Hoosick Falls Girl Scout Troop #1313 and three chaperones spent five days in mid-August 2009 enjoying the sites of Washington, DC. This trip comes after three years of planning and fundrais-ing efforts, so the young women were sure to fit in as much sightseeing as they could – covering many miles on foot and Metrorail. They listened to a U.S. Military Band in front of the Washington Monument, toured the national monuments by day and night, went to four of the Smithsonian Museums (Holocaust, Air & Space, Natural History, and American History), had a tour of the Capitol and Senate Chambers, visited the Library of

Congress, spent time at the White House Visitor’s Center and grounds, toured Arlington National Cemetery, spent a day at the National Zoo, took in the beautiful architecture of Washington and the LeDroit Park neighborhood where they stayed, and much more!

The trip was a memorable experience for Matty Blair, Samantha Brewer, Lauren Conte, Ayla Graney, Paige Graney, and Amanda Middleton, all of whom are students at Hoosick Falls Central School. They are all very aware that this trip could not have

■ Telly’s TAKE ■

By Telly Halkias

It takes Rahob Rinpoche Thupten Kalsang a little longer these days to ascend to his throne, steadying himself with every step up toward the seat after setting down his walking stick.

But Rinpoche (pronounced RIN-puh-shay), 75, is not roy-alty. A native Tibetan monk, he is the resident priest at the Rahob Dharma Center, an enclave of Buddhist religion and medita-tion in Petersburg, New York.

He sees his work at the Rahob Dharma Center as an opportuni-ty to extol the benefits of medita-tion in a non-sectarian manner.

“Many people think you have to convert to Buddhism to gain benefits from meditation,” Rinpoche said. “That’s really not the case. We welcome equally Christians, Jews, Muslims and even those who don’t identify with a religion. Meditation is about something within you, but to get there is not an easy thing.”

The farm consists of a Dharma center for weekly worship, an education center that can also serve as quarters for monks, and a meditation hall that is open for visitors throughout the week. Rinpoche also holds numerous retreats, and conducts education-al outreach.

Harmony in the Hills

For his part, Rinpoche claims that experience is a necessary element in realizing the benefits of meditation as taught at the Rahob Dharma Center or any-where else.

“Locals and visitors come here and study and read much in books, but that is just knowledge,” Rinpoche said. “Actual practice in meditation is necessary. True awareness comes from within and is like a sweet fruit — you must have a taste of it for your-self.”

For more information on the Rahob Dharma Center and its meditation and education pro-grams, call 518-658-8811 or visit www.rahob.org.

Bennington, is a freelance writer and editor. E-mail:

Instructors Earn HonorsAlicia Betit, a student at Mount Anthony, has been promoted to 1st

degree Black Belt and holds the record of being the youngest student in the history of Sikaran Karate to reach that level. After extensive test-ing including Forms, Weapons, Self-Defense techniques and Fighting, Alicia was required to teach classes for the attending students and suc-cessfully complete an oral examination before receiving her new rank and the coveted Black Belt.

Leo Betit, Head Instructor for the Karate Center was honored by being promoted to third degree Black Belt (SANDAN). After prov-ing himself as a senior instructor, among his many required tasks, Sensei Betit had to prepare and teach classes to all the students present, perform testing on forms and weapons, fighting multiple opponents including those with weapons, the history and background of Sikaran Karate.

Joe Bump, founder and co-owner of the Mount Anthony Karate Center was promoted to Master Level sixth degree Black Belt. Master Bump has been studying Sikaran Karate for 40 years and has trained hundreds of students throughout the years. He personally has promot-ed 13 of those students to Black Belt and continues to teach and direct all activities at the Karate Center. Lifelong committment and extraordi-nary sacrifice are required. Among his many accomplishments, Master Bump has taught throughout the U.S. and in Germany. He has been in competitons throughout the world and still competes several times per year. Together with his lifelong companion, Lisa, they operate the Mount Anthony Karate Center at the North Pownal Fire Station.

From my Corner— Susan J. Coons

...makeup...Do any of you remember an

old, frequently repeated skit on the Milton Berle Show where he said the word “makeup” and a little guy in a beret and wear-ing a cape would run on stage and smack Berle in the face with an over-size powder puff? Just thought I’d ask. I think it was Milton Berle.

Speaking of makeup...My daughter and I found

Sephora in NYC a few years ago, and now they have a store in Colonie Center. I find it over-whelming! Price ranges are from low to high and the selection is vast. But still so much of it all! I usually pick something up — eyeliner, nail polish, blush — but I’m not a makeup person. I’ve said before, I have better things to do than spend hours in front of a mirror.

I’m moving away from wear-ing makeup every day. During the summer I’m dark enough that I really don’t think I need it, unless I’m going out in the evening. Eye makeup is the only thing I’ve been wearing to work, and I’m trying to stop that. My reason?

When I was young, I thought it was shaky hands that controlled the eyeliner that seemed to be so erratically drawn on little old ladies. I realize that isn’t neces-sarily so. Now that I’m one of those little (well, not so little) old ladies (lady?) I realize that there are other circumstances creating unruly liner.

There is more flesh in the aging eyelid, and it comes with its own pound of wrinkles. It has to be pulled out to the side a bit in order for you to make a straight line with the eyeliner. Even if you can manage a straight line, all the wrinkles snap back into place when you let go. There’s that bumpy line!

If you are farsighted, as I am, and wear glasses, you will face another problem. Okay, you’re holding the eyelid, and trying to draw the line. Not only do you have to master the art of drawing the line straight, you can only do this with your glasses off, mak-ing it difficult to see what you’re doing.

In order to avoid the “wrin-kled eyeliner syndrome”, I’m try-

ing to let my friends, coworkers and public get used to seeing me without makeup. I know my van-ity will eventually creep into the picture. I don’t know how long I can keep this up. A coworker said to me one day a couple of weeks ago, “You look so good today! You’re wearing a little makeup, aren’t you?” Yes, I was. Ah, well.... At least she didn’t ask me what those little dark tracks were on my eyelids!

After School CareBeginning this September,

the Hoosick Falls Youth & Community Center will be offer-ing after-school care to elemen-tary students in the Hoosick Falls Central School district. This ser-vice will be available every day school is in session. Space and supplies are available for many engaging and interesting activi-ties, including sports, music, art, crafts and games.

Free bus transportation to the center from HFCS is available after school. Students must be picked up by a parent or autho-rized person by 6 p.m.

Any student using this ser-vice must be pre-registered and must have a permission slip and waiver on file at the YCC. A small daily fee to cover the cost of staff and supplies will be charged. Youth Center members receive a reduced rate, and discounts apply for those who sign up for the whole year, monthly, or weekly. Discounts are also available for those who qualify for free and/or reduced lunch. There is an extra charge for non-emergency “drop-ins” and for late pick-up.

Hector T. Betit Celebrates 100th Birthday!

Hector T. Betit celebrated his 100th Birthday on August 11, 2009 at Genesis Mountainview in Rutland. His grandchildren Andre Jr. and Michelle gave him a memorable party, gath-ering over 150 to sing Happy Birthday and to celebrate his life. Fathers Julien LaFlamme and James Holden SSE concel-ebrated Mass at the start of the party.

Numerous family and friends from Bennington were in Rutland for this wonderful occasion. Nephews and nieces traveled from as far as Alabama and Quebec.

Many living on the east side of Bennington may remember Hector delivering milk for Fairdale Farms with a kind word and ready smile – trademarks still in evidence. Hector lived in Bennington for over 90 years. He is the twelfth and last surviving child of Eugene and Josephine Betit’s family of fourteen. He married Irene Fortier in 1934 and they had three children Madonna, Andre and Cecile.

Bennington’s Geezer Gazelle Runs Again!

Bob Matteson’s second sweep of Single-Age 93 World Records is six-tenths of a second away. Matteson, Bennington’s Geezer Gazelle, ran the 200 meters Tuesday evening, August 11, at this year’s final Colonie Summer Track Meet in 44.54, the best he has done thus far in the current outdoor track season. Matteson’s time was almost eight seconds faster than the old American 200-M record, 52.33, by Herb Kirk, Montana, 1989. But the Gazelle remained slower than the 43.92 by Friederich Mahlo, Germany, 2004.

With business and personal obligations piling up (track practice takes lots of time), Matteson is undecided on whether to make one more stab at a new 200-M record, 50/50 possibility, thus to complete a second six-events sweep of World 93-Single Age Track Records, the only time this has ever been done. Taking into account that he also ran a two-mile on Tuesday in Colonie, the Gazelle already now has an American six-events sweep.

Pat Zemianeck, also of Bennington, admitted as the only female in an otherwise all-male heat, ran with the Gazelle in the two-mile, coming in a bit behind him because of his last lap push. Zemianeck also ran with Matteson, again a little behind, in the 200-M. Andy Castle, friend of both run-ners, provided logistical support.

Richard Sager Wins Award

Bennington resident Richard Sager has been honored with a Telly Award. The Telly Award is the premier award hon-oring outstanding local, regional, and cable tele-vision commercials and programs, the finest film and video productions, and groundbreaking Web commercials, videos and films. Sager won with his production of “Instructor of Swedish Massage” DVD. See the Web site at www.essentialmassagevi-deo.com.
