The current town government has adopted a tentative budget for 2015-16 to increase the tax base by 34%. According to this current administration, of whom three of the seats are filled by members from the same family, the town is "Out of money!" "We don't have one penny right now," said Gordon Brownell, Councilman whose term ends on 12-3115. There will be a public hearing on the tentative budget on the second Thursday night in Nov., which will be Nov. 12th. "Without a public hearing on the tentative budget, the budget can not be officially adopted," said Wayne Handy, Town Supervisor. The public hearing will be held at the town barn in Saint Johnsville at 6:30 PM. Each property owner is urged to attend this very important meeting. "Each property owner will have an opportunity to voice their approval or disapproval of this budget, which will raise the tax base here," according to William Farber, Councilman. If this tentative budget passes without opposition from the town residents, each resident does not have anyone to blame but themselves for this really BIG tax increase. Without opposition this tax increase will pass and each resident will pay. Voice your opinion and whether the town board in Saint Johnsville has the right to spend the tax payer’s money anyway they wish. Anyone that wishes to attend this meeting and does not have transportation to get there, please call 518-568-5121. By calling this number, someone will be assigned to pick up each person that does not have a way to get there. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ATTEND THIS MEETING IF YOU WISH TO PREVENT YOUR TAXES FROM GOING UP BY 34%. Oct. 31, 2015 Hello Again, The question remains, should we always do what our doctor says we should do? Have you heard about the man who called his doctor with the following complaint “Doctor before I went to work this morning I had a serious pain in my belly, and then I noticed I had what looked like a gold screw in place of my belly button. When I press on the gold screw the pain gets worse, what should I do? The Doctor said go home and take a short handled screwdriver and remove the screw. Call me tomorrow and tell me what happened. The patient couldn’t wait for morning. He called the Doctor and the Doctor asked “Well did you remove the Golden screw like I said.” “Yes, Doc I did and that’s the main reason I called so early.” “Tell me,” the Doctor said. He answered, “When I finally removed the gold screw my buns fell off.” I understand that one of our local hospitals is talking about installing parking meters next to each bed and an ATM machine near the nurses station. If you are still in your room when the red flag on the meter pops up they will charge you time and a half. Sort of a parking meter fine. If your spouse is the patient creating the charges you will become an indentured slave at the rate of minimum wage. So to speak, you will owe your wife’s soul to the Company Store. Our governor has fully supported President Obama’s plan to pay certain hamburger slingers $15 per hour. When the 20 percent government mandated extras are added on it will cost the hamburger employers $18 per hour. This equates to a beginning hamburger slinger 40hour employee earning $720 per week. Now if certain emergencies arise when the manager has to ask an employee to work more than 40 hours, the overtime pay of time and a half the hourly rate comes to $27 per hour. The first 40 hours will cost the employer $720. If the employee works 8 hours overtime the employer will pay an additional $27 per hour. If the employer is entitled to be paid double time the employer will lose big money for every customer who works through the door. Mothers will be telling their children about the hamburger stand that she worked at but closed up years ago. On the other hand can you imagine any hamburger stand operator hiring and paying $700-$800 per week for one employee if they can buy a vending machine to do the job. When I was in college I worked at The Blue Bird Diner for 60 cents per hour. Most of us older guys know that based on flipping hamburgers our experience or knowledge is not broad enough to warrant $27 per hour so we suggest that the local burger man hire only young teenagers while they still know everything. Dear Sirs, Messrs. Obama and Cuomo: When and if you come up with ideas to expand or create new ways to expand a business you will be heralded as great. When you create a new additional high cost for a business I hate to think what you will be called. In the case of the $15 per hour minimum wage for fast food employees the only accomplishment you will eventually see is more welfare recipients, as most will be replaced by a machine or just tightening of the belt. Your plan does not create. It destroys. Yesterday, we visited the Yankee Candle shop near Deerfield, MA, with friends from Connecticut. The two ladies have been talking about Yankee Candles for a couple of years. I wasn’t even luke warm on the idea. What could they possibly have to attract anyone? A few candles, nick knacks and a bunch of what-haveyous. Certainly nothing could command the interest of a couple of men. What did we find? Candles: short, fat, tall, skinny, white, black, multicolored candles. Candles for every occasion. Candles to burn when you have nothing better to do. You-nameit candles by the thousands possibly millions. But here was the big surprise; the candle store was absolutely delightful and huge. Department after department packed with Christmas items, household decorations, glassware and crystal. Their fantastic inventory was displayed in professionally made cabinetry or shelves. The store must have easily carried an inventory worth several millions of dollars. The Yankee Candle Store parking lot could accommodate hundreds of cars and each parking area was set in a beautiful flower garden setting. One of their three gardeners said they had just finished planting 1,600 mums. I asked where do your customers come from? The answer was everywhere and by the thousands. Outside in a beautiful garden setting we found a delightful, quaint, large restaurant offering a large menu with daily specials. Why do people travel to the very successful business? Because Yankee Candle has something they want and the simple fact the candle shop is there. Why do people not visit — the Mohawk Valley? Because there is no drawing card — no Christmas, Teddy Bear, Yankee Candle, American Doll, etc. store to visit. You be the judge, a local daily newspaper had a bold front page heading “Sewer Plan gets OK” with the following sub head $10.2 million system passes by wide margin. On page 2 a two-column bold head “Clinton’s looks solid as GOP field fights. The lead paragraph by Julie Pace of the Associated Press under a Washington subhead, stated Hillary Rodham Clinton’s polished performance in the first Democratic debate did more than send a message to her primary rivals. It was a warning to the chaotic Republican field about her.

Our attempts however, to engage the Council at every step of the way has been met with antagonism, out-right bullying, and total negativity. What started out as an opposition to the building has morphed into, “If you insist on doing it, then at least do it right!” The Town Hall proposal has made this election a single issue one, with that single issue defining who and what the sitting Council is. The Council has positioned themselves as knowing “what is best for you, the residents of the Town of Palatine.” In other words, in their eyes there is no need for a public hearing or a referendum, which of course, there has been none for the 11 years since the original motion was made to consider a new building. What really is at stake here is the leadership that Palatine will have for the future. In that light, consider the following questions before election day. 1) Why has every council, including this one, for 11 years denied the public a voice in the siting and building of a new town office building? 2) They say they will listen, but why no hearings? 3) Why did they need to create new laws to accomodate their plans? 4) How do they justify a new building that has offices for the clerk and the assessor that are smaller than they now occupy? 5) Why, even with legal advice, are they unable to get the necessary procedures correct enough to avoid court? 6) Why do they continue with their legal advisor? 7) How can they claim to be fiduciaries of the Town’s assets by spending $500,000 on a structure that is not needed and probably will not be complete for several years? 8) Why are they using blown-in cellulose insulation, in the proposed building, requiring specialized people and equipment to install? 9) Why was there no site plan from the architect until months after the building drawings were submitted? 10) Why has there been no budget created for the completion of this project? 11) Where will the money come from to do a reval, once that decision is made? 12) When will the highway department get another building to store the myriad of equipment that is being accumulated by the Town? 13) How does the eventual salt shed get built? 14) As fiduciaries, how does the Council defend the “huge” reductions in assessments some businesses are getting? 15) How many times has the sheriff been called to monitor meetings? Why? 16) How many letters from the Town attorney to taxpayers with threatening messages? 17) How many other deals have been made by rogue members of the Council behind their comrades backs, resulting in Town money being spent? 18) Why, until the current supervisor, no concerted effort to address the declared deficiencies of the current building? 19) How does the Town justify 6 snow-plow trucks, more than any other town in the county? 20) How does the Town justify a new plow truck every two years? 21) Do the answers to these questions constitued true leadership abilities? If not then the election process is clear. The current members and others that are running with them have had their chance to prove their mettle. It is time for change. It is time for the slate of candidates running as members of the Responsible Government Party. This includes: Sara Niccoli running for Town Supervisor, Chris Novak, running for Councilman, Hank Vandenburgh running for Councilman, and Niel Yerdon, running to fill the unexpired term for Councilman. These candidates have lived in Palatine for varying lenghts of time. This means they have lived and/or worked in other areas, yet chose to live in the Town of Palatine. They brought with them the knowledge and experience of other areas. They understand the economic and social challenges of our area, county and town. They are commited, with passion, to sincerely try to improve our quality of life by providing responsible leadership for the assets of our town. This includes putting people first and fiscal responsibility Please Vote! ~ Earl Spencer A14 • October 31, 2015 ORIGINAL VALLEY PENNYSAVER FOR RENT 3 Bedroom, 1 Bath, Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, Off Street Parking, Backyard, Garage. $ 800 plus utilities.

But Halloween celebrations outside of North America may not be recognizable to those accustomed to celebrations stateside. In Scotland and Ireland, traditional customs of Halloween include dressing up in costume or “guising.” Parties may be held, and some people have bonfires or set off firework displays. Filipinos meanwhile return to their hometowns and purchase flowers and candles in preparation for All Saints Day, which takes place the day after Halloween. In China, the Halloween festival is known as Teng Chieh. Food and water are placed in front of photographs of family members who have passed away while bonfires and lanterns are lit in order to light paths for the spirits as they travel the planet on Halloween night. In Latin America and Mexico, Halloween is known as “El Dia de los Muertos.” Translated as “the day of the dead,” Dia de los Muertos is a three-day celebration that begins on the evening of Oct. 31 and culminates on Nov. 2. It is more a celebration of departed friends and family members than a chance to get hordes of candy. In France, Halloween was relatively unheard of until the mid-1990s. It was considered an American holiday and not celebrated. However, the draw of parties and costumed festivities led some French to embrace certain components of Halloween.

She thought we might still have a copy of a photo of her and her late husband George that she treasured but somehow misplaced. I told her I’d do my best to find it but after looking through several boxes and photo albums I didn’t come up with the picture she had in mind. So, instead, my wife and I found a nice photo of Shirley and George smiling with a party hostess standing between them and cut out the middle figure in order to put them together. I must say we did it rather skillfully because you had to look twice to see that the photo had been altered. Shirley was due back in town to attend a class reunion. I planned to first have the “scissored” picture photocopied, which would make it look even more convincing, and then deliver it to her at the gathering.

Many celebrants know that Halloween evolved from ancient Celtic festivals, such as Samhain, which marked the end of the harvest season and the dawn of winter. Celts were no longer spending long days in the pastures, and so they gathered in their homes to tell stories and wait out the winter. When Christianity spread, Halloween became intertwined with a feast day dedicated to the saints and deceased loved ones. “All Hallows Even,” eventually got shortened to “Hallowe’en,” and then Halloween. Though certain parts of Halloween history are well-known, there are many additional interesting facts about this beloved holiday that are less widely known. The following are some lesser known Halloween tidbits, courtesy of the websites, The Thought & Expression Company and Random History, as well as “The Halloween Handbook” (Citadel Press) by Ed Morrow. • The first jack-olanterns were made from turnips and beets. Pumpkins were used after Halloween was brought to North America. • The word “witch” is thought to come from the Olde English word “wicce,” meaning “wise woman.” Witches once were held in high regard. • Pumpkins actually are a fruit, a type of squash that is a member of the gourd family. Its cousins include cucumbers, melons, and other squashes. • Trick-or-treating may have originated with a European custom called “souling.” On All Soul’s Day, early Christians would go door-to-door begging for “soul cakes,” which were square pieces of bread with currants. The more cakes a person received, the more prayers he or she would promise to the dead relatives of the cake donors. • Witches may have rubbed a sacred ointment made with a hallucinogenic herb onto their skin. This gave them a feeling of flying, and if they had been fasting, they felt even giddier. Many witches rode on horseback, but those who were poor traveled on foot and carried a broom to launch themselves over streams. • One-quarter of all the candy sold each year is purchased around Halloween. Halloween candy sales in the United States average about $2 billion annually. • Some people still celebrate the ancient Celtic customs of Samhain. Many followers of various pagan religions, such as the Druids and Wiccans, observe this day as a religious festival and a memorial day for their deceased friends. It also is a night to practice various forms of divination. • The owl is a popular Halloween symbol. In Medieval Europe, owls were thought to be witches. • The first-known mention of trick-or-treating was found in print in 1927 in Blackie, Alberta, Canada. • Ireland is believed by many to be the birthplace of Halloween. • Both Salem, MA, and Anoka, MN, are the selfproclaimed Halloween capitals of the world. • Pumpkins are now carved and displayed as Halloween decorations. Orange is a color of strength and symbolic of the harvest. The largest pumpkin ever grown was more than 1,600 pounds. It was grown by Joe Jutras of North Scituate, RI. Halloween is a mysterious time, born of various festivals, rituals and symbolism. Over several centuries, the celebration has evolved into a holiday enjoyed by millions, each in their own different ways.

So many new or updated features, it’s a must see! Death’s head moth by Tom Turpin, Professor of Entomology, Purdue University I walked into one of those big box stores the other day and the three or four aisles filled with Halloween decorations caught my eye. In one of the aisles was a large sign that read “Boo Bugs.” When I checked it out there were all kinds of evil-looking black spiders with red eyes and lots of fake spider webbing. Prominently displayed were some butterfly-wing costumes complete with a pair of antennae. There were also several types of plastic beetles in various sizes, some of which were nearly a foot in length. So the “Boo Bug” section had lots of spiders, which aren’t insects, and some pretty butterfly costumes that didn’t seem much like Halloween to me. Beetles, though, might come a bit closer to being creatures worthy of inclusion in Halloween decorations. For starters, some beetles live rather ghoulish lives. There are burying beetles that bury the bodies of small animals such as mice and moles. The beetles and their offspring feed on the decaying carcass of the little mammals. Some beetles are known as dung beetles because they fashion balls of mammal dung to bury as food for their offspring. The Asian lady beetle is sometimes called the Halloween beetle because it shows up about that time of year, trying to find a way into our homes as a place to spend the winter. There is a species of beetle that I’ve often thought qualified to be associated with Halloween celebrations just because of its name. That insect has the common name of deathwatch beetle and the scientific name of Xestobium rufovillosum. This little beetle with the long name is less than one-half inch in length. It is a wood-boring beetle. The larvae of these beetles consume dry wood and in the process construct tunnels within the wood. Adult deathwatch beetles produce a sound by tapping their heads against the wood on top of the tunnels. Biologically, that is how the insects attract mates. The sound is not very loud, and people normally only hear it under very quiet conditions such as during the quiet of the night or at a bedside vigil for a dying person. Hearing the sound during a “death watch” gave the beetle its common name and contributed to speculation as to whether the sound was a predictor of the pending death. This rather macabre association of the beetle and human death has not escaped note within popular culture over the years. John Keats made note of it. So did Henry David Thoreau. Edgar Allan Poe used it in his short story “The Tell-Tale Heart” where the sound of the deathwatch beetle was mistaken for the beating of a dead man’s heart. Thomas Hood also makes reference to the deathwatch beetle in his “The Haunted House” with the line “The Death Watch tick’d behind the panel’d oak.” Hood mentioned insects, spiders and centipedes in “The Haunted House.” The insects included earwigs, maggots, crickets and a moth. The moth that Hood cited certainly should be included in any discussion of insects appropriately named for inclusion in creatures associated with Halloween. It is called the death’s head moth. This moth gets the name “death’s head” because of what resembles the marking of a human skull on its thorax. The death’s head moth is one of the sphinx moths that are also called hawk moths or hummingbird moths. In addition to the marking of the death’s head sphinx, it is an unusual moth for two other CANAJOHARIE APARTMENTS 52 Maple Ave. 2 BEDROOM APARTMENT Beautiful - Modern AC, Dishwasher, Range, Refrigerator Superior Service Rent $ 755 Month Includes Heat & Hot Water Call 518-673-8500 Your Hostess: Brenda Hill Richard Euler Real Estate Licensed Real Estate Broker 48 Church Street, Canajoharie, NY 13317 518-673-3677 richardeulerrealty.com MOHAWK Towne & Country Realty Sue Leavitt, Licensed Real Estate Broker Corner Rte. 5 & McKinley Rd., Palatine Bridge, NY • 518-673-5482 Your Own Waterfront Lot Something unusual…Small lot on Caroga Creek located on Wagner’s Hollow Rd. 371’ frontage x 60’ deep.

During our conversation I asked her if she had ever read a story I had written called “A Night At Harry’s.” There was a scene in it that involved her George. She hadn’t read it and asked, “What’s it about?” I began with, “You weren’t married at the time.” It was a Saturday night and Harry’s nightclub was mobbed. I had to push my way into the place and past the crowded bar. Couples were out on the floor dancing to the Contour’s “Do You Love Me.” I made my way to a rounded leather-lined booth where George was sitting oddly alone with his elbows resting on the table and his head in his hands. He looked depressed. “What’s the matter, George?” I asked above the loud music. He shook his cradled head. “I had her in the palm of my hand,” he groaned. “I was making all the right moves. She was hanging on every word I said. I lit her cigarette like a pro. But when I went to blow out the match my upper plate flew out on the table. She screamed and stood up on her seat!” It seems George had somehow broken his upper dentures and was keeping the two halves loosely in place with the back of his tongue which made him talk like Humphrey Bogart. “So where is she now?” I asked. “Dancing with that guy,” he said nodding towards a couple out on the floor. Shirley laughed and began to tell me her story about George. “You remember we owned two houses in town. When we were getting along we lived in the same house but when things weren’t so good we lived separately.” She went on to say that during one of the times they were living apart she bought a little dog she named Moe to keep her company. At the time she was on speaking terms with George and asked him to take the little pooch to his house while she went on an overnight trip to visit family. Arriving home, good natured George set the dog up in a blanket-lined cardboard box and retired for the night. When he awoke in the morning he reached for his then in tact upper plate but the teeth weren’t in the water glass on the night table where he had placed them. A brief search led to the dog in the blanket-lined box and the dentures that had been chewed on like a bone. Moe didn’t look at all guilty but George was miffed and picked the dog up as he headed for his car and Shirley’s house. She had just arrived home and when she came to the door her husband angrily thrust the little dog into her arms. “What’s the matter?” she wanted to know. “He chewed up my teeth!” George yelled before stepping back and letting the storm door slam. Then he abruptly turned and headed for his car. Frank Dibble a nosey friend and nearby neighbor phoned Shirley to learn what the commotion was all about. Later in the day Dibble met George on the steps of the post office downtown. “Hey George,” he said. “I saw Shirley’s new dog!” “So,” George said begrudgingly. “He’s got a smile just like yours!” George threw up his hands and headed for his mail box. “That’s a great story,” I told Shirley. “Did he ever get new teeth?” “Yeah,” she said. “His smile looked even better than Moe’s, so we moved back in together.” are appropriate insects to be included in any listing of “boo bugs” for Halloween. I bet Edgar Allan Poe would have agreed! Boo Bugs from B3 invades honey bee hives and drinks honey. Both behaviors are uncommon for moths. Edgar Allan Poe featured a death’s head moth in his story “The Sphinx.” In the story the moth is perceived to be a giant monster. It is later shown to be what it really is: “The Death’s headed Sphinx has occasioned much terror among the vulgar, at times, by the melancholy kind of cry which it utters, and the insignia of death which it wears upon its corslet.” I think that both the deathwatch beetle and the death’s head moth Deathwatch beetle ORIGINAL VALLEY PENNYSAVER October 31, 2015 • B5 MAPLE RIDGE BULK FOODS A Macs, Cortlands, Galas, Crispins, P Northern Spys, Empires, Macouns, Jonagold P Red & Yellow Delicious L 50¢ lb. • $6.50 1/2 bu. • $11.50 bu E AVAILABLE NOW WHILE SUPPLIES LAST S American Cheese Provolone Cheese Mozzarella Cheese 4yr Old Sharp Cheese $3.89 lb. $3.84 lb. $3.95 lb. $9.99 lb.

Back on Nov. 2, 1858, the U.S. Patent Office granted William 0rville Hickok of Harrisburg, PA two patents —one for the Screw Box and one for the Tap. The 43-year old Hickok wrote in his application for patent consideration “I have invented a new and useful improvement in dies for cutting screws on wood”. Fourteen years earlier — in 1844, William Orville Hickok established the Eagle Works and became a manufacturer of bookbinders’ specialties. His brilliant inventions would soon revolutionize the paper ruling industry. Today, the WO Hickok Manufacturing Company is still in Harrisburg, it’s a diversified company with many areas of machine manufacturing — Corner Cutter Manufacturing, Special Machine Parts manufacturing, Engineering-Drafting services, Welding services and Machine Shop services. If the name W.O. Hickok sounds familiar, Hickok’s grandson was the famous college football player at Yale, of the same name. Knicknamed “Wild Bill”, he is now in the College Football Hall of Fame.
