Thanks to Christmas

by Kaylee Peters

What if we didn’t have Christmas what if,
We couldn’t spend Christmas with our family,
Or we couldn’t wish our friends a Merry Christmas.
Or we couldn’t make memories on this special day,
Or we couldn’t do the things we do on Christmas,
Thanks to God we don’t have to worry about that,
He gave us Jesus and Jesus’ birthday,
He gave us family time,
He gave us memories,
He gave us Merry Christmas,
He gave us that day, that moment,
That we spend doing the stuff we love with people we love,
So Christmas isn’t about presents,
Or toys or decoration or who gets what,
It’s about Jesus,
And what he has given us,
So Thank-You

TROY, NY — As he sat at his locker stall Tuesday at RPI’s Houston Field House, Myles Stoesz sported a badge of his role for the Albany Devils. The area around Stoesz’s left eye was discolored, and just above the cheekbone he sported a gash.

“This was from the (helmet) visor,” he said, pointing to the gash received in a fight with Toronto’s Kyle Neuber, “and this (left eye) is the one punch that hit me.”

Sydney R.C. Reimer began flying in 1965 as a recreational activity. His first plane was a two-seater with a small engine. Later, when planes became bigger and faster, they also became more useful to Syd.  He found he could carry more people and fly faster to meetings in other provinces and states. Syd transported ministers, missionaries and evangelists to their meetings, MDS workers to their job sites, and took government officials on flights to survey flood and tornado damage. What had started as a recreational hobby, soon turned into a useful means of transportation.

After about 45 years of flying, having carried well over 2000 passengers, with 2144 hours in his log book and crossing over 300 000 miles, Syd logged his last flight on June 6, 2009.

Americans love to grill out at all times of the year.In fact, according to the 2010 Weber GrillWatch Survey, almost half (49 percent) of all 2010 study respondents cited they grill or smoke-cook year-round, including 37 percent at or below freezing temperatures. But, when it comes to cleaning the grill, there’s no love.

A local father and his son say they have a created a solution that takes the scrubbing out of cleaning the grill. The Grill Blaster doesn’t require brushing, though it does come with a steel brush “just to get rid of the ash.”

“The simplicity is the key,” said son Chris Kehler. Continue reading “Kehler Family Turns Household Chore Into Breeze”
