Spring is on the way.Snow shovels andsnow blowers will
be replaced by rakes andlawn mowers. Wintergloves will be replaced bygarden gloves andbaseball gloves. Springtime, like the New Year, is agreat time for resolutionsand embarking on achallenging project for thenew spring and summerseasons. We have alreadystarted planning for oursummer concert series
and dates are quickly filling up for our park pavilions.I’d like to single out and recognize a group of folks who go unnoticedfor most of the year, but are always ready to tackle a new job oraccept a new challenge for the betterment of our community here inthe Village. They are the employees of the Department of PublicWorks. Collectively, they have worked hard this winter in the face ofregular snowfalls, bitter cold weather and water main breaks. Theystart early in the day collecting refuse and have worked throughout thecold windy days and nights plowing our roads and repairing buriedwater and sewer lines. Most of us go out only when we must and arethankful for our warm homes. Our DPW employees don’t always havethat luxury but are ready and willing to work any job that requires theirattention, no matter the weather or the time of day. They do thiswinter, summer, spring or fall. Gentlemen, thanks for your efforts andknow that you are appreciated for all of your good work!

A Message from Colonie Fire Company…
The Chiefs’ office would like to share a few thingswith you. This is the start of a new year andthere are many changes taking place. Our new
firehouse is coming along and we hope to be fullymoved in by early to mid-summer. With the help ofour members and the Village DPW, the new firehouseis really starting to take shape and is looking great.
Winter is upon us and with that there are some safetyissues that we would like to remind everyone about.
First, it’s cold outside! Remember to dressappropriately which includes dressing in layers, andwearing a hat, gloves and a scarf. Also, in the eventyour car breaks down, it is best to always keep asafety kit in your car containing things such as jumpercables, a flashlight, flares, first aid kit, a blanket, handwarmers, matches, a shovel, and a bottle of waterand a few protein snack bars.
Second, we have already been to a few chimney firesthis season. If you have a wood stove and/or fireplace, please make sure to maintain it year round andvisually inspect it (checking the gaskets, firebricks,grates and stove bottoms etc.) a few timesthroughout the winter. Always be sure to keep itclean, and it is best to burn only dry, seasoned wood.
Third, make sure that your furnace is workingcorrectly. A faulty furnace can cause problems somake sure that all carbon monoxide detectors and
smoke alarms have good batteries and are workingproperly. Batteries should be changed every sixmonths. A good habit to get into is to change thebatteries every time you have to turn your clocksahead or back. Also, it is important to be aware thatcarbon monoxide detectors are only good for fiveyears so make sure you check the date and replacethem as needed.
Lastly, be sure to check in frequently with elderly orsick loved ones, friends and/or neighbors as the coldis especially hard on them. If you see newspapers ormail accumulating, their walkways or driveways havenot been shoveled, etc. please check on them. If youare unable to make contact, call 911 and ask that a“welfare check” be done.
All of us here at Colonie Fire Company hope thateveryone stays safe and warm this winter season. Ifyou should have an emergency NEVER hesitate tocall 911 as that is what we are here for.
THANK YOU,
The Chiefs’ Office
J. Matthew Redick, Chief
Brian Curran, 1st Assistant Chief
J. J. Redick, 2nd Assistant Chief

REMINDER to all Residents:All dogs are required to be on a leash at ALL times in Cook Park,
Bauer Park and all other village parks.You are also required to pick up all dog waste.
Animal control officers patrol all of our parks and issue summonsfor violation of these rules.
PLEASE help keep the parks clean for everyone!Thank You.
Use Phosphorus-Free Lawn Fertilizer
It’s the Law!Most lawns in New York State do not need additional phosphorus for healthygrowth. When you use fertilizer containing phosphorus for your lawn, the raincan wash it into streams, lakes and reservoirs. Fertilizer in water can createexcess algae plant growth and green scum that:• Interfere with boating and swimming• Harm fish populations• Degrade drinking water quality
How do you know if you are using phosphorus-free fertilizer?Look for the zero.
Check the fertilizer bag for a set of three numbers; they represent thepercentage of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. The number in the middleshould be a “0.”Phosphorus runoff poses a threat to water quality. Therefore, under New Yorklaw (effective January 1, 2012), phosphorus-containing fertilizer may only beapplied to lawns or non-agricultural turf when:• A soil test indicates that additional phosphorus is needed for growth of a lawn
or non-agricultural turf.or
• The fertilizer is used for newly established lawns or non-agricultural turf during the first growing season.
