A town board forum in the fire house. Right, an attentive audi­ence: the Robert Zautners of Slingerlands. Ph%sby Andrew L Jones

SLINGERLANDS

A park but what kind? This could be the. year

Slingerlands gets its long sought park in the New Scot­land Rd.-Bridge St. "triangle" east of the underpass, but there are no plans that tell what kind· of a park it will be.

lt was just a year ago that the town board plunked down $20,500 to buy 4.14 acres of vacant land adjacent to the Slingerlands fire house for a new town park. The action brought the dream of long­time Slingerlands residents one big step closer to fulfill­ment.

Bethlehem Supervisor Harry H. Sheaffer told a gathering of 45 residents that the town would level and grade the tract this spring, and would provide some greenfield and a picnic area. "Beyond that," he said, "we are open to suggestions. Some people would like to see a structured park without play­fields, others would like to have tennis courts and a wading pool or some playground equipment for youngsters."

Sheaffer's comments came at an open discussion of public matters held by the town board last Wednesday at the Slinger­lands fire house. The board was sufficiently encouraged by the turnout to state it would hold similar sessions elsewhere

in the town in the coming months.

Members of the audience and the board covered a wide spectrum in the two-hour con­clave: federal revenue sharing, street paving, sewer taxes, Barnfield subdivision drainage, bicycle paths, restrictions on signs, sidewalk plowing, gar­bage collection, posting of speed limits, the trash recyc­ling center, the Job Corps and the Lyndhurst subdivision.

In response to questions on the propriety and cost of the town's appeal of the December federal court decision on the Job Corps facility, Sheaffer said the principle of home rule I was at the root of the action. "The decision (to appeal) is based on whether the town is going to be dictated to, lied to, cajoled, misled and - misin­formed by the federal govern­ment," he declared. "I think we have pursued this on a very sound basis."

Last month U.S. District Court Judge James Foley de­nied the town's petition seek­ing a show cause order against the U.S. Dept. of Labor for failing to file an environmental impact statement before sign­ing a two-year $~OO,OOO lease agreement for the Our Lady of Angels seminary in Glenmont.

VOORHEESVILLE

Villagers protest annexation try

Peter Baltis lost approxi­mately a third of the tract and half the audience in a new at­tempt to persuade the village of Voorheesville to annex a par­cel of commercially zoned land he owns in the town of New Scotland.

Some 35 people turned out for a public hearing last week at the Voorheesville Central High School auditorium on a petition by Baltis, a Voorhees­ville resident, to have a l2-acre tract on Rt: 155 near the junc­tion of Rt. 85A annexed so that he can hook into the village water syste1)1 and subsequently build a small shopping plaza on the site. The land is adja­cent to the village line but lies in the town of New Scotland, which has no public water sys­tem.

John Cholakis, an Albany attorney retained by Saltis, presented the revised petition at a joint hearing held by the town and village boards. At the hearing last November, the joint boards rejected the peti­tion for annexation of approxi­mately 21 acres owned by Bal­tis and Claude Rodrigue. At that time Cholakis outlined a plan for a commercial develop­ment after Baltis had told this newspaper he planned to de­velop a residential subdivision of 18 lots on the site. The de­cision was applauded by the audience of 75 residents.

This time the acreage was smaller, the audience slimmer, the opposition just as vehe­ment, but the boards took no action. "There was no plan for land use," observed New Scot­land supervisor Stephen Wal­lace, but added: "The general intent appears to be commer­ciaL"

SPOTLIGHT ANAL YSIS

Job Corps '77: Enough is enough In the eight months since the U.S. Dept. of

Labor created a furor in Bethlehem with a be­lated disclosure of plans to establish a Job Corps center in a vacant seminary in Glen­mont, citizen reaction among affected seg­ments of the community appears to have crystallized. In that time Glenmont citi­zens organized opposition to the project, Rep. Samuel S. Stratton broke off a brief attempt to mediate the controversy, then claimed credit for persuading the department to establish the center on a one-year trial basis, the town lost a federal court suit to halt the project and has filed an appeal, and the Singer Co. is implementing a government contract to set up and administer the facility.

In the light of these developments and the impending arrival of the first Job Corps en­rollees in" about five weeks, the consensus of the Bethlehem community at large seems to shape up this way:

On the Job Corps controversy • The time has come for the Bethlehem

community to extend an official and sincere welcome to Singer Co. administrators of the New York Job Corps Center, their staff and their enrollees. They are not to blame for the poor climate created by fumbling federal offi­cials before awarding the contract to Singer.

On the U.S. Dept. of Labor • There is no reason to forgive U.S. Dept.

of Labor officials for their insensitive, arro-· gant and bumbling approach to the selection of the Glenmont site and preliminary steps to establish the center. There is no excuse for their shoddy treatment of town officials and local citizens and their disregard of ethi­cal and businesslike procedures in carrying out their public responsibilities. That is now wa ter over the dam. particularly since the main villains in the cast have been replaced in the Carter administration turnover in Washington.

On the Singer Co. • By the same token, there is little reason

for citizens or town officials to transfer to the Singer Co. administrators the sour taste and resentment created by government bureau· crats. So far Singer people have demon­strated sincerity and a resolve to do a good job and be a good neighbor. They come here with a strong reputation and a laudable track record in Job Corps work. They de­serve a chance to apply their expertise here.

• At the same time the center director should take immediate steps to appoint a small, workable community relations council

to provide a vehicle of communication and for solving mutual problems. Communityaccep· tance would be strengthened by an approach by Singer that has a little more humility and cooperation than the spirit that came out at last week's informational forum in Delmar. A "tough" approach ·may be commendable in disciplining an organization; it does not always work in a free-thinking community.

On the Glenmont neighbors • The concerns of the Glenmont neighbors

on security and environmental impact stem· ming from the new facility are very real and understandable. In the light of recent de­velopments the steering committee of the neighborhood organization should write off their bad experience with the Dept. of Labor and work with Singer through representation on the community relations council Singer should establish.

On town government •. The town of Bethlehem should consider

withdrawing its litigation against the Dept. of Labor. It was fully justified in its original complaint, and it appears to have legal grounds for a successful appeal. Further pursuit is costly to taxpayers, some of the original defendants are now out of office, and there is the overhanging uncertainty of what will happen in the appellate court to the town's documented factual arguments that were rejected by a federal district judge.

On Sam Stratton's role • Congressman Stralton's long and dedi­

cated service to his constituency, his reputa· tion for non·partisan integrity and legislative responsibility and his huge personal popular­ity make his performance in L'Affaire Job Corps difficult to understand. When a group of citizens in his district went to him for help in stemming the bulldozer of Big Govern­ment, he gave them a token ear, espoused the very cause they were fighting and devoted subsequent energy to explaining why he didn't want to help them. On television last week he was still on the defense, pointing to his overwhelming endorsement at the polls in Bethlehem. He did not add that in an elec-' tion sweep by Democratic candidates of all levels, he was the only Democratic candidate for a major office whose plurality in the town of Bethlehem was cut while others made im­pressive gains. Running without visible opposition he lost one district, barely carried another and in a record turnout his Bethle· hem plurality was cut by 1,200 votes.

BETHLEHEM

School board eyes budget, fuel pinch

It's budget time again in the Bethlehem school district and residents can make suggestions regarding budget development at board of education meetings the first and third Wednesdays of each month. The 8 p.m. meetings are held at the Edu­cational Services Center, 90 Adams PI.

Speaking to the budget, Joe Vandeloo suggested at last. week's meeting that the mini· mum of 17 students per class ·should be raised, and that tax­payers should have some say regarding which elective courses should be offered. He also suggested holding the Tuesday and Friday basket­ball games an hour after school when the building is at peak heat.

In another action; the board voted not to appeal last week's state Supreme Court ruling, which denied the board's ap­peal of a town planning board decision granting approval of preliminary plans for the Aple­do oro subdivision on Van Dyke Rd. opposite the High School. School administrators objected to what they felt would be traffic and safety hazards caused by the pro­posed 35-dwelling develop­ment.

The board approved a salary increase of$I,800 for Dr. Law­rence Zinn, superintendent of schools. At $40,000, Dr. Zinn will "not be the best paid, but one of the best," said Mrs. Ann Patton, board president.

Zinn reported that his office had been notifed that the Beth­lehem town board adopted a

resolution stating that the an­nexation to the city of Albany of 240 acres located on the· southerly side of Delaware Ave. and on the northerly side of the N ormanskill is in the public interest.

The annexation proposal is expected to be accepted by the Albany City Council immi­nently. The town board clear­ed the way for the annexation at a special meeting on Jan. 7 following a public hearing last October on the petition by resi­dents of the area.

The tracts in question were originally owned by Grace­land Cemetery and are con­nected to the Albany city water system. The annexation will mean a loss of about $3,000 income.

In light of the natural gas shortages and school closings to save gas, Zinn reported that about half of the High School is heated by natural gas. Charles Gunner, principal, considered closing the school, or operating on a restricted schedule. For the present time, the crisis necessitating such ac· tion has passed. All other schools are heated by oil.

Swimming title at stake today

Bethlehem Central's swim team is looking for its ninth in a row when it goes against Shaker for the league title to­day at latham. Shaker beat Bethlehem by two points ear­lier at the Adirondack Relay Carnival. The Blue Bison are led by All-Americans Peter Robbiano and Steve Rehfuss, along with numerous state qualifiers. BC defeated Shaker easily, 53-30, in the first con­test but the rapidly improving Blue Bison (7 wins in 8 outings) should push the Eagles this time around.

Coach Jack Whipple has had to interrupt this coaching du­ties due to an ailing back but has seen his team set two new pool records. Ken Neff broke the 500 freestyle record in a 54-30 defeat of Troy and the foursome of Neff, lorren El­kins, Bill Reagan and Mark Delaney broke the 400-yard freestyle relay record in a meet at Queensbury.

Eagle quint eyes run for the· flag

For Bethlehem Central bas-­ketball players every game now is a big one.· At 8-3 the Eagles trail front-running Sha­ker by two full games andl have another shot at the Blue. Bison.

Friday night Scotia will be in Delmar. The Eagles won the first meeting in a 56-54 squeaker. Coach Dale Walts was pleased with his team's re- . bound last week from two straight defeats. BC survived I pressure-packed finishes at Niskayuna and Guilderland to ~ regain second place in the Su­bur;ban -Council race. The win at Guilde;land 'snapped a seven-game winning streak by the Dutchmen. Ed Rohrback­er's five points in the last min­ute and Bob Engleman's layup in the waning seconds saved the Niskayuna game. Dave Bursey's 18 points was the big factor at Guilderland.

Duplex project .has new design

The develQper of a proposed subdivision off Elm Ave. in Delmar has altered his plans to include a two-story Colonial style design for eight duplex houses with front-yard septic systems.

The disposal plan, David Elliott told the Bethlehem plan­ning board last week, permits locating the houses farther back from the road. There will be a common driveway between each pair of duplexes with parking in the rear.

The Colonial design, he said, "will make it hard to tell they are duplexes, and the style will conform with the character of the neighborhood." He also proposes swales between units to avoid any disturbance of the drainage pattern.

The lots will vary from 16,500 square feet to 35,500, Elliott told the board. The project is in a residential Sin­gle-A zone that backs up to a Double-A zone. and is not on the town sewer system. It is on the south side of Elm Ave. just east of the town park.

Don't stash ash In that trash!

Glowing red embers in the family fireplace is a warm, friendly part of the winter scene in New Scotland. Recent­ly some of those friendly em­bers have found their way into the town's sanitation trucks and others have glowed all the way to the town dump. Accord­ing to Peter Van Zelten, New Scotland highway superin­tendent, the truck crews can do with a little less warmth and friendliness from residential fireplaces.

This week Van Zelten issued an appeal to New Scotland residents with fireplaces: when removing ashes from the fire­place, please don't put them out for pickup with the house­hold trash unless you're sure the ashes are properly doused. "They may look 'out' but often they're not," observed Van Zelten.

He reported that last week trash in the town disposal trucks caught fire from live coals on three occasions, and that fires at the town landfill on Upper Flat Rock Rd. were attributed to "live" ashes.

Van Zetten also reminded residents that his trucks are not responsible for picking up large appliances and discarded furniture. These items, he said,

'Dimes' drive has

Delmar beneficiary

The annual March of Dimes campaign is on, and one Del­mar resident has a special rea­son to hope the drive is a suc­cess.

Over 20 years ago, Richard Sherman of 187 Adams St. was struck with polio. Since that time, through the help of the March of Dimes, polio has been conquered. Sherman is one of two polio patients in Albany county, the other is in the V A hospital.

Each year, the March of Dimes gives Sherman a grant of $2,080, which partially pays for the attendant he has during the day while his wife, Nancy, teaches at Elsmere elementary school.

In 1954, Sherman was work­ing for OAF in Rensselaer. After the polio, he was in the hospital for two years and on an iron lung for six months. He still uses a respirator a great deal of the time. Sherman's lungs have about 10 percent of the usual capacity. He said he can go 10-12 hours without the respirator, "but it gets tiring."

Sherman speaks highly of the March of Dimes and what they have done for him. "Any

equipment I need, they'll have, just as soon as can be. They're very good aboui equipment, excellent," said Sherman. -

Thomas J. McEnaney, chap­ter chairman of the March of Dimes, estimates that the foun­dation has given Sherman $80,000 over the 22 years he has had polio, to pay for hospital bills, equipment and the atten­dant.

Over 200,000 babies are born each year with birth defects. The March of Dimes is in­volved in research, with the hope of presenting birth de­f~ct~, and provides services f~ Victims.

Flyers are in the mail solocit­ing support. Checks can be sent to March of Dimes, 179 N. Main Ave., Albany, 12206.

Swim-a-thon fund projects planned

Bethlehem Central Athletic Assn. raised a record $8,300 in last fall's Swim-a-thon for financial assistance of various sports programs in the school community.

Mrs. Dan Furey, secretary of the BCAA. said the funds rais­ed this year would tie budgeted for the purchase of a univer­sal gym for the Middle School, softball backstops and pool equipment. Funds also will be used to finance an eighth grade basketball team, which would not have been possible this year under the current board of ed­ucation budget.

In the Swim-a-thon, the booster organization's major fund-raising project, some 435 swimmers covered 18.000 pool lengths - the equivalent of 260 miles - at the Middle School and High School tanks.

As a private citizen of the: of Bethlehem I question

judgment of Det. Marvin in soliciting support

the Elks Auxiliary talent on behalf of the Bethle­

Police Benevolent Assn.­police. department The implication is the support-your­

a cross-endorsement which undermines the primary pur­pose of the Bethlehem PBA, which exists for the benefit of members and their families.

In no way do I question the validity of the program of the Elks Auxiliary or the personal zeal of Detective Koontz. We trust that in the future suffi­cient thought be given to avoid any professional conflict.

Calling 'nine youths'

Editor, The Spotlight: This letter is addressed to the

nine youths who stated in the Nov. 4 issue of the Spotlight that there is nothing to do after school and on weekends (and to anyone else who shares this problem).

If you are interested in solv­ing this problem. come to a meeting at SI. Thomas School Feb. 10 at 7:30 p.m. Other young people will be present to discuss the possibility of a youth program. You will not be asked to identify yourselves.

We would like to know how many people plan to attend the meeting, so please contact Kathy Quinn (439-9583) or Cindy Palmer (439-5385) sometime before "the-meeting.

There is a need for such a program, but we need you! H ope to see you there. Delmar Cindy Palmer,

Kathy Quinn

Thank you, Bethlehem

Editor, The Spotlight: I would like to thank the

many residents of Bethlehem who gave the Oberlin College Choir such a warm welcome. My special thanks go to Alice Howes, who arranged housing for almost 80 young people, the families who provided the hospitality, and SI. Thomas Parish, who provided their church for the concert. It is gratifying to work on a pro- . ject which elicits warm friend­ships as well as beautiful music. Delmar A nn Brandon
