The program provides a number of local schools an opportunity to highlight their efforts andprojects to reinforce to their peers as well as other members of the community about the consequencesof underage alcohol use.

MEDICAID TAKEOVER A STEP IN THE

RIGHT DIRECTIONRensselaer County Kathleen M. Jimino is calling the SenateMajority’s acceleration of the State takeover of the local costsof Medicaid a step in the right direction to achieving theessential mandate relief that is vital to maintaining local servicesand limiting the property tax burden on homeowners acrossupstate New York.“Homeowners deserve a break from the overwhelmingproperty tax burden they face that is brought on in large partby the cost of the unfunded mandates the State imposes. InRensselaer County, 90 cents of every local tax dollar collectedis used to pay for these State programs deemed necessary byour state leaders and bureaucrats all while those same stateleaders and bureaucrats when unable to pay the bills fromtheir $130 billion State budget send them to Counties andtheir local taxpayers to foot the bill,” said Rensselaer CountyExecutive Kathleen M. Jimino.New York requires the highest local contribution towardsfunding the Medicaid program with local governmentscontributing approximately $8 billion towards the cost of theprogram. The next highest State is California which requiresits local governments to provide a total of $1 billion in support.“I commend the Senate Majority for recognizing the need forproperty tax and mandate relief by accelerating the Governor’sproposal to reduce the property tax share of Medicaid butcaution that Counties and taxpayers need results now. Iurge residents to reach out to their senators and assemblymembers to strongly urge them to support real mandate relief,”stated Jimino.For more information on the effect of mandates on RensselaerCounty taxpayers, please visit www.rensco.com and click theSTOP MANDATES NOW icon.

MEMBERS OF LEGIS. MAJORITY ENDORSE

PROPOSED PENSION REFORM PLANMembers of the majority of the Rensselaer County Legislatureare endorsing a proposed pension reform plan that has earnedbroad and bi-partisan support from elected officials acrossNew York State.Costs for pensions have risen dramatically in recent years,with statewide costs climbing from $1.7 billion in 2002 to $12.4billion in 2012. The reform plan would help control costs andprotect both taxpayers and those receiving pensions.Introduced by Governor Cuomo, the pension reform plancenters around creation of a Tier VI for any employees whohave yet to be hired and join public service. The proposal hasreceived strong and bi-partisan support from elected officialsfrom across the state.Chairman of the Legislature Martin Reid said the plan is a solidstep toward controlling pension costs and creates a partnershipbetween the state and local governments in dealing with theissue. The reform plan will help control costs without diminishingbenefits for any current recipient, according to the proposal.“Pension reform is a crucial issue for government at all levels.The reform plan put forward will help control costs in thefuture and help protect taxpayers and needed services,” saidReid.“It is no secret that pension costs have ballooned in recentyears, at a time when local governments can least afford it.As a former mayor, there was nothing more stressful thangetting the pension bill from the state,” added Legislator HarryTutunjian, who served two terms as Troy mayor.“Pension costs have gone up to such an extent that localgovernments are under tremendous strain to meet theobligation. This package has received strong bi-partisansupport because leaders on both sides recognize the need forcomprehensive reform,” said Vice Chairman of the Legislaturefor Finance Phil Danaher.

NEW TWIST ON SPRING

AND EASTER DECORATING

Eggs are symbolic of Easter. They’recolored, decorated, hidden, and usedin decorative items for the home. Theone caveat to eggs is that they arequite fragile, and even hard-boiledeggs can be rendered useless with oneaccidental drop or blow. Instead ofrelying on breakable eggs forEasterfun, consider making stronger onesinstead.Symbolic of rebirth and renewal, eggsare an integral part of setting thescene come early spring. Selecting aless fragile material to create the looksof real eggs can increase the potentialfor using them in many different applications. One of the easiestways to create harder-to-break eggs is to make them out ofclay.Modeling clay is a versatile medium that can be used to makeeverything from clay eggs to bunny figurines to religious itemssynonymous withEaster.A visit to the local craft store or even a chain retailer will likelyturn up different clay products, which come in a variety ofcolors. You can create pastel-colored clay by mixing primarycolors with white clay if you cannot find pastel colors in thestore.There are two main ways to create egg shapes out of a ball ofclay. One way is to roll a ball out of the clay and then roll itvertically between your hands to make the smaller end of theegg. Another is to use a plastic egg as a mold and stuff the clayinside. Pop open the top of the plastic egg and then gently tapthe clay out.You don’t even have to color your clay if you don’t feel up to it.You may also use white clay, allow to dry, and then paint themusing acrylic paints. Mix two clay colors together before forminginto an egg to achieve a marbled effect.Also think about adding embellishments like stickers, ribbon,bows, and flowers to the eggs, much in the same way youwould decorate real eggs.

To display clay eggs in a vase or to attach to a spring wreath,thread a dowel or piece of florist’s wire into the egg beforeallowing to harden completely. Then attach them as needed.Clay eggs can be used in place of regular eggs in just aboutevery traditional egg use — except of course for making eggsalad! Plus, making clay eggs is a fun and safe craft for all ages.Eggs in a NestHere’s a creative way to show off clay eggs.Materials:2 to 3 eggs depending on sizeMoss or raffiaRibbonFlorist wireWeave or shape the raffia or moss into a nest shape largeenough to fit the clay eggs. Secure as necessary with the wire.Decorate with bows made out of ribbon.Place the eggs into the nest and display where desired.
