Compromise needed in NS zoning dispute ByDevTobin

Last week's death of New Scot­land Councilman Richard Decker may complicate the almost year­long process of amending the town's zoning law to reflect its recent master plan update.

At a special town board meet­ing on May 12, Decker was one of three board members, along with Victoria Ramundo and Edward Donohue, to support three changes to the planning board's recommendations.

Councilman Scott Houghtaling voted against the changes, and Supervisor Herb Reilly, who did not attend the meeting because of. a conflict with his daughter's. col­lege graduation out of town, also opposes the changes.

Three votes are needed to approveanewzoninglaw,sosome compromise is necessary, given the apparent 2-2 deadlock, for the board to finally resolve the zoning revision matter.

The key is that we all have to work together to avoid a stalemate.

Edward Donohue

The planning board had re­jected the major, and most contro­versial, part of an ad hoc committee's report on amending the zoning law, i.e., that the RA zone that takes up most of the town be changed from one-acre minimum lot sizes to two-acre density.

The town board's three changes are to raise from half-acre to three­quarter-acre the minimum lot size in the RA zone for lots with water and sewer; to reduce the medium density residential zone in the

northeast quadrant (including part of the Tall Timbers development) by about a third; and to mandate one-acre minimums for residen­tial lots in commercial or indus­trial zones.

One immediate impact of Decker's passing is that the public hearing on the new zoning law scheduled for May 31 has been cancelled, at the request of Ra­mundo, and with the agreement of the other three board members.

The planning board meets tomorrow (Thursday) at 6 p.m. at town hall to discuss, and possibly report on, the town's board three changes.

The town board will discuss when to reschedule the public hearing a tits meeting on Monday, June 12.

"We need to move forward," Donohue commented. "I'd hate to see things drag on any more."

Donohue had proposed the three changes as a compromise between the ad hoc committee's document and the planning board report

"I'm not married to the propos­als I made. The key is that we all have to work together to avoid a stalemate," Donohue said.

In a related matter, the all­Democratic town board has the power to appoint a replacement to serve out the remainder of Decker's term, and town Demo­cratic committee leaders, although "still a little in shock," will meet this weekend "to try to come up with a name to recommend to the town board," said town Demo­cratic chairman Michael Bums.

Reilly said that the board, "out of respect" for Decker, "shouldn't make any immediate decisions to try to fill the position."

Odell tapped for planning board seat By Mel Hyman

The Bethlehem Town Board tonight is expected to appoint Daniel Odell of Elsmere to the town planning board.

Odell, 43, will replace former board member Gary Swan, who resigned recently because he's relocating to Schoharie County.

"I'm looking forward to it," Odell said. 'This is a really exciting time to be involved. The decisions made now should have long-term rami­fications for the town."

The planning issues Odell sees as crucial over the months to come include the proposed Southgate Commons shopping center in Glenmont, the proposed Price

Chopper Community Center in Slingerlands and the proposed Marie Rose Manor senior hous­ing development in North Bethle­hem.

A resident of Sunset Drive, Odell has lived in the town since 1983. He worksforthe state Office of Mental Health as a .program specialist. His 20 years in state government included a stint with the state attorney general's office, where he worked as a special in­vestigator for nursing homes.

Prior to moving to Bethlehem, he lived in East Greenbush, where he served on the town's conserva· tion advisory council. He is a member of the board of directors of Child's Nursing Home in AI-

bany and a board member of the Canterbury Foundation, which supports services for the elderly.

"I see the planning board's role as trying to balance the compet­ing interests that come from the need to develop the commercial sector of the town with the desire of many residents to maintain the town's character."

Odell said he generally agrees with the philosophy laid out by planning board chairman Doug. Hasbrouck earlier this year. Hasbrouck said he believes it is important to look at the big pic­ture when considering planning issues in the town and not to focus on the needs of just one neighbor­hood or street.

· BC board to receive long-range plan report ByDevTobin

With school winding down and the budget behind them, most school boards find June to be a time of short agendas -mostly dot­ting the i's and crossing the t's for the coming. school year.

But for the Bethlehem Central school board, this June will be a time to plan for the next decade, as the district's long-range planing process moves from investigating options to rec­ommending action.

The board will receive a formal report from the long-range plan­ning committee, composed of staff and community members who have been sifting through options formostofthis year, at its meeting on Wednesday, June 7.

The report will present options in the three main areas of the district's long-range needs -middle school and high school facilities, technology and mainte­nance.

The board will then hold a work session on the report on Wednes­day, June 14, at 7p.m.; discuss the report at its regular meeting on Wednesday, June 21; and proba­bly act on a final recommendation at its Wednesday, July 5, meeting, according to Superintendent Leslie Loomis.

At the June 7 meeting, the ceT.m!ttee will present "the full r&nge of options, with advantages and disadvantages, so the board can make decisions" by the July meeting, Loomis said.

Aside from options on renova­tion and/or new construction at the middle school and high school, the report will also identify the most essential long-term mainte­nance need&, and the next steps to

. improve instructional technology.

On May 3, voters approved the first major step in improving tech­nology-an $850,000 proposition to buy computers and peripherals at every level of the district

Regarding facilities, Loomis noted that the capacity situation at the middle school is "compelling -_the level of room-sharing now is heavy, bordering on extreme, and class sizes are increasing."

At the high school, the critical time is somewhat further away, Loomis noted, but enrollment there is expected to increase by 50 percent in the next 10 years.

Given that new construction is expensive, Loomis said the committee's approach in prepar­ing options has been ''very conser­vative- the whole premise is not to spend taxpayers' dollars until it's absolutely necessary."

Although the final decision is up to the board, Loomis said that he was leaning toward recom­mending that a capital construc­tion proposition be put before the voters this fall.

It's his experience working in government, Young said, that makes him more qualified than Kansas .

Specialmeeting to focus on town highway projects

An informational meeting of the Bethlehem Town Board is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 30, in the Bethlehem Ambulance Building on Route 9W in Selkirk.

The purpose of the meeting is provide the board and the public with updates on road projects currently under way in the south­ern end of town.

Town engineer Michael Cirillo and town highway superinten­dent Gregg Sagendorph will describe the work being planned for the intersection of Beaver Dam Road and Route 396 (Maple Avenue).

"We're realigning the intersection and widening the road," Sagendorph said. Utility poles near the intersection will be moved in order to improve sight pist:ance.s.

· The project will be started and completed this year "provided that we can acquire the necessary property," Sagendorph said, which is not expected to be a problem.

"Right now we're in the middle of a major reconstruction of Pictuay Road. ('m South Bethlehem) where we're eliminating a 90 degree bend in the road," he said. "We're actually moving a mountain to be perfectly frank. We're making a 20-foot cut in a hill so that we can realign the road."

Parks and Recreation Commissioner David Austin will make a brief presentation on the bike path project in the works for the Elm Avenue area as well as the work being done to construct a public boat launch near the Hudson Hudson Park off Route 144.

Exit poll excellence At the recent Bethlehem • •

The students, who are members of the high school Participation in Government class, aimed at inter­viewing every fifth voter. What better way to give students on-the-job training than to let them participate in a real-life situation with relevance to their academic studies? In all, 673 voters were interviewed as they left the polling place.

All of the statistics generated by the exit poll should be of value to the school district's administration. Some are rather surprising. For instance, parents of Bethlehem. Central pupils represent only about one quarter of the electorate. Even so, they cast a noteworthy 56 percent of the votes. Bethlehem parents are concerned parents. The largest turnout in 26 years points to a concern~d and involved electorate, too.

Interestingly, 70 percent of the voters questioned stated that they considered The Spotlight to be their most impor­tant source of information on the issues. School superin­tendent Leslie Loomis paid this paper a compliment when he said thatthe poll confirmed his feeling that The Spotlight was influential in the town.

During the weeks preceding the vote, The Spotlight had published interviews with the prospective members of the school and library boards and articles on various aspects of the school and library budgets and on the propositions on the ballot. This detailed presentation of information paid off handsomely-voters made good use of The Spot­light material to help them determine how they would vote.

Lest we forget On Monday, May 29, we will celebrate Memorial Day

in a variety of ways. School kids and others of us fortu­nate to have the day off will sing paeans. Shoppers will patronize Memorial Day sales. All over town there will be parades, picnics, ball games, and many gardens planted.

Decorating the graves of war dead began just after the Civil War. Southern women are credited with placing flowers and flags on the graves of both Confederate and Union soldiers. The custom gained momentum and devel­oped into our annual day of remembrance.

Memorial Day is not a time when war is glorified. It is a time to commemorate both those· who died in defense of our country and relatives and friends.

Memorial Day is also a good time to share our memories of the departed with our children and friends. If we don't pass along these memories, the lives of our loved ones will be lost forever. Let's remember and share our memories.

Help for Heartland On April 19, one or more irrational people set off the

bomb in OklahomaCitythatwrecked the Alfred P. Murrah federal office building. In the explosion, 167 children and adults were killed and scores of others injured.

St. Anthony's Hospital is located two blocks from the bomb site. All during the day of the blast, and since, victims and relief workers have been treated at St. Anthony's.

Here in Albany County, Sharon Boehlke of New Scot­land, Bryan Jackson, president of Guilderland FM station WCDA, and Child's Hospital where Boehlke works, also responded to the need for help in Oklahoma City. They launched a fund-raising campaign to help St. Anthony's with its extraordinary expenses. To date, contributions of $70,000 have been made to the disaster fund.

Response to St. Anthony's need for funds has been heartwarming and gratifying. Patrons of the Window Box Cafe in Stonewell Plaza in New Scotland donated more than $300. In Slingerlands, $617 was raised at the fire department's annual awards banquet.In Latham, hairstylists donated services and raised almost $3,000.

We are accustomed now to see rows of thousands of crosses and Stars of David populating verdant fields in cemeteries around the world where Americans fought and died.

But the sheer numbers some-

The first boy was attempting to cross the line in order to take a seat at a table. The older couple inforrned him. that there was a line. They must have thought the boy was attempting to line crash, or budge. The boy then inforrned them of his true intentions.

The middle-aged man, or secu­rity guard, approached the boy and accused him of budging. The boy explained again that he was only attempting to cross the line in order to get to a table. The guard then told the boy that the proper procedure to get the table would be to go around the line.

The boy responded sarcasti­cally. The security guard then pushed the boy and .the boy swore and left the building.

The security guard was return­ing to his post, when boy number two, who was sitting at the table to which boy number one wanted to go, said, "Kids today. What's the world coming to?" A verbal ex­change followed between the second boy and the security guard, which ended with the guard's ordering the boy to get out of Main Square.

The second boy was rude to the guard who then threw the boy against a glass window and once into the La Stella Fresh Pasta Shop sign, knocking it over. The boy

When the police arrived in two cars, several kids tried to explain what happened, but the police interviewed the owner of the car. Some "kids" might have been interviewed later but not when I was present. The second boy was taken presumably to the police station in one car. I left after the second boy was taken away.

The incident showed adults' preconceived ideas and generali­zations about youth. The police il­lustrated their anti-youth policies by taking only the accounts of adults. The letter exemplifies age prejudice. The author claims to be an employee of the middle school.

Are we to drink Hudson River water? Editor, The Spotlight

Last Saturday, I went on Clearwater's "Water Cade" to the site of Bethlehem's new water supply. I saw that the site is 20 feet awayfrom the Hudson river, along its banks. The visit to the site helped me understand the state­ment by the State Health Depart­ment that "the infiltration gallery will be supplied primarily by wa­ter from the Hudson River. • {Let­ter is in the Clearwater file at the Bethlehem Public Library.)

From a reading of the previous accounts by the town board, I had imagined that the aquifer or under­ground waterway was a separate source of water, perhaps sealed from contamination by the Hudson River by an impervious layer. It seems that this is clearly not the case. For the town board to assert that the new water sys­tem will not involve water from the Hudson River is disingenu­ous.

Review process fails for Fisher Hollow Editor, The Spotlight:

Thank you for publishing my letter relative to the Fisher Hol­low subdivision in the May17 is- . sue of The Spotlight. Unfortu-; nately, the title which you chose to give to my letter (whichwas not · the title I submitted with the letter - see the underlined title above) completely misses the point of my letter.

As your title indicated, I did statethattheresidentsofCaldwell Boulevard and Daniel Street are resigned to the Fisher Hollow development.

However, the point of my letter was that the planning board re­view process for this subdivision

totally failed to recognize the le­gitimate concerns of those resi­dents relative to the proposed street layout by failing to adopt the street layout which, accord­ing to thetrafficimpactstudy, was the layout which had the least impact on the existing Caldwell Boulevard and Daniel Street and also produced the best overall levels of service.

The residents are not resigned to the planning board's failure in this regard, and will continue to pursue any and all avenues avail­able to them to have the board reconsider this aspect of its pre­liminary plat approval decision.

Some showed compassion Editor, The Spotlight:

. I am writing this letter to thank faces without names who showed compassion on Friday, May 19. I returned from work, entered my home, and as usual I was greeted by my dogs, Buster and Bandit. But this day was different. My dog Bandit, only a year old, got out of the house and away from me. We are very cautious of the traffic on Cherry Avenue and always keep both dogs on leashes.

But Bandit' got away. He ran across Cherry Avenue. I tried to get him back safely, butaredmid­sized car, going too fast, hit him . I watched Bandit fly across the road 40 feet. The driver never even applied the brakes or stopped. Bandit died en route to the veterinarian's.

Cherry Avenue is a residential street with a speed limit of 30 m.p.h. and many children and pets who could be hurt by speeding drivers.

I am angry and hurt by the inconsiderate driver who fatally injured my dog and sped away. I am grateful to those compassion­ate neighbors who tried to assist me.

j " ' Work together for solution Questions raised on school assignments Editor, The Spotlight:

The reports of the consultants prove that the Town of Beth­lehem's new water supply, after treatment, will be of extremely poor quality. It will be by far the worst water supply of 119 ground water supplies surveyed by EPA in the Northeast

The consultants' data also prove beyond any scientific doubt that the water picks up significant con· lamination as the result of leach· ing sewage sludge lying on the bottom of the Hudson River.

There was also a very signifi­cant error made during the two­month pump test that should have been avoided by making a proper flow net analysis. During the test a contractor was dewatering an adjacent section of trench.

This resulted in drawing better quality water on the land side toward the well. However, three months later when there was no dewatering operation the levels of contaminants more than doubled. The whole series of tests made during the two months of testing should be thrown out.

Residents will also have to pay at least $28 million over a 30-year period for a water supply that will fail because of very poor design. In order to obtain six million gal­lons of water per day, the well was designed to draw in water over the entire depth of the aquifer.

As a res\llt, shadow aquifer water containing dissolved oxy­gen will be drawn down into the deeper aquifer water containing soluble ferrous iron. A ferric iron precipitate will occur, clogging up the aquifer and shutting_ down the well in less than two years.

The State of New York's posi­tion is very clear. The water can be treated to.meet minimum stan· dards and the cost is up to the town. I can assure residents that there will be large additional sums of money needed to meet mini­mum existing standards and new standards such as for haloacetic acids, that will be enacted by EPA

When the well fails, it is the town's problem and the state will require that we purchase water

There is only one way to cut our large losses. The town should enter a long term contract with Albany to supply all of our resi­dentialwaterneeds.

The town should immedi­ately hire outside consultants to make the study.

I plead with Supervisor Sheila Fuller and the town board to take action to remove the water supply as a political issue. Let's work together to heal the sickness that is starting to destroy this commu­nity.

Glenmont teacher releases folk CD By Mel Hyman

Thirty-nine-year-old Peter Rawitsch has been honing his muscial talents for as long as he can remember.

Now the Glenmont Elementary School teacher is beginning to reap the benefits.

Rawitsch, who has been teach­ing first-grade in Bethlehem for the past 14 years, has a CD release party coming up on Sunday,June 11, from .2 to 5 p.m at Mother Earth's Cafe in Albany.

STOP THE NYNEX DEAL! •···••···•·····················································••·•··•···············································

Right now, NYNEX is trying to cut a deal that would allow the local telephone monopoly to earn unlimited profits while charging some

of the highest local telephone rates in the country!

Meanwhile,., NYNEX service complaints are up 10 percent.

That's NOT right! The NYNEX plan will halt local telephone competition before it can develop. Consumers know that

competition brings lower prices and better service.

That's why thousands of customers have flooded the Public Service Commission with letters and phone calls urging

Commissioners to REJECT THE NYNEX DEAL!

Local telephone competition, that's the best deal for New Yorkers.

If you feel the same way, call the New York PSC at 1-800-342-3377.

Filmmaker to- present p-rogram May 31 THE SPOTLIGHT

thfJU\tHG 3ffi Extension to teach backyard composting

AlbanyfilmmakerSteveSwartz will visit the library to discuss "Independent Filmmaking: Mak­ing, Marketing and Distributing Your Own Film" on Wednesday, May 31, at7 p.m.

Call the library at 439-9314 for reservations.

The program is not just for filmmakers - anyone who loves film and/ or pop culture will enjoy this unique offering.

Swartz will talk about how to get your own film made and dis­tributed and lead a lively discus­sion about both the independent and mainstream movie scenes. He will show a portion of his feature film "Never Leave Nevada."

"Lots of people love film, but there's not much of a chance to talk about it," Swartz said. "I'd like to see a film discussion group, just. like for books."

The program is free and open to the public.·

Swartz, an Albany area native, holds an master's in film produc-

.... . . •

tion from the University ofTexas. He has worked in film and televi­sion for 20 years and is a former film school instructor.

He made "Never Leave . Ne­vada," an adult comedy, in the late 1980s. The film, which was shot in Texas and Nevada and took 2 1/2 years to make, premiered in 1990 in Ut:l!h at the Sundance Film Festival, Robert Redford's show­case for independent filmmakers. "Never Leave Nevada" opened in -New York, Los Angeles, and Can­nes in 1991.

Swartz said, "'The film is no­table because most of today's hottest, young independent filmmakers worked on it" These include Rick Linklatter, who di­rected "Slacker" and "Dazed and Confused," two well-received films about the Austin youth scene, and this year's hit "Before Sunrise."

Ethan Hawke, wno was seen in "Dead Poets Society" and stars in"Before Sunrise," also appeared in the film, as did 24-year-old Chi­cano filmmaker Robert Rodriguez, who went.on to write, direct and produce "EI Mariachi."

The score of "Never Leave Nevada" is by the Grammy-win­ning Austin-based country band Asleep at the Wheel.

_There are displays galore at the

library this month. Local artists Susan Wooster and Colleen Skiff Kriss share the foyer gallery.

Kriss' exhibit, "Angels and Other Beings," consists of eleven alkyds, a fast-drying oil that give the paintings the look of pastels.

Kriss, a teacher and art thera­pist, is a Delmar resident Woos­ter, who teaches art at Bethlehem Central Middle School, is exhibit­ing 15 watercolors of flora and nature scenes.

The library is also hosting an exhibitcelebratingNewYorkState Archaeology Week by Floyd Brewer. The display features arti­facts uncovered by Bethlehem Archaeology Group digs.

Local resident Elizabeth Kay is exhibiting her collection of sea shells, and Howard Gmelch has contributed to a 50th anniversary display of historic Albany and French newspapers announcing the end ofW orld War II in Europe.

In the children's room, Paul Sypek, 9, a third-grade pupil at Slingerlands School, is displaying his collection of butterflies and other insects.

D Decker (From Page 1)

was near the end of his first four­year term on the town board and had planned to run for re-election.

On the board, Decker had worked for several years on start­ing a van service for senior citi­zens in town. The service, initially for transportation to medical and therapy appointments in the Al­bany area, began operating this

·spring.

Decker also worked ·on the town's reassessment, on improve­ments to the town's parks and on a salary study and personnel manual.

Decker's more than 30 years of experience as a manager in state government were "a tremendous asset in town government," said Supervisor Herb Reilly.

The three freshman town board members,. all fellow Democrats; remembered Decker fondly.

Councilman Scott Houghtaling said he will miss the opportunity of thanking Decker for his early and continuous support of Houghtaling's political career.

"I met him at a fund-raiserwhile I was still in college, and he told me I'd make a good town board candidate," Houghtaling recalled. ''Fouryears later, I was sitting next to him on the town board."

Houghtaling said that Decker had nominated him for the zoning board of appeals in 1992, and helped him run for town board in 1993.

"He always supported young people getting involved," he said. "A lot of people would say, 'Don't take a chance on Scott Houghtal­ing - he's too youi\g,' but not Dick. He gave me his uncondi­tional support, and I hope 'I never let him down."

Councilwoman Victoria Ra­mundo called Decker "the single most helpful person to me as a new board member."

Decker had "a big heart, and cared very deeply aboutthe town," Rarnundoadded. "He was reliable and dependable and brought a wealth of information" to his town board service.

... Into Files

Home or Office . """ ' . '' l' •\..

Councilman Edward Donohue said that "No one wanted to do more good for New Scotland than Dick. He put his heart into being a councilman."

Donohue said that Decker was a mentor to him. "I'm going to miss him very much," Donohue said.

On the other side of the aisle, former Republican Councilman Craig Shufelt said thatDeckerwas "very knowledgeable about a lot of things, and he11 be missed at town meetings and around town. We didn't always agree, but he · always had a good understanding of what was going on in town."

For almost 20 years, Decker served on the board of Hope House, which provides treatment services for young people who ·have drug and/or alcohol prob­lems.

"He was a champion, fully committed to the mission of Hope House," recalled Mary Aon Finn, Hope House executive director.

"He really understood the na­ture ofourworkand helped us cut the red tape we sometimes ran into with.ourpu blic funding," Finn said.

side the slashed circle symbol for "No," and'below that the words, "No Dump Here" and "Save Our Schools."

The auditorium was half-filled with more than 300 angry resi­dents, all ofwhom evidently shared the signs' sentiments' opposing the landfill being sited in Coeymans.

The proposed new ANSWERS landfill is slated for 50 acres of a 363-acre site' between Route 9W and the Thruway, just south of the Bethlehem town line.

In a brief presentation, Munsey explained how the North Coey­mans site came to be chosen for a landfill that would serve the 14 communities in the ANSWERS consortium.

Munsey said that the site's geology, including 60 feet of clay­based soil, was suitable for a landfill under regulations of the state Department of Environmental Conservation.

Munsey added that road con­nections were good, with trucks coming from ANSWERS' Rapp Road transfer station via the Thru­way to Exit 22, then just about a mile and a half on Route 144 to the landfill site.

For more than two-and-a-half . hours, residents peppered the Albany officials with questions and speeches; with people in the audi­ence occasionally chiming in with, "AnsWer the question" and "Stop lying."

Several people suggested that revenue from the landfill will bail

to begin the process for siting a new landfill as a condition of ex­panding its current landfill on Rapp Road.

'This process would have hap­pened whether or nor the city was having a good budgetyear,"Bruce said.

Coeymans Councilman Ronald Hotaling Jr. said that ANSWERS should put its landfill siting work on hold until litigation over the validity of town laws banning the importation of solid waste is de­cided.

"Why spend your taxpayers' money, and cost us more in ex­penses, when we should wait until this is settled, then see where we are then?" he asked.

McArdle responded that AN­SWERS is "under serious time constraints" and is "required by · DEC to move ahead."

Parents and schoolchildren voiced concerns about the site's one-mile proximity to the RCS middle and high school campus.

"If this is a mile away from school and is going to smell, how can we get good teachers to come and teach us?" asked fifth-grader Tara McGrath.

Munsey replied thatthe "odors would be controlled so they wouldn't reach the school."

Several people asked whether ANSWERS will reimburse resi­dents for property-value declines or private well failures related to the landfill.

Bruce said that a "host commu­nity benefit package," which has yet to be negotiated, would likely coverreimbursementfornegative impacts on property-owners.

McArdle added that ASNSWERS would be legally li­able for any negative impacts, whether or riot there is a host community benefit agreement.

The landfill siting process con­tinues next Wednesday, May 31, with a formal scoping session to determine issues that the project's draft environmental impact state­ment will cover.

The session, conducted by EnCon, the lead agency on the project, will be at 7 p.m., also at RCS High School on Route 9W in

'Ravena. Letters raising issues to be

covered in the DEIS can be sent Robert Ewing, NYSDEC Region 4, 1150 North Westcott Road, Schenectady 12306. Letters must be received by June 12.

~oin the fun at state campgrounds adds spiel, With Memorial Day weekend

fast approaching, the state Depart­ment of Environmental Conserva­tion urges all New Yorkers to en­joy the family fun available at EnCon's 50 campgrounds in the Adirondacks and Catskills.

Throughout New York last year, 1.5 million people visited EnCon Campgrounds, and this year that number is likely to rise, said EnCon Spokesman Gary Sheffer. A campground vacation is appealing for a number of rea­sons. "Generally they (camp­ground vacations) are a very inex­pensive option for families," said Sheffer.

Depending on the amenities at the campground, fees range from $9to$15.

Special registration procedures will be enforced for Memorial Day

weekend at several campgrounds, including Hearthstone Point and Rogers Rock in Warren County, Northhampton Beach and Caroga Lake in Fulton County and Moffitt Beach and Sacandaga in Hamil­ton County.

At these campgrounds, only registered campers will be allowed in the facilities from 8 p.m to 8 a.m .. and campers will be required to complete pre-registration forms.

For Memorial Day weekend, campers with more than one case of beer, one beer ball, one liter of liquor or two liters of wine will be required to get a sj>ecial alcohol permit

In addition, at Hearthstone Point, Rogers Rock and Caroga Lake campgrounds, special ID bracelets will be issued to all reg­istered campers in an effort to

Sports experts recommend running 'gear

Choosing the right shoes, socks and clothes can enhance runners' performance in all sea­sons. However, specialfabrics are formulated to increase comfort during warm-weather runs.

AccordingtotheSGMASports Apparel Products Council, con­sumers should look for the fol­lowing qualities in running gear:

• Fabrics should be used that draw moisture .away from the bodytokeep'yoitandyourdothes cool, dry and free of moisture.

• The fabric should also "breathe," in order to keep yoU from getting overheated. '

• You want to feel your clothes as little as possible. Make sure clothes are light and do not stick to your body.

• Choose bright colors to be fashionable and safe. These col­ors help motorists, cyclists and pedestrians to see you.

One of the most important pieces of sports equipment used by runners is theif.shoes.Runners should consider the following factors when selecting shoes:

• They must absorb shock to prevent injuries like shin splints.

• They should give support to stabilize your feet, in order to prevent injuries to ankles, knees and thigh bones.

• They must be lightweight and comfortable to wear.

Most importantly, shoes should be running shoes and not any other type -·of shoe on the market (aerobic, tennis, etc.).

When trying' on shoes, you should wear the same socks that you will be running in. Socks may be thick or thin; it is just a per­sonal preference. However, they should be able to manage mois­ture and keep feet cool and dry. Many runners preferto wear thick socks, because they provide ex­tra padding and last longer.

Plant doctor prescribes techniques Ellen Henke, Ph.D., known as

America's Plant Doctor, recom­mends the following tips for grow­ing great vegetables:

• Enrich the soil and improve its texture with compost. Make your own compost in a pile or even more efficiently in an enclosed bin.

•Try to plant on a schedule that does not coincide with pest-emer­gence times. Remove pest habi­tats, and plant pest-resistant and disease-resistant varieties if avail­able. If pesticides are necessary, investigate insecticidal soaps and botanicals, and try to apply spot treatments for specific problems.

• Nurture healthy soil and healthy plants, since weak plants that are under stress are more prone to problems. Clean the gar· den, as well as the places where pests overwinter, regularly to eliminate pest eggs.

• Cold-tolerant vegetables, like lettuces, spinach and peas, are best grown from seeds and can be

planted as soon as the soil is work­able. Other fast-maturing types, like cucumbers, pumpkins ·and beans, can be planted from seeds after the danger of frost is past.

• Slow-growing varieties, like

eggplants, peppers and tomatoes, should be started from seeds in­doors or bought from nurseries.

• Transplants should be posi­tioned at exactly the same depth they were previously.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS:

"Don't Worry, I'm a good driver!"

,,

. Enjoy This Memorial Day Weekend ...

Don't Drink and Drive! Good driving requires more than keeping alert and driving defensively. What you do before you get into that car is even more important. If you drink alcohol and

then get behind the wheel - no matter how good a dnver you are- you become a danger to yourself, your passengers, pedestrians and other motorists. Unfortunately 1n Albany County, most OWl fatalities involve passengers.

The Voorheesville girls softball teamovercametheoddsonFriday afternoon to defeat league rival Averill Park 4-3 to clinch the Colo­nial Council Championship.

The Lady Birds, who upended the Lady Warriors for the second time this season,_had to contend with playing in rainy conditions and on their opponents' field.

However, Voorheesville took advantage of the playing condi­tionsin the first inning. RBI singles by seniors Kelly Griffin ant: Kristin Dougherty and two Averill Park throwing errors helped give the Lady Birds a 3-0 lead.

The bats for Voorheesville then went cold as the team went score­less over the next five innings. Averill Park countered by scoring a run in the third and two in the fifth inning to tie the score at 3.

With ·the game tied at 3 enter­ing the final inning, LarinaSuker stroked a ·2-2 pitch for a ground­rule double. Sophomore Tia Sulli­van pinch-ran for Suker and went to third on a bunt by Lauryn Uoyd. A tly ball to right field by Cristie Arena scored Sullivan with the game-winning run.

Suker was the star of the game once again for Voorheesville (14-1 league, 16-2 overall). In addition to scoring the winning run,Larina struck out 10 and turned a key

. ·double play in the bottom of the seventh inning to clinch the win. Ironically, in an earlier season­matchup at Averill Park, Suker belted a solo home run to lead

"' theLady Birds to a 1-0victory.

"'This was a special win for us," said head coach Nadine Bassler.

- l:)be girls handled the pressures of defending the championship. We defied the odds by not only playing in Averill Park, but with the conditions we were dealt."

On Tuesday, May 16, as a re­sult of committing four errors in the field, Mechanicville handed Voorheesville its first league loss ofthe season 4-2.

The loss broke V'ville's 31-game league winning streak. The Lady Birds' last Colonial Council loss came against Mechanicville in their 1994 season opener. Voorheesville now awaits its seed­ing in the upcoming Section II, Class C Tournament

'T'r\0\..l"~C~Z. J\-\"7 mE SPOTLIGHT

Cliffhangers mark TVLL action By James Williams

How much excitement can a person take in two days? If you are a player or coach on the Davies Office Refurbishing little League team, the answer would be about 15 innings worth.

Davies played back-to-hack games Friday and Saturday, both of which went into extra innings and were finally decided by one run. They lost the first game, 7-6, to Farm Family Insurance after seven innings, and then carne back Saturday to defeat Messina and Cahill, 4-3, in eight innings. Regu­lation play is six innings.

In Friday's game, Davies opened a four-run lead in the sec-. ond inning, which was answered with one run by Farm Family in . the top of the third. Farm Family added two more in fifth when pitcherMarkMelcherdrewawalk, Rick Root singled him home, Chris Kasarjian hit a single and came home on a fielder's choice.

With the score tied 4-4 at the bottoni of the sixth, both starting

pitchers, A vi Rasowsky for Davies and Malk Melcher for Farm Family, had to be relieved because of the league's six inning pitching limit rule.

Mound chores fell to Steve Maltzman for Davies who issued tl:tree runs, bringing tl:te score to 7-4 in the bottom of the seventh inning, and Davies coming to bat Farm Family's reliever, Jean Lar­away, gave up three walks and a single to Rasowsky, and found herself with the bases loaded, two outs and the score 7-6.

She heaved a wild pitch that got away from catcher Kenneth Por­ter, and brought the runner speed­ing home with the potential tying run. But Porter scrambled back in time, and tagged out the runner, ending the game .

The next day Davies found it­self in another extra-inning nail­biter against Messina and Cahill. This time Davies had to battle back from a 3-0 deficit opened up in the third inning by a lead-off home run by Messina's Brian Rowan.

Eagles just miss out on tournament bid

VV bats heat up a little too late By Janice Gallagher

The idea that a team always plays better against better teams held true for the BC baseball team(7-7,10-11) this year.

Although they narrowly missed sectionals, they did manage to beat four, first-place area teams, includ­ing Columbia and Troy last week. A Columbia victory would have clinched the Gold Division title for the Blue Devils, and Troy remains in first place in the Big Ten.

BC is now in fifth place in the section. The top four teams will go to sectionals.

Last Wednesday, May 17, the Eagles avenged an early season defeat at the hands of Columbia with a 9-8 win.

Kosoc pitched an unusually high-scoringgame,givingupnine hits and four earned runs, but still striking out 10 and walking only one. These nine hits make up 45 percentofthe hits Kosoc has given up all season.

''The team needed to help (Kosoc) by scoring some runs against one of the hardest pitch­ers around and against a good

. team,andwedid," saidcoachJesse Braverman. "It was a good team win." And indeed the hitting was the most impressive of the sea-son.

No one had tripled all year, but · against Columbia, BC's Martin Cadieux had two triples, while Dan

Last Thursday, BC competed in its final meet against opponents Columbia and Scotia, beating them 96-85 and 112-68 respectively.

Track & Field

The Eagles' mile relay team came in first with members fresh­man Scott Cavanaugh, ju.nior Adam Bender, junior Matt Zalen, and senior Scott Rivard.

Cavanaugh was also on the winning 4 x 8 relay team along with Rivard, sophomore Matt Clement, and junior Colin Mooney. Cavanaugh won the 800 meter dash as well, with a time of 2:06.

Off the track, Jason Gutman stood out for Bethlehem. The senior won both the high jump and the discus throw. He finished second in the shot put

"Our performance in field events has been the key our suc­cess this season," said coach Dave Banas. "Over the past few years we have improved in this area tremendously. There· was a time when we would only score 20

Conway and Aaron Thorpe each had one. John Czajka, Eric Bar­toletti and Mike Soronen each had anRBL

This win came off of a 9-Sloss to SaratogaonMonday.Althoughthe Eagles came back from a 4-0 and 9-6 deficit, they couldn't pull it through in the end.

Nevertheless, the hitting effort was valiant, led by sophomore Jeff McQuide,SoronenandBartoletti.

On Thursday, May 18, the Eagles once again proved that they are competitive in the area with a 7-2 win against Troy. They also won for the second time without Kosoc on the mound. Mike DelGi­acco, a promising sophomore pitcher, had his first varsity win, pitching seven innings and strik­ing out five and allowing two runs.

The BC hitting reached a peak with a season-high 13 hits. Kosoc singled and homered, Josh Nay­lor had two singles and a double.

On Saturday, the Eagles fought another close game, but ended up on the short side of the 13-12 Cobleskill game. 'We had one bad inning with defensive lapses, and that ended up costing us the game," Braverman said.

When the weather warmed up, so did the Voorheesville baseball team.

The Blackbirds'raised their record to 5-10 in the league with a 9-2 thumping of Waterford on Monday. Jason Patterson yielded five hits and struck out 13 to gain the win.

The team nabbed its third win of the season on Tuesday, May 16 -once again versus Waterord. "It was the first game this year that we got a lot of hits in a row," said head coach Bill Logan. "Our of­fense really came on strong."

The Blackbirds were led by the bats of Adam Cole,Joe Robichaud and Steve Pilatske, all of whom had two hits and three RBis each. Brandon Emerick had two hits and two RBls, Tom Iarossi had two hits and an RBI, and Dan Meservey chipped in two more hits.

This offensive surge earned Voorheesville the 15-8 victory. Emerick and Pilatske also excelled on the mound for V'ville.

One bad inning cost the Black­birds a game against Schalmont last Wednesday. Although V'ville had four hits to Schalmont's two, errors in the field resulted in

intended to file suit after suit to keep us from being able to build," Sister_ Diaz said.

Douglas and Cheryl Fisher, along with Michael and Rona Devane, were the petitioners named in the Article 78 proceed' ing filed in state Supreme Court in Albany last week The suit seeks an annulment of the recent Beth­lehem Planning Board approval of the project site plan.

While June 9 is the date that has been set to hear the case, it could take several weeks before a decision is rendered, according to town attorney Bernard Kaplowitz. That could delay plans by the Diocese to start construction this summer since the Article 78 means an automatic stay of proceedings, barring the town from issuing any building permits until a court decision is rendered.

The 50-unit apartment complex is slated for a six-acre site off Krumklll Road. Residents of Mar­quis Drive, which would be the main ingress and egress for Marie Rose Manor, have objected to the project, claiming it would nega­tively affect their neighborhood.

The only other access to Marie Rose Manor would be along Au­tumn Drive, a private road owned by The Beverwyck Retirement Community that can only be used in emergencies.

In seeking to annul the plan­ning board action, Fisher cited the effects of added traffic on Marquis Drive from trucks, vans and other vehicles servicing the senior de­velopment

Also mentioned is the decline inpropertyvaluesallegedlycaused by a multi-unit development being located adjacent to a single-family housing area.

In a prepared statement, Fisher said, "We have commenced the first of a series of lawsuits chal­lenging approval ... of the 50-unit apartment building to be located

at the end of Marquis Drive. "It is unfortunate legal action

was necessary, however, all of our concernspreviouslyraisedrotown officials, the sponsor and others were inadequately acted upon. We are extremely confident that the court will fully agree with our position in this action and reverse the site approval given by the tOwn planning board."

Planning board chairman Doug Hasbrouck denied the neighbors were given short shrift "I think everything was addressed and I think they know that"

Honor societies tap area Sage students

Several local Russell Sage Col­lege students were recently in­ducted intO national honor societ-ies.

Barbara Kling of Slingerlands, a senior English major, Sandra Sheedy of Slingerlands, a senior nutrition major, and Noelle Crisafulli of Voorheesville, a jun­ior physical therapy major, were inducted into the Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society.

Phi Kappa Phi is open to juniors in the top 5 percent of their class and seniors in the top 10 percent of their class.

Sister Diaz said the $3.2 million Jean M._Ungeman of Glenmont, in federal money that makes the Anna Mane G. Sohn~n of Delmar project possible "will not be jeop- and P_amela S~mpfh of Delma~ ardized at this point in time. We

Residents of the Dutchbrook development (including Marquis Drive and Clifton Way) made their concerns known til the planning board during review proceedings last year, but panel members did not feel the issues raised were significant enough to deny the application.

Officials of DePaul Manage­ment Corp. earlier this year com­missioned a traffic study from the Creighton Manning Engineering firm that concluded the project would produce only about 14 additional vehicle trips per peak hour (from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.).

Town board members have been solidly behind the project since it was first proposed in 1993, voting to rezone the Marie Rose Manor parcel from residential to senior housing district - a spe­cial designation meant to encour­age such projects in the town. Fisherplansanotherlawsuitwithin the next few weeks challenging the zone change.

prices" are. ''The industry makes the customer uncomfortable and insecure," and that has changed the relationship between the re­tailer and the buyer, she said.

Another problem is the feeling of uncertainty resulting from the delayed state budget and the fu­ture of many state workers' jobs. In the past, state workers who live and shop locally have always been a stable population, whereas now, "They feel insecure," said Schuyler.

''When people are feeling inse. cure, it's not the time they make a furniture purchase," she added.

She said she thinks the furni­ture business will ride out the slump when the economic dust settles, but she is eager to pay her debts through an inventory reduc­tion sale.

She said she has always done business by her parents' rules: "Buy beautiful things, always tell the truth, pay your bills, treat customers as someone special and you'll be fine," but the rules seem to be changing in today's. world.

Schuyler said the decision was not an easy one. "I really feel sad. First of all, this business was a continuation of a 40-year service to Delmar."Village Furniture had evolved as an extension of the Village Shop, which was started by Schuyler's father, Herman 'Rasker. Schuyler took it overnine years ago in a 900-square-foot 'space on 411 Kenwood Ave.

Rubin Organization of Philadel­phia) "appearto have done a pretty credible job in addressing the board concerns," said town plan­ner JeffUpnicky.

"My suspicion is that they will probably end up recommending that the (planning) board consider (the DEIS) complete," Upnicky said.

Should the planning board make that recommendation to the town board, which has lead agency status, a full-fledged public review of the controversial project could begin this summer. ·

Town Supervisor Sheila Fuller said that if the planning board acts on May 31, she's prepared to seek action at the June 14 town board meeting as far as setting a public comment period and the date for a public hearing on the 423,000-square-foot plaza.

For a while, it looked like the project would never get off the ground. The original DEIS sub­mitted last summer was roundly criticized by the Tectonic Engi­neering Co. ofHighland Mills and Greenplan Inc. of Rhinebeck The consultants identified more than 350 omissions and oversights regarding the project's impact on traffic, noise and safety.

''We had country pine pieces and a few rugs," she recalled, adding that the business quickly outgrew its limited space.

Forthenextfiveyears, the store was located at380 Delaware Ave., which now houses I Love Books. The Village Furniture Company then moved to Main Square nearly three years ago. As a result of the three large windows facing Dela­ware Avenue, the space and light of the Main Square space helped create "a certain charm" to the store and its wares. "Customers come in and they say 'I want to stay."'

But Schuyler will miss more than the ambiance when she leaves. She said she will sorely miss her staff- Della Haggerty (with more than 30 years), Gor­don Blaisdell, Cindy Daley, Glenna Magee, Kevin Northrup and Brian Scott. "Some of them worked for my parents- I feel tremendous attachment and respect," for them," Schuyler said.

The Village Furniture Company will first close for two days, today, May 24, and May 25 to prepare for a final sale, which is scheduled to last throughout June. ·

For customers who have al­readyplaced orders, Schuyler said she wants to assure them that all orders will be completed. "People who have special orders have no reason for concern," she said.

"I've been blessed to work in this community, and I feel like the' customers are my extended fam­ily."

was unveiled in 1993.

The anticipated action of the planning board is "certainly good news," said project director Doug Grayson. "I hope the planning board follows through because ·" this is what we've been shooting • for for a long time." · '

Grayson declined comment on whether the Rubin Organization would be amenable to building a smaller-scale mall along the lines of 250,000 square feet

As part ofthe revised D EIS, the developer was required to de­scribe the impact from a 250,000-foot-shopping center- the maxi­mum size recommended recently in the town master plan.

"Obviously, we'd prefer to do what we initially applied for," Graysonsaid.Butatleastonetown member, Doris Davis, has come out opposed to the larger-scale plan, citing the significant impacts that Southgate would have on the surrounding area.

If at all possible the company would like to start construction this Yel!f and open the shopping center by the time school begins in the fall of 1996, Grayson said.

The anchor store for the Southgate complex is expected to beaK mart "Super K" that com­bines a supermai'ket with a dis­count general merchandise store.
