Burn plant vote to give . direction to waste plan By Susan Wheeler
On June 18; Bethlehem residents will decide whether the town's future solid waste management plan will include an incinerator on Cabbage Island.
A townwide special referendum, authorized under Town Law Section 81, will be
held Thursday, June 18, from 8 am. to 8 . p.m: at all of the town's 27 polling places. The intent of the referendum is to give the town a binding direction, or a mission, in its solid waste management plan, accord· ing to Assistant Town Attorney Michael Smith.
Town board members approved the special election on the recommendation of the Solid Waste Task Force.
The task force, under the guidance of Chairman Bruce Secor, Bethlehem'scommissioner of public works, suggested the board set the referendum to determine if residents' support the construction of a privately constructed, owned and oper·
ated regional waste-to-energy facility on Cabbage Island, located in Bethlehem at the Port of Albany.
According to Smith, a "no" vote means the town will not pur· sue incineration as part of its solid waste management plan.
A "yes" vote authorizes the town to site an incinerator on Cabbage Island as part of its plan, and Bethlehem would have to consider incineration as part of its solid waste management plan.
Smith
The referendum language was refined to include Cabbage Island as the specific site for the incinerator. "!twas Mr. Secor's and the Solid Waste TaskForce's feeling that Cabbage Island is the most appropri· ate, and probably the only appropriate
. place,intowntoconstructanincinerator,"' Smith said. .
Some residents expressed concerns that a "yes" vote means the town must site

Homestead meeting tonight Town chamber lobbies for 'no' from board By Michael DeMasi
Hoping for a large turnout.by support· ers. representatives of the Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce. and Albany County Farm Bureau plan to lobby against the Homestead Act tonight at the school board's public hearing.
Tom McCarroll, chairman of the gov· ernmental affairs committee for the cham· ber, said he will present a . letter to the seven members of the board, urgiogthem to vote "No' on homestead.
"I want to make sure they're very clear on the position of the business commu· nity."
The chamber hopes to drive this point home by convincing as many of its nearly 500 members as possible to attend the meeting.
"We put out the call," he said. If the turnout is significant, he added, "!t's going to be overwhelming to them."
The Homestead Act, which has already been adopted by the town, is designed to

Board waits for input before making decision By Michael DeMasi
Ironically, the only Bethlehem Central school board member to say he is firmly opposed to the Homestead Act won't be able to vote on the measure when the board convenes next week.
Dennis Stevens. who recently won a three-year term on the board, won't offi· cially assume his seat until July 1 and therefore cannot vote on the act when the board casts its ballots on June 10.
"I don't see my inability to vote on homestead as amajorfactor," said Stevens. "The board will take their time and look at the issue and vote accordingly."
Stevens'uniquepositioncameaboutas are suIt of state Education Law. According to school board attorney Roger Fritts, because Stevens was appointed by the board in August 1991 to fill the seat vacated by Sheila Fuller, Stevens could only
. serve until May 6, the day school bpard elections were held: .

Public Works Bruce Secor, who Supervisor Ken Ringler says is as close to being iildispensable as one person can be, shares his talents on the state and national levels.
Secor, who's been withthetown 14 years and public works commissioner since the position was created in 1981, recently was elected president of the American Public WorksAssociation (APW N state chapter.
The national APW A, with a membership of 25,000-plus, was created to offer those in public works training as well as the chance to share ideas and experiences. The Chicago-based association was formed in 1937 by the consolidation of the American Society of Municipal Engineers and the International Association

Travis, who currently works at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and is editor ofthe/oumal oj Risk Analysis, is pragmatic about the questions of incineration. So pragmatic, in fact, that he would rather give the pros and cons of both sides than choose one to defend.
You have an X and Y side for each argument, obviously each side has its own points and merits.
'You have an X and Y side for each argument, obviously each side has its own points and merits," he said in a recent phone interview.
"There is no doubt that pollutants come out of incinerators, things like dioxins, mercury, furans. The question is whether these things are of the concentration that will affect the health of a local population."
Travis' answer to that question
"When it comes to incineration there are two arguments. One side says 'It's the safest thing we have and unless you're standing on top of the stack, the health risk is minimal.' The other says, 'Incineration naturally gives outall kinds of pollutants and with the way the world is going, we don't need any more of those pollutants.'"
One risk often listed by incineration researchers is the threat of mercury emissions. Mercury, which is a vapor when released by incineration stacks, has been shown to be a causal factor in the incidence of cancer.

lematic situation, Travis said, because of its peculiar chemical makeup. Since it is the only element which is liquid at room temperature, some mercury can pass through the normal ftltering process which is set up to collect solid particulates.
Newer incinerators, with their state-of-the-art filtering systems. have had trouble containing mercuryemissionseventhough other harmful particulate emissions have been greatly reduced.
The scientist said theaddition of activated carbon ftlters have proved to be the best container of mercury emissions. But no decision has been made on whether current mercury levels pose a real health threat, even though continued strict regulations are necessary.
Travis also gives an either/or answer to the question of which waste disposal methods are best.
"Of course, this is the million dollar question. We found that if we put the stuff in the ground, we could get ground water contamination: So, we decided to burn it. The problem with that is it doesn't all burn and some of it goes into the air. We have two scenarios.

On the way to the forum • • • All sides on the issue of Bethlehem's
proposed waste-to-energy incinerator plant surely are in agreement on one point:
An informed vote is a citizen's basic responsibility, Numbers are the bottom line, but both the pros and the cons will be more satisfied with the outcome if we can conclude that reason rather than prejudice, fact rather than emotion, were the decisive elements.
Facts will have the spotlight at tomorrow nighfs (Thursday) forum at BCHS, where position statements by the Solid Waste Task Force, Encon's Bureau of Resource Recovery, Energy Answers Corporation, and Bethlehem Work on Waste will be presented. Q-
Editorials and-A exchanges with these authorities will round out the program.
The Spotlight Newspapers are privileged to be able to sponsor this forum, for which the moderator will be the publisher and editor, Richard A Ahlstrom.
The two-hour forum is to begin at 7:30 p.m. Those who come can be assured of going away better informed, and satisfied that they have done their part - along with several hundred other Bethlehem residents - to acceptthe duty of being a fully informed participant in the June 18 referendum.

Two months ago, the Town Board voted 3-t~2 to go along with Homestead after Dr. Loomis and two board members spoke ardently on its behalf at a Town Board hearing. "We urge the board to enact the Homestead provisions so the Board of Education can provide a small measure of relief to assist those taxpayers most in need; stated the superintendent. "Don't deny us the right to protect small homeowners who are being hurt the most; said William Collins, a school trustee. • Atthattime, Dr. Loomis was quoted to this effect: "We do not expect taxes to increase beyond the 6 percent range."
***** Since then, Bethlehem's response to the
school board'sefforts has proved to be rather different from what the board apparently foresaw. "Small homeowners" appear apathetic about the 75-cents-a-week by which typically, their taxes might be mitigat~d by Homestead. On the other hand, other categories of property owners - amounting to nearly one-quarter of all assessments in the town - turn out to be those "who are being hurt the most."
It subsequently developed that the anticipation of 6 percent was justified only by prematurely counting on Homestead as an accomplished fact. Actually, the increase should have been calculated and described as 8.5 percent - at best, a careless use of figures.
And the big catch is that - because of either bad arithmetic by the board's calculators or a distressing lack of candor - the tax rate for Bethlehem's businesses would un-

Board members Harvith and Collins (who went before the Town Board with their appeal for action) now say they are . undecided what to do.
There's 'a particularly interesting angle: A once-and-future board member, Dennis Stevens, has come out foursquare against Homestead because "adoption would radically change life in the district ... "
But Mr. Stevens right now is off the board. His service as an appointed member legally ended with the election of his successor on May 6. His -own new term as an elected

to be the date for the school board's public hearing on Ho mestead (board vote to occur sometime subsequently).
Hold the phone! Superintendent Loomis has announced that the hearing has been moved up a month (to tonight, June 3). The board's vote then would take place in June, while the dissident Mr. Stevens is without a vote.
Meanwhile, his lame-duck predecessor, George, Sussman, retains his seat and its vote. Right up to the eve of the hearing, he said he hadn't made up his mind. His decision will be closely watched, for if he votes "yes" on Homestead it could be construed as a reason behind the shift in the schedule for the board's voting.
Pure coincidence, no doubt - but what a difference a date can make.

THE SPOniGHT
Impact on area found minimal at SEMASS
Editor, The Spotlight: Having a deep concern about
the landfill and proposed incineration issues in the Town of Bethlehem, we availed ourselves of the n~harge trip offered by the Energy Answers Corporation to visit the SEMASS trash incineration plant in Rochester, Mass.
The plant operation met our every objection necessary to convince us of its viability for our town. Asafinalquestion, we asked the Rochester commissioner of conservation if they were good neighbors, and would she recommend them for our town?
Vox POp Her response was, "'!bey are
excellent neighbors; no odors, no littered streets entering the plant, and anyone 300 yards ormore from the plant would not be detrimentally affected by its presence.·
We the undersigned believe thatwith today'stechnology, trash incineration is the optimum choice to resolve our trash problems.
We urge its approval on June 18.

'Look beyond slick PR' in considering burn plant Editor, the Spotlight:
A recent issue of The Spotlight had advertisements from Energy Answers Corporation that wants to build a mass-burn regional incinerator in Bethlehem. These advertisements offered free trips to its SEMASS plant with a free lunch and free videos; they stated that incineration will elimiilate the need for a regional landfill. l.et us look beyond the slick PR and consider the following:
• Regional incinerators need regional landfills. A 1,500 tons/ day incinerator generates 500 tons/day of ash, which is often toxic. This must be landfilled with waste such as appliances that cannot be burned and waste generated when the 'Plaii1 ISc10sed for repairs or maintenance. , • The local chapter of Physi
cians for Social Responsibility has oppoSed construction of incinerators because they emit lead and mercury which adversely affect our health and especially the health of children.
• Ontario has five solid-waste incinerators, one of which was constructed by a principal of Energy Answers. in April 1991,
the ministry of environment banned new construction of solidwaste incinerators because, "incineration is an environmental sleight-of-hand which gives the illusion of making waste disappear when in fact it reappears in different and more hazardous forms."
On June 18, reject the free lunch. Delmar Terry Rodrigues
188 are vaccinated for rabies at clinic Editor, The Spotlight:
As a result of The Spotlight's excellent article on May 13 highlighting Albany county Health Depar1ment's Rabies immunization Clinic, 188 animals were vaccinated at the May 16 clinic.
Our next rabies clinic will be held on June 6 at Dr. Becker's Camp Nassau, Veeder Road, Guilderland.

Temptingly toothsome tables nearby For me, the highlight of thl! June issue of the magazine Calling
itself "Conde Nast Traveler" was a very agreeable piece by Mimi Sheraton that features a review of nine eating places downstream from us in the Hudson Valley. There, she notes, "the most exciting menus offer contemporary Ameri-can cookery ... based on local r t t R d products whenever possible and ~ons an ea er prepared in lusty innovations that. recall authentic American dishes and flavors." Three of the "classic inns that refresh a tradition of hearty' fare," as she says, warrant a three-star rating (to be interpreted as "a traveler's must"). Four others are two-star places ("very good, with culinary high spots").
The ones closest to us are the Cafe Tamayo in Saugerties and the Beekman 1766 Tavern in Rhinebeck. Both earn three stars. Phrases like these occur: "Tomato broth so irresistible that I sopped up every drop, even though ittook four slices of wonderfully roughtextured bread" and "A luscious corn and sweet potato pudding brightened by sauteed apples, onions, and a refreshing belt of cider vinegar." That's what I call flavorful writing about food!
The DePuy Canal House in High Falls is a two-star restaurant, for Mimi "One of the most entertainingly bizarre dining places in New York State, if not in the entire country". I was taken by this reference: "Arefreshing green salad thatgetsanamusingliftfrom a flurry of popcorn - an idea whose time may be just around the corner." Meanwhile, I say, let's experiment.
Four of the restaurants are part of the Culinary Institute of America at Hyde Park, including three-
star American Bounty, "by far the best of the school's restaurants." ("Watching the golden, honeyglazed duck rotate on the rotisserie, I ordered some, and with garlic potatoes and peppered cabbage it tasted every bit as good as it looked.)
Rounding out her roster are a pair a bit more remote: Hudson House at Cold Spring and Xaviar's at Piermont. Her tale of happiness includes prices, phone numbers (all in 914), and the times that the establishments are serving.
Her joy at finding such food reminded me of something I'd recently read in the new book"The End of lime: in which Richard Clurman relates the disaster that lime, Inc .. brought upon itself by becoming part of Steve Ross's lime Warner. As the deal was being brought to a conclusion, one director warned caution: "It's not over until the fat lady sings" -forgetting that Warner's directors included Beverly (Bubbles) Sills, who joined in the general laughter that followed.
Elsewhere in this issue is a catchy little piece on the Beaverkill Valley Inn 100 miles northwest of New York City; an admira'bly unpretentious place owned by Laurance Rockefeller, a "testament to preservation and f1y-fish-
ing - an unusual combination of small-scale resort, private retreat, and wilderness cabin." The overnight rate is $330 for a double room, but that includes meals.

parts a sense of discovery almost as much today as it did to its first explorer, Giovanni da Verrazano, in 1524andthen, in 1609, toHenry Hudson, who made that darkly dramatic waterway his own.

Follow that wide pewter river banked by heavily wooded slopes and you'll come to a land of apple orchards and dairy farms set in a gently rolling Brueghelesque landscape. . . - Mimi Sheraton.
You may want to read up on new hotels in downtown New York; the negatives for taking pets on plane trips; the shortcomings of B&B guidebooks; the future for West Point; or a note on a new portable product to purify water instantly.
And these are only a sampling among short articles. Longer ones abound, such as a dozen-page spread on Provincetown and an: other on Ischia, "Italy's most romantic island."

Democrats'rank & file votes-for democracy
The contributor of this Point of View is rmdent partner in Albany of the law firm of Duker and Barrett. Until recently he was director of the Government Law Center of Albany Law School. He is a resident of Delmar. By George F. CarpineIlo
You can imagine my surprise. Here was the chairman of the Albany County Democratic Party, Harold Joyce, asking me to serve on a task force that would undertake a total reexamination ~f the governance and opera- Ro';nt o'~ V:';ew tion of the Albany County Demo- • 'J • craticParty. Why was he asking --------me? After all, I had long been known among "regulars" as an' "insurgent" and had only recently been considering running in a primary against the party's nominee for County Executive, Bob Lyman. Was this the party's attempt to create just the appearance that the task force would be a representative body? What other kinds of people would be on this committee? Was Harold Joyce serious about reforming the party? Intrigued, I agreed to serve on the task force.
***** My questions were answered at the
very fIrst meeting. Yes, said Harold, this was to be a fundamental review of the Albany County Democratic Party, from top to bottom. There were no sacred cows and there were to be no assumptions as to what the chairman ,!"anted or did not want.
Included as members on the committee were a wide range of people. Some, like Paul O'Brien, have had long years of service with the party. Others, like Martha Pofit, vice president with the Hospital Association of New York, and May D'Agostino, a well-respected attorney, had independent reputations in the community not associated with the Democratic Party. Moreover, the chair of the task force was a no-nonsense guy named Mike Hickey, head of Albany Financial Planners, who let the committee know at the veryfIrs~ meeting that this was going to be a hard-working group and that we would be spending several long evenings over the next four months debating the future of the party.
Task force hearings discovered strong desire for greater voice in party decisions and deliberative county committee meetings
At that fIrst meeting, a number of members expressed their belief that the governance of the party and the party's bylaws needed major reform. Even the so-called "r.egulars" on the task force concurred in this view. I went home heartened and some-what surprised. -
When asked what subcommittee I wanted to serve on, I told Mike that my first choice was to serve on the subcommittee rewriting the party bylaws. As a lawyer, I thought that my skills could be used best in that capacity. Mike had different ideas. He wanted me to serve as the chair of the subcommittee that would hold a series of almost a dozen meetings around the county seeking public input on the Democratic Party. In the end, I was glad I agreed to Mike's request. It gave me an opportunity to meet a vast number of the rank-and-file of the party and to get a good understanding of what people on the street were thinking.
***** What we heard at the meetings was very enlightening. As
expected, our fIrst meeting, held in the Sixth Ward in the downtown neighborhoods of Albany, brought outa large "insurgent" contingent. It was very critical of the way the party was governed and the conduct of Democratic "regulars" during primary campaigns. I was familiar with the complaints because I was a victim of some of that conduct as a Democratic committeepersOn and candidate in the Sixth Ward in the early 1980s.
The next meeting, held in Cohoes, I expected to be a fairly tame one with most Democratic committeepersons expressing contentment with the status quo. What we found, however, was a strong desire for a larger executive committee, a greater voice

in party decisions, and a demand for truly deliberative county committee meetings instead of the five-minute pro forma meetings that had long been expected during the reign of the late Mayor and County Chairman Erastus Corning, 2nd.
That desire for great "democracy· was expressed at almost a1I the remaining meetings. People were also grateful that Harold Joyce had set up the task force. thatthe views of the rank-and- file were being solicited, and that some change would come about. They also expressed frustration over the way the party has been portrayed in the press, and the beating the party had taken over the Jim Coyne affair.
Many constituencies The meetings also revea1ed the
large number ofdifferentconstituencies represented by the Democratic Party. The press and the vast majority of voters in Albany County still view the party as a monolith controlled by the county chairman and a small handful of advisers. Yet, there are as many different factions and viewpoints in the local Democratic Party as there are in the national party. Even in the minority community, we found strong disagreements on both policy and personalities within the county committee. Alliances between these various groups are constantly coalescing and evaporating, depending upon the particular issue or campaign. I began.(o have a greater appreciation for the incredible skills needed by a county chairman, especially in this county, to keep these various groups generally united and working toward a common goal.
***** • It ~ould be impossible to do

report in this short space. But reference to just a few of the recommendations will demonstrate, I think, that both the party chairman and the task force are serious about fundamental change.
Candidate review FlI"st, the executive committee
will be significantly expanded to 36 members, including 26 chosen from election districts in all the municipalities throughout the county. A new candidate-review committee and process will be established, whereby candidates
-for major offices will be interviewed and recommepdations made to the party for endorsement. The procedure for selecting ward leaders and town chairpersons has been formalized and preference has been established for committeepersons _and ward leaders residing in their respective districts and wards. A significantly expanded Code of Ethic~ includes a number of new proVIsions that will put the party on record as prohibiting the use of any party or governmental office for private gain; prohibit the violations of any person's electoral rights or privileges; deny discrimination on any basis in the political process; and provide an enforcement mechanism to remove party officials who might violate the Code of Ethics.
Policy development In addition, the committee
recommended a- number of changes that would increase the efficiency of the party and make its operations more like those of an efficient business e_nterprise. New committees were recommended to help train new committeepersons, campaign workers, and other interested party volunteers.
A handbook will be developed as an information guide for com-
mitteepersons; a professional staff was recommended for a new and expanded county headquarters; and a policy committee was proposed to do research and policy development on issues ofconcern to the greater community.
All in all, the recommendations - if adopted and implementedwould convert the Albany County Democratic Committee into one of the most democratically run committees, not only in New York State, but in the entire United States.
Six months ago, I would have thought that the chances for such implementation in Albany County would be nil. After listening to scores of committee people testify at our public meetings, and _ talking individua1ly with a number ofDemocratic Party leaders, I no longer feel that way. Just believing that this change can happen has left me in a state of utter amazement.

THE SPOTLIGHT
'Refuse capital' could sacrifice quality of life
Absentee ballot bar irks voter. Editor, The Spotlight:
Editor, The Spotlight: I am writing to address a num
ber ofissues that come to mind as the debate over the June 18 referendum continues.
1. Some seem lulled by the mistaken idea that ifwe accept an incinerator, South Bethlehem will not get a landfIll. This is a naive approach. Do you really trust the same politicians who gave you the HomesteadActfollowingre-evaluation?
And what if no one else wants to take the toxic ash "our" incinerator would produce and we had tokeepit"athome"?Wherewould the toxic ash be landfilled? Delmar? Slingerlands? South Bethlehem would once again be the target, for the same reasons it was ~n the first place. The best defense IS
to ensurethatwe do not become a dumping ground for either an incinerator or a regional landfill.
2. Most of us live in Bethlehem for the quality of life here. As a refuse capital, that would no longer be the case. According to a local Realtor, at the very proposal of an incinerator, property values drop by 12 to 20 percent. Imagine the drop in value once.the thing is up and running! Try balancing that realty loss against a $60-per-person tax incentive, if ANSWERS promises are made good.
3. Why should we want to import 20 to 30 times the amount of trash we ourselves produce? And, since the entire Capital District does not produce enough solid waste to support one of the. three proposed incinerators, where does the waste come from? Is it shipped by train or barge from New York City and environs?
4. Perhaps most important is that the Hudson Valley is out of compliance for federal air quality standards, and the Center for Disease Control cites the Capital District as one of the worst in the country for respiratory ailments, including asthma. Yet, knowing that our air is unfit, our town fathers are encouraging another polluter to move in.
5. Personally, I have reasons to oppose the incinerator; After afew years of working in the area of A1bany'sANSWERSwaste-burner and living under VA and Albany Med's incinerators, I went from robust health to suddenly being diagnosed with asthma and my family and I suffered myriad respiratory problems.

entirely responsible, the decline in my family's health and subsequent relief on moving to Glenmont certainly does.seem too coincidental.
6. No one knows the long-term health impact these incinerators have. Only now are we realizing the deleterious effect ANSWERS in downtown Albany has had, and yet that WaS "state-of-the-art" 10 years ago. Now, the creators of that literally stinking abomination want us to accept their latest "stateof-the-art" incinerator. Are we to become the latest ANSWERS experiment?

Small landfill may fit town's waste needs
Editor, The Spotlight: In the May 20 Spotlight, a let
ter from Mr. Brian Bagley indicated hissupportfor the proposed waste incinerator, one reason being that an incinerator to burn trash would not require a landfill. This is not true.
The incineration process leaves a substantial amount of ash and residue which must be transported to a landIDI. Very often this ash contains high levels of toxic materials not burned. So while our town mayor may not site a landfill to dispose of this ash, if an incineratoris built, there will be a landfill nearby .
Choosing a landfill to solve our waste problem may pose a greater threat to the next generation and the environment than a small, well-

SEMASS visitor calls .... plant potential benefit Editor, The Spotlight:
I recently had the opportunity to tour SEMASS, the waste-tc>energy plant in Rocllester, Mass. I hesitate to call it an incinerator, in that it doesn't "burn" trash and garbage, but recycles it into other . items such as metallics, solids, and electricity,
From only one visit to this facility I can find no fault or reason for not siting a similar plant on cabbage Island in Bethiehem. The benefits from such a facility seem to far outweigh any other suggested means of dealing with our ongoing waste problems.
I will be voting "yes" June 18. Glenmont L S. Mackey

'Worst scenario' drawn by incinerator skeptic Editor, The Spotlight:
It is my understanding that you have a proposal for an incinerator for your area. That proposal is' being put forth by Energy Answers Corporation of New York. That same corporation plus numerous subsidiaries connected with them also gave us a proposal here in Carver, Mass., which resulted in the SEMASS incinerator project.
I don't have all the particulars about your proposal so I cannot comment on each aspect and tell you where the pitfalls lie. My information is based on what hapPenedto us!
First, incinerator proponents like to place the incinerator on the edge of one town so the noise and odorproblemsaffectanothertown which has very little influence on clearing up those noise and odor problems. The "host" town does little complaining because they get income.
I would be very wary of any proposal situated at the edge of the town it's in. Put it SQuarely in the center of the town that is foolish enough to desire such a project. They reap the benefits, let them reap the pitfalls!

and ash. A few points to ponder are:
In our situation we have a district committee overseeing the landfill. These appointed officials haveac1oseworkingsituationwith SEMASS officials and have proceeded to "give away" the benefits originally promised our town. Those benefits we voted on!
The incinerator has been a disaster to local neighbors. Noise and odor problems continue unabated. State officials have cited SEMASS several times. My opinion is state officials are reluctant to initiate much action because so many towns use SEMASS. In 1993 a solution is proposed. That solution is EXPANSION!
When we voted to allow the landfill in our town it was for a few local communities. It has turned into a"all theworld!"Trucks labor through our town, destroying our roads, and leave their trash here to pollute us forever. No one can adequately supervise or pick over tons of waste to be sure no hazardous waste is contained. You can naively believe it is so, but it isn't
We have violations of the site assignment at the landfill. Leachate levels are not maintained, ash is placed over trash, and unshredded trash bypasses! the plant when it is shut down.'
1. No matter what you voted on, spell out, dictate, contract, legislate, or whatever, it can all be taken away. I speak from' our experience here.
2. Noise and odor near the incinerator are a severe problem. No action offers any relief. Talkto SEMASS neighbors, those who do not benefit from the plant.
3. All lined landfiJls leak! Therefore, you will eventually pollute your water supply. make sure the new ash landfill is not near an old landfill or you will be blamed for most of the problems!
4. You will not be allowed to supervise much. It is too dangerous for anyone except incinerator officials to be present. You must rely on their capabilities to be sure the flow of waste is monitored carefully and all hazardous waste removed.
5. Air-poJlution equipment is inadequate. Mercury and dioxins still escape and pollute land in the area. State officials do monitor but once every nine months on an appointment basis. No surprises here!
6. Don't forget to address water drawdown. Millions of gallons a year disappear as steam. Make sure your aquifer is capable of
If you have a trash problem, then solve it, but should you solve itfor theworld aswe foolishly did? Trash will come in from hundreds of miles away, quite often under the guise of "spot market" ship-ments! '
I wish someone had writtelY a letter like this to me. Believe me, we wouldn't be in such a mess here.
In our state, SEMASS engineers do all the studies on landfill life, water draWdown, pollution, etc. The state accepts those calculations with no outside independent contracts. Get the money and hire your own engineers to be sure of what facts need to be addressed. Carver, Mass. Claire DeLoid

the best solid waste management option that includes incineration, Smith said. Because EACh as put forth a proposal, it will be ana-lyzed by the town. .
The EAC proposal must first be determined to be environmentally sound and economically feasible, according to Smith. Next, the proposal would have to be approved by the state Department of Environmental Conservation.

a fiscally and environmentally unsound proposal," Smith said. "EAC is a suitor - it wants to do business with the town. TI,e town remains capable of not accepting or rejecting any pa!ticular plan."
. Because the Capital District is facing proposals for burn plants from two other companies, there is concern that more than one plant will win EnConapproval1md be built. Delmar resident Liz McCoy, a member of Bethlehem Work On Waste and the task force, said the referendum will determine if residents support incineration in the town, but ignores other issues, such as burn plant proposals put forth by American Hef-Fuel and Ogden Projects Inc.
"Only one issue is being presented to the voters," McCoy said. 'The issue is 'Do you support incineration?' But the real issue is, 'You may support incineration, but how many will you support in the Capital District?"
Although a "yes' vote binds . the town to pursue incineration, it is not obligated to site an incinerator if EnCon approves any other proposals.
"Bethlehem will not pursue incineration is there is an incinerator sited in the Capital District,' Smith said.
The task force stated last March that if Green Island hosts a wasteto-energy plant, Bethlehem should not. According to a task force report, the group views "the EAC proposal as a competing plan which may have a superior technology and is worthy of full review."
It is the responsibility of Bethlehem, EnCon and other involved communities to choose the best competing plan for the region, the report stated.
Supervisor Ken Hingler does not believe in.lhe proliferation of incineration plants in the region. "If there is a regional waste-toenergy facility sited (in the Capital District), I will do everything in my power to avoid one being sited in Bethlehem.
"I believe incineration is a necessary part of the solid waste management solution, but I certainly do not want an incinerator on every street corner."
In addition, because the state encourages a regional approach to solid waste management, it is "almost certain that EnCon will not site more than one incinerator in the area," Smith said.
TIlere are controls within Bethlehem to prevent the siting of unwanted facilities. According to

THE SPOTLIGHT
Secor, the controls include the current zoning law, the permitting process and the proposed local law, "Permitting of Solid Waste Management Facilities."
TI,ese legal obstacles were in place when American Hef-Fuel considered constructing a burn plant in Bethlehem. Before the company chose Green Island as a site for its incinerator, it had proposed to build on Cabbage Island.
According to Hingler, he iden. tilled the legal obstacles to Hef' Fuel officials, noting it would be to the company's advantage to get past state environmental requirements before going through town siting proceedings. Hef-Fuellater proposed a site in Green Island.
Smith said residents criticized town officials for not considering the proposal. They said an incinerator not only would have benefitted the town economically, but also would have been part of the solid waste management solution.
"Some said, Why not consider such a resource?' and these were not casual, infrequent comments,' Smith said.
The] une 18 referendum is part of the evolutionary process in trying to find a solution to the town's solid waste management crisis, Smith said. "Some residents complained the town booted American Ref-Fuel out.H we get a good turnout for the vote, then we'll get the feel of the community.
"Supervisor Hingler and the town board feel on an issue as sensitive as this, if we could create a legal referendum, the preferable option is to get the sense of the town."
Smith noted (he referendum may be influenced by residents'

-Irish wedding toast The tradition of toasting the
bride and groom on their wedding day has been around for centuries in one form or another, butthere's always room for variation, as a look back at history clearly illustrates.
According to toasting expert Paul Dickson, author of the book Toasts!, some of the earliest examples of people raising their glasses to celebrate a new marriage can be traced back to 17th century Scotland.
In that era, the parents of the happy couple would arrange to meet at a point halfway between their two homes to iron out the final details of the match. If all went smoothly, they would crack open a bottle of whiskey to cele-
brate the upcoming nuptials. calls for two key toasts - the fIrst Inanothereven~ which is simi- from the best man to the bridal

Brides must plan ahead If you're a working woman and
a bride-ta-be, you've undoubtedly discovered that gown fittings, blood tests and honeymoon arrangements can wreak havoc with an already hectic schedule. How do you cope? By using three techniques familiar to every professional woman: organize the project, delegate responsibilities; and pace yourself so you can focus on things that require your personal attention.
First, spend time with your groom-ta-be making important foundational decisions such as a suitable date and the number of wedding guests. Also, decide on a certain wedding style: traditional, Victorian, contemporary or one unique to you.
Next, Devise a countdown calendar of events leading up to your big day. Include all your plans in an easy-to-follow chart form; u!>' date it regularly as you get things done. If you have access to a computer, it will be easy to input Jlnd update tasks. And while you
are doing this, ask recent and even not-so-recent brides for their wedding preparation advice and suggestions.
For additional help, you can always elicit the assistance of a wedding consultant. Because of their contacts, they can save you money, time and effort.
They handle all the nitty-gritty work like renting a hall, hiring a florist, caterer and decorator, ordering paraphernalia such as napkins and match boxes, and best of all, negotiating prices. Once you give t1lem a budget to work with, you're in the clear to spend time on the star of the wedding .. . you.

In this era of frequent divorces, a couple who stays tpgether for many years deserves special recognition.
The nightJoe agreed to come for dinner, Judy was supposed to go out with a "hunk, a real hunk." She cancelled the date, and en· joyed the evening with Joe.
After 50years of marriage, one Delmarcouplerecentlycelebrated with a party for family and friends. JoeandJudy Lamprecht, who were wed on April 4, 1942, invited about 60 people to share their golden anniversary with them at N ormanside Country Club.
The couple's daughter, Cynthia Wetzell of Minneapolis, wrote a skit about their meeting, courtship and first years of marriage which was performed at the celebration. "Our daughter really sur· prised us with that skit" Judy Said.
Her three sisters Were there with their boyfriends. After din· ner, when she and Joe turned on

The couple has lived in Delmar for 25 years. Their daughter and. son are now 44 and 48, and they have SIX grandchildren. These days they "keep busy,enjoyfriends and enjoy each other."
Although "It's all been fun," some of Judy's favorite memories from her 50 years of marriage involve family vacations to visit her sister, brother·in·law and their four children. The couples enjoyed chatting, sometimes about her brother·in-Iaw's job on the U.S. boarder patrol, while the kids played.
Another local couple who recently marked 50 years of mar· riage are Ann and Frank Rosch III of Albany. Their six sons, three of whom reside in Colonie, helped them celebrate during a special Mass at St. Patrick's Church in Albany, where they were married on May 16, 1942.
This time, however, Ann found theweather much more agreeable.

Solutions to wedding gift-giving dilemma
Who among us hasn't suffered from "perfection syndrome" when faced with fmding a perfectly suitable wedding gift? Information gathered from a survey on wed· ding gift shopping indicated that the search for the perfect wed' ding gift is diffIcult and a source of anxiety for many people.
According to surveys, fortyeight percent fInd wedding gift shopping somewhat or very diffIcult. Men in particular are more· anxious about shopping for a wedding gift than women. Twentysix percent of the men compared it with "doing taxes" and 21 percent with a "trip to the dentist." The major concern of 57 percent of all interviewed was buying a gift that pleases both the bride and groom. Fifty-four percent of wedding gift-givers had a fear of giving a "cheap-looking" gift, and 45 percent were concerned with the pressure of giving something having symbolic significance.
A common comment heard from those shopping for a bride and groom is "What sho'uld I get them? I'm sure they don't need a toaster!" But often the newlyweds do need a toaster, as well as other small kitchen appliances ..
Considering the many pressures facing newlyweds, domestic responsibilities must compete with career demands, leaving little time for meal planning and cooking so and all-in-one-appliance.

timeless classics of marriage mayhem for your grandchildren to see.
"We capture it as it happens," said Pete Pezzulo, general manager of the 10-year·old video pro-duction company,
"We're one of the few that pro-vide a two--camera shoot and we
. try to make it like a documentary.·
When What's Happenin' first started videotaping weddings in 1982, there were only a few other companies in the area that offered the service. But, in 1984, business picked up as the popularity of wedding videos grew.
Today, Pezzulo counts almost 20 similar businesses in the area.
"Because we've been at it so long and acquired so much equipment, we're ahead of the others."
Even though What's Happenin' is more technically advanced than some others in the area, Pezzulo's company tries not to get caught up in "the 90s kind of glitz.·
In other words, they don't rely on staging or directing the action to get the perfect look.
"It's their wedding day and we shouldn't be taking up their time with that stuff."
Instead, What's Happenin' tries to capture the typical scenes, as well as the unexpected moments of the day.
"We like to getto the house real early and try to blend in. You can get a lot of commotion like women huddled around a mirror putting makeup on.
"1be video comes out belter when you get people who don't know they're being taped.·
Aftertaping dozens of wed dings over the years, Pezzulo said the best moments usually come at the end of the reception, when a closeknit group of family and friends are still partying.
"It's the stuff that happens at the end that's the best," he said. "1bat's when we get people dancing on tables and doing chicken fights." .
Sometimes, of course, embarrassing moments end up on tape

that the bride and groom don't want saved for posterity. For inslance, there was the lime the best· man toasted the groom by saying, "I hope this one works out b~tter than the last time."
TIle bride didn't appreciate the comment about the groom's previous marriage, and What's Happenin' heeded her wishes. It was left on the cutting room floor.
Pezzulo advises the bride and groom to shop around for a video production company, watch a demotapeofeachcompany'swork and ask how they interid to putthe story together.
"Make sure they don't takeaway from what your day should be. They should gather information as it happens and not create something that isn't supposed to be there."
You should also try to book six months ahead of time.
A one-camera shoot at What's Happenin' costs $445; a lwo-camera shoot costs $645. Forthatprice, you get eight hours with the video crew and a master tape. Additional copies cost $12.50 each.
"I wouldn't be in this business if 1 didn't believe in it,· he said. "I think it's probably as valuable, if not more, than photographs because it gives 'you a feel for the motion."
Bridesmaids can dress in stylish classics
This spring, there's good news in the air for every woman who's ever complained that she's "always a bridesmaid and never a bride."
Accordingto Bride's magazine, 1990sfashions for bridesmaids are
. tasteful, stylish and prettier than ever. From showstoppingevening gowns to updated classics. these dresses were made for celeb'rating.
Some favorite styles include: Elegant:Long, body-skimming
silhouettes will be making waves at weddings this year. Dresses
. may·be strapless - tied in a soft bciwlit the bust with delicate lace sleeves or covered with a jacket for the ceremony.
Maids will be dressed in headturning colors like indigo, aubergine, deep emerald and saffron. And don't forget black; this sophisticated color looks stunning alone; spectacular when contrasted with white or rich jewel tones.
'. 'Romantic: Ballerina-inspired styles have full tulle skirts and fitted corset bodices in eyelet or velvet. Or dresses may evoke the '20s, with sheer layers and drop waists, to be worn with long strands of pearls.
Choosing a theme makes your wedding unique
Colors range from palest pastels-seashell pink, morning-skY blue, celery green - to classic navy and white.
Country: Folkloric touches will enhance wedding parties. Walch for colorful embroidery, lace-up bodices. pinafores with full skirts and flouncy white petticoats.
Cotton prints, such asgingham checks and garden florals, grace pretty sundresses for summer weddings. Silhouettes may be short and simple, or float on layers of ruilles.
Flowers and theirm.eanings
Many people believe flowers are a great way to express thoughts and feelings for one another. So, if you ever give or receive a flower as a gift, keep these meanings in mind.
-Violet: Friendship and marriage
-Rose: Think of me -Ivy: Remembrance -Red Chrysanthemum: Courage .
-Pansy: Long life -Rue: Regard -Rosemary: Faithfulness -Thyme: Hate and love -Sage: Blushes and joy

Although the show serves as a fundraiser for the society's educational programs, it also represents a chance for the society, on Albany-Shaker Road past the airport, to open its doors and let the public know what they have to offer.
"It's a fantastic way to introduce people to the site: said Diane Conroy-laCivita, the society's executive director. "The antique show has always been very popular."
With volunteers wandering the grounds in Shaker regalia throughout the day, traveling back to a time when goods were hand-made with pride won't be difficult.
The Shaker art of chair taping, which involves the weaving together of strips of cloth or tape, will be a featured demonstration, said Conroy-laCivita. Visitors will be encouraged to take an active part and get a little hands-on experience in the art, she said.
Members of the society and other '. crafters will offer additional demonstra-'
. Chairs and other antiques abound at the Shaker Heritage Society.
tions in areas as diverse as oval box making, broom making, herb gardening, quilting and woodworking.
Society members will be offering tours of the grounds throughout the day, Conroy-laCivita said, which includes an introduction to the society's own orchard, the Shaker cemetery, the 1848 Meeting
House and the 1856 milk and herb storage house.
For those who need still more of a "taste" of Shaker heritage, traditional Shaker foods and beverages, with an emphasis on breads and pies, will tempt visi-tors'tastebuds. .
People may want to try to recreate
Shaker recipes at home, and what better way than to use herbs grown in the Shakers' own garden. The society's herbalist, Ralph Weller, will provide tours of the herb gardens throughout the day, and a vqriety of herbs are for sale.
At the heart of the celebration is the antique show, and a mixture of chairs, oval boxes, tools, pottery, art work, quilts, maps and other personal effects of Shakers will be available for perusal and purchase, she said.
Other booths will feature more contemporary items such as American country furniture, stoneware, books and various plants and flowers.
Individuals can bring personal Shaker items from home, "as long as they are not really large," to have them appraised free of charge by the society's own antique appraiser anytime during the day, said Conroy-laCivita.
"We have a core group that comes year after year, but we are always looking for new people to introduce to the society: she said. "We wanted to create an event where we can continue to preserve the Shaker traditions."
The show opens with an early-buying preview from 8 to 10 a.m., and continues from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Cost is $10 for the . early preview, $3.50 for regular admission and $3 with any ad for the show. Children under 12 are admitted for free.
Parking is provided at Heritage Park next door to the society.
For information, call the society at 456-7890.
Women race for dough in cookie company classic BY Michael DeMasi
The company that's known for the tasty chocolate chip cookies in small brown boxes is once again giving area women the chance to run off all those calories when it sponsors its annual road race in Albany.
The Freihofer's Run for Women, an early summer ritualfor 14 years, will hit the streets Saturday, June 6, at 10:15 a.m. on Madison Avenue near the state museum.
-' ~,
": .. , ... ,. With nearly 2,000 runners pre-registered for the
fIve kilometer race, the event is shaping up to be the biggest ever, said George Regan, director of the race.
"I'm thrilled we've got a fIeld this strong. The race has a reputation around the country and world
as being a top notch, highly competitive women's road race."
According to Regan, the race has grown in popularity over the last 10 years as more women have gotten into running_ .
"I think women really embraced the idea of an . all-women's race.- With the attention that's been paid to it, it has continued to grow over the years."
This year, the race will be taped by ESPN and shown at a later date.
From 1983 to 1988, the race was 10 kilometers long and sanctioned as a U.S. championship event. In 1989, a 5K race was added. This year, for the fIrst time, the 10K won't be run.
"A 10K is a two-hour event minimum and we have to give the street back to Albany at 1 p.m."
Also, he said, the shorter race has consistently attracted between three and fIve times the number of runners that the 10K has attracted.
The top 15 fInishers of the race will each receive cash prizes, ranging from $5000 for fIrst place to $100 for the 14th and 15th place runners.
In addition, there will be bonuses for the fll'st Adirondack Association fInisher, the fIrst TAC/ USA Association fInisher and the fIrst master (over age (0) finisher. The awards ceremony will be held at 1 p.m. at the plaza. .
Besides national and international runners who may be competing in the Olympics this summer in Barcelona, Spain, there will also be scores of local

Actor marks 20 years of theater work with his performances in WizardofOz As Joel Aroeste swaggers about the stage at The Egg as
the Cowardly lion in the Theatre Institute's The Wizard of Oz, he is marking almost 20 years ofperfonning for young audiences, and the third time he has perfonned in productions of this popular musical.
Aroeste first attracted local attention as a dent at State U niversily at Albany •• 1Ii when he perfonned as Tony, the older man who attempts to woo a young woman in Frank Loesser's Most Happy Fella.
Watching that performance in 1971 at the Universily, one was struck by Ihe studenfs abilily to capture the poignancy of the character while singing the operatic melodies written by Loesser.
When Patricia Snyder, then aJac- Martin P. Kelly ully member at the universily, put together a production of The Wizard ofOz in 1973, Aroeste was cast as the Cowardly .lion, Ihe role Bert Lahr played. in the movie version.
Since then, Ihe burly actor has been identified with the role even though he has played almast 100 parts since that time. He was a hit when the student company travelled to Moscow in 1974. Later when Ihe Empire State Institute for Ihe Perfanning Arts was organized, he once again played the Cowardly lion on tours of Europe and Ihe Near East after another production of the musical was mounted in
·1982. When Snyder received Legislative approval to organize
the state-funded ESIPAin 1976, Aroestewasone of Ihe first actors she hired. Ironically, he is one oflhe last still funded by Ihe state. since a 75,percent cut was made in the Theatre Institute's budget
For Aroeste and the rest of the Theatre Institute company, Ihis production of The Wizard of Oz may well be its final curtain unless funds are found to keep it alive. legislation was passed to give it a special sole custody account free of State Universily governance.

THE SPOTLIGHT June 3, 1992 - PAGE 39
New BMW sport wagon model arrives in Latham The new BMW 525i Touring, a model
that combines the driving pleasure of a sports sedan wilh the utilily of a station wagon, has arrived at Keeler Motor Car Company.
Based on the 525i sedan, the Touring uses that model's 2.5-liter dual overheadcam six-cylinder engine teamed to a fourspeed automatic transmis&ion. This advanced powerplant produces 189 horsepower, yet delivers commendable fuel efficiency and requires virtually no periodic maintenance beyond oil, filler and sparkplug changes. Self-leveling rear suspension keeps lhe car level regardless of the load carried.
As on all BMWs, a Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) driver's side air bag and anti-lock brakes (AilS) are stan-
dard equipment. Comfort and convenience features
abound. Standard equipment includes 10-way power front seals, a lO·speaker sound system and climate control wilh individual left/right temperature adjustment. Microfilter ventilation keeps out pollen, pollutants and other irritants. On pleasant days, front and rear passengers can enjoy a unique dual-position sunroof.
At first blush, a station wagon wearing the familiar BMW badge might seem a bit out of character-bolh for stalion wagons and for BMW. Yet, the station wagon has its roots not in family transportation, but as a specialty vehicle to carry travelers. The term "station wagon" was first used to describe luxuriously
