January 26, 2013Hello Again,

Here I sit with pen in hand, which is said to be mightier than a sword. I can’t think of a single bat-

tle to fight or a fair damsel to rescue.

So here we go — Hello Again, again. I’ve noticed that every time my wife answers a phone ring from

one of the kids (the oldest kid is 52), the conversation starts off with food. “What did you have for

supper last night?” or if she knows they were at a restaurant, “What was their specialty?” or some-

thing like that. Well we can’t easily discuss your last evening meal so I’ll tell you a little about ours.

We had a late lunch and decided to settle for a sandwich with a cup of tea for dinner. In Republican

circles it is said — Republicans enjoy dinner at 7:00 p.m. while Democrats eat supper at 5:00. We eat

when we are hungry. Socialists eat at someone else’s table, especially at a fellow taxpayer’s expense.

My wife enjoyed a chicken sandwich. I settled for a bean sandwich. I truly enjoy an old-fashioned

baked bean sandwich with homemade bread and tomato catsup. You know, the real-true-genuine old-

fashioned American home baked beans.

Sing along with Mitch, “American beans — the musical fruit — the more you eat — the more you

toot — the more you toot — the better you feel, then you are ready for another meal,” — of American

beans.

When I talk with my family in Ireland the opening remark is always, “How’s the weather over there?”

as if 3,000 miles away, the weather condition is newsworthy. Well maybe more important than last

night’s supper.

Thinking or chatting about weather, if you are in my age group, above 39, “way-way” above 39, you

can remember the very heavy snowfall winters. Over in the hills, some of the country roads would stay

snow-plugged for days.

Even in the 1950s, roads such as Hubbard’s Hill, Murphy Hill near Cooperstown, Vickerman Hill

between Mohawk and Richfield Springs, and Prey Hill east of W. Winfield were dreaded during a blizzard.

Even the largest snowplow trucks such as Walters Snow Fighter plows could not handle the deep

snowdrifts and large trucks with mounted blowers were brought in to open the roads.

When I start digging into upstate New York business history, I grow more amazed. A friend’s loan of

a Walter Motor Truck Company brochure reinforced my interest in the Walter trucks.

The who is who or what is what and where is where in the business world seems to light up like the

brightest lights on a Christmas tree.

For example: in 1883 a Swiss immigrant, William Walter, established himself as a manufacturer of

candy machinery. In addition to the candy equipment, he built passenger cars in New York City from

1904 to 1909. His autos were of the highest quality.

In 1909, his factory on West 60th Street in New York City started producing trucks and in 1911 his

first 4-wheel drive trucks appeared.

In 1929 the first Walter Snow Fighter appeared. Despite Walter’s success in automobiles he decid-

ed the future lay in trucks. In 1957 he moved the Walter Motor Truck Company to Voorheesville.

Voorheesville is near Albany.

It appears the Walter Company basically manufactured only large trucks, such as the giant Walter

Snow Fighter and airport crash trucks. These trucks were shipped to governments and airports all

over the world.


Walter’s motto was, “We have always been a New York company and always will be.” We have learned

that the Franklin car was built in Syracuse, NY. The Walter cars and trucks in New York City and

Voorheesville, NY, and the Brockway truck was also a New York State product.

It’s cold today. About 18 degrees. A good day to sit near a fireplace with a Louis L’Amour novel,

relax, read, and drift in and out with private thoughts. Do you ever do that? — find a favorite com-

fortable, quiet spot. Sit and read and drift off into your own world? It’s one of those great pleasures

which is absolutely our own. Those thoughts or dreams are ours and ours alone. No one can share or

take away those special moments.

At such times, I allow my thoughts to drift back in time or look forward to a new adventure. Often

I try to share those thoughts with the Lord. I wonder, did I author my thoughts and dreams or did

the Heavenly Father place these thoughts so I could and would become aware?

Last night my wife Sylvia and I went out to an Italian restaurant. We both decided to not order

spaghetti, lasagna, or stuffed shells, which are a few of our favorite dishes. We both ordered open

steak sandwiches and were pleased and surprised at the extra large cut. Sylvia ordered French fries

which I helped her eat and left my mashed potatoes. Have you ever noticed how wonderful most

restaurants create such mouth-watering meat and pasta dishes? However, they should all hire an

Irish housewife to teach them how to make Irish mashed potatoes or rename them on the menu to:

Almost-Soup, or Whipped Mush Potatoes, or be honest enough to place a little star next to their non-

French fried potatoes and at the bottom of the sheet leave a caution sign: *We don’t recommend. Or

an inquiry, “Do you know where Mrs. Murphy lives?” However, our steaks, salad bar, Sylvia’s fries, and

the services proved to be wonderful and will certainly return. I just won’t order mashed potatoes.

Hope they don’t read this or the next time we decide to go there, Sylvia may find her husband with

his feet sticking out of the nearest snow bank.

We need advice or help. Lee Publications now with 12 trade publications, 10 trade shows, along with

a very busy print shop, 6 shopping guide papers — 2 Pennysavers and 4 DollarSavers, would like to

hire 2 or 3 day per week advertising sales persons. This position would be ideally suited to a lady

who would like to receive $300 weekly guaranteed salary with additional bonuses. These sales

people — women or men — would work on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.

How can we get this message out to these ladies or men? If you know of someone who would be

interested, please have them phone Bruce Button at 518-673-0104 or John Snyder at 518-673-

0129. Ladies — or gentlemen — selected will be trained by our staff.

A government tour guide at the Grand Canyon told a group of city dwellers and two farmers, “It

took millions of years to carve out this magnificent canyon.” One of the farmers could be overheard

saying, “It must have been a government project.”

You do not need to be ill or half-scared to death to pray to God, nor do

you need a credit check. You will learn God will listen and keep your thoughts

secret. God’s answer to prayer always is best.

If your feet are getting cold throw another chunk of wood in the stove.

Curl up with an afghan and read the Pennysaver.

God bless you — your family — and friends. Friends who pray together

are special, and stay together.

Fred Lee and the Lee Family

Pocket knives may seemlike a modern tool, but truth-fully they date back tomedieval times. “Foldingknives” existed during theRoman Empire but, with theFall of the Roman Empire, fellout of popularity, not to reap-pear until either the thir-teenth or fourteenth century.These ancient knives resem-bled razors with crescent-

shaped handles.The pocket knife most used

in America came to the “NewWorld” from Sheffield,England and was developed

around 1660. Early farmersand coachmen in Americaused pocket knives for a vari-ety of daily needs, includingcleaning horse’s hooves.

BridalBridal


by Elizabeth A. TomlinLooking at the

handcrafted wood-

work designed and

built by Wayne

Bouton, it’s hard to

believe that less than

5 short years ago — in

2008 — he suffered a

severe stroke. The

stroke not only left

him without the use of

his left side, but also

robbed him of his abil-

ity to speak and a

nearly 80 percent loss

of vision in his left eye.

Because of his loss of

speech he had to write

everything he wanted

to communicate for

over 8 months.

Wayne, a retired

contractor originally

from Delaware Coun-

ty, who moved to Fort

Plain about 2 years

ago, credits his friends

and family for his

recovery.

He and son Jacob

have been worked

together for years.

“I’m training him,”

Wayne stated. “Jacob

had worked with me

building houses for 9

years. But because of

my health, I can’t build

houses anymore.”

Bouton says he’s

gone from building

houses for people to

building birdhouses

and doghouses.

However, he builds

much more than that!

And the quality and

elaborate woodwork

and stonework that go

into what he creates is

far beyond what is

commonly found.

An electric fireplace

in an exquisite cabinet

made of wood and

soapstone is displayed

in his workshop. This

was a special order

from one customer.

“I take special

orders, refinish furni-

ture, repair and make

trim and custom

moldings, I can do

anything with wood,”

Bouton said.

Although he is now

in a small 378 square

foot workshop,

Bouton plans to be

moving to a storefront

at 84 Main St. in Fort

Plain, by April.

“This spring, about

the time the flowers

start to bloom, I’ll be

blooming over there,”

he laughed.

Bouton has also

donated some of his

fine work to local

fund-raisers and is

currently building a

coffee table with draw-

ers for another

upcoming benefit.

He acknowledges

that his ability is a

“gift” and that detail is

one of the things he

focuses on when

designing his cre-

ations.

Wayne, who still has

about 89 percent

nerve damage in his

left side, has advice for

others who have suf-

fered a stroke. “Fight

it,” he said. “When I

had the stroke I fig-

ured this is it. I’m

done. But you can

overcome it. It’s hard.

It’s a long, long road.

But it can be done.”

tion call J&W

Jake and Wayne Bouton display a handcrafted

cabinet made of wood and soapstone that

houses an electric fireplace.

Jake watches as Wayne demonstrates

how the pieces of a coffee table he is

constructing will fit together.

by David UffingtonTen ways to save

Remember how great it felt to get 2

percent more in your paycheck twoyears ago when the Social Securitytax was reduced? For 2011 and 2012,the rate for employees went from 6.2percent down to 4.2 percent.

Now that 2 percent tax is back, andyour paycheck will be 2 percentsmaller. Even if you were luckyenough to receive a raise in the mean-while, the price of groceries alone hasfollowed suit. With 2 percent takenfrom your current paycheck, you’lllikely feel the pinch.

There are places, however, where youcan find money to make up that 2 per-cent, and maybe more. The NationalFoundation for Credit Counseling hasoffered up a list of 10 suggestions foradding dollars back into your budget.• Adjust your withholding. If you re-

ceive a tax refund every year, you’re es-sentially giving the government an in-

terest-free loan. Adjust your deductionsso you get more of that money in yourpaycheck. Use the worksheet atwww.irs.gov.

• Pay with cash. You’ll save the inter-est and fees you would be charged us-ing a credit card.

• Refinance. If you own a home, inves-tigate whether refinancing will get you alower monthly payment.

• Find $10 in each of 10 categoriesper month. Shave $10 off the grocerybill. Rent a movie instead of going to atheater. Use the library instead of buy-ing books. Turn down the thermostatone degree F. Take your morning coffeefrom home instead of stopping on theway to work.

• Do it yourself. Don’t pay for thingsyou can do yourself, such as lawn mow-ing, house cleaning and easy interiorprojects such as painting.

• Change your habits. Don’t automat-ically buy weekly lottery tickets. Readnewspapers online.

• Declutter, especially if you have arented storage space. You’ll save themonthly fee, and if you sell the extraitems, you can pocket that money, too.

• Get comparisons on all your insur-ance policies — auto, home, life. Askabout discounts for combining policiesor good driving.

• Check your bank statement foravoidable fees. Get enough cash so youdon’t have to use non-network ATMS. Iffees are not negotiable for other bankservices, consider changing banks.

• Turn your skills into cash. Noteveryone knows what you do, and oth-ers might pay for your abilities.

(BPT) — Winter means updating yourouterwear to include mittens and athermal jacket, but before you hit theroad, have you also updated your win-ter driving skills? When temperaturesdrop, roads can become more danger-ous, meaning you need to changehow you drive.

Steve Magnante, SPEED collec-tor car expert and “On-the-Block” reporter, offers somevaluable tips for driving smartand staying safe on the unpre-dictable roads of winter:

1. Top rule of winter driving:slow down

Winter brings snow, ice and sleet, andthese variables change how your vehiclegrips and moves on the road. Stayingalert and slowing down is the first stepof safe winter driving, because you nev-er know the exact road conditions orhow your car might react to them.

2. Keep an eye out for the unknownFirst, always be aware of other drivers

on the road. “Even though you might bea great driver, sometimes there are peo-ple around you that didn’t get the mes-sage,” says Magnante. “Keep a nice dis-tance between you, and the peoplearound you, particularly if there arepeople in front of you because if you arefollowing too close and they have to hitthe brakes hard, you could be in trou-ble.”

Second, watch for virtually invisibleblack ice, which appears as shiny, blackor wet tar on the road, and can leavedrivers with little-to-no traction whenthey hit it.

3. Test your winter driving skillsToday’s modern cars come with a

plethora of safety featuresthat protect pas-sengers, particu-

larly in tough win-ter environ-ments, but

that doesn’t meanyou won’t have toadjust how you

drive to stay safe.

While specialized winter driving coursesdo exist, they may not be available insome areas. If you can’t take a course,Magnante recommends finding an emp-ty, open space (make sure it’s legal),

and seeing how your car behaveson winter driving surfaces.

“If you can drive aroundon snow in a way that you’re

going slowly, but youcan cut the wheel

hard, brake hard, youcan learn some lessons

about what it is to be driv-ing on snow in a placewhere you can’t hurt your-

self or your car, likebehind a Walmart

parking lot,” says Magnante.4. Navigate ice and snow with cautionIf you live in an area that gets a lot of

ice or pack snow and it’s allowed, stud-ded snow tires are a worthy investment.

If you only encounter ice periodicallyduring winter, try to drive on the areasof roads that have been treated withsand and salt. If you do slide, he says,“steer into the skid. For example, if thetail of the car is coming out to the right,you want to turn to the right, ratherthan turn into the left, giving the rearmore momentum to swing the cararound and spin out.”

5. Use your common sense and beprepared

When it comes to heading out on theroad, trust your gut feeling and useyour common sense. If the weather con-ditions are rough and your travelsaren’t absolutely necessary, stay homeuntil things improve. If you do drive,pack some emergency supplies such as

ab l a n -k e t ,boots,insulat-ed mit-tens, asmall shoveland always haveyour cell charged and ready. Considerstoring an extra jug of windshield an-tifreeze in the trunk so if you run out,you can refill and keep your windowsand vision clear.

Magnante adds, “You may want checkyour insurance policy and enhance it inareas, especially if yourkids are driving thecar.”

(BPT) — Winter and colder tempera-tures are notorious for creating difficultdriving conditions that can place strainon drivers and their vehicles. And as thetemperature drops this winter, so willyour gas mileage.

Colder temperatures mean cold oil,tires and cold air in the carburetor —all factors that reduce gas mileage.With higher prices linger-ing at the gas pumps, afew fuel-saving tips canhelp protect your miles pergallon (MPG) this winter.Warm your car up

the right wayMany people be-

lieve the myth that you mustwarm your car up in thewinter. The truth is thatidling your car actuallydestroys your MPG and is-n’t necessary.

Modern cars don’t require a warm-up,even when the temperatures drop belowzero, according to AAA. Modern en-

gines, those built since about 1990,have fuel injection systems rather thancarburetors and need no more than 10to 30 seconds to get oil moving throughthe engine properly.

Auto experts recommend drivingmoderately in cold weather to allow the

engine and other systems towarm up slowly and reduce wear and

tear. So even though manypeople choose to warm uptheir car in the winter for

personal comfort or to defrostwindows, idling a vehicle for

more than even oneminute is simply

wasting gas.Get your car winter readyFrom changing the oil tochecking the tire pressureon a regular basis, improv-

ing your winter gas mileage iseasier than you might think.

“Your vehicle’s motor oil becomesthicker in colder temperatures, whichadds stress to the engine,” says JimRossbach, CHS director of technicalservices and quality. “Try a thinnergrade of oil to keep your engine runningsmoothly in the colder months.” Ross-bach recommends using a high-per-forming synthetic oil like Cenex Max-tron, which is designed to perform wellin low temperatures and improve fueleconomy.

Proper tire inflation can also improvefuel economy by up to 3 percent, ac-cording to the U.S. Department of Ener-

gy. It is important to check tire pressureseveral times throughout the winterwhen colder temperature can reducetire pressure at a rate of one pound persquare inch (PSI) for every 10 degreeschange.

Lighten the loadExtra weight from cargo or snow also

reduces fuel efficiency. Cleaning outyour car and clearing off heavy snow isan easy way to get better gas mileage.

In the past, carrying sandbags in thetrunk was a common method for gain-ing more traction and helping rear-

wheel drive cars perform better on snowand ice. Today, most cars are front-wheel drive with the engine over thefront wheels, creating that same grip.Carrying extra weight does not addtraction on snow and ice, but simplylowers your fuel economy.
