MODERN PHARMACY

Michael Krugman

In the United States pharm­acies are permitted to sell over-the-counter remedies

which are safe when taken according to the directions. More powerful and specific remedies must be prescribed by a doctor. People should not, of course. attempt to treat themselves for any serious condition. However. minor symptoms are often easily cared for. Today there is a steadily increasing number of safe over­the-counter medicines for a wide range of minor ailments. Among the most frequent users of home remedies and products purchased over the counter are the aged, of whom there are now about eighteen million in the United States.

BETHLEHEM

,Fish hearing: is grand jury the next stop? With interest quickening in

he town of Bethlehem's civil roceedings to unseat its uspended chief of police. there 'cre growing signs this week

that the action may soon shift o the Albany County district

attorney's office and a possible grand jury investigation.

As the hearings moved into the ninth week since Chief Peter Fish was suspended on Feb, 9 for alleged misconduct in office. District Attorney Sol Greenberg remained non­ommittal but watchful. Over

the weekend, Greenberg told the Spotlight that "we're keeping abreast" of develop­ments in Bethlehem. but stated '" can't speculate" as to whether he would intercede in the proceedings. Meanwhile he is reviewing transcripts of the Bethlehem hearings. Said Greenberg: "The quantum of proof is very different in a criminal proceeding as compared to civil matters." He pointed out that the grand jury returned an indictment against Richard Spinosa. a suspended Bethlehem police officer. as a result of information given the DA's office by the town,

Meanwhile the formal hearing on the Fish suspension. which got under wayan schedule last Friday. was due to resume on Wednesday of this week. possibly with a new venue: the justice courtroom at 118 Adams St..

Onlookers at town hall Friday were accommodated in the second-noor hearing room. but if the crowd grows. more space will- be needed, Last week Francis Bergan. a retired associate justice of the Court of

Delmar attorney William J, Cade, declared la;t week that the entire proceedings will be open to the public. but if the district attorney takes over. the doors will be closed with dispatch,

A surprise development last Friday took the opening play away from Cade after routine first-inning dueling with David A, Goldstein. special assistant town attorney prosecuting for the town. Capital Newspapers.

Peter L Danziger. counsel for the paper. invoked the First Amendment. under which a number of newsmen have been able to protect the identity of news sources on confidential information, Bergan resen'ed decision on the motion. which he termed "an important collateral and a constitutional question" and which took up the last hour of the two-hour session. It came about this way:

Goldstein had subpoenaed M uskal after Councilman Edward Mocker had stated in sworn testimony during the

pre-hearing investigation that Muskal had told Mocker Fish had shown him a copy of a federal income tax return of a Bethlehem official. Mocker said Muskal had made the statement during a 1974 coO\'ersation at LaCasa. a Selkirk restaurant owned by Mocker. Mocker's deposition stated. in part: "During our conversation. I asked Mr. Muskal if he would like to have a drink and he replied that he would ha\'e a coke, I asked him if he would like something stronger. like a heer. and he replied. in substance. that he was afraid to take a d rink in the town of Bethlehem because during a meeting with Chief of Police Peter Fish in Fish's office at the town of Bethlehem Police Station. Fish had threatened \1uskal to be careful In the town of Bethlehem hecause he (Fish) was going to 'get him' (Muskal), Muskal stated further that Fish was a dangerous man because Fish had shown Musk~lI a copy of a federal tax return of a certain then Town of Bethlehem official whom Mr, Muskal identified to me, ~1r. rV1uskai told me that he had had some legal tmining and that he thought M r, Fish's possession of the official's tax return was improper and illegal."

Fish IS charged with improper possession of copies of Form 1040 return~ of two town officials and their \\'i\'es for the years 1971 and 1972and divulgi~g the information by showing the documents "on al least three separate occasions,"

Goldstein also read into the record a March 25 Times Union cartoon and editorial that showed Fish, in effecl. telling the town of Belhlehem to "put up or shut up" when.

possession of certain information" that would have enabled the town 10 "put up." Bergan's ruling was expected this week after reviewing the attorneys' briefs.

The procedural sparring was due to resume this Wednesday after Bergan rules on the Danziger-Muskal motion and a motion by Goldstein to ha\'e Fish remo\'ed from the town payroll pending disposition of the charges. Once the preliminaries are completed. Rergan is expected to start hearing testimony.

Bergan: 43 years on the bench Francis Bergan's mandatory

retirement from the state's highest courl al age 70 didn't slow his pace. He's been busy receiving awards. serving on the Uniform State Laws commission and teaching a course on the judiciary to Albany Law School seniors. Now he's sitting back on the bench as hearing officer in Bethlehem's celebrated Fish case.

He also is chairman of Gov. Carey's judicial nominating committee for the Third Judicial District and chairman of the state bar association's media awards committee and a member of the State Bar Journal editorial board.

Small wonder these people take advantage of his experience: an Alb.any city courl judge at 27, then police judge in his native city for six years, nominaled by the Albany County Democratic Com~

mittee for the State Supreme Court. elected to a 14-year term in 1935 and another in 1959. served 28 years in the court's Third ludicial Distr;c!. In lhat span he served 13 years as a lrial judge. In 1949 he was appointed by Governor Dewey to the Appellate Division. was named presiding justice by Governor Rockefeller in 1960, and in 1963 was elected 10' the Court of Appeals wilh bi· partisan support. After nine years as an associate justice on lhal bench his 70th binhday forced him to step down.

Francis Bergan may be one of the few jurists around who earned his law degree before getting a bachelor's diploma. He had served 10 years on the Supreme Court before he earned a degree from Siena College at the age of 44. He started his career as a newspaper reporter. covering the criminal beat for the old Knickerbocker Press while going to law school. and stayed on lhe paper full·time while clerking for an Albany law firm for $5 a week.

In 1974 lhe slate bar association awarded Francis Bergan its highest honor. the gold medal for distinguished service to the law. Today he lives with his wife. the former Marion Wheldon. in Stone­heng~. They have two sons, Michael Bergan of Delmar, an Albany a!lorney, and William Bergan of Syracuse, a professional photographer, and five grandchildren.

SLINGERLANDS

Residents quiz land developer

Residents of the Caldwell Blvd. area of Slingerlands put an Albany land developer through an hour of questioning and discussion last week on a proposal for a 27-lot subdivision.

Tentative plans for the Woodside South subdivision were unveiled at a public hearing before the Bethlehem planning board in town hall. A contingent of nearby property owners raised queries on drainage. lot size. house designs. sewer and water connections. traffic. soil characteristics and the possibility of converting a swampy area into a wildlife pond.

Paul Cooney. making the presentation for Internet Corp.. said the single-family houses would be built on lots approximately 150 deep with 80-foot frontage. The dwellings

would be offered in half a dOlen basic designs. including Cape Cods. colonials and contemporaries. and would be priced in the $55.000 range. "Not ticky-tacky. not junk." he told the hearing. "We will continue to maintain the reputation of the community." The development is in a Residential Double-A lone. Cooney said some lots "barely meet" minimum requirements.

The subdivision would have only one access. Its main street. with a cul-de-sac. would empty traffic into Caldwell Blvd .. a short-block dead,end street off New Scotland Rd. Only one of the 27 lots is within the water district.

Art group show

The Delmar Art Group's 10th annual spring art show is scheduled for Sunday. April 16. from II·a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Bethlehem Coffeehouse. 125 Adams St.. Delmar. The group consists of Jinx Mercer. Helen St. Clair. Suzanne Seaver and Barbara Wooster.

This potential revelation came to me Friday as I watched the first round in the matter of Town of Rethlehem v, Peter Fish. Everything was gom!! well.

maintaining its customary seat m the pressbox. Michael M uskal. a respected reporter for the paper, had been subpoenaed to. testify as a witness to an alleged violation of law hy Chief Fish. and the paper's lawyer was asking the hearing officer to quash it. Attorney Peter Dan:t.iger argued that his client was protected by the First Amendment from giving such information, as all ne\\'smen supposedlyare.

All these years as a newsman I've looked upon the First Amendment with comfort. grateful for its security in preserving the privacy of my news sourCeS and permitting me to keep confidential things told me in confidence.

Enter M r. Dan:t.iger. who tells me land .Iudge Bergan) that. in substance. if I walk into the A&P ,iust as two gunmen arc cleaning out the cash drawer and the shorter fellow with the scar on his neck shoots the manager while the other fellow says. "Gosh. Eddie. you shouldn't have done that." I don't have to tell the police anything. After all. I'm a newspaper reporter. and thus am a special kind of citizen. No halo. just First Amendment stuff. you know. Sorry, fellows. Better go find yourself some ordinary guy like an engineer or a stock broker to identify the one who did it. And lucky you. Eddie, for having me as a privileged witness to your crime instead of. well. a bus driver.

Then M r. Goldstein spoke up to Mr. Dan:t.iger and the hearing officer. and ruined my great discovery of immunity. He pointed out that the First Amendment was not an "absolute privilege" but a "qualified privilege." He implied Mike Muskal was summoned as an eyewitness. which has nothing to do with protecting a confidential source of information. He also said that Muskal waived the confidentiality factor when he told Councilman Edward Mocker in a restaurant that Chief Fish had shown him a copy of an income tax return filed by a town official.

according to a deposition by Mocker. (People aren't supposed to have other people's tax returns without

• permission.) Now I have to wait for Justice Bergan's ruling to find out that I'm just an ordinary citizen as I had thought I was in the first place.

Danziger and Goldstein brought up ~everal other interesting sidelights. As a newsman. I was pleased to see a publisher rush to the defense of a reporter. in this case a very good reporter. This should comfort Mike M uskal. even though it might embarrass him to find himself told to seek the shelter of a Constitutional amendment designed for another purpose.

It also pleased me to see that both the Times Union and the Knickerbocker News played the story straight. Harry Haggerty. covering the hearing for the Times Union. wrote the story accurately and "down the middle."

Most interesting angle. however. came from Goldstein. the special prosecutor. On March 25. while Goldstein and town officials were still taking closed-door testimony in their investigation of the police department during the 3D-day suspension of Chief Fish. the Times Union came out with a cartoon and editorial that chided Bethlehem for taking so long to specify the charges. The drawing by Hy Rosen, a nationally acclaimed political cartoonist who has world-level talent in this field. depicted

The cartoon enriched Goldstein's legal arsenal. "There's bad faith here," he told the hearing officer. The newspaper printed a cartoon and editorial telling the town to put up or shut up. he said. "when they knew one of their own (reporters) was in possession of information" that would move the case along.

The suspicion here is that Hy Rosen was unaware of the

Now they know how unfortunate the timing was. however unwitting. but that sort of thing happens often in the newspaper business. If there's "faith" that isn't entirely pure. it would be on the part of the publisher and the executive city editor. who do know the facts and who are trying to block a reporter from testifying as a citizen about something that is no longer confidential.

DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THE ENERGY CRISIS

"Reducing dependence on oil will benefit every customer. Buying fuel for efficiency already does."

DAVID WINK WORTH will supervise buying more than $300 million worth of fuel this year so that Niagara Mohawk will be able to provide a continuing supply of electricity to its customers. This staggering cost occurs even though 37070 of the system's electricity is fortunately generated by water power; a great natural advantage. The company also needs more than 3 million tons of coal and 12.4 million barrels of oil annually.

Buying specified quality fuel in big quantities on a rigid timetable is a de­manding business. For example, to make sure a minimum 45-day inventory of coal is on hand at all times, Niagara Mohawk must contract with a number of suppliers up to three years in advance, and deal only with those who are dependable and can supply heat·efficient fuel when and where it's needed.

The $2.50-per·barrel oil of five years ago now costs $12 or more. And while coal has risen from $12 to about $30 a ton in the same period, it's still a far more economical fuel and the supply isn't related to foreign politics.

As a result, Niagara Mohawk has planned new facilities to vastly increase the percentage of coal· fired generation from the present 20%. A single plant needing six million tons of coal a year has been designed.

Reducing dependence on foreign oil to keep essential fuel costs as low as possible was always important, but never more than during this period of national energy crisis.

A message sponsored by Niagara Mohawk's 210,000 shareholders - investors in a continuing energy supply for today AND the future.

The petition stated lhal ··lhe road has been and slill is washing out, has potholes and heaves which are doing considerable damage" to vehicles.

Town automating assessment roll

New Scotland town assessor William C. Bailey is burning midnight oil these weeks in a race against a May I deadline. His project: converting the town's assessment roll to computer.

At the insistence of Supervisor 'Stephen P. Wallace, the town board last week approved a state-aid proposal by Bailey to contract with Armstrong Assessment Administration. Inc .• a Schenectady firm, to carry out the conversion in time for the finalized school tax levy in September rather than set it up for the property tax next January.

New Scotland has approxi­mately 3,300 parcels ofland on the rolls, all of which have to be coded for date processing by computer and "balanced" against the 1977 tax list. Currently the town's tax rolls are processed by an addresso­graph machine using individual metal plates for each parcel, a time-consuming operation. Converting to a computerized concept is a necessary preliminary step toward complying with the state­mandated full-value assess­ment system that will become law in 198\.

Town asking bids on trucks, packer

The New Scotland town board will take bids on a new

, refuse truck. pickup truck and highway dump truck at its next meeting on May 3.

The refuse-truck packer. expected to be in the $60.000 range. will replace a 1971 compactor that "has been repaired so many times there's no use putting more money into it." according to town officials. Highway Supt. Peter Van Zetten said the present packer is "a shambles." but still has some trade-in value.

The town board last week also approved the purchase of a 2-1/2 ton 4-wheel drive pickup truck with snowplow attach­ment to be used for plowing the town's seven posted bridges and for cleaning up snowbanks on narrow corners that pose difficulty for the bigger plows. The board also authorized calling for bids for a new highway dump truck for 1979 delivery on a trade-in of one of the present trucks.

Honoring 28 Boy Scouts who attained the rank of Eagle Scout were Victor J. Riley, Jr., left, president of the National Commercial Bank and Trust Co.; Albany Tulip Queen Mary Kelly, Most Rev.

County flies suit on span collapse

Albany County has served the town of New Scotland with a claim of $80,000 for the collapse of a 90-year-old bridge in Feura Bush. Town attorney James J. Ryan indicated this week the town board probably would fight the claim in court.

The span on Onesquethaw Creek Rd. tumbled into the frozen stream on Feb. 9 after a town highway truck had crossed. The truck reached solid ground before the structure collapsed. The claim. filed by County Attorney Robert Lyman. contends the truck exceeded the span's weight limit. Town officials did not deny the truck was overweight and had used a bridge posted at six tons.

The bridge. built in 1886. is maintained jointly by the county and town. the county being responsible for the underpinning. the town for the decking. The span was redecked by the town two years ago. but there was no data on when the steel pintle-link structure was last refurbished by the county.

The State Dept. of Transportation lent a friendly hand ,to the town this week by installing a wartime "Bailey hridge" at the site. A town crew under Peter Van Zetten. New Scotland highway superin­tendent. shored up the concrete

piers last Thursday and state crews began installing the temporary plank span Monday. Traffic. barred from the crossing since the accident two months ago. was scheduled to use the float-based link this Wednesday. The temporary bridge, named for the engineer who conceived the design. became standard equipment of front-line troops in World War

2 for crossing rivers and streams where existing bridges had been destroyed.

New Scotland Supervisor Stephen P. Wallace said the Bailey bridge was being installed at no cost to the town Uexcept one load of concrete and some blacktop on the approaches." Since the collapse. county highway officials have posted the town's

seven other bridges for various limits ranging from four to six tons.

Legion switches Delmar parade

Delmar's annual Memorial Day parade has been switched from Monday 10 Tuesday in deference to the state­mandated holiday on May 30.

William Blanchard. com­mander of Nalhaniel Adams Blanchard American Legion Post 1040. Elsmere. said the Legion's parade committee made the decision last week to change the parade date to accommodate a number of participating groups with schoolchildren: Although the federal holiday is Monday, May 29. the Legislature has decreed Tuesday. May 30. as a state holiday. causing a conflict with industrial plants. offices and most services such as postoffices, transit schedules. stock and commodity markets. etc.

With the Legislature out of slep wilh most of Ihe U.S. by decreeing its own holiday on Tuesday. the confusion has caused at least one area school to revise its printed school calendar. The Albany Academy's 1977-78 calendar calls for a school holiday on Monday. May 29. 10 permit the cadet battalion to march in Albany's American Legion parade. The calendar was drawn up before the school realized the parade had been set for Tuesday the 301h. This week the school faces the necessity of changing its classroom and exam schedules to conform with a parade commitment it didn't know it had.

A spokesman for the State Senate auributed the switch to "pressure from veterans' groups." George Jiga. a member of the Albanv County American Legion bo~rd. told the Spotlight his organization had worked wilh Ihe office of Sen. Perry Duryea. Senate majority leader. to preserve May 30 as Ihe traditional Memorial Day holiday intitead of "going along wilh" the U.S. observance. Next year May 30 falls on Wednesday.

Meanwhile. the Academy of the Holy I\l ames on New

Scotland Rd.. Albany. also made a change from its published schedule. The school gave notice last week that it will be closed on May 29 and will be in session on May 30.

Parents organize for senior ball

Ten subcommittees have been designated for Ihe Afler­Ball Activities committee of parents of Bethlehem Central High School seniors following an· organizational meeting at i

Ihe school las I Monday. Dr. and Mrs. Alvin P. Lierheimcr and Mr. and Mrs. Robert K. R us lander are general co­chairmen for the event, scheduled for May 26.

Village budget up, taxes hold line

Voorheesville's village board has managed to absorb a pay raise for employees and spiraling inOation in a new village budget without increasing the tax bite.

A tentative village budget of $360.784 will be u p for adoption on April 25. The budget is up 8.1 percent from the current operating budget of $333.742. but the local property tax rate is expected to remain at approximately the same level. $18 per $1.000 assessed valuation. The new budget shows no major changes other than a $500 pay raise voted the village's five full-time employees.

Voorheesville. was arraigned in Bethlehem justice court and released on his own recognintnce pending a later appearance. Police described the weapon as an Oriental device consisting of two sticks bound together by a strong rope.

SPORTS

Bethlehem nine faces rebuilding

When Bethlehem Central's varsity baseball team takes the field this week. weather permitting. Coach Art Ritchko will be looking for an improvement over the 1977 squad that had only the second losing season in the last two decades.

Gone from that team are the two standout hitters. Bill Brooks and John Russum. so Ritchko must rely on unproven players to fill the gaps. Steve Herzog. a senior who will play first base. is Ritchko's best hope to hit the long ball.

With senior pitcher Mike Tagliarini sidelined by arm trouble and Tim Fiti'.Gerald and Jim Cebry just up from the junior varsity. the season will begin with several question marks in the pitching department.

The mound staff has only one proven member in Mark Plate\. The Eagles lost a promising pitcher when Mike Ryan moved to Wyoming. "This came as quite a loss to me and the team," Ritchko said. "We were counting on him."

Catcher Mike Ruslander, a senior. will handle the catching chores. but the rest of the infield positions are up for grabs. With a supply of juniors from the jayvee of last year, Ritchko is looking for the best ball players he can find to

round out the infield. Dan Jagareski and Dan Weinberg. last year's double play combination. will have to earn their spots again as the Eagles enter their final week of training without many established positions.

Ritchko does not offer a guess on the teams to beat in the tough Suburban Council. but figures that last year's league champion. Guilderland. should be strong. although he could not assess their graduation losses. He also felt that it was unfair to evaluate any of his team's chances so early in the year. As of last week. the varsity squad had not been trimmed to its 15 player limit. nor had the candidates undergone any serious outdoor Iraininc.

Holy Names faIr

Delmar greets new nonegenarian

For many women, cooking. housework and household finances can be a fulltime job. Add to this the grandmotherly duties of Christmas and birthdays. correspondence and creative endeavors like pain'ling and rugmaking. and vou have more than a career. But it's not enough for Edna B. Denham.

Mrs. Denham. a 30-year area resident. also finds time to volunteer her services in the nursing home of Child's hospital every week. This still may not seem remarkable until vo~ consider that Mrs. Den'ham this week celebrates her 90th birthday. If she wanted to keep her age a secret. no one would ever guess her age. Mrs. Denham keeps a

schedule that would exhaust younger counterparts.

Where has Mrs. Denham hidden her fountain of youth? She says the key to her agelessness is in the love and devotion of her family.

In 1966 Mrs. Denham and her husband Ralph. celebrated their 60th wedding anniver­sary. He died shortly thereafter. leaving Mrs. Denham three generations of offspring and a lifetime of joyful memories.

"We never had an abundance of money." says Muriel Wood. Mrs. Denham's only daughter. "But we had a very happy home and the security of close family ties."

Mrs. Denham says she and her husband did everything together. from household chores to weekly rides through the countryside visiting

horsefarms in New England. "He had a great sense of humor." she lovingly reflects.

Mrs. Denham's birthday is being cjlebrated "in install­ments" with gifts and bouquets arriving daily from her 13 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren who are scattered throughout the country. "My grandchildren are my pride and joy. Through three generations. there has never been a communication gap in this family."

At 90. Mrs. Denham has outlived three sons; Edgar J. Denham. who resided in Delmar. Ralph Denham Jr. of \\'ashington D.C .. and Harold B. Denham. who lived in Florida. Longevity has left Mrs. Denham with but one complaint: "I can't find anyone my own age with whom to reminisce." she sighed.

Wall Cleaning Simplified

If washing "down" a wall is coming up in one of your weekend plans soon, here is a tip from the professionals. You never wash "down" a wall. you wash "up." That's right. The pro's say, begin at the bottom and work up. This prevents the cleaner from dribbling thr~gh soiled areas and streaking the surface!

1 O-month employees Editor. The Spotlight:

In response to the article in the Spotlight March 30 (on the cost of the school district having to pay unemployment insurance to certain IO-month or part-time employees during the summer). all the facts should be reported.

Mr. Zwicklbauer's figure is high even if all 10-month employees collect unernploy-

When cleaning painted walls, the pro's advise, don't use too strong a solution. Strong detergents can take off paint and then, instead of saving on a repainting job, you may end up having to pay for one after all. Professional wall cleaners, such as Rick of Servlce­MASTER by Rick. say that properly cleaned, a painted wall will take a number of cleanings before requiring repainting. In fact, many times, according to Rick, a smoke-damaged wall following a fire can be restored to pre-fire condition by professional cleaning.

ServiceMAsTER

Whatever tips he passes on, the professional will still clean a wall in less time than it takes to fill a pail with suds. Most pros use an automatic wall cleaning machine that applies a detergent solution to the surface and rinses it almost instantly. without dribbling all over the floor or furniture.

Wall cleaning and other professional tips for correct care of your home and its furnishings are given in the "ServiceMASTER Home Care Handbook." a 21-page publication now available free in Delmar from ServlceMASTER by Rick.
