Just 23, Hjeltnes became a C-7 quadriplegic in a diving accident this past March in Cancun, Mexico. After being airlifted to New York City's Mount Sinai Hospital for surgery and having macrophage surgery in Tel Aviv, Israel, Hjeltnes now has full mobility of his arms and some use of his hands. Both surgeries took place within two weeks of the accident, and Hjeltnes was at Mount Sinai for rehabilitation until the end of

that most of us like to avoid. Although there is no guarantee that one can remain cancer­free for a lifetime, there are many preventative steps that can be taken.

Also, the risk of oral cancer increases with age. About 90 percent of all oral cancers are found in people over 45 years of age.

.lUUU\IIihi Taxpayers need to notify office of mortgage changes

Bethlehem school tax bills have been mailed.

If you should have received a bill and did not, call the tax office at town hall. New homeowners and homeowners that have refinanced their homes are requested to inform the tax office of the new information.

The tax office wants to verify that the bill was mailed to the correct bank or mortgage institution and possibly prevent penalties to the homeowner.

With the low interest rates, many have chosen to buy a new home or refinance their mortgages. The town of Bethlehem is often not notified for several months of this change. Albany County is currently behind in processing deed changes.

It is the homeowner's responsibility to notify the tax office of. any changes in their escrow accounts.

For information, call Nancy Mendick, receiver of taxes, 439-4955.

The exact cause of most cancers, including oral cancer, is unknown. What we do know is that smokers are five times more likely to develop oral cancer than nonsmokers are.

Oral cancers are treatable when discovered early. We recommend an oral cancer examination by your dentist at least twice a year. If you have not had a dental cleaning and examination by your dentist, schedule an appointment today.

"Nice candles," 13-year-old Christopher said. I tried to keep my voice even, as I said. words they are still too young to scoff at. "They're a memorial to all the people who died on Sept. 11," I .said. 'They're a tribute to the light that shone in them, and a reminder that we need to let our own lights shine bright."

The horror and sorrow of Sept. 11 remains constant. I was blessed to not have lost anyone

that day, so am one of the millions who can observe the grief not daily, but annually. Last year, I set the whole day aside to mourn, to watch memorials on TV, and let the tears rise and fall throughout the day. This year, that felt inappropriate and intrusive on the people who must face each day without the loved one they lost.

I observed the 8:46 a.m. moment of silence watching live television coverage of ground zero, sighing with Mayor Bloomberg and choking up at the children of the deceased bravely

paying tribute to their lost parents. Watching others grieve reminds me of the people we've lost in our families, and some of my tears were for my brother-in­law, taken too soon from us four years ago, and my father and father-in-law, also passed away before their time.

The thing is, we can still love the people we no longer have, which keeps them with us forever. We can hold them in our hearts and in our prayers, and that's what I did this Sept. 11, adding a special prayer for all the people overwhelmed by grief on the day our world changed forever.

I remember so clearly my own mix of pride and loss on the very first day of school for both of my children. Now that they're in the eighth and sixth grades, the school year requires strength that can sometimes be hard to muster. The routine of early mornings, structured days and homework in the evenings strains us all for a while. Although the homework fits that go hand in hand in elementary school seem to have disappeared, nobody leaps from the dinner table to attend to the work designed to enhance, augment and reinforce the learning process.

importance of doing a good job. In the face of Sept. 11, I add gratitude to the mix. I count my blessings daily, knock wood repeatedly, and don't take for granted that at this moment in time, my family and I are healthy, we like each other, and we are together in one place.

That gratitude and my own peculiar sense of optimism feel like a rare thing in today's world. Our nation has faced dark days in the past, but perhaps because I am now a middle-aged woman with children becoming aware of the world around them, these days feel especially gloomy. I still cling to the belief that the strength of our nation derives from the diversity of our opinions and beliefs, and our ability to express them without recrim­ination.

For parents, Sept. 11 comes at a time of new beginnings, as our children return to school. Walking the dog through our neighborhood the day before Sept. 11 had brought a different kind of tear, as parents and

The Delmar Kiwanis Club will be holding its annual barn sale on Saturday, Sep~. 27, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Geurtze's Barn on Route 9W in Selkirk.

Geurtze's farm is one half mile past the Jericho Drive-In heading south from Delmar. The barn sale will feature toys, household items, sporting goods, collectibles, tools, glassware, records and a host of other items too numerous to mention.

Collection program set

This fund-raiser is one of the ways the Kiwanis Club raises money to fund the numerous activities that it supports throughout the year.

Last year, Kiwanis gave away more than $10,000 to numerous groups and activities, including the Bell of Life for Pediatric Trauma at Albany Medical Center, Kamp Kiwanis, Little League, Walk for Diabetes, Children of Afghanistan and many others.

The Albany County Soil and Water Conservation District and the. county Water Quality Coordinating Committee, in cooperation with state Department of Environmental Conservation, Albany County Farm Bureau, and state Soil and Water Conservation Committee, are directing a Clean Sweep Program for the environmentally safe removal of canceled, unwanted or unusable agricultural or commercial pesticides.

Eligible participants for this program are active or inactive agricultural and horticultural operations, golf courses, municipal 'facilities, schools, colleges or universities within Albany County.

This program is not for home­owners who have pesticides for disposal. Other programs, such as household hazar.dous waste collections; provide pesticide disposal for homeowners.

The DEC recognizes that farmers and other holders of old

pesticides have not had many legal opportunities to safely dispose of these agricultural pesticides.

Depending upon funding availability, there will be no charge and no limit to the quantity of obsolete pesticides that can be returned by eligible participants.

One of the most important tools for job hunting is your resume. Today, the guidelines for developing your resume are ;;,-;;

• changing. In the past, you have probably worked very hard to create the perfect paper document that promotes your work experience, accomplishments and education in a unique and aesthetically

, pleasing way. Although useful, this paper resume might not be enough to entice potential employers to offer you an

1--~- interview. Now you may need to

add an electronic version of your resume to remain competitive in the job market.

What is an electronic resume?

Electronic resumes have similar content and serve the same purpose as the conventional paper resumes, but they are created to be computer-friendly.

f1 Two main types of electronic

1~---.. resumes are the "scannable ~'_-:-~ resume" and the "online resume." ffi A scannable resume is created

when your paper resume is electronically scanned or "read" by an employer's computer, then stored in a database as a computer file. An online resume is one which you create using your word processing software and then e­mail or post via the Internet. To

!Iii develop either type of electronic 1 resume, you will need to fonow

different guidelines. What do you need to know about scannable resumes?

Many large and mid-size companies are using electronic scanners to help them manage the large volume of resumes that they receive daily. This processing system is known as "automated applicant tracking." Once the hard copy of your resume is scanned into a computerized database, the

Point of View employer will then use a software program to further scan your resume for keywords to determine if your qualifications match the employer's job specifications.

If you want your resume to get noticed, there are several points to consider when designing your scannable resume. The main guideline is to keep it simple! Scanners respond best to clear, concise language and simplified layouts. You should avoid fancy fonts and formatting that will not scan properly into the computer system. If not readable by the computer, your resume will be left out in cyberspace. Special effects you may have included on your paper resume such as italics, bold, bullets, decorative typefaces, shading and graphics should be avoided when creating your scannable resume. Using relevant keywords is extremely important These keywords must coincide with the specific job requirements. Use nouns more than verbs; keywords tend to be more of the noun or noun-phrase type. For example, say "project supervisor," instead of "supervised project." To become familiar with good keyword descriptors, check classified ads, review job descriptions, or talk with members of professional associations in your field. The scannable resume offers several advantages over the paper resume.

Once your electronic resume is in a database, it can be retrieved easily via a keyword search. This serves you better than a paper file sitting idly in a filing cabinet, where personnel representatives must wade through stacks of other resumes to finally, hopefully, come across yours. Your scanned resume may also remain in the database for an extended period of time, allowing the potential for consideration of a variety of openings over time.

The scannable resume can prove to be a beneficial resource but should be viewed as a valuable supplement to add to your job hunting tools. The traditional' paper resume will also continue to be used in instances where computer scanning is not being utilized. If you are wondering how to best submit your resume, contact the prospective employer to inquire iftheyuse an electronic applicant tracking system. To be sure you are prepared in your job hunt, it may behoove you to have two versions of your resume­one for human eyes and one for computer eyes. What do you need to know

about online resumes? An online resume allows you

to use the Internet as another resource to gain exposure and assist you in your job hunt. Job seekers can e-mail or post their resumes online via company home pages, resume banks, professional association home pages, classified ads, bulletin board services and news groups. Employers can also post job announcements by using many of the same mediums and can

search resume banks for potential employees.

To develop an online resume, you create your document using word processing software, then save it as a generic "ASCII" or "text only" file. Both are universal text languages, which allow different word processing applications to read and display the same text information. This type of text is simply words; there are no formatting mechanisms such as fonts, margins, graphics or tabs. Each word processing software Oike Microsoft Word) saves files in its own native format. This can make it difficult to know how to send information because you may be unsure which specific program the receiver uses to view documents. The use of universal text enables your online resume to be retrieved and reviewed by prospective employers using e­mail or the Internet, no matter what kind of computer applications they are using.

There are several advantages to e-mailing your resume. First, you can save money on processing and postage required for the conventional mailing of a paperresume.AJso,yourresume file will end up in the same type of computerized database where the scanned paper resumes have been stored. Similar to the scanned resume, this ailows your resume to be accessible anytime the employer searches the resume database using keywords. Additionally, by e-mailing your resume, you can exhibit your understanding of technology and make a positive first impression.

Resume banks are another online option through which job seekers can display their resumes. These services act as an intermediary, matching applicant qualifications with employer needs. Sounds simple enough, yet there are various points to consider before e-mailing or posting your resume with a resume bank. Some of these services are free, while others are fee-based. You will need to invest some time to decide on the best option. Even if the service is free, some resume banks request that you fill out their form, or they furnish you with software to enter your qualifications instead of accepting your free-form version.

You may wish to inquire about the types of employers that search the resume bank. Are they employers that you would like to reach? Find out about the competition within the talent pool of the resume bank. The larger and better qualified the talent pool, the greater the chance that employers will search the resume bank. Ask if the service can provide you with feedback about the number of times your resume was looked at or selected for review.

Another very important consideration when using resume banks is confidentiality. In general, information transmitted by electronic means is similar to sending a postcard. Every word is available for anyone to read. Careful consideration is suggested when disclosing personal and current employ-

I don't know what the answers are, but those who are charged with finding the answers might consider the following. It is a given that a segment of the student body will not ride school buses. If I am correct, students are now charged about 65 cents per day for parking based on a 180 day school year. If parking is so vital to this group, they should, as part of their social and civic education, accept the respon­sibility of payment of a realistic user fee based upon the capital expenditure and consequential costs associated with parking.

The possibility of downsizing some buses might be considered. While I recognize that the same buses are used to transport elementary, middle and high school students, some savings should be possible by using small­er vehicles in some situations.

In view of the very significant tax increases that would result from the $90 million bond issue, it would seem that everything possible should be done to reduce the costs to taxpayers.

I am encouraged by the fact that some school board members feel they "should focus on academics." That, at least, is a sign of responsibility for the education of students and concern for the taxpayer.

Steve N Yelich Delmar

Editor, The Spotlight: In her Point of View column on

Sept. 3, Donna Bell asks whose job it is to worry about vending machines in schools.

As · far as soda vending machines are concerned, the board of education decides whether or not they will be allowed in areas of schools that students have access to: cafeterias, lobbies and hallways.

Fortunately, for the students of Bethlehem Central School

District, the board decided in July 2000 not to sign an exclusive "pouring rights" contract that, as a result, would have allowed soda machines to be placed tliroughout the middle and high school.

The members of that par­ticular board should be recognized for putting the health of our students ahead of profits from vending machine sales.

Some will charge extra for confidential service. They may offer to replace your name with a number, and your current employer's name can also be removed for your protection. The resume bank will then contact y0u when a request is received from an employer. If you are e-mailing your resume to one of these

Gold Coin to build larger restaurant

By KRISTEN OLBY

A Slingerlands Chinese restaurant will soon meet the wrecking ball, as its owners prepare to rebuild a slightly larger restaurant in its place. The owners of the Gold Coin restaurant, on New Scotland Ave., say after 16years in business they need more room to accommodate a growing n~mber of customers.

"When we first started business that kitchen was really, really small," said Conrad Kung, a part owner of the family run restaurant. The staff was operating in such tight quarters, Kung said they were forced to build a small addition solely to grind meat each day.

Since its construction roughly 50 years ago, the building has housed an ice cream shop and an Italian restaurant, while undergoing .a number of small expansions. Kung says it's simply time to start over and rebuild.

'The existing building has 48 seats for patrons, we prepared a bigger building which will be devoted to a bigger kitchen and dining room," said John Allen, an attorney representing Kung.

The zoning board of appeals unanimously granted the variance necessary to alter the size of the building ·at its Sept. 3 meeting.

Kung expects the restaurant will close for about four months sometime in the next year to allow deJnoliti<m and construction to be

The fund began in 1942 with a Christmas pagei:mt, and through the pageant ended in 1967, Festival Fund activities continue today. Its current mission is "to quietly help children, families and the elderly Jiving in the Bethlehem community without a Jot of red tape and acting anonymously through local schools and community organizations. ·

The fund helps those whose needs might otherwise remain unmet for things like cost of a field trip, eyeglasses or handicap equipment. Bethlehem Networks also thanks the Bethlehem Festival Fund for the generous assistance it provided us this summer on behalf of some deserving, hard working students.

Those who wish to contribute to Bethlehem Festival Fund can do so through United Way/SEFA pledges (code 50-303) or directly at P.O Box 341, Delmar 12054.

Lady Eagles can't stop Niskayuna's offense By ROB JONAS

If Niskayuna is one of Bethle­hem's challengers for the Section II, Class AA girls soccer title this year, the Lady Eagles will have to shore up their defense before

they meet the Silver Warriors again.

The teams clashed twice last week, with Niskayuna taking both games. The Silver Warriors edged Bethlehem 2-1 last Wed­nesday in a Suburban Council

contest and then defeated the Lady Eagles 3-2 in last Sunday's championship game at the Oneonta Tournament.

"We have only one returning starting defender, so we're trying to sort things out," Bethlehem coach Tom Rogan said. "It will take some time."

Defense isn't the only part of the team that was hit hard by graduation. The Lady Eagles lost 13 players from last year·s Sectional championship team, including such key offensive players as Emily Petraglia and Kate Metevia, as well as starting goaltender Megan Volo.

"We've lost a lot," Rogan said.

"It'll take some time to get everyone rolling again. I'm sure we'll get better in time for Sectionals."

An encouraging sign for Beth­lehem (1-1 league, 2-3 overall) was its 1-0 league win against Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake last Friday. Cate Quinlan - one of several newcomers in the starting lineup- scored the lone goal for the Lady Eagles off an assist from veteran forward Vanessa Patry.

'The win against Burnt Hills was a big win- a good win to have in our pockets," Rogan said. "It's always tough to get that first win in the league."

Bethlehem forged a 1-1 halftime tie in last Sunday's championship game before being outscored 2-1 in the second half by Niskayuna. Patry and Quinlan each scored goals for Bethlehem. Brooke Knowlton, Jen Lawrence and Allie Sylvetsky tallied for the Silver Warriors.

Patry had a big game for the Lady Eagles in last Saturday's 6-0 victory over Westhill of Syracuse in the opening round of the Qneonta Tournament. The junior had four goals and added an assist to pace the attack. Kristen White tallied twice, while Katie Fage, MacKenzie Glannon and Ash­ley Spath contributed assists.

The Lady Eagles wrapped up a tough stretch of four games in four days Monday night by hosting Guilderland in .a Sub­urban Council contest. The Lady Dutch entered the game having scored 11 goals in their last three games, including a 4-2 victory over Shenendehowa last Wed­nesday.

Pee wee Eagles remain unbeaten

Vince Planz's touchdown catch and run in the last minute of the fourth quarter propelled the Bethlehem Pop Warner pee wee division team to a 12-7 victory over Rensselaer last weekend.

Planz caught a pass from quar­terback Brett Bukowski and ran the rest of the way for a 78-yard -E touchdown with 20 seconds left to keep the Junior Eagles unbeaten after two games.

Bethlehem took a 6-0 lead when running back Evan Bullis threw a touchdown pass to Planz on a flea flicker. The junior Eagles maintained the lead until Rens­selaer scored in the third quarter and added a one-point conversion.

The pee wee team returns to action Sunday with a game against South Colonie at Cook Park.

The junior midget Eagles opened their season Sept 6 with a 28-15 loss to the Troy Patriots. Quarterback Casey O'Conner and running back Sean Murphy had touchdown runs for Bethle­hem.

Youth hoop program schedules tryouts

The Bethlehem Little Lady Eagles girls basketball program is holding tryouts for its travel teams Sept. 23, 26 and 30 at Bethlehem Central Middle School.

Tryout sessions for the fifth­and sixth-grade teams take place from 6 to 7:30p.m. each day, and sessions for the seventh- and eighth-grade teams are held from 7:30 to 9 p.m.

Capital District duo leads Albany running attack By ROB JONAS ------

Long before they shared the same backfield, University at Albany running backs Gary Jones and Jon George knew about each other.

"I remember checking the newspapers and seeing how many yards and how many touchdowns he had," said George, a Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake High School graduate. "Gary was always up there."

Duquesne in the ECAC Bowl. Along the way, the duo combined to gain more than 2,100 yards, with Jones accruing 1,509 yards and 23 touchdowns.

Though they received the glory, Jones and George said that they wouldn't have gotten anywhere without the help of their offensive line.

"If you ask anybody on the team, they'll tell you that the offensive lineh the strongest part of the team," Jones said.

· UA!bany coach Bob Ford said another secret to the success of Jones and George is that they are willing to share the running duties.

Not much has changed in the five years since George and Jones were high school seniors. Jones - a Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk High School graduate - broke several UAlbany single-season records last year, while George had a solid junior season in his own right with more than 600 rushing yards.

"I personally think that it's neat that me and Jon are in the same backfield because in our senior year of high school, we were neck and neck" for the Section II rushing lead, Jones said.

The duo combined lor225 yards in a 28-10 win against Central Connecticut last Saturday. Rob Jonas

"The wonderful thing about them is they're totally unselfish kids. You'd think that playing such a high-profile position, they'd have inflated egos, but they don't," Ford said.

"I thiilk we have mutual respect for each other," Jones said. "We're just good working together."

They didn't start their col-. to Hudson Valley Community to UA!bany three years ago. legiate careers sharing the same College for two years before Meanwhile, George gave NCAA backfield. Jones went from RCS moving across the Hudson River Division III school Hartwick a

Hjeltnes has always been. physically acti'<e, having gone from high school into the Army.

"I went into ;the military to figure out what I should do," Hjeltnes said, "I 1was stationed in Fairbanks, Alaska, where I was part of infantry reconnaissance."

The former football and basketball player grinned. "!twas a little more outdoorsy than I would have liked," he said.

After a two-year stint, he returned home and enrolled at the Sage Colleges, where he was studying graphic design.

"I loved working with my hands," Hjeltnes said. "I did a lot of construction work, and not

. being able to do that is another blow. I was more on the hammer end, and now I'll be more on the computer end."

Hjeltnes is currently on medical leave from Sage, and is talking .with them about possibly returning in January.

"The adjustment's not just physical," Hjeltnes said. "Mentally, I think sometimes about things I used to do."

Hjeltnes said that his girlfriend, J en Luck, and friends like Geoff Linstruth, John McGinnis and Aaron Smith have been regular visitors, always ready to offer :support. His parents, brother and 25-year-old sister Kristin have also been there for him.

It's clear that her son is Deb Hjeltnes' top priority, as she brings out a binder full of doctor's cards; research papers and magazines; and information about the special needs fund that is helping Erik to live independently.

Ragozzino was the first to receive the news'that Erik had been injured in Cancun. He called Deb Hjeltnes at work. and she called Erik's father, Knut, a coach at the United States Military Academy at West Point. They immediately set to work getting Erik out of Mexico, overcoming obstacles like Etik's missing

Gray Davis' .office and we got one."

While the hunt for a birth certificate was taking place, Knut Hjeltnes was getting a hospital to accept Erik. Knut Hjeltnes' brother Nils is a physiatrist in Nor way who had worked at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. Through his brother, Knut Hjeltnes was able to find a neurosurgeon to work with his son.

The Hjeltnes' met.their son at Mount Sinai a day after he was injured, and Dr. Arthur Jenkins Ill operated to replace his broken vertebra. The information that only about 8 percent of patients recover from the first surgery "devastated us," Deb Hjeltnes said. Stuck in Deb Hjeltnes' memory, though, was a program she'd seen about Christopher Reeve, the actor who was paralyzed in a horseback-riding accident.

While the couple was in New York, Laureen Copeland, who worked with Deb Hjeltnes at ·Albany Molecular Research, was online gathering as much information about paralysis as she could. Through the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation, Copeland read about Dr. Valentin Fulga, who performed macrophage surgery for Proneuron in Israel. When Deb Hjeltnes asked Dr. Jenkins about the procedure, he oversaw Erik's transfer to Israel for the macrophage surgery that's not yet approved in the United States.

"Having the surgery was ultimately my decision," Erik Hjeltnes said. "Without it, I only had a 2 to 3 percent chance of recovery. Any chance better than that was good."

Professor Michal Schwarz of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, pioneered the surgery that Proneuron Biotechnologies performs. In the

first 12 people to have it.

He, as well as his friends and family, knows that success is not. guaranteed and that it cannot be expected for another six months to two years. Deb Hjeltnes is currently on leave from her job, and when she's not helping care for Erik, she is advocating on his behalf. ·

"If you don't have resources or you don't know how to go after them, I don't know how you'd cope with this," Deb Hjeltnes said. "When you think about how to solve a problem, you can sit down and cry, or you can work around it and figure out a way to solve it."

Deb Hjeltnes is currently planning the second fund-raiser to benefit the Erik L. Hjeltnes Special Needs Fund, following the success of the first one in Scotia this past summer. The fund-raiser will be held on Sept. 25 at Mallozzi's Restaurant at 1930 Curry Road in Rotterdam.

It's clear talking to people who know Erik that they have faith in him. Bruce Svare, a coach in the Bethlehem schools, coached Erik when he played basketball with the Bethlehem Basketball Club and the Amateur Athletic Union.

"Erik was a friend of my son Mark," Svare said. "He was a terrific kid who played hard and was never any trouble. He's been dealt a severe blow, and I have a lot of admiration for him. He's got a fabulous attitude. It's remarkable, given the long road he has ahead of him."

Hjeltnes' girlfriend, Jen Luck, described him as a fighter. "Erik's always been extremely active and a hard worker," said Luck. "He's always helping people out. The accident limits what he can do, but he tries his best to .be as independent as he can."

At the end of the day, both Luck and Deb Hjeltnes agree that Erik is the same person they've always loved.

~=-:·-By DEVTOBIN

e all remember 9/11 in ou·r own ways -where we were when we first heard, the awful sight of the towers burning then falling, the

mental blur of those first few terrible days.

For me and scores of others, the healing/recqvery process was helped along by hearing Tommy Makem sing classic American folk songs like 'This Land Is Your Land" at the 2001 version of the Irish 2000 Festival at the Altamont fairgrounds.

A mere week and a half after the terror attacks had devastated New York City, Makem put aside his repertoire of Irish and Irish-American songs- even his own classic "Four Green Fields"­to pay

•• ·:.!)>

tribute to his anguished, adopted country. There was not a dry eye among the hundreds in the big te:1t.

Makem returns this year tc lhE seventh annual festival on Saturd<y, Sept. 20, after a year off, and "1.1 <gain· be the highlight of the tradition~! nusic tent, playing from 4:50 to 5:50 p m.

"We've had a lot of request, for Tommy; people really expect hin to be there," said festival organizer Mat: Nelligan. "For a guy's who's been around so long, he's still a top-nJtch performer."·

Makem's three sons, Shane, Ccnnor and Rory- The Makem Brother,, will also be on the traditional stage, frcm 2:30 to 3:15p.m.

After the Albany St. Patrick1s Day parade, the festival is the largest Irish­American event in the Capital D:stict. Nelligan noted that 17,000 came to the festival last year and that attendance has grown every year.

As before, the festinl ·.vill have four stages­Traditional, Contem~ora-y and Local/Regional under

· large tents and the a! fresco Grove Stage, which "<ill host Capital District favorites Hair of the Dog from 6:30 to 8:30p.m. ·

~~~

Besides bringing '":'ommy Makem back, the f<estival will also have Black 4 7 on . stage after a four-yeu

absence. The New York City-based

Celtic rockers "have a big fan base in the area," Nelligan noted.

New this year will be Irish music veteran Paul Brady, one of the founding members of the seminal Planxty Band, who has been more active as a songwriter than a performer for many years ..

"Paul's never been in this-area,"· he said. ''We're happy to have him; he's a great performer."

Also new to the festival this year are The Cottars, a traditional quartet from Cape Breton Island, and the Tannahill Weavers, a top Scottish traditional band.

Returning favorites include Seven Nations, Danu, The Prodigals, The McKrells, The Young Dubliners, Seamus Kennedy, The Indulgers, The Glengarry Bhoys, and many more.

Pipe bands and dancers from local Irish schools will also be performing at various sites throughout the day.

For the young ones, there will again be ·a family fun area, with rides, games and special treats.

The festival remains a great value, "with 25 bands for $10," Nelligan said. "For a family of four with two kids underlO, we offer a whole day of entertainment for $20; there's no better

value than that" Tickets for the festival are $15 at the

gate and $10 in advance. Children under 10 are admitted free. Advance tickets are available to the Crossgates mall customer service area, Celtic Treasures in Saratoga Springs, Gilhooley Design in Watervliet, Tipperary Trading Co. in Brunswick, and the Ginger Man, Washington Tavern, McGeary's and the Irish­American Center, all in Albany.·

There will also be a preview show, featuring Seamus Kennedy, The Indulgers and The Glengarry Bhoys, at McGeary's, 4 Clinton Square, Albany.

. Tickets are $5 at the door. For information on the Irish 2000

According to Bosch's Padgett, u the 1960's cars use generators which produced Direct Current (DC), and were generally ine dent. Since that tim virtually all cars ha been equipped with alternators which, a their name suggest produce Alternatin

. Current (AC), and far more efficient th generators. So alter nators include an electronic compone called a rectifier to change theAC outp to DC.

Alternators do a terrific job of produ

. ing electricity but, r generators, require device called a volt regulator to control their output. The voltage regulator operates much like faucet, electrically opening and closin as needed. Some voltage regulators a a separate compone (external), while 1

others are built into the alternator (an integral regulator). "Voltage regulators monitor the needs ol the car's electrical system, and also th level of charge in th battery, and adjust alternator's output 1

accordingly," explai1 Padgett.

Take that extra second to prevent an accident A n issue that's been

- with us almost as long as the automo­bile is whether or not older drivers should be tested more frequently for re­issue of their licenses. If a person's vision, reaction time and dexterity continue to be up to stan­dard, then that driver should be safe, right?

Not necessarily, says the Car Care Council, who con­tends that any driver, regardless of age, is at risk if the vehicle is not sufficiently re­sponsive and me­chanically sound. The theory that the ve­hicle is an extension of the driver is a valid one, says the Council. The brakes {unction only when the driver engages them. A driver with good vision can see sur­rounding danger and respond only if lights, windshield wipers, brakes and steering all are up to par.

"It's impossible to evaluate the respon­siveness of all of the nation's cars," says Rich White, spokes­person for the Coun­cil. "However, through annual ve­hicle check lanes we know that almost nine out of 10 cars are in need of maintenance. That speaks volumes about safety when you consider that these check lanes focus on safety items such as brake fluid, tire pres­sure, and turn sig­nals."

Coupling deficient cars with the inherent dangers associated with speed com: pounds the safety issue. A driver's average reaction time, according to the National Safety Coun­cil, is_ of a second. At 60 miles an hour, for

example, you'll travel 66 feet (a third the length of a football field) in _ of a second.

That means you'll need between 162 and 202 feet to bring your car to a complete stop. "Those figures get most people's attention," says White, who is an advocate of the three­second rule.

Use the "three second " rule to determine if you're giving yourself enough space be­tween your car and the vehicle ahead. As the vehicle in front of you reaches a station­ary mark, count "one thousand and one-one thousand, two-one thousand, three-one thousand". If you arrive at that mark in three seconds or less, you're too close. Back off.

Under ideal condi­tions, adding a little lag time behind the vehicle ahead of you could make a big difference in avoiding a collision. This is assuming that your reaction time is nor­mal, and your tires, braking system and other safety related components are in optimum condition.

The Council sug­gests that, in addition to paying special attention to safety functions of the vehicle and observing the three second rule, older drivers or those with impaired vision or reaction time should pay special attention to their vehicles' safe operat­ing condition and

investigate enhance­ments designed to help them drive more safely.
