SLINGERLANDS

Board on record for preservation

The Bethlehem Town Board has adopted a resolu­tion recognizing historic pre­servation dfofts in Slinger­lands a resolution which Supervisor' Tom Corrigan likened to motherhood and apple pie"· but which could nevertheless put the board squarely on the line in the event of a major zoning controversy in the hamlet.

The resolution. drafted with considerable effort by the Slingerlands Homeown­ers Association and Town Historian T.E. Mulligan, \va~ introduced by Councilwoman Ruth Bickle- and passed un­animously by the board Wed­nesday. It comes at a time when the homeowners associ­ation is anticipating possible development of the old San­ders property at the Toll Gate as a shopping mall.

'fIle hoilrd pledge;; to "con­tinue to support the efforts of concerned citii',ens in matters pertaining to the preser\"ation ami protection of our Town's heritage." And. says the resolution. '''cooperation and guidance. within the limits of lawful pursuits. is formally extended b\' this board. re­cognizing that citizens ha\"e both the right and duty to uphold and impro\'e their way of life."'

The Slingerlands home­owners ha\'c submitted a number of old homes to the. \'ational Register of Historic Places for certification. and also succeeded last year in ha\"ing the town designate the Slingerland burial vault next to the Sanders property as an historic sit~. Whether either action would be a factor in block­ing the shopping plaza is problematicaL

Landfill 'answer' could create new problem Town residents will get a

report on Bethlehem's pro­gress in joining the Albany A:'>iSWERS waste disposal system at a panel discussion Tuesday at the Bethlehem Public Library.

But rather than answers, the discussion may motivate more questions. According to Supervisor Tom Corrigan, the closing of the town landfill ott RL 144. Selkirk, may create a new and very expen­sive problem -- what to do with sludge from the sewage treatment plant.

That sludge is. now trucked to the landfill, where it is buried. But when Bethlehem

joins ANSWERS -- Albany's new refuse shredding plant in the Pine Bush -- the landfill will become a "hard fill", used only for items ANSWERS won't take and open only one or two days a week. That means it won't be usable for the sewage sludge, Corrigan said.

"There aren't any solutions that I forsee right now for the sludge -- other than expensive solutions," he said.

The ANSWERS project is expected to be expensive in its own right because it involves building a transfer station and buying expensive equipment to haul the waste to the

Ar)any plant. But Corrigan said he doubts there will be much to announce at the discussion Tuesday because the town's consultant, Stan­dard Engineering of Albany. still hasn't completed its report.

The 7:30 p.m. program in the Ii brary's community room will be chaired by Alan Mapes, director of the Five Rivers Environmental Cen­ter. Other panel members will include Corrigan, James Green, vice president of Stan­dard Engineering, Ellen Picotte of the ANSWERS program, and Donald Wright, who is in the rubbish removal business.

Two pass inspector exam Bethlehem police sergeants

Hazard A. Covel' and Rich­ard L. Vanderbilt have passed an Albany County Civil Ser­vice examination for inspec­tor in the Bethlehem police department, according to Safety Commissioner Ralph Tipple.

But Town Supervisor Tom Corrigan said Friday there are no plans to recommend either for the position, which is currently filled by Richard LaChappelle. LaChappelle, who has a provisional ap­pointment to, the post, also took the test but did not pass, Corrigan said.

Under civil service rules the town board can appoint from the top three on a civil service list. If there are fewer than three names, Corrigan said, the board has the option of not using the list and asking the commission for a new test. House variance granted

That house that was built a foot and a halftoo close to the street through a surveyor's error IS now legitimate. thanks to the Bethlehem board of appeals.

The five-member board approved a variance for R&D Construction Co. for a house the firm erected on a lot at Murray Ave. and Catherine SI.. Delmar.

The board granted provi­sional approval of a request for a special exception that would enable Valley Equip­ment Co. of Schenectady to replace three 8,OOO-galion underground fuel storage tanks at the Arco service station at Feura Bush Rd. and Rt. 9W with three 12,000-gallon tanks. No one spoke for or against the proposal at a public hearing.

The board granted per­mission to James Mancuso of 15 Oakwood PI.. Delmar. to construct a small addition to hi~ house that will be used as a "mother-in-law" apartment.

Sue Ann Ritchko reports:

Albany County Legislature

The Albany County Legis­lature on Jan. II gave a reverse twist to the old warn­ing about buying a "pig in a poke" when it let go of a mysterious package of real estate for $615 without know­ing what it is worth, how large it is or even exactly where it is located. Some 90 minutes of heated debate errupted when it was learned that the real estate parcel acreage un­certain is in the Pinebush area where the proposed Crossgate shopping center is planned.

A resolution passed, 23 to 13 with Republicans opposed, al­lowing 9iossgate Joint Venture to buy the land it originaUy had owned for back taxes, interest and penalties. The firm owns 103 acres of land planned as the site for the Crossgate Mall.

The county had foreclosed on the land because of the owners' failure to pay taxes. Democratic leaders insisted it had always been policy of the legislature to allow individ­uals or corporations to buy the property that has been foreclosed for failure to pay taxes. RepUblicans made several parliamentary moves to put over the vote until the next session to allow time for more information, including the exact acreage and what role the land would play in the proposed mall.

Republicans asked why the Democrats wanted to act in such haste with inadequate information. The majority, however, outvoted all at­tempts at delay and pushed the question to a vote.

Bruce l\..cnan, managing partner of the Pyramid Cross­gates, attended the meeting. He told reporters he knew nothing about the parcel of land and was unaware it was on the agenda. He said he

just dropped in by accident. He left the meeting to have dinner with Democratic Majority Leader Richard Meyers, whose law firm re­presents Pyramid Cross gate.

I am very much interested in a request from the Capital District Child Care Council, Inc. for county aid to help keep local day care centers in operation. Because of federal aid cuts, the cost for working moth­ers in now about $17 a week. Many of the working mothers earn about $100 a week and obviously that cost is im­possible for them to meet by themselves. Many working mothers will be forced to go on welfare and stay home.

I believe the county should appropriate funds to keep the day care centers in operation rather than add more people to the welfare rolls.

It is my hope that this care situation will be considered in a bipartisan spirit.

BETHLEHEM Board ponders exchange tuition

The Bethlehem Central school board discussed the tuition status of foreign ex~ changes students at its Jan. ~ meeting at the Elsmere School.

The district has a list of sponsoring organizations from which it will admit foreign students residing with families in the district without requiring payment of tuition. The tuition fee is set by the state.

Board member Kobert Zick asked ifany U.S. govern­ment agency has responsibil­ity for sanctiomng such groups. "I guess I'm super­suspicious at this point," Zick said. Noone had the answer, but Superintendent Lawrence Zinn is checking.

Zinn told the board that a district resident must be the legal guardian of a child for the child to be allowed to attend public schools tuition­free, with the exception of the foreign exchange students.

The board took no action. but Zinn said he will redraft the policy statement for board consideration.

In other business, the board denied a request for a middle school teacher for an unpaid leave of absence. guided by Zinn's report that it would be difficult to obtain a replace­ment. John Clyne dissented.

BC union agreement A tentative three-year con­

tract agreement has been reached in the lengthy negoti­ations between the Bethlehem Central school district and its non-teaching employes, mem­bers of the Bethlehem Central United Employes Associa­tion.

The employes will consider the proposed pact Tuesday at 8 p.m. at the high school, union President Charles Preska said Monday. The board of education will pro­bably consider it at its Feb. 3 meeting. according to District Clerk Ann Treadway.

Neither side would disclose

details prior to those meet­ings. The union had sought a one-year agreement with a 12-perce!,t raise, and the district's counter offer was 21 percent spread over three years. A report issued two months ago by ,PERB factfinder Grace Sterrett recommended an eight-percent raise retroactive to Julyl, with nine percent in the second year and third­year wage reopener. How­ever, that report revealed that a number of other issues remained to be settled.

The two sides reached agreement last week after a lengthy session with a state conciliator. The old contract expired last June.

Slingerlands students Interns Roger Rosen. a junior at

Bethlehem Central High, and Eileen Parker, a senior at Doane Stuart School, were recently selected to serve as county government interns.

Parker, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Parker of Slingerlands, will work with Sue Ann Ritchko, 34th dis­trict legislator and member of the civil defense committee. Rosen, the son, of M r. and Mrs. Joseph Rosen of Sling­erlands. will intern with 36th district legislator Edward Sargent, member of the mass transit. penal and health committees.

Sponsored by Albany County Cooperative Exten­sion and the Albany County legislature. the intern pro­gram affords high school juniors and seniors the oppor­tunity to study governmeryt functions first hand and to ex.plore possible career op­tions-

Like most people. his first climb was Mt. Marcy. New

He climbed Marcy again in 1969 with two other couples. and in 1970 took his two eldest sons, Christopher and Berkley, for a week in the Adirondack woods. They climbed Iroquois, Marshall, Redfield, Wright, Algonquin, Cliff and Colden. That gave them eight of the 46.

to his collection, motivated by the late James Heron of Delmar.

"Jim climbed a mountain every Saturday," observed Stagg. :'1 also got inspiration from' Bert and' Fred, so we went to the Catskills most every weekend."

~ ... Those,34 peaks were con­

quered between July, 1975 and April, 1978. Meanwhile, the Staggs turned their sights to the White Mountains of New Hampshire on summer vacations. All avid skiers, they had climbed Tucker­man's Ravine on Mt. Wash­ington. where there are no ski lifts, and did the whole 6,288-foot mountain three times before deciding to widentheir scope. For Jay it meant backpacking and camping for a week at a time, and last July 4 he climbed Flume Mtn. to qualify for membership in the "4,OOO-Footer Club of the White Mountains."

I.ast week's trek on snowy Killington completed the requirement' for the Hundred and Eleven Club. The "offi­cial"list defines 12 in Maine, 47 in New Hampshire, five in Vermont, 46 in the Adiron­dacks and two in the Cat­skills.

Stagg, who with his wife, Mary H emy, became a grand­parent for the first time last year. will continue to climb after he completes those two remaining Catskill peaks this winter. "I just look forward to it." he says .• '. get a lot out of it, and enjoy it. Some people like to bowl or go fishing, I like to climb. It's not competi­tive. Physically it" can be brutal. but it's therapeutic if you don't overdo it."

Blackbirds split pair of thrillers

A few more games like last week's two Colonial Council encounters and the Voorhees­ville school board may have to set up blood pressure clinics for Coach Chuck Abba and local faris.

The Blackbirds edged league-leading Watervliet by 63-61 before a wildly cheering throng at home Tuesday, and came within inches afforcing an overtime game at Water­ford Friday when a last­second shot was just off target.

Voorheesville had a three­go at Waterford when a 15-footer that might have put the

footer that might have put the game away missed the hoop. The Fordians spurted to a 60-57 lead, but John Zongrone clicked on a three-point play to tie it. Waterford called time to set up a play with 30 seconds remaining, and Abba set up a defense, but two free throws on a foul call swung the decision. The Blac::birds missed a 16-footer at .the buzzer.

"I didn't agree with the call, but I never blame the officials for any loss," Abba said later. "We had a shot and missed."

Watervliet came to the Helderbergs at 8-1 and re­turned hOme at 8-2 after Jim Harding hit a jumper with 15 seconds left. Abba adjusted his defenses to contain the Cannoneers' point guard. Jim

Chartrand, and it worked: he only got two points. On offense Abba slowed the Blackbirds down to waiting for good shots, and that also worked: they shot 57 percent.

"The kids played well and had desire. When we lose, we don't get scoring from our back court. and that makes a big difference," Abba com­mented.

A glance at the box scores bears him out. Dickie Lennon had 17 and Jim Meacham six against Watervliet, and only four between them at Water­ford. Mike Lewis and Zon­grone were hitting up front both nights, Lewis getting 15 and 18, Zongrone 13 and 17.

This Friday the other co­leader, Schalmont, brings its towering front line to Voor­heesville. "We're not out of it yet," says Abba. ··We play 'em one at a time."

Bowls over opposition Del Lanes teams took first

place in five out of six divi­sions in the second annual Boulevard Bowl Junior In­vitational Tournament Jan. 3. Bob Keegan had the high series in the junior boys division with 558. and Jim McGuiness's 637 was high for the senior boys. Del Lanes bowlers won the Junior Boys. Senior Boys, Bantam Girls and Junior Girls divisions and tied for first in the Bantam Boys division. The team's 15.912 was tops in the overall standings.

BASKETBALL 2 losses (jim Be girls' hope

Late· rallies by the opposi­tion handed Bethlehem Cen­tral t~o setbacks in Suburban Councilgifls' basketball and evened the Eagles' record at 2-2. The team lost to Niskayuna Wednesday, 44-31, and drop­a 45-33 decision to the Shaker Bison on Friday,

Niskayuna's Warriors sur­prised the Eagles in the second half after BC had pulled a point ahead at half time. Then the Warriors went on the warpath, outscoring the Eagles 26-12 in the last 16 minutes to crush BC's hopes for an undefeated season. Be's starting ranks dwindled when Kathy McNamara, who led the team with 10 points, suffered a tongue injury and another Eagle fainted.

A large home crowd turned out hiday to balance the Bison fans who traveled to see the Shaker-Bethlehem game. Halftime saw BC on the

Eagles missed several re­bounds. Playing excellent catch-up ball, the Eagles pulled quickly to 22-21 when Shaker made some sloppy passes. But the Bison's out­side shooting abruptly ended the comeback and put the game out of reach. Mc­Namara again led the scoring. with playmaker Sandy Shel­merdine just behind.

J V Coach Jesse Braver­rnan's girls find themselves with a 4-0 record, with their most recent win being a 43-29 stomping of Shaker. Soph­omore standout Terry Plun­kett bombarded the nets with 18 shots. Also consistently outstanding are juniors Amy Davis, Michelle Meister and Alunda Smith and soph­omore Kelly Burke.

This Friday sees BC on the road against Colonie, which is right on the heels of Shaker in quest of a championship.

Be tank streak is ripple-free

Two disqualifications at Voorheesville gave Coach Jack Whipple only momen­tary concern as his varsity pool powerhouse churned to a 49-34 victory. Bethlehem Central's 71 sl straight dual meet triumph sine!;! 1977.

No one could remember when the Eagles last gave up six first places in one meet, but that's what happen­ed Friday against the com­bined Voorheesville-Guilder­land team. Hethlehem's im­pressi,e depth pulled the Eagle~ through as they went 1-2 in the other five events. "There were some very strong malch-up~ among the top swimmers. and we won on our depth," ~ummariled Whipplc.

As cxpccted. the Eagles have had a breeze since edging a strong alumni team during the Christma~ vacation by 45-3H. They have won five straight in January. with only one surprise. a 1-2 Glens Falls finish in the opening medley rcl~y in the He pool.

The Eagles went to work on that one in a hurry . .Iohn Ocmarest and K nute H vals­marken taking 1-2 in the 100 frce and rre~hmen Matt Hoi­land and Eric Patrick doing the ,arne in the 200. When young SCOll Apicelli came from behind on the final lap to take second in the breast­stroke. the Eagles were safe, and Whipple could give away points in the later events. The 43-40 score was deceiving.

The alumni team of 21 swimmers included past AA champions Dennis FitzPat­rick and Jeff Gillham, RPI captain Paul Lierheimer, l'\CAA finalist Craig Lindell and such past greats as Charles Cooper (1969) and Hob Hedderman (1973).

Good shoollng

Tim Fulle, had 20 points and Mark Louderback 14 to lead the scoring in a full slate of eight games in Bethlehem's middle school basketball program last Saturday.

Mergers battle with thin ranks

The familiar pattern that has haunted the Voorhees­ville-Guilderland swim team continued last week as the Mergers lo~t dual meets to the two strongest teams in the Adirondack League.

The pattern has Coach Nadine Bassler's top swim­mers winning a nock of lirst places. hut there simply isn't enough personnel for seconds and thirds. hence IS-point losses to Glens Falls and Bethlehem at home.

Against Hethlehem. which hasn't lost a league meet in 12 years, V-G swimmers won six of II first places, but got no better than third in the five other events. Dirk Applegate, a triple winner at Glens Falls counting the medley relay leg. wa~ a double winner against Be despite a rare disqualifi­cation for two false starts. Kevin Anderson won the breaststroke in both meets, Carl Renshaw the backstroke and Ricky Bult the 500 against Ilethlehem, and all four teamed to win the medley rclay in both meets.

Kathy Riley continues to hclp. Bassler put her on the diving board and she got a third in both meets and was beaten by a touch in the 200 freestyle against Glens Falls.

Dollins win places

Delmar Dolfins' boys 10-and-under medley relay team took third place and the girls 10-and-under sixth place in the annual Midwinter Meet at Burnt Hills Saturday. On the boys team were Chris Eng­strom, Drew Patrick, Mike Miller and Justin Baird. On the girls team were Rema Woo, Susan Cleary, Merideth

. Dix and Carrie Merrill. In other age-class events. Lynn Apicelli had a first-place in the IOO-yard butterfly, and the following placed among the first six in various events: Baird (2), Engstrom, Keith Dix, Mary Lou Flynn, David Cleary (2) and Jonathan Scholes,

Deadline i$_ the Friday before publication. Snow removal incomplete Editor, The Spotlight:

I wish to thank the Town of Bethlehem Highway Depart­ment for the job they have done in keeping our streets free of snow. Department personnel are on the job at all hours of the day and night to make sure the snow is remov­ed as quickly a~ possible.

The Town of Bethlehem has onc snO\v removal service that is vcry. unique. A side­walk snow removal machine removes the bulk of the snow from the town's sidewalks earlv in the morning so that eve~ those who have to cat~h an early bus or walk around

town do not have to trudge through knee high snow to get to their destination.

However, since sidewalk construction is uneven, the machine cannot scrape the walks and remove the snow down to the bare concrete. Alter the plow has cleared most of the snow away, an inch .or two of snow is left on the sidewalk. In most cases t his snow is never removed and remains or turns to ice. This snow and ice makes walking around town a haz­ardous thing to do.

Since the town removes the bulk of the snow it seems to me that the home owners and commercial businessmen in town could remove the last inch of snow after each storm. With the main bulk of snow gone it would only take a few minutes' effort to keep the sidewalks in tip top condition and make walking around town a pleasure instead of the ha/.ard it ha~ been so far this winter.

Community Corner

Gypsy Moth Meetings

Gypsy moths may be a few months away, but it's already time to start thinking about this airborne scourge and how to contain it. To spray or not to spray? The Albany County Health Department and Coopera­tive Extension are sponsoring a series of informational meetings on gypsy moths this month, and town residents would do well to attend.

In Bethlehem the meeting is tonight (Thursday) at 8 p.m. at town hall. In New Scotland the meeting is next Wednesday at 7 p.m. at town hall.
