right of way through Knox, Berne, New Scotland and Bethlehem, before crossing beneath the Hudson River at Schodack, Rensselaer County. TU 3/27On Thursday, 4/2/15 at 7 PM, I am holding another organizational meeting in regards to opposition to the proposed NED pipeline and compressor station in our towns.
It will be held at the Senior center for the aging on rte 150 on the right just north of the intersection of Rt 20 and 150 if going north. Feel free to invite friends and neighbors. The past meeting we discussed our concerns about the pipeline, a general plan for upcoming public meetings, informing the public and voicing our opposition to our government leaders.
Our last meeting was a success with about 30+ in attendance. This time, we will work on forming smaller committees to address specific tasks, planning our strategy for the upcoming Kinder Morgan meeting April 13 at Green Meadow school 6-8 PM, sign letters to our elected officials and have an informational letter to distribute to Schodack residents. We also need to start planning our public forum on 5/5 /15 and how we will organize help with this meeting.
Thank you,
Lisa and Bill Zimmerman

Unexpected Dangers of Farming
by FUSSYlittleBlog
Remember how I said I wanted to get more involved with local farms this year? Well, I guess it pays to be careful with your wishes.
A few weeks ago I met Joshua Rockwood for the first time at Bella Napoli in Latham. He’s the owner of West Wind Acres, a small but growing farm on the edge of Schenectady County in the town of West Charlton. Josh didn’t grow up a farmer. He has a background in construction, but he has gotten into farming for all the right reasons.
It’s a long story, and you can read the whole thing on his blog.

Columbia Science Olympiad team Advances to Nationals
Posted March 16, 2015Columbia High School’s Science Olympiad Team won the New York State tournament Saturday at LeMoyne College in Syracuse and will advance to the national tournament on May 15 and 16 at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Columbia avenged its runner-up finish from last year, knocking off 11-time state champion Fayetteville-Manlius High School of Central New York by seven points.
Columbia defeated 53 schools in 25 different events including biology, chemistry, earth science, physics, computers and engineering. Events range from paper and pencil tests, to laboratory activities and construction of devices.
Individual medals are given for the top 10 teams in each event, and these scores are combined to earn an overall team score. Columbia’s team medaled in 18 of the 25 events held on Saturday, and every member of the team won at least one individual medal. Additionally, team members Tim MacDonald, Peter Herrick and Parth Bhide’s gold medal performances qualified them for $14,000 in scholarships.
This is Columbia’s second consecutive trip to the national tournament. In 2014, Columbia finished 16th out of 60 schools and won the award for best new team.

There are no good guys

| abc news |
Officials said "certain Iraqi units" have already been denied U.S. military assistance -- including weapons, equipment and training -- because of "credible information in the past" of gross human rights violations.
“It’s tough sorting out good guys and bad guys in a lot of these areas,” said Brennan referring to scenes of “horrific human rights abuses.”“When we see it, we do bring it to the attention of authorities and we will not work with entities that are engaged in such activities,” the CIA director said.

EDITORIAL: What’s the threat from measles?
by PARRY TEASDALE
IF YOU HAD MEASLES as a kid you may not remember having them. For most Baby Boomers born before the vaccine was introduced in 1963, measles made you sick and itchy, you stayed home from school until the spots went away and life went on.
Thousands of kids were hospitalized by complications associated with measles–respiratory illnesses and even encephalitis. Some died. Back then my parents wouldn't have told me about that. Would yours?
There were an estimated 4 million measles cases a year in the U.S. before the vaccine. That’s a lot of illness. It was also a lot of people not likely to get measles again because their immune systems had developed antibodies to the virus. But the vaccine meant you could avoid measles instead of surviving them.
This vaccine, now given as part of a cocktail of vaccines against other childhood maladies, transformed measles from a threat to a memory.
