For more information email [email protected] or call Lisa at 635-7171 From the Desk of the Executive Director generated a lot of questions. Let me try to answer some of them. 1) How does a resident know if a tree being cut has been approved? Answer: If the tree being cut has been approved, it will be marked on the trunk with orange paint with the date of approval. The property owner should also have an “Approved Project” sign in their window while the work is being done. 2) What should I do if I suspect a tree is being cut illegally? Answer: Take a picture (or several pictures) of the tree being cut. Try to take the picture(s) so that it is easy to identify where the tree is/was and if possible, who was cutting it. Send the pictures to the RCA office; email works just fine or you may call the office and make arrangements to have them dropped off here. The one thing that is necessary when reporting a problem is that you identify yourself. We DO NOT divulge the source of the information to anyone outside of RCA staff with the possible exception of law enforcement personnel. 3) How do we see into the woods where some people take advantage? Answer: Sometimes we find out during random patrols of the pathways by the staff, but frequently residents call to report the problem. Again, anonymous calls are of no help. 4) Do the tree cutting services know the rules? Answer: Many, like Timber Trees, do and they follow the rules scrupulously. There are some fly-by-nighters that don’t, and when we catch them we inform them of what the rules are. However, it is always the resident’s responsibility to follow the rules. I hope answering some of these questions is helpful. Repeating from my last article…..On the positive side, the pool is open. Sign ups for the kids’ Summer Recreation Program and swim lessons are underway. Planning for the Luau and Founder’s day is coming along. We hope to have a great summer ready for the community. Stay tuned in to Reflections and the web site, www.radissoncommunity.org, for update and announcements concerning all these great activities. Stay Safe! 0000032124-01 Memorial Day has come and gone so I guess the summer season is upon us. I say summer season because summer won’t officially arrive until June 21st. The pool opened on time for the Memorial Day weekend, which given all that’s happened with the pool over the last two years, was a huge (and I mean Fucillo huge) sigh of relief for the staff and I. I really have to give our folks credit. They worked really hard over a short period to get the pool up and running, the fence fixed (we’ll be painting it soon), the new shower stalls installed and the massive clean-up needed every spring done. My hat is off to them. Other repairs are in progress as well as preparations to get all of the flower beds looking good.

Be sure to return your ASC approved window sign (the letter that is attached to your approval letter with your project number). The reason we ask for the sign to be returned is for review of the completed project and so we know if you finished your project. If you lost your window sign and completed your project, please email our Architectural Standards Administrator, John Mancinelli, at [email protected] or call the office at 635-7171 and let him know that you completed your project. ASC Meetings: June 9th and June 23rd ASC applications must be received by the Thursday prior to a scheduled ASC meeting. ASC Approvals The list, below, of Architectural Standards Committee approvals is not an official notification of approval. Only an approval letter from the Architectural Standards Committee certifies approval of a project. 3161 Alex Lane ........

DeFrancisco Recently we marked the unofficial start of summer by celebrating the long Memorial Day Weekend. There were picnics, parties and parades. We spent most of our time enjoying these wonderful activities, but how many of us actually stopped to think about the real reason for the holiday weekend? How many of us visited a cemetery to pay tribute to those who have died in our nation’s service? Memorial Day, which was originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have sacrificed their lives for our country. Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on May 5, 1868 by General John A. Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic. It was first observed on May 30, 1868 when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. New York was the first state to officially recognize the holiday in 1873. Nearly a century later, Memorial Day was declared a national holiday by an act of Congress in 1971. Today it is celebrated throughout our country every year on the last Monday in May. It is important for us to reflect on the meaning of Memorial Day and to remember the sacrifices of all of our veterans and military personnel, both past and present. It is also very important for us to acknowledge the American troops who are currently stationed around the globe fighting for our country, and to keep them in our prayers. Although Memorial Day has come and gone, let’s continue to think about ways we can honor and support our military members. For more information on how you can get involved please take the time to visit http://www.ourmilitary.mil/index. aspx. You can help by sending care packages, writing letters, sending phone cards, and/or donating to one of the many organizations established to aid the brave men and women who are fighting for our country and for our freedom. News From Assemblyman Will Barclay New Laws Would Improve Veteran Benefits Page 4 Reflections, June 5, 2009 individuals. Extend Military Pay Income Tax Exemption. A.4006 would extend the state income tax exemption to active duty troops stationed anywhere in the world. This legislation will exempt New York State income taxes for military personnel. This is necessary because they protect our freedoms both home and abroad, while being taxed as a permanent resident. This legislation would change this inequity in the tax law. Reserve Education Benefits for Surviving Family Members. A.4005 would allow surviving dependent family members of New York State military personnel who die while on active duty to receive free tuition, room and board at SUNY or CUNY institutions. There are several laws under a proposal known as “New York Homes for Heroes” that if passed would make buying and owning a home for veterans more affordable. Some of those laws include: Making the Affordable Home Ownership Development Program available to service-related disabled veterans (A.4080); Authorize the State Housing Finance Agency (HFA) to provide home purchase and rehabilitation assistance loans to honorably discharged New York State veterans of up to 20 percent of the value of the home (A.4081); Authorize SONYMA to purchase veterans assisted Forward Commitment Loans from banks with low down payments and at favorable interest rates (A.4083). If you would like to learn more about any of these proposed laws or if you have any questions or comments on this or any other state issue, or if you would like to be added to my mailing list or receive my newsletter, please contact my office. My office can be reached by mail at 200 North Second Street, Fulton, New York 13069, by e-mail at [email protected] or by calling (315) 598-5185.

Crafters and vendors are needed. If you are interested in participating in the show, please contact Rona Rich at 635-7481 for more information. CAN’T LOSE WEIGHT? GET A SECOND OPINION.

Patel, MD *Based on a stratified sample of 94 men over a six-year period. CLW-CC-241 As we paused to honor those who gave their lives to their country on Memorial Day, we were mindful of the many sacrifices they made for us and our country. In this time of honoring, we also remembered those who are still fighting to protect our great country and think of ways we can give back. On a state level, there are many laws that have been proposed that would improve benefits for veterans who return to New York after they have served. Below are some proposed laws in State Assembly that I sponsor. These laws, if passed, would provide some incentive for our veterans to come back home. Provide Child Care Cost Relief for New York State National Guard Families. A.4717 would provide financial relief for the families of NYS National Guard members when one or both parents have been called to federal active duty. This would ease the financial burden of day care for members of the organized militia of the State of New York who have been deployed by the federal government to participate in contingency operations outside of the continental United States or in operations within the United States that extend for a year or longer. Provide Wage Tax Credits for Businesses. A.4010 establishes a wage tax credit for businesses that employ members of the National Guard and Reserves and for businesses that fully comply with USERRA (Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act) requirements. This law would encourage employment of volunteer first responders by giving the employer a wage tax credit for hiring and retaining first responders. First responders get called away from their job for various reasons so this legislation would provide an incentive for employers to retain these dedicated �������������������������������� �������������������������������������������������� ���������������������������������������������������������� ������������ ���������������������������������������������� ���������������������������� Hip Resurfacing. ���������������������� ���������������������������������������� ����������������������������������� ���������������������������������������� ���� ��� ������������������������������������������ ������������������������ For younger, more active patients. ����������������������������������������������� ������� �������������������������������� ����������������� ��������������������� � ����������������� ������������������������������������������ ��������������������� �������� ������������� ������� Are you a candidate? �� ���������������� �������������� Hip resurfacing is a revolutionary alternative to complete hip replacement that is ideal for younger, more active patients.

The Fours are off to Kindergarten in the Fall. We have enjoyed spending time with them and wish them all well in their new adventures. As Spring started we have been talking about caterpillars and butterflies. The nursery school watched about 35 tiny caterpillars form chrysalises and turn into painted lady butterflies. We released them into the neighborhood, so maybe you will get a chance to see some of them in your backyard. The children learned all about the process of their development, read books and made their own caterpillars and butterflies to take home. The Three-year-olds also used their five senses when they painted with spices, sang songs, read books and used the scented water table. The Threes ended the year with a trip to Beaver Lake Nature Center. We took a walk through the woods and used our 5 senses to find things in nature. It was a little wet but everyone had a good time! We celebrated our last day with an ice cream social. The children shared ice cream with their families and said good-bye to friends until the Fall. The Four-year-olds enjoyed rides on the BIG slide and outdoor fun! We ended the year with a field trip to the Rosamond Gifford Zoo. The children and their families enjoyed seeing all the animals and sharing lunch with their friends. It was hard to say good-bye, knowing the children would be going off to kindergarten. We will miss them. Tateum Patnode, Will Weakley, Stephen and Eva Smith play dress-up. Tateum Patnode enjoys the feel of the sand. Zachary Sauro and Dayton Licklider show off their cool hats. Anne Brown, Keenan Smith, Olivia Piesins and Nora Wilson love the tire swing! Ethan Brogan enjoys his time as a pirate.

These young swimmers need time to learn without having more advanced and independent swimmers creating a distractive environment. PLEASE NOTE: If a child is above the age of 10 OR has passed the Basic Swim Test (BST) they ARE NOT allowed in the pool at this time since they can enter Open Swim without adult supervision. **Lap Swim is exclusively for adults (age 16 & up) to swim laps.

Lazan arrived in the United States in 1948 at the age of thirteen after surviving Nazi concentration camps, including Bergen-Belsen in Germany. During her presentation she recounted the ordeal of life in the camps. She told the sixth-graders her story is “the story Anne Frank would have told had she survived.” Lazan stressed to the students the importance of having hope regardless of the adversity they may face. She believes this hope is what enabled her and her family to endure and survive their ordeal. She also urged students to exercise tolerance and respect for others and to share the facts of the Holocaust with future generations so that this period of history will never be repeated. Lazan gave a second presentation in the evening for the public at Baker High School. Both of her presentations were sponsored by Ray Middle School’s PTA. Lazan is the author of “Four Perfect Pebbles,” her written account of the Holocaust. About one million people in 31 states and in Germany and Israel have heard her inspiring story. This is the fifth year Lazan has given her presentation to the students of Ray Middle School. Marion Lazan shares her story of life in Nazi concentration camps with students at Ray Middle School.
