Common Mistakes after a Car Accident

Written By Editor on 3/5/17 | 3/5/17

By Michael Ehline

While many drivers are careful, a car accident changes things dramatically. Even the most cautious driver can make rash decisions, especially if they or a loved one is injured. Often, the most desired aspect a crash victim seeks is normalcy. In other words, they just want their life the way that it was.

This can cause a number of issues. One is because of the way the insurance system works. Insurance adjusters' jobs are to be as discerning as possible with claims. This means that in many cases, companies toss out legit claims. Many insurance companies pressure their clients into taking the lowest amount of money possible. In others, bad faith insurers refuse to pay out at all.

Often these different concerns are caused by common mistakes made by drivers after a crash. One is to accept an offer from their insurance company without consulting their attorney first. Furthermore, some drivers do not document the scene of the accident. Taking photos and including notes from the scene establish what happen. Victims and their attorneys interview witnesses to get a fuller picture. In some cases attorneys work with accident reconstructionists to lay out the whole situation. All of these have their own place in the overall picture.

Many crash victims don't think far enough ahead. Often long term costs, including rehabilitation are ignored. Furthermore, many do not realize the trauma of pain and suffering following a crash. Many aspects of an accident cannot be fully realized until after. Thus, in some cases the family of the injured see a very different lifestyle. A skilled attorney helps reduce the chances of such tragedies.

The Mayor's Nest: Seeking Volunteers for Local Office

The Mayor's Nest

Seeking Volunteers for Local Office

Across the region, the signs of election season will be popping up all over. In this case, it will likely be literal signs. Some of the villages and most of the school districts will hold elections this spring. At the town and county levels, gears are already turning toward fall races.

While some of the races can get nasty, they’re most often unopposed. In some cases, there are no other candidates, but in many there should be more involvement. The first race I ran in the Village of Middleburgh in 2006 saw about a 9% voter turnout. (Editor’s note: I lost) Many of the other races see similar low turnout, especially if they’re not in November.

What’s the solution? Well, voting certainly helps but that is just a portions. Getting involved in local efforts is a major step up. There are multiple appointed boards needing members, including Planning, Zoning, Assessment, and more. For some, there is a chance to run for office to make the area a better place. If you’re over 18 and have a heart and drive to improve your community, it’s might be just the job for you.

It’s not hard to run for local office. In most cases, it involves getting a number of signatures or attending a caucus. Winning, on the other hand, is not as simple. A campaign can be strenuous and teach you a lot about yourself and the people of the community. I know I’ve made lifelong friends and even family through the people I’ve met over the last decade.

Of course, there are some drawbacks: late night meetings, little or no pay, and making tough decisions, but each come with the territory. It’s also a chance to leave your town, village, school, or more better than you found it.

If you’re thinking about it-- go for it!

Cuomo: Stop Automatic Prosecution of 16 and 17 Year Olds

Written By Editor on 3/4/17 | 3/4/17

The following is a statement from Governor Cuomo:

New York is one of just two states in the nation that automatically prosecutes 16- and 17-year olds as adults, no matter the offense.

But the adult criminal justice system is no place for young people. Without age appropriate facilities, they face greater risk of assault, sexual violence and higher rates of suicide. And when young people are treated as adults by the criminal justice system, they are more likely to be rearrested and reincarcerated than those processed as juveniles.

By raising the age of adult criminal responsibility to 18, New York can reduce crime, lower recidivism rates, save taxpayer dollars, and provide young offenders with access to services to help get them back on track.

In New York, of the 27,000 teenagers arrested in 2015, approximately 86 percent were arrested for nonviolent crimes yet, nonetheless, they were processed through the adult criminal justice system. This issue also disproportionately affects young people of color: Black and Hispanic youth make up only 33% of the 16 and 17 year olds statewide but represent 72% of all arrests.

This injustice isn’t only unfair, it poses a serious public safety issue: Youth who are processed as adults have higher recidivism rates and often commit crimes more egregious than their original offense.

Under my proposal, young people will have access to specialized services that will reduce recidivism rates, lower youth crime rates, and provide significant public safety benefits for all New Yorkers -- including preventing up to 2, 400 crimes every five years.

So once again this year I am renewing my call to Raise The Age and to ensure that 16 and 17 year olds are treated as juveniles when they commit nonviolent crimes. That they receive the services and support they need in an age appropriate facility.

Some problems have no clear or proven solution. This one does. Recognize the distinction between youths and adults, and ensure that 16- and 17-year-olds who commit less serious crimes are processed as juveniles.

Women's College Basketball: SUNY Cobleskill Loses to Springfield College 54-42 in ECAC Tournament First Round Contest

Written By Editor on 3/2/17 | 3/2/17

The SUNY Cobleskill women’s basketball team ended their season on Wednesday evening by losing to the host Springfield College in the opening round of the 2017 Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Championship Tournament by a score of 54-42. With the loss the Fighting Tigers end their season with a 14-12 overall record while the Pride will now advance to the tournament’s quarterfinal round to be played at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pa. on Friday March 3^rd with a 19-8 overall mark.

Despite a slow offensive start that saw Cobleskill connect on only 10-of-32, 31.3%, shots from the field, the Orange and Black trailed only 28-26 at the half as their defense held the Pride to an equally icy 10-of-29, 34.5%, shooting from the field while forcing the home team into eight turnovers in the stanza.

The duo of senior guard/forward Ashley Creighton, Niskayuna, N.Y., Catholic Central High

School/Schenectady Community College, with eight points and four rebounds and senior forward Shelby Preston, Ravena, N.Y., Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk High School, with seven points and six rebounds did the bulk of the damage for the visitors as the Fighting Tigers answered the Pride basket-for-basket during the half.

After the break Cobleskill came our aggressively in the third quarter and took a 31-30 lead with 8:08 left in period when Shelby Preston powered up inside for a lay-up. But from that point on Springfield controlled play outscoring their guests by an 11-to-2 margin the rest of the way to take a 41-33 lead into the final quarter.

The fourth quarter proved frustrating for the Fighting Tigers as their defense kept the Pride in check holding them to only 2-for-11, 18.2%, along with forcing four turnovers. However they could not cut into the lead as Springfield came up with five critical offensive rebounds and converted on 9-of-12, 75.0%, of their free throw opportunities down the stretch to secure the victory.

Shelby Preston closed her Cobleskill career by posting her 58^th career double/double with 13 points and 10 rebounds while freshman guard Addy Lawson, Milford, N.Y., Milford High School, added 11 points, five rebounds and three assists on the night.

The Fighting Tigers also received solid efforts from Ashley Creighton with eight points, seven rebounds and four steals and from freshman Shaliyah Graham, Bronx, N.Y., Martin Luther King Jr. High School, with eight points and five rebounds.

'Two Women Four Hands' Exhibit to Open at C-GCC

Written By Editor on 2/28/17 | 2/28/17

An art exhibit featuring two women who make their living with the techniques
of sewing and knitting will open March 9 at 12:30 p.m. in the Foundation
Gallery at Columbia-Greene Community College.

The show, entitled "Two Women Four Hands," features the work of artists
Cynthia Atwood and Julia Baier. Through their artwork, according to a
statement by the artists, they "liberate" the traditional work of women.

Atwood works as a fabricator of custom drapes for private clients and
decorators. Her sewing skills have crossed into her studio, and she makes
objects motivated by her attraction to materials and the pleasure she takes
in handling them. She says work is sculptural and is "an exaggerated
reference to the body: inexplicable and sensuous."

Baier's work includes a group of knitted wall pieces that explores a tactile
response to the material. Some of the reliefs draw attention to the origin
of what she uses to create the pieces: goat, rabbit, sheep and yak hair.

Both artists consider their stereotype and play with it, provoking humor and
an innovative approach to materials.

Atwood has spent the past 30 years in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, as an
artist participating in local and regional exhibitions.  She holds a B.F.A.
in painting and printmaking from the University of Kansas and an M.F.A. in
visual arts/sculpture from Vermont College of Fine Arts, Montpelier.

In 2016, Atwood exhibited at Six Depot in West Stockbridge, Mass., and
received a fellowship from the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. She is
an artist/teacher for M.F.A. students at New Hampshire Institute of Art,
Manchester, and Vermont College of Fine Arts.

Baier was born in Germany and at age 12 moved to a small family farm in
rural New England, where she learned how to knit, crochet and sew. She
received a B.F.A. from Hampshire College, Amherst, Mass., in sculpture,
making work with a focus on natural found-objects: sticks, beeswax and
string.

She spent ten years in the film and photography business as a production
assistant and prop-stylist, in San Francisco and New York City. After the
birth of her children, she found employment in knitwear design, work she
could do at home while raising her children. She currently creates knitted
wall pieces that combine her love of natural materials and the sculptural
form.

The Show will be on display through April 21. Gallery hours are Monday to
Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (518) 828-4181,
extension 3241.

C-GCC is located on state Route 23 in Greenport, one mile east of the Rip
Van Winkle Bridge. Route 23 can be reached from Exit 21 of the New York
State Thruway or the Hudson exit of the Taconic Parkway.

Written By Editor on 2/27/17 | 2/27/17

Fr. James Krueger of Saint James Church Lake Delaware will lead a Lenten study focusing on the Metropolitan Anthony Bloom’s book entitled Beginning to Pray. Copies of the book will be provided. The first class will be held on Tuesday, March 7, following a supper at the Saint James Rectory (house) at 6pm. The series will continue on Tuesday evenings throughout the Lenten period. All are welcome to attend the class regardless of church membership. Saint James Church Lake Delaware is located at 55 Lake Delaware Drive, Delhi, 13753 on southbound State Route 28 halfway between Delhi and Andes. More information can be had by contacting the church at 607-832-4401 or saintjames@delhitel.net. You may also visit their website at www.stjameslakedelaware.net.

Metropolitan Anthony Bloom (1914 – 2003) was best known as a writer and broadcaster on prayer and the Christian life. He was a monk and Metropolitan bishop of the Russian Orthodox Church. He was founder and for many years bishop - then archbishop, then metropolitan - of the Diocese of Sourozh, the Patriarchate of Moscow's diocese for Great Britain and Ireland. As a bishop he became well known as a pastor, preacher, spiritual director and writer on prayer and the Christian life.

Saint James Church Lake Delaware has committed itself to providing the people of Delaware County a little taste of heaven on earth through historically accurate, beautiful, Spirit-filled and uplifting worship, of which the celebration of the Sunday Eucharist is central.
