Flame at Metz landfill fizzles EnCon admits to problems with system

By Mel Hyman Supervisor Ken Ringler has written to

the. state Department of Environmental Conservation about reports that the re­cently-installed methane gas burn unit at the formerMetz landfill has been working erratically. ~ _, ~

I request that your office review the compliance . requirements and advise my office if they are being taken care of.

Ken Ringler

Ringler said he was visited recently by CharlotteAuclair of South Bethlehem who said that the industrial flare has been off more times than it has been on.

Dump owner Harlan Metzwas ordered by En Con to install the flare after a passive gas collection system installed last year proved ineffective.

Auclair maintained that the daily moni­toring of the device, which was supposed to occur under the most recent closure plan ordered by En Con; hasn't been done. She also said the facility was supposed to have a telephone number posted that people can call if there is a problem.

The industrial flare unit at the former Metz landfill has been acting erratically even though neighbors say the odors have ceased.

"I request that your office review the. compliance requirements and advise my office if they are being taken care of," Ringler's letter said.

Region IVEnConEngineer Eldred Rich said a response to Ringler's letter should be forthcoming this week "We've had a number of problems with the flare," he said. "We're working with the manufac­turer from Texas and with thepowerco.m­pany on straightening. out the problems.

"The thing is that when it works prop­erly, it's great. It burns off the hydrogen sulfide gas." Even when the flare is off, Rich said, the clay cap should prevent any

·gas from leaking out. That seems to be what's happening,

according to neighbors living near the dump. Fred Woehrmann, whose property borders the dump on Spawns Hollow Road, said that since the flare was installed, the

BC pupils spend su computing at ByDevTobin

For 25 Bethlehem Central middle schoolers, the past two weeks offered a four-course feast of technology from com­puters to architecture.

The summer technology enrichment program, co-sponsored by the district and Hudson Valley Community· College, in­troduced fifth- through eighth-graders to · electronics, robotics, computer-aided drafting and manufacturing, and design of load-bearing structures.

"I liked how you ·could have fun while learning," said fifth-grader Megan Fish, as she put the finishing touches on a rect­angular plastic medallion inscribed by a computer-driven milling machine with a star and "USA"

The program offered pupils the first chance to use the computer numeric con­trol milling machine, which the district purchased for its new high school pre­engineering course, BCHS teacher Bob Yeters said.

BC students enjoying RPI experience Police arrest rape suspect

The writer of this article is a junior at Bethlehem Central High School. By Jared Beck

When I received the letter in early June offering me an appren­ticeship in a chemistry lab at the I<ensselaer Polytechnic Institute for the summer, the first emotion that hit me was one of relief.

Now, I knew that my parents would get off my back about find­ing a summer job. However, the apprenticeship has so far proven to bemuchmorethanajob. Words like unique, intriguing, and chal­lenging accurately describe this relatively new program offered by ~I in Troy.

As one of the seven students from area high schools selected to take part in the program- two of them, including myself, are from 13ethlehem-I was assigned to ·a graduate research lab in­volved in the synthesis of organic polymers (long-chained com­pounds).

The other 13ethlehem student, Dan Levine, a soon-to-be senior, received an assignment in a physi­cal chemistry lab. "It has been great to perform hands-on re­search in a chemistry lab. It's the kind ofopportunityyou don't find in many areas," Levine said.

Certainly, the apprenticeship has been "hands on." For ex-

ample, wilh the assistance of graduate student Craig Th­ompson, I've learned to operate many types of equipment that I never dreamed I'd see until col­lege. Sophisticated computer­controlled, analysis systems like NMI<spectroscopy, v;hichstands for nuclear magnetic resonance, is just one of the machines that I've come across.

However, most of my day is spent in a chemist's natural habi­tat - the laboratory. 'D1ere, I observe and assist in conducting

various reactions and associated procedures ranging from the simplest like washing out glass­ware to the more complex, such as setting up distillations or run­ningthin-layerchromatographies (an analysis technique used to determine the purity of a com­pound). I keep a journal of the experiments that I run, just as a· graduate student. would.

In essence, the apprenticeship at I<PI has given me the responsi­bilities of a graduate student in polymer chemistry for this sum-

mer. Thompson and Professor James A. Moore (the professor in charge of the research group) have helped to round out the experience, by taking time to explain the theoretical chemistry behind the reactions that occur in the lab.

I've also perused chemical journals and doctoral theses. With only one year of high school chemistry in my background; I haven't been able to understand everything, but the apprentice­ship is such a great educational opportunity that I've learned an incredible amount.

An added bonus to the enrich­ment of the internship is the fact that each participant is paid $1,250. Yet I have a feeling that, by summer's end, I will have gained a lot more from the pro­gram than the money.

On the surface, working in a chemistry lab has opened my eyes to the challenges of chemical research, and this could play a role when I decide upon a career in the future. However, even if I go into a field entirely unrelated to science, I think that I've ac­quired some important values at 1~1.

Organic reactions are invari­ably slow, and they don't always work. So, if anything, ('ve learned to be patient butpersistent.ln the midst of all the symbols and equa­tions, this might be the most valu­able lesson of the entire summer.

Bethlehem police arrested a New York City man on Sunday who was wanted on a charge of first-degree rape.

John J. Thomas, 29, was ar­rested by Officer Bruce Oliver at about1:30p.m.nearanabandoned house on Route 9W near Wemple Road, police said. Oliver was re­sponding to a call from a con­cerned citizen who spotted Tho­mas and thought he was acting suspiciously.

As it turned out, a computer check revealed that a warrant had been issued for Thomas' arrest for first-degree rape, according to U. Frederick Halligan.

Thomas, who had been riding down Route 9W on a bicycle be­fore he dumped it in the bushes and entered the building, ran out the front door when police ar­rived. He was unarmed when Oliverchasedhimdownandmade the arrest, Halligan said.

Thomas was remanded to the Albany County Jail to await trans­fer to New York City.

IRS seizes Haggerty's for nonpayment of taxes By Mel Hyman

The sign on the window of the former restaurant could not be more explicit: "This property has been seized for nonpayment of federal taxes."

OnThursday,Aug.l9,aU0:30 a.m., the contents of Haggerty's Restaurant & Pub will be sold at a public auction administered by the Internal Revenue Service.

The sale will include, but not be limited to; bar equipment, restaurant equipment, tables, chairs and bar stock. The mini­mum bid will be announced at the time of the auction.

Haggerty's, which opened for business in January 1992, was owned and managed by Tom and Diane Acosta of Castleton. They took over the former Shanty, which had been a popular local restaurant and watering hole for many years.

Over the past year-and-a-half, the Acostas managed to ring up eight state tax liens and seven federal tax liens, according to records in the Albany County Clerk's Office.

Tom Acosta was a former employee of the Shanty, said Marty Cornelius, president of the Bethlehem Chamber of Com­merce. wrhe Shanty was a popu­lar place and so was Haggerty's. They both were very well liked. It was a great place for lunch," sh~ said.

The Acostas were "very civic oriented," Cornelius said. Last year they o(fered to close the bar one night a week so that teen­agers could have a place to go.

They also orrered live enter­tainment on· weekends. "A local group, the Newports, played there quite often," Cornelius said. ''They even helped with food for the bicentennial. Whatever we asked for they provided. They'll be missed."

The end appears to have come suddenly for Haggerty's. Even though the signed IRS notice is dated Thursday, June. 19, the sandwich board/marquee in the J1ont foyer still notes coming at­tractions such as the Rock River Band on June 18, and a special Father's Day brunch on June 19.

Efforts to reach the Acostas were unsuccessful.

It was ashort-livad experiment for Toin and Diane Acosta as Haggerty's Restaurant & Pub was seized recently by the Internal Revenue Service. Elaine McLain

Delmar author's book 1st in trilogy V'ville village board to rent Sellnow house By Mel Hyman

In preparation for his recently­published book, Beneath the Sky, Delmar author Paul Block made a six-week trek across the Silk Road - the historic route that Marco Polo took from China across the Himalayas. ·

It's still the same bumpy, dirt road it was a century and a half ago. when China and, England were involved inwhatwenowcall the Opium Wars, so it was an appropriate vacation of sorts given the subject.of Block's book.

In fact, the 42-year-old author is under contract from Bantam Books for a trilogy about this historical period. He's halfway through the second book, so he was in an upbeat mood when inter-viewed last week. •

"I'm the type who really puts off writing and doesn't enjoy the actual task until I'm caught up in it," 131ocksaid. "Atfrrst, you're sit­ting there, staring at 600-plus blank pages. It's like a marathon. TI1e frrst 10 miles are torture, but

agreementfortheformerSellnow house next to village hall, which the village· had purchased for $75,000 in 1991 for potential ex­pansion of its offices.

"We've moved a-long way in a month, and it's now prepared for occupancy," said Mayor Edward Clark at last week's village board meeting, noting that the interior has been cleaned and painted, the roof repaired, and a new refrig­erator and water heater installed.

We've moved a long way in a month, · and it's now pre­pared for occu­pancy.

Edward Clark

The house will be available to a tenant this month, Clark said.

The tenant, who will pay rent of $400 to $600 a month, has agreed to paint the exterior be­fore occupancy and do routine maintenance, explained Don Meacham, village attorney, who will draw up a three-year lease for the house.

"We're not going to do any­thing with it for three years any­way," said Trustee Susan Rockmore.

A proposal to site a day care center in the house fell through in the fall due to the costs of renovat­ing the building for that use.

In other business, the b~ard

agreed to modify the village zon­ing ordinance to allow porches i!l commercial districts. ·

"Everybody on the planning commission believes porches should be an allowed use" in commerCial zones, Clark said.

The board will have a public hearing on changing the ordi­nance before the regular meet­ing on Tuesday, Aug. 24, at 7:30 p.m.

Also, neighbors of the Voorheesville Rod and Gun Club on Foundry Road have com­plained of noise and possible safety ~roblems at the site.

Clark said he had visited the area and confrrmed that the shoot­ing was "very loud· and intrusive."

When one neighbor said she had heard a whistling sound, Code. Enforcement Officer Gerald Gordinier said he didn't think the club should allow shooting with jacketed ammunition (which cre­ates the whistling sound errect).

Clark said he would contact club officials to set up a meeting on the safety and noise questiOJ1s.

In her report, Treasurer Lau­ren Tedesco reminded the board that the village will have to de­velop a plan to comply with the new federal law on disabilities.

The village may have to move its regular meeting place, cur­rently a secon(l-floor, non-wheel­chair-accessible room at village hall, to comply with the Ameri­cans with Disabilities Act, Tede­sco said.

"We liave to have a plan for everything," she said, including providing a sign language inter­preter if a deaf person should attend a village meeting.

GAMES-PRIZ PLENTY OF FREE PARKING AT TOWN SQUIRE

STARTS AT 6:00 EACH NIGHT

Looking ahead in the 102nd Assemblyman} ohn Faso's declaration that

he will seek the 1994 Republican nomination for State Comptroller presumably removes him from the possibility of retaining the seat he has held for the past seven years:

As a resident of Columbia County, Mr. Faso won his party's nomination in 1986 (because of a divided primary vote among Bethlehem Republicans) and then easily won the general election, as he has every two years since.

In the geographically iarge l02nd district that takes in slivers of two counties, most of another, and all of a fourth, he represents Bethlehem and Coeymans (and, currently, two of the hill towns). He is appropriately at­tentive to the interests of residents locally; in the Assembly, where his party is a feeble mi­nority, he is articulately aggressive though necessarily limited in effectiveness,

* * * * * The same would hold true for any Repub­

lican who might be elected in this district. But we constituents nonethele~s should

Editorials

expect that Mr. Faso's successor (regardless of party) would, first, bring to office the requisite qualities for first-class representa­tion: among these should be relevant public­service exposure, stature, legislative as well as intellectual capacity, breadth of outlook, integrity, and at least a streak of partisan independence. Mere ambition is not enough, and no one-issue advocates need apply.

If we are fortunate enough to be repre­sented by a person with these abilities and characteristics, we ought to be reasonably satisfied. But residents of Bethlehem and the other Aibany County towns- who form a substantial portion of the district's voters -can be pardoned for hoping, as well, that for the first time in many years they will be represented in the Assembly by one of"their own." The line undoubtedly will soon begin to form on the right for a variety of aspirants.

Our 'Like It Is' County Executive . Michael J. Hoblock Jr., Albany County's

Executive, is blessed with quality of determi­nation and the ability to express himself forcefully and with clarity. Hence, his mes­sage to the County Legislature vetoing the sales tax add-on extension rang with facts and truths.

"For 19 months I have been fighting the County Legislature for every consolidation or efficiency we have put in place.

"I believe many members . : . aren't inter­ested in improving the management and efficiency of Albany County ...

'They consistently reject measures to control our expenditures and improve the efficiency of government until it is too late to do anything but raise taxes.

"Until there is a bi-partisan determination to rise above politics to efficiently and effec­tively govern Albany County the battles· will continue.·

"Local governments have learned that they can work in a bi-partisan manm:r to raise taxes; now they should make the same effort to work with the county to consolidate the delivery of services.

By giving " the same attention to saving money that we give to spending . . . the county could prosper at the lower tax rate without resorting to massive property tax increase."

Having heard Mr. Hoblock's version of how things are in Albany County govern­ment, the legislators voted overwhelmingly to reject his opinion of them and the county's finances. Among his Republican colleagues, to their shame, all but two deserted.

The board, as currently constituted, has demonstrated numerous instances of dis­sent beyond Ms. Galvin's own. Although its five members are all Republicans; they have shown considerable independence, grant­ing that they might be assumed to approach many issues from a common background.

Persuasion-much -less dictation-by the town's Republican committee would be impossible to document. Allegations to the contrary are an unwarranted reflection on them as citizens worthy of public trust.

Nonetheless, Ms. Galvin's promise to remain "active in pursuit of political and governmental reforms" is a reassuring pros­pectthatthe local mix will continue in healthy ferment. Participation by articulate persons with ideas always is to be welcomed.

75 pet. of local drivers found wearing seat belt Editor, The Spotlight:-

A sample of 662 cars travelling through Delmar to Albany on Delaware Avenue showed that 75 percent of the drivers were wear­ing their seat belts.

Females represented 41 per· cent of the drivers. Ainong them 86 percent were belted compared to 73 percent of the men wearing their belts.

Bethlehem residents, on this early Friday morning, were aware of our New York seat belt law and its relation to their personal safety. Only 15 percent of the vehicles carried passengers, but 85 per­cent of them were also wearing

'Infotainment' demeans journalism's integrity Editor, The Spotlight:

Constant Reader's "Get Your Newsweek, Build a Bomb" column of July 21 makes clear tl1at re­sponsible journalism survives, at least in The Spotlight. I was ap­palled by the story in Newsweek, Ouly 12), and it's satisfying to me that you engage in criticism of it. Infotainment such as the Newsweek story regrettablydomi· nates the publishing industry without regard for stories appear· ing in "popular magazines" in particular.

In the race for readership -affecting profits derived from ad agency choices with respect to placement of advertising for big accounts- there's an imperative among editors of major popular magazines: Out-sensationalize other competitors or you'll not be around in the infotainment indus- · try.

Infotainment has driven out responsible journalism. Major newspapers are being affected as well; in fact, all in the publishing industry are taking their onstage cues from what has occurred in

the out-of-mind television indus­try. What has happened? Profits seem to have driven morality and responsibility from print and air.

Print media has changed. It has not always been the way it is. Thirty years ago, perhaps not so

· long ago too, it was possible to persuade an editor that a story should not go to print when a clear danger to lives would be involved. What follows comes from re-reading my files of 29 years ago.

At my 8:30 to 10.p.m. meeting with an associate editor of Time magazine, he was convinced by my arguments ~that as many as . 100 persons could lose their lives if a Time· correspondent's story filed in South Africa and picked up on a cable intercept would be put to 'print. No doubt about it, investigation by the correspon· dent had produced a solid story with detail sufficient to blow the lid off an underground railroad responsible for safe exit from South Africa for persons at risk.

lebrily can choose not to be a role model may never be entirely re­solved, and in the end it's only marginally important. Barkley, by announcing that he doesn't want debate about responsibility of star

athletes to be role models is thrust upon us once again.

In the ad, Barkley said, "I'm not paid to be a role model. I'm paid to wreak havoc on the basketball court."

Then Karl Malone, a power forward for the Utah Jazz, in an

. essay in Sports Illustrated, .coun­tered that entertainers, speeifically athletes, are "chosen" to be role models and can't choose not to be. "Our only choice," he wrote, "is whether to be a good role model or a bad one." Barkley's view is that "Parents should be role models."

This is an important topic, but, as stated, it's a little off focus. In demandingthat the entertainment world set a better example, we have lost sight of the fact that the most important role models aren't the people who-to quote an ad featuring another basketball player, Mici)ael Jordan-have their faces "on television every other minute."

Would anyone disagree that entertainers help to shape our ideals and perspectives, a power that certainly carries a measure of re~ponsibility?

And would anyone disagree that if parents don't raise a child well, there's not much a power forward can do about it? Con­versely, if a youngster has good

· parents how much harm can en­tertainers do?

Other than parents, the adults -with whom children routinely interact are likely to be over­Iooked.IfweweretouseBarkley's litmus test, teachers, babysitters, and camp counselors would be justa bout the only people in some sense paid to be role models. Clearly, other average citizens play a larger role than Malone, Jordan, and Barkley combinedc

It's not likely that most young peoplewantacelebrityentertainer to be their primary role model, and it's probably better that way, even if the celebrity sets a good example. If a boy chooses to model himself after Michael Jordan and then discovers that he can't relia­bly make a turn-around jump shot from the three-point line, then he is left to feel he has in some way failed.

It would be far more uplifting to meet an adult in the community who worked hard and found suc­cess in business or some other occupation than to read of some­one who escaped poverty because of a devastating spin move on the baseline.

TI1e question of whether ace-

young people can turn their heads.

But they cannot turn their heads from the adults they see every day. These people truly cannot decide against being role models. If their bfehavior is less than exemplary, the child will be far more negatively influenced; if they fall short, children are more likely to lose much more of their own hope. If these people live as true models, if they work hard , and strive to achieve appropriate goals, then a young person's.con- · fidence that he or she can do the same will be affirmed.

We niay legitimately object to the effect entertainers have, but. we must also recogni7.e that we have the power to more than counterbalance their influence. As celebrities cannot choose .not to take responsibility_for their power, parents and other persons in influential positions must take responsibility for theirs.

If positive role models are not presented, it is because adults have not been those role models. Whatever is said or done by bas­ketball players, musicians, or ac­

: tors, when it comes to providing examples it is those at home and

· in the community who mUst ac­cept responsibility.

c€~lebrating the coolness of arbors My attention was diverted this

. past week by articles in two com­pletely different periodicals· -Horticulture imdEmpire State Re­port. I'll try to touch on both ade­quately, if briefly.

Having spent part of my grow-. ing years in a house with a mam­

moth wisteria arbor outside my bedroom window, I am partial to that particular vine, and so it fol­lows that I was immediately at- -tracted to a fine article (actually, more pictures thrui'words) in the June-July issue of·'Horticulture. The writer is one of my favorites, Roger Swain, the magazine's sci­ence editor. He title.d it "Arbor Days, • because his topic is pergo­las, or arbors, and what they do for not only the landscape butfor the humans they shelter.

As Mr. Swain comments, "Whethertheframeworkiswhite­

. painted beams with scrolled ends orsimplyrough-bru·kedpoles, the unifying characteristic of all ar­bors is the web of foliage they support - be it bougainvillea, climbing rose, grape, honey­suckle, kiwi, trumpet vine; or wisteria ...

"For as long as people have worked the soil, • he writes, "they have sought the coolness of ar· bors ...

The display he offers features seven photographs of a variety of vines entwined with both finished and rough-hewn supports. Some

of the photos, outsized and color­ful, are very striking- especially the one on the opening two-page spread, delightful in its presenta­tion of an overhanging vine above a multi-colored field of blossoms below.TI1is picture fills the entire spread save for a rather small box · of text which itseif is essentially an overlay that carries ·out the . overall visual impression.

Elsewhere in this issue of "The magazineofAmericangardening" are several other interesting, useful, and well-produced articles, including a short one on the meadow lily ~ but perhaps the best page of all is an advertise­ment placed by a fertilizer com­pany.

Half the page is a photograph of a smiling Helen Hayes in her garden. The accompanying text quotes her (as of last year): "All through the long winter I dream of my garden. On the ftrst warin day of Spring, I dig my fingers

* * * * * The most significant article in

the July issue of Empire State Rt!­portcenters around the new Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, Judith Kaye, but the thrust en­compasses the status and prob­lems of not merely that court, but of the entire court system of the state, of which she also now serves as head. ·

TI1ewriter, Belly Flood, a news service correspondent in Albany, notes that the Chief Judge is a grandmother, a hockey fan, a movie buff and is honest, hard­working, intelligent, persistent, and very thorough.

Her story, as related here, is an impressive one, and the task confronting her, "to modernize the court system so that it can operate efficiently and effectively in hand ling its extensive case load, which it is not doing now," is a daunting one. It would appear that the opportunity to be appointed to the Supreme Court, as report­edlywas the case, must have been a difficult one to turn down.

Limit legislatiye terms, voters advise Faso

The contributor of this Point o[View has represented Bethlehem and some other Albany C~unty towns in the New York State Assembly since 1987. By John J. Faso

Recently, I analyzed the resultsofthe 102ndAssem-bly District1993 Question- Po_ int o+ View naire to which over 3,000 ____ ,;,__') _____ _ individuals responded.

I had attempted to work the questions in as neutral a fushion as possible so as not to bias the results. I hope I succeeded in this effort. •

The 1993 questionnaire was sent-to all households having registered voters in the 102nd District. In Albany County the district includes the towns ofBethlehem, Rensselaerville, Westerlo, and Coeymans. The district also encompasses Schoharie County, most of Greene County, and part of Columbia County.

Overall, the respondents from the towns of Bethlehem, Rensselaerville, Westerlo, and Coeymans mirrored the opinions of the rest of the district. Respondents from the overall district in large numbers favored term limitations for state legislators and supported some form of parental notification being required prior to a minor (17 or younger) obtaining an abortion. There was also general agreement that New York should enact a Universal Health Care law, where all residents

. would receive health care coverage. The respondents also agreed· that motor vehicle laws should be amended to automatically suspend a driver's license pending prosecution for driving while intoxicated. ·

* * * * * Yet, Albany County respondents greatly differed from those

residing in other counties on a number of issues. On the issue of whether state funding of abortions for poor women (currently $18 million) should be eliminated from the state budget, 80 percent of the Albany County respondents were in favor, while a lower 51 percent of the district agreed with this proposition.

Regarding merit selection or election of judges in New York State, I asked whether the Supreme and County Court system should be revised so that these judges 'would be selected by regional judicial appointment committees based on a merit selec­tion. Thirty-five percent of Albany' County respondents agreed, while a slightly lower 29 percent of the district was in favor. Accordingly, a clear majority of district respondents overall opposed merit selection for these judges.

I found this result mildly surprising given the good-govern­ment aura of merit selection. Apparently, people like to keep the elective process eve1i in judicial races where candidates are less known and controversialiss1.1es·are usually avoided .

Concerning education, Albany County respondents again differed. In response to a question concerning creation of a system ofeducation vouchers thatwould allow parents to choose any public or private school they wanted their children to attend, 7 4 percent of the Albany County respondents were opposed compared to 59 percent of the district.

Finally, Albany County respondents disapprove of Governor Cuomo's job performance by a 59 percent to 32 percent margin. Districtwide disapproval for Mr. Cuomo was somewhat higher at 69 percent.

* * * * * You should keep in mind that questionnaires such as this are

not scientific. Respondents were not selected at random and those feeling more intensely about one issue or another are more likely to return the questionnaire.

Questionnaires like these are helpful, however, in gauging the opinions of district voters. While legislative issues are usually more complex than as presented in a simple questionnaire, I often use these responses as a guide in determining how I should cast my vote in the Assembly.

A copy of the printed results was mailed to each person who completed and returned a signed questionnaire.

Any reader desiring a copy may do so by calling my legislative office in Albany at 455-5314.

and those in transit would have been eliminated. The associate editor at Time decided responsi­bly that he did riot want blood on his hands nor run a story that would have been of little conse­quence to the majority of the readership at that time, 29 years ago.

Today, it seems unlikely, be­cause of demands of the infotain-. inent industry, that editors would be dissuaded frorri printing such a story as the one out of under­ground Africa. Further, there's the fact that the public has be­come jaded by numbers in every­day media reports of people who have been killed. The possible, probable death of only 100 per­sons would not likely stop a story.

Your column will, I hope, be cause for others to think and let the media know that we, the public, exp·ect responsible jour­nalismand that the "right to know" refuge of editors has its limits. But, watch for stonewalling by editors. It's a highly developed art.

Volunteers help Scouts in many ways By Erin E. Sullivan

It often happens that someone wants to help out in the Girl Scout program, but feels that they don't fit the description of a "classic" Scout leader.

But Sue Downing, communi­cations and marketing coordina­tor for the Hudson Valley Girl Scout Council, says there is no "typical" Girl Scout volunteer. 'There are a lot of different ways people can help," she said. ''Vol­unteers don't have to be a leader if they're not ready."

The Hudson Valley council's jurisdiction is broken down into neighborhoods, each run by a service team. A chairman leads the team, directing activities and fund-raisers. 'There are volunteer positions open in this area as well," Downing said. 'This provides a

good opportunity for people to get involved if they are uncomfort­able working with children. Vol­unteers in this area will work with adults, helping out with activities like the cookie sale." -

Time commitments for the ·volunteers vary anywhere froin an hour or two a year to three hours a week. This allows volun­teers who don't have much avail­able free time to get involved. "An example of a small time commit­ment would be a professional, like a doctor, coming in to do a presen­tation for the troops once a year," Downing said.

Men can even be Girl Scout volunteers. 'They can help out in any way that a woman volunteer would, but if men wish to be a troop leader, we ask that they are

a co-leader. We feel that it is very important for the girls to have a female role model," Downing said.

All Girl Scout volunteers go through training, the amount depending on the position they will assume. "We have age level training for volunteers who don't have children in the same age group as the kids they will be helpingoutwith,"Downingsaid."

The Girl Scout council also offers other sessions, such as outdoor training.

The council does not aim for volunteers of specific ages, but they do ask for that they be over 18years

In the load-bearing structures course, pupils were given 50 wooden sticks that were six milli­meters square and 15 centime­ters long and had to design a struc­ture to span a certain distance.

"We talked about the different forces on a structure- compres­sion, tension and torque - and how different types of wood and glues" affect the strength of a structure, Fish said.

County employees, who have already seen their ranks dimin­ished overthepastfewyears, "take pride in their work," he said.

"I'm not opposed to the con­cept (of privatization). We'd like to see the airport privatized. But when you start replacing regular workers, all you're doing is add­ing a profit-taker." ·

"The bottom line," Reed said, "is that we have a responsibility as legislators to cut costs since we decided to extend the sales tax."

Reed said when she researched the idea of privatizing some county services, she noticed that several other counties had already em­barked on this course and met with success. Westchester County, for example, saved more than $300,000 during the frrstyear they farmed out their janitorial work

County Legisliitor George Kansas. D-Bethlehem, who broke ranks with the majority and sup­ported Reed's proposal in the personnel committee, is not opti­mistic about the outcome.

. "The problem is that the chair­man of the finance committee, (Majority Leader) Michael · Richardson, is adamantly opposed to it," Kansas said, "and he's likely to speak against it on the floor and lobby against it in caucus. His opinion carries a lot of weight.

It may turn out that it would be cheaper for the county to hire a private company, Kansas said, but then the question remains, "Will · the quality of work be the same?"

"We recently privatized clean­ing services for the Albany County Airport, but when I visited there recently the bathrooms weren't exactly the cleanest I've ever seen them." . County Budget Director Phil

Kids can see and touch wildlife at Troy riverfront event

Environmental festival to focus on education By Erin E. Sullivan

Many of today's environmentalists be­lieve that, rather than fretting about how to put Humpty Dumpty back together again, perhaps it would be better to keep him secure on the wall to begin with.

To achieve this end, mapyare focusing their attention more and more on teach­ing this generation of young people how to care for the earth, hoping to prevent mistakes before they happen.

In 'JCCordance with this theme, the Junior Museum will present its fifth an-. nual Hudson River Environmental Festi­Vql on Saturday, Aug. 7, from noon until5 . p.m. in Troy's Riverfront Park The event is a free family activity with The Junior Museum's live animal displays, kid's art projects and hands-on science activities.

"It is very important for children to be exposed to environmental issues at an early age. The festival teaches kids about the wildlife along the Hudson River and the environment in general. Because it's geared toward kids, the whole day is very activity-based," said Margo Olson, direc­tor of education at The Junior Museum.

., . ·~ \ .

"Starting about 10 years ago, we had always done a festival in Septemberwith a science focus at the museum. We were very limited by having the festival in the museum and September was a very busy month for people."

Activities at this weekend's Hudson River Environmental Festival in Troy's Riverfront Park will feature both education and entertainment for families.

In 1989, the festival committee decided to have the event outside during the sum­mer, using the Hudson River as the focus. 'The festival worked out so nicely and we got such a great response that we decided to make it an annual event with a consis­tent theme," said Olson. -. This year, children will have the

chance to visit the museum's Turtle Touch Tank, which travels fro in festival to festival so kids can have hands-on contact with turtles.

Another feature, Cold-Blooded Crea­tures of Catskill,"will introduce a range of

. reptiles, amphibians and insects. 'This is more of a seeing than a touching display," said Olson. Cold-Blooded Creatures will

put on two general information presenta­tions, one in the early afternoon and an­other toward the end of the day.

The Hudson Sloop Clearwater will also bring an array of reptiles and animals from the Hudson River as well as an aquarium exhibit. In addition, the Clearwater will present a program about fishing on the Hudson.

Many other hands-on activities will run throughout the day, including face paint­ing, mural making, art activities and bubble blowing. Cherry Hill and the RensselaerCounty Arts Society will orga­nize 18th and 19th-century games for kids such as rolling hoops, Jacob's Ladder and battled ore and shuttlecock.

The Shaker Heritage Society will spon­sor a spinning and weaving demonstra­tion and a telescope will be on hand for

Wildlife artist Wayne Trimm and hisfriendBramblewill be at the Junior Museum's environmental festival.

solar observation. The state Thruway Authority will show a model of a canal lock which actually works, according to Olsori.

Kids should be sure to bring their bikes, as they will have the chance to test

their skills and win prizes at a bike rodeo from 1 to 3 p.m.

Live entertainment is scheduled throughout the day. George Ward will sing songs ofNew York State's waterways

D Festival (From Page 21)

and the Hudson River Sloop Singers will perform.

Storytellers Mary Murphy and Alan McClintock will weave their tales, and Price Chopper will sponsor a magic show by Timothy Wenk which stresses the im· portance of recycling.

Approximately 40 environmental, his­toric, ethnic, recreational and cultural or­ganizations will provide information tables and· activities, including· the

· Hudson River Valley Greenway, Albany Amnesty International and the state De­partment of Environmental Conserva­tion. Peace Offerings of Albany will be at the festival to make origami paper cranes with participants.

Kids will be able to meet a variety of famous character strolling through the park, including Captain Hook, the Cow­·ardly Lion, the Wicked Witch of the West

and the Albany-Colonie Yankees' Mascot, Grounder.

Refreshments will be available and booths will be scattered throughout the festival sellingT-shirts, buttons, posters,· dried herbs, environmental products and hand-crafted jewelry. Sweater Venture will sell ethnic crafts froin around the world, and.the Junior Museum will also have a gift shop.

According to Olson; the Hudson River Environmental Festival will give families the opportunity to do something together which is interesting for both the parents and the kids. With the exception of one or two features at a minimal tost, the day's activities are free of charge.

In the event of rain, the festival will take place in the Riverfront Park parking ga­rage.

For information, call the Junior Mu­seum at 235-2120.

D Planetarium (From Page 21)

The planetarium also schedules pri­vate viewings for groups of 20 or more each Tuesday and Thursday and, not sur­prisingly, the program most often re­quested is the one featuring Albany as its "star."

"Lots of people like it because it's close to home," said Cleary. "It is a fantastic show."

The planetarium will premier a new show in November- "Planet Patrol"~ to coincide with the "l Love New York" Winter Festival, Cleary said.

"It's all about a P.l., or"planetary inves­tigator," who searches the skies for an­swers to the mysteries of the solar sys- · tern," said Cleary. "It'sagreatfamily show and a lot offun."

Another featured show is "The Little Stat} That Could," which is popular with families as well as 'l'chool and day-care groups, "particularly children ages 4 to 8,"

' \

said Cleary. In the program, participants get to take a trip with a tiny star as he searches for planets and meets his neigh­bors in the galaxy.

Other shows available for viewing at ·the planetarium include: "TheMessageof . Starlight," which focuses on the tools as­tronomers use to examine starlight; "More Than Meets the Eye," an explana- · tionofwhywhatweseeintheskYwithour eyes, binoculars and telescopes doesn't look like the pictures we see in maga- . zines; "Star of Wonder," a holiday show that discusses the star of Bethlehem; and "BearTalesand OtherGrizzlyStories," an exploration of the night skies .featuring some spring constellations.

The visitors· center also includes a storytelling room and a gift shop which features star-themed items for sale.

Admission is $4 for adults and $2 for seniors and children.

PAGE 26- August 4; 1993

I had just shut off the shower when I heard the last sound you want to hear when you are soaking wet with no body else home- the phone.

I stood there hoping the ringing would go away so I could finish drying off, but it didn't. The phone continued to ring, four, five, six times.

I quickly wrapped the towel around myself and ran to answer.! heard a long pause, a series of electronic clicks and beeps, and a computer voice barked into the phone, "Hello. Please hold for an important call."

WHATI?!! I ran dripping wet to an­. swermyphoneonlytobeputonholdby a -computer?

Mter recovering from the shock and putting my jaw back into its normal position, I slammed the phone down.

I cooled off after a few seconds, but the computer call really made me think, If advertisers want our business, can't they take the time to call in person?

A friend of mine doesn't agree. When I told him about the call, he grinned. "It's annoying to be put on hold like that, isn't it?"

He doesn't agree With my love for call waiting, because he considers it "rude and inconsiderate" to put some­one on hold. But call waiting is one form of telephone holding that I would have to defend.

Although call waiting can tie mis­used, it does allow important calls to get through when a sibling seems to be monopolizing the phone line. In addi­tion, if you really need to get through to someone, you are almost always guar­anteed of a connection.

Without a doubt, I would rather be· put on hold than listen io a busy signal for an hour. . ·

But the person putting a caller on hold has several responsibilities. If you know you are going to be on the phone for a while, tell the caller you will get back to him <!r her. And, on the flip side, if your call waiting is sounding every five minutes, there is always the option of riot answering.

But the most important thing to remember is this: if a call comes in for your parents, tell your friends you will call them back.
