Nobody's Prefect
Mon, November 2, 2009 @ 2:03PM
I don't take any special pleasure in criticizing others, but some mistakes need to be pointed out, especially when they are committed by people who are supposed to be authority figures or role models. What follows is the text of a press release we received a while back from one of our area schools. I have redacted certain words so as to limit any potential embarrassment on the part of the teacher or administrator responsible: The [...] Department and [...] at the High School are proud to once again continue the student of the month program for [...] High School's students. Students that are selected by their teachers for expectional behavior and academics take a limosine to [...] Resteraunt for lunch.This program is a unique oppruntity for many students that may never ride in a limosine or have a chance to eat at the [...] Resteraunt. Both the [...] and the [...] Department would like to extend a special thank you to [...] and [...

The fat lady has sung -
Wed, November 4, 2009 @ 11:17AM
OK, let’s get it out of the way, I fit the description but nevertheless I am not going to sing but the elections are now over. Well, the voting is over, yet the constructive comments and cheap shots will continue for a few days. I will be criticized for our endorsements, our coverage, our website and it won’t surprise me that somehow, someone will feel it was our fault that the voting machines weren’t working. I repeat, the comments are always welcomed and I love the fact that people take such ownership of their local newspaper. My hope is that the answers are at least given some consciousness consideration and the staff is given a little respect that they deserve. Today I was greeted, at a morning chamber event, with “I knew Dayton would win the minute you didn’t endorse him”. I didn’t miss a beat, asking with sincerity if he would please join the editorial board for the next election. He didn’t give me an answer.

Theeeeeee Yankees Win!!!!
Thu, November 5, 2009 @ 11:52AM
Since one of the reasons I've fallen behind in my postings to the Big Apple Sports Birthday blog is because I had to closely follow my Yankees during their just-completed postseason play, I would be remiss if I did not offer my observations on the team's performance during the drive to their 27th World Series title. What was good about it: Mariano Rivera isn't just the best reliever in the game now, he's the best there's ever been. And after watching him do what he did against the Twins, Angels and Phillies, I'm telling you he is the best there will ever be. I've been following Yankee baseball closely for the past fifty years and during that time, nobody has been a more valuable Yankee both on the field and in the clubhouse than Derek Jeter. It was so good to see Andy Pettitte pitch the way he pitched. CC Sabathia turned out to be the "ace" we needed to push us over the top.

Farmers Markets and veggies
Tue, November 3, 2009 @ 3:02PM
This blog is about the Fulton/Montgomery county farm markets, their vendors, growing and handling veggies , fruits,plus other places to purchase them. I am the present market manager of two markets, Johnstown and Gloversville, and I reside on a huge dairy/vegetable farm locally. I have found this job to be very interesting, never dull, enlightening, and sometimes challenging. I grew up in the country and since we did a lot of gardening, I really thought someday I would find a great job that used all of my skills; well I think this one does. Not only do I assist customers and vendors with queries, but I use my cooking skills, to make tasty samples for everyone. But enough about me, just tune in every week for updates on local events, recipes, and other exciting stories. I also hope I can meet some new vendors through this blog and of course enlighten enough people to become customers. Don't anyone miss out on the indoor winter market.
